Man, I do not want to dwell on Rosie O'Donnell, so I am going to keep this short.
Quietly, news started to leak out this week that Rosie had left America and emigrated to Ireland, where she is applying for citizenship.
"O'Donnell said she doesn't plan on moving back until political and societal conditions change.
'When it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America, that's when we will consider coming back,' said O'Donnell." - ABC News
You know what? Stay in Ireland.
Rosie O'Donnell's net worth, depending on your sourcing, is around $100 million.
Rosie O'Donnell married 2 different women, and had 5 kids, in a country, she claims, doesn't have equal rights. What couldn't she do in America that she wanted to do?
Rosie O'Donnell is part of the 1%, period. Politics be damned. She is part of the Rich Privilege that she rails against.
You say that she left because Donald Trump is her nemesis?
My wife says, ALL THE TIME, adults shouldn't have nemeses.
Let's say you hated Donald Trump, hated him with all your heart. Do you have the resources to just quit your job and jet off to a nice Western European country for a few years? That's something only the rich can do.
I'm not saying she can't go, I'm saying don't come back.
Like many rich celebrities, Rosie hasn't had a "hit" in a long, long time.
The last time I saw O'Donnell on screen and I enjoyed her performance?
1992's A League of Their Own.
Even Rosie's Talk Show, which was beloved my many and won a bucketful of awards, is over 20 years in the rearview mirror.
How did America learn Rosie had left the country? By her TikTok Channel, with over 2.5 million followers. I will say it again, if you're rich and WANTED to disappear, you could. Just unplug your social media.
"Saving Democracy" from her Substack in Ireland.
