["The View": Week of 6/17/2019]

Damn the ladies are so hostile to that lady running for the Democratic nomination. I understand that they like Joe Biden, good lord! Must Megan be so nasty when she is questioning a guest? She just cannot help herself, she is truly vile..

["The View": Week of 6/17/2019]

Whoopie is on fire today and I agree with her about the Dems going after Biden. However, Sunny is right in that Biden needs to be careful with his words. I also think that the Democratic candidates are going after Biden because he is leading them in the polls.

I also loved everything the panel said about reparations. Thankfully Nutmeg said nothing.. Of course, she had to insert her daddy  and herself as kid in the Strom Thurman discussion.

The tension at the table is uncomfortable and palpable.  Megan was making snide remarks at Sunny.

I didn't see the nasty exchange between Joy and MM. But, if MM still regards Lindsey Graham as her uncle, then we can certainly surmise that she is a trumper. Did Uncle Lindsey defend her father against the horrible attacks by trump? Nope, he golfed with him, and now thinks trump is just peachy in spite of all the criticisms  he said during the campaign. MM and Graham are such big hypocrites. 

It has always been obvious that she voted for Trump. She loathes him on a personal level for attacking her dad, but as a Republican she must fall in line. It is probably why she is so angry and nasty about having to defend him so much. She is playing a role and has no core beliefs in my opinion.

If you believe in a political ideology, you should be able to defend it, full stop. You should not get nasty, defensive when asked to defend your beliefs.  Elizabeth was the same way when she was asked to defend hers by Baba Wawa.  They just want to lecture and not be challenged at all. If you challenge them, then you are being a mean intolerant liberal. What did Joy do to merit being called a bitch by Megan on national TV?

I find it rather unrealistic those two are friends but the actresses make it work.

I understand what you mean because of all the things that Kate did to Sami.  Sami for all her flaws never tried to kill Kate. Whereas Kate tried to kill Sami several times.  If Marlena can become Ben's defender despite him trying to kill Will, then, I can live with Marlena and Kate being friends.

A WTF moment for me was Hasselbeck's logic:

1) reverend Wright once said, in a speech or sermon, "god damn America" (in context, it was an impassioned plea to be better)

2) Barack Obama attended that church, considered the Rev his pastor. 

THEREFORE:   Barack Obama listened to Rev Wright, every week, say god damn America, and agreed with him.  

I wished that the panel at the time had told Elizabeth about Isaac Woodard who came back to the states after fighting for his country in WW2. Hours after being honorably discharged while still in uniform was beaten so bad in the south by cops after being wrongfully accused of a crime that he was left blind and that was why Reverend Wright said "god damn America" in his fiery sermon.  Reverend Wright was also a veteran that came back home to racism.

I never understood why Roman named Eric after their uncle. It creeps me out.

He  and Marlena did not know about Eric being a pedophile when they gave their son that name.  Kim never called Eric the baby by her abuser's name, she always called him Ricky.  Eric came to town for Roman's funeral and we got hints that something was wrong with Kim's reaction to her uncle. She seethed when she saw him and Caroline did not understand Kim's reaction at all. Everybody was so loving and affectionate to Eric who was her dad's favorite brother and Kim in response began to pull away from the family. Shane picked up on her discomfort.  Then, Eric was either caught or was accused of molesting a child. Everybody came to his defense, even Shane and Kim told Shane about her abuse.  He was the first person that she actually told about her secret. 

I wish they had changed Eric's name when Rojohn came on the show.  Eric was actually grooming Carrie to be his next victim as well and it led to an emotional confrontation between Kim and her abuser. Kim recognized the signs and went after him, he denied targeting Carrie, abusing Kim and used his old tricks to keep her quiet. It was really ingenious of Sherry to write such a story at the time.

Now I am not an expert on concentration camps, but I think NutMeg is not all that well informed.  Concentration camps doesn't equal extermination camps.  It did under the Nazis.  And it did under other horrible regimes.  But concentration camps, also called work camps, interment camps existed in several countries.  I think they were trying to make that point.

Joy was trying to make that point but Megan was triggered and hysterical by hearing AOC's name.  Gulag is another form of a concentration camp where people are worked to death.. For most people concentration camps are synonymous with the extermination camps of the Jews by the Nazis. I just feel that AOC needs to realize she is the target of the right and she needs to choose her words wisely.

