Roseanne now indulging in nutty Michelle Obama conspiracy theories


?s=21

She responded with “Is this true?” and re-tweeted another response to the tweet above speculating about the Obamas and Netflix.

So this will be the defense. Michelle Obama called up Channing Dungey to get Roseanne fired. Never mind the fact this firing wouldn’t have happened without the approval of Bob Iger (who is very Caucasian, last I checked), it’s all Michelle Obama’s fault. And her minion, Channing Dungey. Yeah, that’s the ticket.

The deplorable mind will be studied for centuries, assuming the species survives.

On edit: I’d love for this to be true, but I don’t get the impression someone who has risen to the heights Dungey has needs a lot of coaching in situations like this, even from someone as dazzling as Michelle Obama.

the right wing is desperate to tie some scandal to her. They probably had a meeting to decide which person on the left to scapegoat for this because rosanne barr is such a loss to 18 million who watched her show. And Michelle was the biggest threat to GOP plans because she is 1) African American 2) so popular everywhere. Which undoes the right's biggest wedge issue: race. That is my best guess. Only a guess. But at this point Grover Norqhuest's fax machines serm quaint. The powers that be in the GOP meet to decide which conspiracy theory to create for the base to follow.

They follow their leader's example - pull stuff out of thin air and tweet it.

"Is this true?" No, Roseanne, you fucking idiot. I'd bet money on it.

It would make more sense that Shonda Rhimes, a massive moneymaker for ABC, told some brass at ABC that either Roseanne goes or she does. That I could believe, if she even wanted to get herself involved.

They're just obsessed with putting the Obamas back in a spotlight. Michelle Obama is far too savvy to get embroiled in this kind of thing, even if the subject was Valerie Jarrett. Intervening to try to get someone fired is something their Dotard would do.

Now she's like a weasel trying to bring Michelle Obama into it.. finding the most unflattering pic she could.





And yeah, that's from Cupp..

all you are left with is the lunatic fringe, so you might as well get them good and committed ASAP. They operate on tribalism, us/them, in-group/out-group terms, so lock them into being on your side by any means necessary. Being anti-Obama and anti-Soros (wink-wink) is a good place to start.

Remain relevant and strike back from the consequences of her self inflicted wounds.

That is sort of like sending Tully Bascomb to attack the United States. You can always CLAIM victory. Reality is another matter altogether.
