Bill Maher to Roseanne: Next Season Should Be About the Conners 'Being Screwed' by President Trump
TV Line ^ | April 28, 2018 | Ryan Schwartz

Bill Maher on Friday cut New Rules short to share an open letter to “dear friend” Roseanne Barr.

The seven-minute segment found the Real Time host addressing the success of the Roseanne revival, while also questioning both Barr and her character’s controversial support of President Trump.

“It’s 2018 and we have to talk about Trump,” Maher said. “Like it or not, you’re now the face of the Trump supporter, because you really do speak for a certain kind of American who knows they’re being screwed by someone, they just don’t know who. But here’s what you’re missing about Trump: When he says he’s looking out for the little guy, he’s talking about his [bleep]."

Later, Maher opined that making Roseanne Conner a Republican was the equivalent of making Will Truman a heterosexual in the Will & Grace revival. Then, after pointing out that Roseanne and Dan aren’t able to afford their prescription medications in Season 10 because “Trump sold out to big pharma and sabotaged Obamacare,” he went on to suggest a new storyline for Season 11:

“If in the next six months, you don’t see Trump’s magic starting to work for you… if you’re still trading pills and driving an Uber, wouldn’t the more realistic plot line for Season 2 be your disillusionment with Donald Trump?” he asked. “There’s no shame in it. You saw a miracle product on TV, and you ordered it. You impulse-purchased a Trump. It promised to drain swamps, build walls and make things great again. But you got it home, and it flooded your basement, maxed out your credit card and dropped your phone in the toilet.”

The entire Uber economy only exists because of Maher’s hero Obama. But I don’t see him blaming Obama for that - suddenly that’s all Trumps fault.

Of course Maher conveniently ignores the record low unemployment for his fantasy land.

This is why the guys who push their political satire on FR should just stop it. They can't write anything more bizarre than reality.

That record low unemployment rates have to be stopped by Maher and his Wierdo friends.

People tune into Roseanne to laugh. Maher is trying to drain all the humor out of the show and make it just another Trump bashing, irritating bore-arathon.

No. He’s a charlatan and he knows it, that is how he makes a living.

What we already know about Bill Maher and women tells me he should be avoiding the spotlight.

She called him a “idiot” in one of her more recent books, so apparently that’s no longer the case.

It’ll be about selling unborn babies and turning little boys into little girls - same as this season.

One wonders what planet Maher is from.

Stock market up over 30%.
Over 3 million jobs created.
Unemployment the lowest in over a decade.

Thus, we can draw a certain conclusion...
Maher is a monumental Rectal Orifice!

Roseanne tweets Bill: “Hey Bill, thanks for the free advertising! Anytime. Know what I’m sayin?”

You mean like all the other 99.99999% of what passes for “entertainment” these days, Billy ? That’s why Roseanne’s show is a success, folks are tired of the LIES and leftist propaganda vomitus 24/7.

If he didn’t parrot this crap, would he have a show?

Maybe Maher should form his own production company, hire the writers and actors and directors etc. and produce a show the way he likes.

I have only seen his show for a few seconds at a time. He strikes me as one of the ugliest people on earth. At least who is not deformed or something.

He is apparently even uglier in his mind.

Next season B.M. should make an effort to be a funny comedian.

Bill Maher is a chickenshit coward who throws crap like a monkey in a cage because he knows nobody can get to him.