I remember Patsy going through some stuff at that time, thanks for the info.

Watching her confront her Uncle Eric brought back too many memories for me, so I totally related to what she was going through back then.

You welcome! Patsy went through a lot on the show and never once complained about anything.  The one time she did say something, by refusing to play a second stillborn birth while heavily pregnant  for the second time in real life she was punished by the show for not being a team player. Whenever a woman speaks up, it seems to bother the people in charge..

I respectfully disagree. I think he has been great, my only problem is that Will looked too healthy, but that is the makeup department's fault for not making him look bad and sickly..

Megan must be really disappointed that she took the focus of AOC and the very far left. 

While I may not agree with AOC using concentration camps to describe what is going on at the border, she is right to sound the alarm on what is going on. Dehumanizing people has dangerous consequences..

Whoa, I didn't know that....I believe I took a break from Days during this time, wasn't Kim a redhead then, or was Anne Howard playing her at the time?

Kim as one of her alters was very mean to Caroline and she represented the part of Kim that resented her mom for not protecting her.    Patsy was playing Kim in the beginning of the story and there was a recast to finish out the story.. Patsy almost had a nervous breakdown playing the DID story  and the fallout because it brought up memories of her own abuse in real life. Kim never expressed anger or blamed her parents for her abuse in the initial story when she confronted Uncle Eric who never expressed remorse for what he did.

Didn't Michelle do the fist bump to avoid spreading germs? She was coming down with a cold.

I don't remember but it was when the right were gunning for Michelle for saying that she was proud of her country for the first time in her life.  So, they lost their minds over the fist bump and Elizabeth being their shill was whining about it on the show.

["The View": Week of 6/17/2019]

I noticed that Sunny did not go along with the farce today as mandated by the producers, she said that some viewers would be appalled with Megan's language. Sunny is truly over Megan and I find that to be encouraging.  

[WTF moments on the View]

Today's episode was a WTF moment and it reinforced my belief that Megan is not going anywhere.  Megan calling Joy a bitch with Whoopie excusing Megan's atrocious behavior including Joy who threw shade at the Talk. The only person who did not go along with the farce was Sunny who said that type of language has offended some viewers and Megan snidely replied that we were all precious. The irony is that this was coming from the biggest snowflake on TV..

Dammit, soap operas have done crazier things, I JUST WANT KIMBERLY THERE!

*stomps off*

Me too. The Caroline/Kimberly dynamic was always fraught with tension because of Victor and Kim's sexual abuse by her uncle Eric.. You really saw Kim's resentment of her mom come to the surface for not protecting her from being abused during her DID storyline.. Caroline had no way of knowing because Uncle Eric groomed everybody around Kim to keep her isolated for him to abuse her.. Uncle Eric was beloved by the family so who was going to believe Kim, if she dared told anybody.  It is sick how predators operate and maintain control over their victims.

At least they didn't make Joy put Meghan in her lap, like Barbara Walters had to with Elisabeth. Meghan could have killed her!

Plus, Joy knows how to play the game and she alluded to this when she and Rosie were on Any Cohen's show. Rosie tried to coax Joy into spilling the tea on what they both witnessed at the View behind the scenes and Joy would not do it. Joy knows a lot of dirt, but will not go there.

Yes, Joy was just asking a simple question because Meghan was inarticulately using 'them' and 'they' and none of us knew who she was talking about.

How many "my producers" does Meghan have?

I think that they each have 2 producers.

I wish we had somebody on this board who was at the show today to spill the tea after Megan called Joy a bitch.  That Kumbaya BS the ladies were trying to sell today has been there since Baba Wawa was there.

Hmm. Not sure I agree that Joy seemed in on it, she seemed shocked that Meghan was going off as usual, called her a bitch and then started the whole we love each other schtick. Joy looked like she had to agree “yeah sure, we all get along, haha, you bitch, haha” inside, she looked like one that would have to keep the peace and wanted to say “look, meg, you fucking big mouth, fuck you, eh? But she had to go along with yeah, we all act like that. There were a couple shots of Joy before the bitch comment was explained that looked like she was done! It’s all because meg is a child that cannot speak strongly without irritating people everyday. We can’t hear Joy’s opinion anymore, it must come in the form of some kind of daily throwdown with Meg 🙄that’s what I feel the show has devolved to. 

