The Connors, the Roseanne Barr-less spinoff of Roseanne, has officially been ordered by ABC. But the real story is that 2,300 children have been removed from their parents by the United States government and there is no plan or intention of reuniting them. Also, the First Lady made a trip to South Texas to visit a detention center, but didn’t actually visit a detention center, instead opting to talk to a bunch of teens at a church shelter, the vast majority of whom hadn’t actually been separated from their parents because that’s a hell of a lot easier than having to look at a sobbing toddler. And while traveling to South Texas and back, she wore a jacket that literally screamed “I REALLY DON’T CARE, DO U?” in perhaps the most blatant display of assholedom by someone who isn’t Donald Jennifer Trump yet, but hey, Darlene and Dan are coming back to TV, so let’s all talk about that and pretend we aren’t in a dystopian hellscape right now.
But speaking (tangentially) about Roseanne and the Trumps, what if Tom Arnold really is the only one who can save us?
And you know who retweeted that photo? Michael Cohen. Arnold told NBC News that he met with Cohen for his upcoming show, The Hunt for the Trump Tapes, in which he goes looking for incriminating taped footage of Trump, and here’s the kicker:
Arnold would not say whether Cohen was planning to give him any tapes he might have of conversations with Trump.
But he added, “This dude has all the tapes — this dude has everything.”
“I say to Michael, ‘Guess what? We’re taking Trump down together, and he’s so tired he’s like, ‘OK,’ and his wife is like, ‘OK, f*** Trump,'” Arnold said, laughing.
He admitted tweeting the photo was “indiscreet” but said Cohen had been betrayed by Trump after years of loyal service.
“Michael Cohen showed up and worked diligently above and beyond and sacrificed and Donald Trump is like I don’t even know who he is. You think Michael doesn’t notice that?” Arnold said.

The protesting NFL players tell Trump what he can do with his pardons.
Hey, John Oliver got censored by China for doing a segment about China’s censorship.
RuPaul had his Tyra moment in the Drag Race season 10 reunion.
Vince Gilligan says “a very important character from the Breaking Bad era” is going to be coming to Better Call Saul this season. So, Jesse, right?
Anyway. 2,300 kids.
