Monday was a breath of fresh air without Alyssa. Missed Joy today like the studio audience apparently, but at least Ana was there to keep the show from being off-balance. Agreed with Sunny, Ana, and Whoopi during the Thanksgiving discussion. Loved seeing Chenoweth, I didn't know she had a movie coming out. Is it releasing in theaters? It looked a bit like a Lifetime movie.

And I expect with a therapist who wasn't a much worse person than all their patients. For every great therapist, there's know-it-all monster Dr. Phil types who talk out their ass. I was glad Joy took it to Sara and Alyssa as much as Sunny today, the show is just off-balance with Sara and Alyssa tagteaming one person nonstop. Naturally both Sara and Alyssa try to keep Joy quiet these days, between the age barb Alyssa threw at one point during the interview and Sara complaining about Joy complimenting the show's theme song--glad Joy doesn't give a damn what either of those snakes want. Loved Ana for that comment about how she's a Republican, so she's not going to lecture someone else's party like Alyssa, LOL. I couldn't believe how absurd Alyssa was when she claimed there were good things that came out of Trump's 2017 tax bill. Whew! It was nice seeing Joy and Ana being playful with each other at the end there.

They've also left out points like how Incumbent parties worldwide have been losing. The party in power lost much narrowly here than in most other countries.

True. And that's the purpose of a candidate like Trump being so extreme in his rhetoric; by being that way for such a long period at the level of national politics, you can hopefully pull the center further away. I think Alyssa has given some credible reasons for the loss, but Sunny and the others have as well. I don't think it's an either/or, but both. The reason I don't think Sunny likes to listen to Alyssa is mainly how giddy and excited Alyssa seems about it all. Loved when Joy explained to Alyssa yesterday that she and her family (like many) also grew up poor and not able to afford a car or house, but still didn't turn to hatred as their response. And I was glad Joy mentioned she wasn't a pundit like Alyssa, too, it just goes back to how neither Sara or Alyssa fit this show with one trying to turn it into The Talk and the other into some impersonal, opinionless news broadcast.

I agreed with a few things Smith was saying, but checked out when he said he doesn't think Trump is fringe or extreme....

I'm glad Sunny treated Alyssa with the same disdain today that Alyssa had treated her with yesterday. Laughable she thinks Hillary and Kamala losing versus Biden winning against him has absolutely nothing at all to do with misogyny--what kind of fever dream she must be living in. What an awful, disgusting woman she is. Whoopi's right that he's not going to jail now he will have power over the investigations into him. Well, at least not for the current crimes; I'm sure there will be others by the time 2028 comes around if the government isn't overthrown by then.

I don't think that's an accusation, it's a known fact that she's a conservative fill-in considering they only looked at conservatives for that seat and she worked in a Republican administration whereas nobody else they've had on has only worked in the administrations being discussed. No, the "accusation" is that Alyssa is two-faced, someone who claims to be anti-Trump for the sake of popularity and pull--knowing nobody would rightly listen to her if she was open in her support--who then says everything she possibly can to help his position, from criticizing his opponents incessantly, attempting to censor her co-hosts, working overtime to control the direction of every discussion they have. Actions speak louder than words and she's already shown who she is many times over. As for the rest, I don't think the co-hosts were that shocked or angry. That's just the usual narrative against more liberal media figures in news and entertainment who are hated, been there and heard those lines for a decade now.

I went back and watched, and EBL is incorrect. Alyssa was shaking her head in the first segment when Sunny was finished speaking. Sunny didn't make the comment about uneducated voters until the second segment, so...

Oh, Lord, what a joke to make her "correct" something like that. It couldn't be more clear that Brian and Alyssa tilt the show one way. I think he's worse than Geddie at this point, at least Geddie didn't pretend it was about "misinformation" when he sent Elisabeth out to read his talking points.

I agreed with Sunny as far as of course you always feel some level of surprise despite it all, but you're not really surprised at the same time, particularly if you live in certain parts of the country versus others. Of course Alyssa was shaking her head as Sunny finished--no surprise why Sunny doesn't like the woman. As for Alyssa, I don't care who she claims to have voted for. The biggest determiner of this outcome goes back to Biden's age being talked about ad nauseum in the media a la e-mails coverage and she was one of the biggest proponents of that. People like her knew that it was unlikely a new candidate being switched in last minute could win, she doesn't fool me. The good thing is she won't be able to hide in the background anymore, people will become much more aware of the shilling when she's defending Trump every day for years straight.

Exactly. There was nothing misleading about the shows's coverage considering the clip showed him referring to her being a war hawk at the start. It was simply another example of his violent rhetoric being directed at an "enemy" and the show discussed it as such. There's a very big difference between "misinformation" and something you simply disagree with. Unfortunately, it seems a common tactic to mischaracterize things as "misinformation" to target and silence disagreement the last few years. And I think both Brian and Alyssa practice that tactic on the show regularly, too, imo.

Being an ABC employee again (or on his way) probably calmed the obnoxiousness down, lol.

I was glad Cheney didn't show. Leaving aside her being boring, it was nice to have a full show of just the co-hosts. I'd rather they have less guests, but ABC wants to promote, promote, promote nonstop. Same reason for all the View Your Deals.

Not surprised. There is a real hatred behind antagonizing both the co-hosts on the show as well as its Viewers. Speaks to the state of the country.

Loved the close-up of Whoopi's face in that old clip. I'm glad they took the time to re-play it, so funny.
