Roseanne's agent just dropped her

This is getting good.

It's particularly interesting that this is all happening less than a week after Trump fans cheered when an employer cracked down on their employees' speech. I wonder how they're going to square this circle.

Her former agent is wisely dodging that minefield...

The agent can't receive the commission if there's no income. It's really simple.

Plus, Barr is an ass.

Smart agent.

Want to bet Trump nominates Roseanne for a position in the Administration or a Cabinet post.

Roseanne Barr was dropped by her talent agency, ICM Partners, who said her “disgraceful and unacceptable tweet” was “antithetical to our core values, both as individuals and as an agency. Consequently, we have notified her that we will not represent her.”

ABC is in the business of attracting the broadest customer base possible. No different than the NFL.

among other crazy shit...

"I am really into forensic psychiatry and criminal profiling."

She also said that is ADHD, bipolar, has multiple personalities, etc. but pot cures these psychological issues. Sure, Roseanne, if you say so.

It is not like the right cares about making sense of things.

I suspect it will take their think tanks to come up with some wild takes on all this.