I do think Joy went along to get along but her comments about the talk made me give her a serious side eye.  It was unnecessary and petty.  The talk has it's issues but the ladies do get along for the most part and are respectful of each others' opinions.

I love Joy but sorry, not buying the whole "we get along back stage" thing. It was mostly Meghan insisting they get along and everything is hunky-dory anyway. And she said she loves fighting with Joy. It's uncomfortable for most viewers and I'm tired of seeing it. Also, telling viewers we shouldn't watch if we don't like it? Really? Smh.

Exactly! If I wanted to watch people with different political beliefs yell at each other, I would watch CNN. It is uncomfortable to watch Megan be rude to the ladies over a difference of opinion.  She got so offended because Joy asked her point blank, why are the Trump supporters so enamored of him. That is a legitimate question, she got disrespectful and defensive. She also painted herself as a victim, it is sickening..

["The View": Week of 6/17/2019]

Did you guys know that Megan is the sacrificial Republican on the panel? She is always the victim, what a snowflake!  It is getting harder to watch the show and I am only holding on because of you guys and Joy..

I would have loved to have seen Kim's reaction to Victor at Caroline's funeral, given the turbulent history between Kim, Caroline and Victor.  Victor did say if he cannot have the mother(Caroline), he will have the daughter in reference to Kim.. Ron could have waited to have Patsy back for Caroline's funeral..

It turns out all they need to do to turn me into a snot-covered , ugly-crying mess is put Sami, Lucas and Will in a small room together.

Just wonderful scenes and I cried as well. I know that Lumi love their other children, but, Will has always been their heart.  They both still have immense guilt for failing him when he needed them to put him first..

I'm also enjoying them.

I saw a little bit of Brigitte on Surreal Life many years ago, and all I remembered is that she seemed really outrageous to me. I think Flavor Flav became her boyfriend on that show. She has been lovely on The Talk. She seems to have a great spirit and attitude toward life. I hope I'm just as vibrant when I'm her age. I thought it was interesting she's so tall she wished she were 5'7". I'm 5'7" and always feel a bit too tall for a chick, with my heels on especially. She's an absolutely beautiful woman, but I guess even the prettiest women wish they could change things about themselves.  

I always thought Vanessa Williams was SO beautiful and there's just something likable about her. She comes across as really warm. I'd love for her to be a regular on the show. 

Exactly! I don't know why they rushed to replace Sara with the fake Marie Osmond. They could have been more methodical in auditioning ladies and testing the chemistry with the remaining 4. Carrie Ann could have been the moderator in September when the show comes back for their new season.  They could have announced Sara's replacement in October or early November.

Will is the one sick and he is taking care of his parents.  That’s the way I have always viewed the family dynamics.  

That is why Lumi's dynamic with each other and their boy have always fascinated me.  Will has always been the mature one when it came to his parents. They were so young and filled with so much pain when they had him. Not to mention, Lucas being deprived of Will for 2 years in lieu of his older brother Austin with a vengeful Kate pushing him to best Sami by any means necessary. Unfortunately, Will paid the price for their stupid wars.

Lumi was so awesome with Will and I will never not want them together.  Lucas's reaction to seeing Will had me in tears.  The show is really putting me through it.. Lucas has always felt unworthy of being Will's dad and he carries so much guilt for hurting Will and not giving him a stable and happy childhood.  Sami as well and they both reacted in character to Will's plight. Sami wanted to fix things despite Will's request to not do anything and Lucas cannot deal with reality, so he ran out of the hospital room.

Kate/Lucas were great as well.  Lauren cries so effortlessly as Kate, she had me crying when she told Lucas, she loved Will because he is Lucas' son like a true grandmother would say..

I could care less about Ciara and Tripp vis a vis Claire.  I feel that Claire is getting a raw deal for an insipid serial killer lover Ciara and Tripp who is a hypocrite who tried to kill my beloved Kayla with a scalpel in front of her family. They can both go to hell.
