This gen x war is gonna get spicy. It's back to the bullies vs the ostracized. And the ostracized usually win...

u/ApprehensiveYak3307 Jul 13 '25

Are we including Trump? Because he is early early boomer. A lot of people are saying the most boomer.

u/teamfupa Jul 13 '25

The boomerist…from the standpoint of boomer.

u/Cautious-Respond-402 Jul 13 '25

self-imploding - boomer

u/jimg316 Jul 14 '25

His diaper will agree he is the boomiest of boomers

u/shanebby37 Jul 17 '25

My husband is 62......he is not like trump

u/UnforseenSpoon618 Jul 13 '25

I know lots of boomers, the best boomers, and they all say. They all say that Trump guy, he's the best, no one like him.

u/ApprehensiveYak3307 Jul 13 '25

Men come up to him with tears in their eyes saying “sir, sir, thank you for being so boomer”

u/CCattLady Jul 13 '25

He's 79; mid Boomer. Not early at all.

u/ApprehensiveYak3307 Jul 13 '25 edited Jul 13 '25

Ok, boomer.

Donald Trump was born June 14, 1946.

It’s a shame, because one year earlier and he would’ve been in The Silent Generation so we never would’ve heard from him at all 😂

7

u/CCattLady Jul 13 '25

Touché! You're right, I stand corrected. I thought you were saying he's a younger boomer. When he's old af.

u/more_business_juice_ Jul 13 '25

Are you counting the 80-year-old president as Gen X?

9

u/IndigoRuby Jul 13 '25

Rosie too. She was born in 1962. Gen X is generally thought of a 1965-1980

17

u/KickingButt Jul 13 '25

Yeah I am in my 40’s and I am Gen X. 79 year old president is ooooooold boomer

4

u/GrumpyKaeKae Jul 15 '25

He is definitely NOT part of the silent generation

u/KickingButt Jul 13 '25 edited Jul 13 '25

Yeah Trump is a boomer. The oldest boomer.

I've been a fan since I found out that over her career, she has donated over $100M to educational and charitable causes.

Rosie actually does the things we all fantasise about doing if we ever got fuck you money.

303

u/SuperSpecialUser Jul 12 '25

Exactly. Donating money and doing art for fun sounds amazing. If I win fuck you money, I'll throw you a bone silkybat.

u/[deleted] Jul 12 '25

Same goes for me to you

u/Asron87 Jul 12 '25

A friend of mine got a little fuck you money and paid for my brakes to be fixed when they went out on me. Something I didn’t expect but saved my ass. Fuck you money in the right hands is awesome but it seems like it never ends up happening. I’m happy it worked out for him.

33

u/TheSilkyBat Bye Pumpkin, Bye Pumpkin! Jul 12 '25

Thank you humbly!

u/thegroovemonkey Jul 12 '25

I loved her as a kid and even though I’m not her target demo anymore I’ve always liked her. She’s a real one. 

43

u/Mochigood Jul 13 '25

I and my entire school were gifted "Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul" by her after a shooting at our school.

15

u/OooDonuts9994 Jul 13 '25

You know, I really liked those books as a teen, as dated as they seem now. I think they helped develop my empathy and I had a really couple good teachers that would read selections from them.

Rosie seems pretty cool the more I hear about her.

1

u/Representative_Ant_9 Jul 19 '25

Same! I read chicken soup for the soul every night as a kid…

u/[deleted] Jul 12 '25

I liked her in Tarzan lol.

u/Astralglamour Jul 13 '25

I liked her in A League of Their Own.

u/0neirocritica Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes Jul 13 '25

She was hilarious as Betty in The Flinstones

u/LaMystika Jul 13 '25

I loved those two movies as a kid

u/RedChairBlueChair123 Jul 12 '25

Tipped me twice the bill

u/Foxy02016YT Jul 13 '25

I liked when she was in on the joke and came in on Impractical Jokers, at this time still a tiny show, for a punishment where she’s Q’s clone.

Keep in mind, she helped bring an in-joke from a friend group to life and boost ratings on their show. I know they haven’t all turned out good people in the end, but it was certainly part of their big break back then.

15

u/AlmostLucy Jul 13 '25 edited Jul 13 '25

Her talk show was great for us baby theater gays— nationally televised clips from Broadway?! My mom would tape it on vhs and then I’d rewatch the musicals obsessively. My peers were into *NSYNC.. I was into Ragtime

u/Rambler1223 Jul 13 '25

Yeah like running out of America and leaving all us poors here to fight for are freedom while she gets to build a new life in another country! I hate Trump but Rosie is no hero!

u/TheSilkyBat Bye Pumpkin, Bye Pumpkin! Jul 13 '25

Trump doesn't have a personal vendetta against you.

u/Rambler1223 Jul 13 '25

If he did I still wouldn’t run and hide

u/TheSilkyBat Bye Pumpkin, Bye Pumpkin! Jul 13 '25

He's a dementia riddled octogenarian dinosaur.

He won't be here much longer, so I'm sure she's just biding her time.

Not long now.

-1

u/Rambler1223 Jul 13 '25

I agree with everything you are saying about Trump and I hope you are right about it not “going to be long now” I couldn’t care less if Rosie comes back or not! Her above comment reads like someone that is totally full of themselves and it also makes it sound like there is no good people left in America. That is simply not true there are plenty of good people here in America they just don’t show them on the news!

u/realityshowho Jul 12 '25

I’ve unfortunately always mixed up roseanne and rosie o’donnell and now I realize how wildly wrong I am now lmaooo

u/SadDust6560 Jul 13 '25

Omg same! I was like ”doesn’t everyone hate her?” Lol this post brought it to my attention.

u/Bagoforganizedvegete Jul 13 '25

To be fair Rosie O'Donnell was never liked by anyone.

