Roseanne' star says show will never mention Trump by name

Sarah Gilbert, who plays Darlene on ABC�s �Rosanne,� said in an interview that the

show will never mention President Trump by name, despite the show�s early political

subjects.

�Roseanne� returned after more than twenty years off the air with a host of new and returning

characters. Never a series to shy away from depicting an honest view of middle-class America,

the premiere dug deep into politics and showcased the divide between some of the family members

over the 2016 election. The series revealed that the title character supports the president.

Gilbert told �Watch What Happens Live� that the Conners are not Trump backers, The

Daily News reported. She said the only character who supports the president is Roseanne�s

character.�The show is not about politics. It�s not about anyone�s position or a

policy, it�s really about what happens to a family when there�s a political divide,

which is something that I think the entire country can relate to and something we need

to talk about. So, with our show, it�s never about �doing an issue� or �doing politics,�

it�s �how do these things affect a family unit?��

The updated sitcom starring Roseanne Barr returned last week, more than two decades

after the original ended its hit run. The hour-long debut episode was watched by 10

percent more viewers than saw the May 1997 finale of ABC�s original �Roseanne.�

Yes, Russia is a threat but America needs to play a shrewder game Here's what that means - Duration: 2:49.

Yes, Russia is a threat -- but America needs to play a shrewder game.

Here's what that means

Several weeks ago, former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were found

slumped over a park bench in the English town of Salisbury.

It was determined they were victims of a nerve agent attack, which left both in critical

condition.

That nerve agent is alleged to have been manufactured and possessed illegally by Russia, and the

UK immediately blamed Moscow for the attack.

If Russia were behind the attack, which is highly likely, it is possibly the country�s

most significant intrusion into NATO territory since the radiation poisoning of another former

Russian spy, Alexander Litvinenko, in 2006.

As for potential Russian motives, it is speculated Skripal had been working with the UK�s foreign

intelligence service, MI6.

The UK expelled 23 Russian diplomats and spies, and Russia, which denies the attack to the

point of concocting conspiracy theories about why the chemical weapon originated in America

or the UK, responded in turn by expelling 23 British diplomats and spies.

Meanwhile in America, the Trump administration just sanctioned Russian entities involved

in cyber-attacks and �election interference.� And now, in the face of continued Russian

intransigence over the poisoning of Skripal and his daughter, America is expelling 60

Russian diplomats and spies, and closing Russia�s Seattle consulate.

Senior Trump administration officials said that all of the Russians expelled were spies

working under diplomatic cover, including at the United Nations.

The administration believes there is an �unacceptably high� number of Russian intelligence operatives

in the U.S.

The officials also said that the Seattle consulate was a counter-intelligence concern because

of its proximity to a U.S. Navy base.

This diplomatic row only serves to illustrate the trend of significantly deteriorating relations

between Russia and the West.

Even if Russia is just a spoiler, they are a spoiler with a massive nuclear arsenal.

We must respect the fact that this arsenal poses an existential threat to the United

States.

And a declining power, especially one with as many nukes as Russia has, can be dangerous.

America expelling so-called Russian diplomats is an appropriate response to Russia�s brazen

attack on Skripal and his daughter.

If Russia abuses its privilege of having operatives on our shores�diplomatic or otherwise�it

should face the consequences.

And in general, America should want to reduce the number of spies�even those under diplomatic

cover�that Russia has on American soil.

But some hope that this is only the beginning of a more aggressive stance toward Russia.

The question remains: Where would such an aggressive stance lead, and what would it

accomplish for America?

America should certainly keep a close eye on Russia.

Nominally, Russia�s nuclear arsenal is on par with America�s.

And because of its massive geography, Russia borders many areas�including Europe and

China�where America has troops, or has interests, military or economic.
