TIL that nobody here knows the difference between Rosie O'Donnell and Roseanne Barr.

Jesus Christ people

New to Lemmy?

She's not my favorite, but she really got taken for a ride back then. They smeared the hell out of her for speaking out.

Didn't she compare black people to apes, and then claim it wasn't racist, just political?

Edit: Nevermind, that was Roseanne Barr. Rosie O'Donnell is the good Rosie.

"I love gay men. Without them, us fat chicks would have nobody to dance with." -Roseanne Barr

Her descent into right-wingity was really tragic. Roseanne was one of the few series to genuinely show what life for working-class people is really like.

and to think kathy griffins career got cancelled just by showing a faux severed head of trump.

Pretty sure anti vaxxers brought back measles but I’m not against blaming trump for everything

Didn't trump suggest to drink bleach and get a UV light internally somehow? That man is balls deep in antivaxx lore

[–] Nalivai@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

Antivaxers wouldn't do shit if not for the help of all the murderers in charge of the institutions that suppose to prevent outbreaks.

[–] architect@thelemmy.club 8 points 6 days ago

Anti vaxxersv aren’t supposed to run the government or anything for that fucking matter.

We should stop them because their opinion is dog shit and harmful.

i never liked her. rosie o'donnell became the white oprah in the late 90s. she was the antidote to all the trashy daytime talk shows that saturated the airwaves at the time. she was pure and whole some. but there was a darkness underneath her everywoman, standup comedian charm.

she spoke the language of fearful, boring, white suburban moms; these were the type of moms who cut off their children if they were gay or smoked a doobie. she was never really funny or charming unless you spent a lot of time at the applebee's happy hours and giggled when your male co-worker referenced the macarena in a lame joke that was 3 or 4 years out of fashion, but she could fool you.

her rise to fame and fortune is uniquely american in a very bad way. she doesn't deserve celebration, only ridicule. lots of people dislike trump, at least 80% of the internet does.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 5 points 6 days ago

Yeah, she always been disingenuous and obnoxious. Best I can say about her is at least she's not Ellen DeGeneres - she's got a notorious reputation in LA for being a horrible bitch.

These two should’ve duked it out on the lawn for the UFC event. I would’ve watched that.

[–] heartSagan5@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 days ago

Oh, Rosie would’ve won against President Bone Spurs. He’s a standard bully, and he’d crumple like a stack of cards.

[–] cuerdo@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

Did she merge with Bannon?

[–] cenariodantesco@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

I became aware of Rosie in the 2000's from the legendary rap battle video, between Eli Porter and Envy - " yo i'ma let you know who da best by the hour, you're like Rosie O'Donnell in a bisexual bridal shower ". - bars
