Okay so that tweet has been sent to me a number of times since yesterday, but I had no fucking idea what she was referring to so I did not know what to post about it.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.— Roseanne Barr (@therealroseanne) March 31, 2018
Well now I know.

The tweet seems to allude to a conspiracy theory known as The Storm, which emerged after Trump quipped at a photo op last October about it being “the calm before the storm.”
Those who believe in the theory allege that cabals of high-ranking Democrats run child sex rings attended by celebrities, which Trump is breaking up.
QAnon refers to a user of internet messaging board 4Chan, who claims to be a White House official with secret knowledge of the investigation into the sex trafficking ring.
“QAnon believers are convinced that the world is run by a nefarious deep state cabal of Democrats, celebrities, and intelligence community figures (many of whom, they claim, are pedophiles),” writes blogger Will Sommer, who monitors right-wing media, on Mediate.
“Trump is about to take them all down, in their telling, often with sealed indictments that are hidden from the public. Hence Barr’s tweets about massive pedophile networks.”
Jesus.....H......Christ!
I mean seriously, what are these people huffing that makes this kind of bullshit seem even remotely plausible?
Now of course the only reason that this crazy lady's tweets are even relevant right now is because ABC has decided to raise a zombiefied version of her old sitcom. And now the newly resurrected program seems hell bent on making Donald Trump palatable to the average American.
Now I will admit that back in the day I watched "Roseanne" and I even liked it at the time.
However in my defense I don't think I realized that she was out of her ever loving mind.
But I have NO intention of watching this reboot, and it is not because I do not have a lot of love for John Goodman, Laurie Metcalfe, and Sara Gilbert, because believe me I do.
But I would not even talk to my own mother if I found out she voted for, or supported, Donald Trump.
And this is not a partisan issue, this is an issue of having respect for somebody even as a fellow human being.
Donald Trump is the most rancid piece of shit to ever run for political office, so it is simply impossible for me to understand how any sentient being could have convinced themselves to cast a vote which allowed him to occupy the most important office in the country, if not in the world.
Some things are unforgivable, and that is one of them.
Even some of the folks at ABC are starting to have second thoughts.
Gee, ya think?In the wake of my Roseanne article I've been contacted by multiple people at ABC who've told me there's a real discomfort among many of the employees with the propagandist nature of the reboot and a feeling that the project is meant to monetize Trump's base.
