["The View": Week Of 7/09/2018]

I didn't watch the show today, but from these posts, I'm glad I missed it. I still can't figure out why/how MM can defend anything related to trump's policies(?), after the brutal attacks on her dying father. She's a phony, and I don't believe for a moment she'd pass up an opportunity for a job in his administration.

I wonder, given the fact that LOD appeared on MJ  to.....wait....here it comes......promote his book.....if Rachel Maddow would do the same if she decides to write a book! I guess Joe will have a "previous engagement" if she does appear....she has been known to outwit him!!! 

[Morning Joe: All Episodes Talk]

I guess I might be in the minority here, but I like listening to Meacham! His antidotes about current and past American history are sometimes quite surprising...stuff you wouldn't necessarily learn in a History class, IMHO. Yes. I do agree that a lot of MJ  guests are there  to promote their new books. A few have actually made the Best Sellers List, like Meacham's.

There’s actual news being made in Brussels, but Joe is treating us to a monologue of how only he has divined the true nature of conservatism since his days in Congress. ( He was a Congressman, did you know that?)   Joe is in true bloviator mode today, just when a smart discussion on alliances is needed. Meacham tries, but they mock his knowledge. It’s sad. 

I agree May Flowers.  To be honest, I bailed after the first half hour as there are better discussions to be had but did flip back in time to hear him wax poetic how he had the highest approval ratings of any republican because of his stand on Medicare . . . in 1998.  Hmmmm, who else displays that behavior?

The look on Meacham's face was just priceless.  I enjoy him so much as he has so much knowledge and is interesting to listen to.   I wish he was on another channel.

I also switched channels.....just got tired of the egotistical Joe treating us to his remarkable congressional success. Jon Meacham is clearly very well versed in US and world history. Was Angela Merkel  at that breakfast? If so, why didn't she defend herself against the bully? John Kelly looked as if he were preparing for torture. Putin must be celebrating as he watches his buddy tear apart NATO.

Off topic but I heard the head of FIFA said if cave kids are well enough FIFA will pay for them all to go to the World Cup Final. I hope they can go!

ps. Scoop should have heard this and reported it. It’s a perfect story for the them: soccer plus news! Joe would have loved it! Guys like girls that like sports! Think, Mika Think!

Oh, that's great. That makes 2 good news stories today......we're on a roll!!!

Whenever I hear Whoopie call MM "Baby" (which she seems to do a lot lately), I keep thinking about Dirty Dancing..."Nobody puts Baby in a corner!". Except, in that movie "Baby" was a young teenager, not a thirty-something know it all. Enough, Whoops....she's ain't no "Baby"!

["The View": Week Of 7/09/2018]

Oh no, another opportunity for Dershowitz to solicit sympathy for his unsocial life. He's been making the TV rounds lately, but I don't think many people are interested in his "boo- hoo, feel sorry for me " act. Too many real problems in this world, who has the time to worry about an unpopular lawyer???

I wish.  Every time I see him all I think of is this:

 

Oakville, that's great news about your health, keep up the good work. OMG, that really does look like look  Guiliani, especially when he contorts his face while lying obsessively. Gee, I used to like KCDC, but lately I'm not a fan. Why would you give Deshowitz another opportunity to act like a silly kid regarding his unsocial life???? I could hear Joe yelling in another room from where our TV is located....what got him so fire up? The Korean "belly-up" deal....the upcoming meeting with Putin...that obscene Montana rally...there's so much to be disgusted about.

I had to chuckle at the irony of Joe lambasting the Fox News personalities who defended Bush and are now defending Trump, squawking, “It’s on tape! It’s all on tape!” As if we also don’t have his Trump suck-uppery on tape as well.

That reference to baby-snatchers got to me.  I'm surprised no one has taken a tape of children and babies crying and played it at one of Trump's rallies. 

 

It seemed like no matter how many channels I switched to this morning, there was that horrible Montana rally. I saw many kids obviously taken there by their LOTUS supporters. So, are we witnessing a whole generation of bullies, liars, and law breakers being cultivated by witnessing the biggest liar of them all??? What on Earth is wrong with those jerks who stand there cheering while men and women of true courage are being made the butt of nasty, insulting jokes? When John McCain and GHW Bush finally do pass, will there be a "thoughts and prayers" coming from the WH? If I were the McCain and Bush families, I'd tell him where to put those phony "thought and prayers" really quickly. Okay, sorry for the long rant, but I'm so ashamed and disgusted by what's happening in this country. Have a nice day(sarcasm, of course)!

[Morning Joe: All Episodes Talk]

I saw a brief interview with "Jockstrap" Jordan yesterday...well it was just a reporter asking him to respond to the allegations against him.  He was surprisingly more subdued than I have ever seen him. Not too much about it today....is someone trying to make this story just "go away"? Didn't see MJ today.....didn't they even mention it? Dershowitz is acting like a kid who didn't get invited to the prom or big party....oh grow up and look around you, many people are suffering unbearably, and you're upset about your stupid social life???? No sympathy here.

