He just might if the economy stays together. I'm more worried there are people like you out there willingly, and unquestioningly, sowing the seeds of discontent, just because you are told to do so.
Speak for yourself.
Optimistic that your hate filled analysis is something that lives in a reality outside of your mind.
"Discontent"?
Who is sowing those seeds, Don Quixote?
Not hardly......
She is your type...
You see I've got you figured out, you are a trendy male who barks
but has no bite....You get your thrills late at nite when her type ties
your naked ass up to a post and dons a black leather outfit then
proceeds to whip yur ass with a cat o nine tails....your poor poor
muffled screams never go past the insulated door....
Yep...that's you Rodent..all you.
Remember that ya beta Gato Rodent...

Turns out it was all just a big misunderstanding:
Roseanne Barr has just given a master class on how not to apologize for a massive public flameout.
Appearing on Fox News pundit Sean Hannity's show Thursday, Barr claimed the backlash over a widely condemned racist tweet that led to ABC canceling her show was a huge misunderstanding.
The tweet implied that senior Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett was the offspring of the Muslim Brotherhood and an ape. Barr's defense? She didn't know Jarrett — who was born in Iran to American parents — was an African-American woman.
"You could have knocked me over with a feather when they said she was African-American," Barr told Hannity of the moment when executives from ABC asked her to explain the posting. "I thought she was Middle Eastern."
Which implies she did think it was OK to compare a person from a country in the Middle East to the offspring of an ape — another serious stereotype.
There was no discussion of the other time she called a black Obama official an ape: a 2013 tweet where she said former national security adviser Susan Rice was a man with the genitalia of an ape.
recent video she released on YouTube, saying of Jarrett, "I thought the b**** was white," was a joke.
"I made a mistake," Barr said of the original tweet, after a bit of prodding from Hannity. "And I lost everything."
Hannity devoted his entire, hourlong show Thursday to his talk with Barr. It was hyped as the superstar comic's first TV interview after ABC dropped one of the highest-rated shows of the last TV season within hours of her posting back in May.
But, despite having an hour to make her case, Barr rarely stuck with one topic for long, hopscotching through various topics and defenses. In one part of the interview, the comic insisted she didn't want to hurt anyone or cause anyone pain.
In another moment, she made fun of Jarrett's haircut after delivering a rambling non-apology that mostly seemed to blame Jarrett for being offended by the tweet in the first place.
"I'm so sorry that you thought I was racist and that you thought my tweet was racist, because it wasn't," Barr said, after Hannity asked what she might say to Jarrett if they spoke on the phone or if she was watching his show. Barr looked into the camera and said, "I'm sorry that you feel harmed and hurt. I never meant that and for that I apologize."
Jarrett appeared on the daytime talk show The View on Wednesday and said she wasn't planning on watching Barr's interview.
There was one question Barr wouldn't answer: whether she was paid by ABC when she agreed to step away from her sitcom revival after the cancellation, allowing the show's remaining cast members and crew to develop a show without her called The Conners, debuting this fall.
Barr said she has struggled with mental health issues, adding she had multiple personalities that were integrated a dozen years ago through therapy.
"We could turn this into a really great, teachable moment," Barr told Hannity.
But, in watching a once-great sitcom star fail to really explain the racist outburst that ruined her career, viewers have seen all they need to know.

“I was afraid to go out, and also because when you’re called a racist and you live on an island full of brown people, it’s kind of terrifying,” (Ten percent of Hawaii’s population is “Native Hawaiian,” meaning of Polynesian descent. The majority of Hawaii’s population is Asian and white.)
Barr attributed her falling-out with Hollywood to anti-Semitism: “They lost a good friend; I clearly didn’t. I understand why [the cast] wanted to distance themselves because that’s how the blacklist works, and it’s always Jewish people, excuse me. Sometimes I’ve felt like I’m going to start wearing the yellow star in Hollywood on my arm wherever I go.”
Last week, she posted a puzzling YouTube video featuring a disheveled Barr smoking a cigarette, screaming in attempts to defend her actions.
“I’m trying to talk about Iran! I’m trying to talk about Valerie Jarrett about the Iran deal. That’s what my tweet was about,” Barr screamed.
“I thought the bitch was white!” she said, getting even louder. “Goddamnit, I thought the bitch was white. F—!”
“I recognize she thinks I wronged her,” the star said about her tweet, revealing a frustration with the response to her public apology. “All my friends said ‘Your mistake was to apologize to the left,’ because when they see blood in the water they’re going to come until you’re dead. And I think that’s kind of true.”

Roseanne Barr is now saying she told network executives her dissociative identity disorder began to reappear because of the stress of heavily promoting her Roseanne reboot. “It was scary, Sean. I told ABC that I don’t feel like I’m in a good mentally balanced place,” she explained, per THR. “I became Ambien dependent.” Barr said her Ambien intake became so excessive that she would wake up to discover “eggs cracked on the wall” from attempts at making brownies, and “Triscuits and cheese” scattered around her kitchen that served as sleep-walking snacks. “Ambien does that to people,” Barr concluded. (As for Ambien, the pharmaceutical company behind it said “racism is not a known side effect.” Zoinks!)