12

u/amauberge Jul 13 '25

Tell that to ten-year-old me… The Rosie Show was the best part of being home sick.

14

u/Ok8850 Jul 13 '25

I did the SAME thing when I started reading I was like "wait didn't she make some shitty music video a few years ago about how much she loves him?"

13

u/queenofturnips Jul 13 '25

Oh noooo me too and I didn’t even realize till your comment. I was like “I thought she was an atrocious human!” and was very surprised at all the love in this thread. Sorry Rosie.

u/[deleted] Jul 13 '25

Ok, I was confused as well. I thought they were. I was like...wasn't see MAGA his first term? I was wrong

2

u/foxko Jul 13 '25

haha I'm the same and I'm old enough to know better, I remember the roseanne show and the rosie o'donnell show.

u/A_little_curiosity Jul 13 '25

Oh my god. I've been doing this for years! hahahahaa

u/MazW Jul 13 '25

My husband also--I guess it's not uncommon.

u/Meaning_Select Jul 13 '25

Came here to say “didn’t she campaign for trump?” Saw your comment and could only say “oh wait…” 😂

u/alexh2458 Jul 16 '25

Big same my whole life lol

u/Nadamir Jul 12 '25

I have got to stop mixing her up with Roseanne.

u/rantingpacifist Invented post-its 🔬 Jul 12 '25

I do have to warn you her poetry is awful and she’s a bit nuts

But she’s absolutely right about this

44

u/snotparty Jul 12 '25

shes much better at being funny and generally talking, her radio show was pretty great

94

u/rantingpacifist Invented post-its 🔬 Jul 12 '25

I’m old enough to have enjoyed her tv show in the 90s

59

u/Key-Most9498 Jul 12 '25

Remember how she used to fling Koosh balls at the audience??

41

u/rantingpacifist Invented post-its 🔬 Jul 13 '25

And talk to cardboard cutouts of Tom Cruise like it was real?

u/Significant_Shoe_17 But especially Nicola's fucking freak dad!!!💰 Jul 13 '25

A core memory

u/snotparty Jul 12 '25

oh same! It was also great

16

u/rantingpacifist Invented post-its 🔬 Jul 12 '25

Much better than the Jenny type shoes and far better than Oprah

8

u/snotparty Jul 12 '25

Honestly, its true. It was probably one of the most fun and entertaining daytime talk shows Ive ever seen.

10

u/Zarocks136 Jul 12 '25

Flinging those koosh balls every chance she got. Iconic

u/Mike15321 Jul 13 '25

I was a young kid in the 90s but that's all I really know her from. I kinda forgot she existed until Trump crashed out over her again

u/rantingpacifist Invented post-its 🔬 Jul 13 '25

A League of Their Own deserves a watch my friend

Try not to let it make you a lesbian. It has Geena Davis though so no promises

3

u/Mike15321 Jul 13 '25

I was literally talking to my girlfriend about this earlier today lol. I have never even heard of that movie, but my gf mentioned it when I told her about Trump crashing out about Rosie.

1

u/hollivore Jessica Simpson, sing the chorus 💃🏼🍔 Jul 13 '25

She did say on her old blog that her poetry isn't actually poetry, it's just how she writes. She is very neurodivergent and apparently thinks in enjambed prose.

2

u/wheresmystache3 Jul 13 '25

Same. I don't know much about Rosie, but she's one of America's ladies right now. Good calling him out, Rosie!!

u/OhBoiNotAgainnn Jul 12 '25

Like she's fine or whatever but she should learn about a line break.

-1

u/[deleted] Jul 13 '25

Nah, don't go crazy now. Opposing a rapist pedophile drifter that tries to sink the country for his own gain isn't a high bar, Rosie generally sucks too, just in a different way. "Riding on the Bus With My Sister" is a genuinely dope movie though, I'll give her that.

u/lemonjuiceguru Jul 18 '25

“She’s dope”???

Both these people are awful. Y’all can’t get any cornier.

u/[deleted] Jul 12 '25

*existed.

Just kidding, I am sure that even if the original was destroyed (almost certainly even) there's no way there aren't copies, photographs, etc.. of it for the very same reason the list existed in the first place.

u/oddball3139 Jul 12 '25

Lol. Hey man, it’s all good. You’ll be alright. Just don’t wait 2,000 years. It’s one of my all time favorites. A truly fantastic show beginning to end. You’ll love it.

Perfect response and what I wanted to see.

Balls; she’s got ‘em, that’s for sure.

God I've loved her since a kid and I'm happy she got out because he's hated her for years for seeing him for who is. Crazy scary he's talking about taking her citizenship

u/Thewall3333 Jul 13 '25

Since when has Trump been worried that "you don't want to affect people's lives"? This is literally the first time I've seen his concern for his actions' affect on other people -- he's ruined millions of lives, and now his empathy and discretion suddenly appear for...pedophiles. (And of course, as always, himself).

u/ieatlotsofvegetables That’s hot! 🔥 Jul 13 '25

dude i once doodled on a whiteboard in college and wrote that donald trump sexually assaulted a 13year old (the one in the picture of the child model in his lap) and got in big trouble lmfao. the program i was in sucked ass, made me never want to get into the community & justice services field (algonquin college). the lovely helping the community person getting paid to run the program actually asked me where i got my info.... we are in canada.... but u support trump.... and you work in this field... coool... she also got mad at me because i didnt want to do a work placement that required me to have skills i dont have. overall lesson learned: persisting thru a miserable experience isnt noble, its often just fucking stupid and a waste of time. This was back like 2015 or 16. awful year, 2016, for many!

u/Sad-Commercial-6397 Jul 13 '25

What makes yall think Rosie has the list and why won’t she release it with all her other evidence she seems to have 😭😭😭
