Roseanne Touts Latest Right-Wing Conspiracy Theory About Child Sex Rings In TweetTwitter didnt give the actress a pass.
By Mary Papenfuss 03/31/2018 11:00 pm ET
Amid the hoopla over the reboot of Roseanne last week, people were scratching their heads over actress Roseanne Barrs bizarre tweet hailing Donald Trump for freeing hundreds of children a month from their pimps.
The president has broken up trafficking rings in high places everywhere, Barr tweeted Friday.
President Trump has freed so many children held in bondage to pimps all over this world. Hundreds each month. He has broken up trafficking rings in high places everywhere. notice that. I disagree on some things, but give him benefit of doubt-4 now.

Barr, whos no stranger to promoting right-wing conspiracy theories, was apparently referring to a fantasy birthed on the anonymous online message site 4Chan last year. The conspiracy theory claims that Trump is secretly busting satanic child sex rings linked to high-level Democrats. Barr retweeted posts and links backing the untold story that shares similarities with the Pizzagate hoax that Hillary Clinton was running a child sex trafficking ring out of a pizza shop in Washington.

(28,270 posts)Every right wing hater on radio is begging her to come on their shows.
AFAIC, ABC is trying to normalize Info Wars/4chan conspiracy theories and the evil bastards that inhabit those sewers.

is too busy counting $$$ and eyeballs on that right wing freaks new show.
Just like the MSM welcomed Trumps circus of hate during the run up to the elections last year and gave him unprecedented free air time.
All they could see was $$$ and ratings, fuck it if Trump destroys the country!

(6,977 posts)Unfortunately, I have a few friends (Liberals) who told me that they watched her television show because for that one show, they could separate her from her "rhetoric." (That's not rhetoric. It's racist, 4chan, mentally-ill talk) They also justified their watching of the show because they support the storyline and the other liberal actors on the show. Two friends tell me though that the Jackie character was a ranting, liberal, pussy-hat wearing caricature of what a life coach is (Because they know life coaches who don't act like her). These friends tell me they're one and done.
Yeah, I'm not as forgiving as my other friends are who are going to continue watching that filthy, racist, self-hating pig's show.
I never watched her show from decades ago (Knew people who had the unfortunate circumstance of having to be around her, and THEY told me back then that she was bat shit), and I surely won't be watching this re-boot, and I don't care if DJ married a black woman & he has a black daughter or whatever that situation is.
Uh, NOPE.
JUST NOPE.

Or
"Hey maybe it won't suck so much"
Or... reasons
You don't try to understand crazy people, you try to help them, and if that fails... you take away their dangerous toys.
Thinking that Donnie Shit for Brains voters will become enlightened and think critically when they watch it is like trying to teach a goat to sing.
All you do is waste your time and piss off the goat

(28,270 posts)Barr and ABC as well IMO are trying to normalize these sickening right wing conspiracy theories and the liars that make them up.

(6,977 posts)That if a liberal actor/actress pushed a television and had a tRumputin character sleeping with his daughter Ivanka, and push the ruskie/tRumputin/tReason angle (Which the Steele diary bears out to the tune of 90% says Malcolm Nance), that show would NOT see the light of DAY (Even though the Ivunka/tRumputin "relationship" is PAST creepy to be honest. What man compares every young blonde woman he meets with his own SEED. And what father would allow another man to call his daughter "A piece of Ass." ).
Wonder WHY so-called "Liberal Hollywood" wouldn't put a show with what's implied below? 🤔
Checking out the merchandise
What father talks about his own DAUGHTER like this:
"If Ivanka weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her." "My daughter is VERY voluptuous."

(58,724 posts)There has actually been a lot of good work done recently in this area by the FBI - mostly thanks to Obama-era leadership.
One example from last year:
The FBI rescued 84 children from the grips of a multistate human trafficking ring and arrested 120 traffickers on Wednesday, the agency said in a statement.

(90,774 posts)... that broke up those trafficking rings. Whereas Trump is actively destroying everything Barack Obama ever touched, and Trump is also trying to wreck the FBI to save his own skin.

oberliner
(58,724 posts)I mean there has been good work done in breaking up human trafficking rings - which I am sure is something everyone here would support.
I think the problem with her tweet is that she is giving Trump credit for it (which he doesn't deserve) - I don't see the tweet as referencing any of that other weird stuff.