[Morning Joe: All Episodes Talk]

Happy 4th and Canada Day to everyone. WOW, that Jim Jordan story is really getting ugly. Of course he denies knowing anything, and soon his GOP buddies will defend him and call this another Liberal witch hunt. Personally, I'd like to see the offensive, rude and nasty jerk get burned if this story turns out to be true. Right now, it looks very credible. 

["The View": Week Of 6/25/2018]

I thought the pitiful amount of time they used for Jon Meacham's interview was awful. He is very intelligent and could have given everyone a mini US history course if time allowed. And why was MM given the opportunity to introduce him? They should have had all the ladies at the table. Why were Whoopie and Sara not there? I only his opinion of LOTUS being re-elected in 2020 is WRONG!

[Morning Joe: All Episodes Talk]

I have mixed feelings about Steve and Nicolle. I do believe they are very intelligent and articulate speakers. When they talk...I listen! However, how in the world did these two ever go along with the selection of Palin for VP??? How could they not realize what a mistake they were making? I agree that perhaps a "Mea Culpa" is behind their strong dislike of LOTUS and their criticisms of his administration. Didn't Steve recently announce he is leaving the GOP? Will Nicolle also leave??

["The View": Week Of 6/18/2018]

Jon Meacham should prove to be an interesting, well informed guest on Tues. My guess is MM will be so unable to keep up with his intellect and knowledge of world history, including the US., that she will make a fool of herself. Either that, or she will be wearing some kind of device that her husband will be secretly telling her what to say. I think the stack of blue cards she'll need might just hide her face!!! This show should be quite interesting.

Get up. Walk out to limo. Fall back asleep. Driver wakes me up,  go to dressing room. take shower. hair & make up staff do their best to make my 50 year old face look 35. producer hands me notes. Spend 2 hours of 3 hour job making faces and scribbling. 10 minutes slapping Joe's hand away. 5 minutes washing off cooties (men are gross). 30 minutes on phone to Tiffany's to see if they'll buy this ring back if we break up. (Craig's List?  eBay?)  Show ends. Give Stephanie Ruhle dirty look. Email Kasie Hunt, remind her to watch her step if she wants to keep that Sunday show. Tell Joe too busy to see him tonight.  Back in Limo.   Stop at Duane Reed get Xanax refilled.  Home.  Think up new reasons to fight with Joe so I don't have to see him. 

It's exhausting ladies but so worth it, knowing I make a difference in your lives. 

 

Okay, this post was sooooooo funny! Some of it may well be true.....or close to it. Maybe off screen they have some chemistry between them, but I sure don't see it on the show. Could they simply be getting tired of each other? Or perhaps the excitement of their secret affair has worn off? Something seems "off" about them when their together.

Thank you, Backformore. Those photos were shocking, heartbreaking, and so disturbing. It's such a tragedy that no one seems to care at all about the fate of these now grown orphans. Your nephews are so fortunate to have been spared this living hell as depicted in the photos.  And your whole family is to be commended on having so much love and compassion for these young men.

I still remember that Diane Sawyer story, where she exposed those awful orphanages in Romania. That was also an unintended consequence, of the government going too far, when they required every woman to have 5 children each... Babies and children need love as they are developing, it is essential to their health.

Oh my, I haven't thought about those poor Romanian orphans in years. I wonder what happened to them...was there ever a follow up report on their fate? And now we have a similar situation in our very own country. So sickening and tragic at the same time.

I enjoy an interesting, spirited conversation between people, especially those who have different viewpoints. When MM keeps reading from those blue cards, I think it's clear that she is incapable of talking about any subject without those annoying cards! Ana never uses blue cards, at least I have never seen her do that. If those cards should ever be lost or misplaced before air time...yikes...MM would go bonkers!!!!

like those horrible pastors we saw on MJ this morning who just flatly refused to even believe the reports are real. But most normal people will (I hope) come to just accept that this heartlessness is part and parcel of the Trump presidency and vote accordingly come November.

 

I saw those "Men of God" interviews, and all I could think of was they are going to share their heartless and pro-trump opinions from the pulpit. Their "Christian Followers" will no doubt agree with them. Men of God, Christian Followers???? Jesus would be shocked and saddened, IMHO.

The reporter from Playboy, and Jim Acosta, got into it with her.    The Playboy guy was really pissed and said "you have children!! Do you have no empathy for these people?!?!"   She insulted Acosta, as usual with, "I know you don't understand big words" or something like that.

That's good to know! Honestly I can never stand to watch a Press Conference from start to finish. I find myself yelling at the reporters to respect themselves and not let Huckabee get away with her B.S. These last 2 days have really upset me. So LOTUS wants "his people" to act like the North Koreans? Get the gulags ready if he isn't stopped soon. Oh, and somebody please tell Congress their days would be numbered if wannbe dictator gets his way. Maybe then they'll wake up and stop this nightmare???? No, probably not. They're scared to death of those holy Evangelicals.

[Morning Joe: All Episodes Talk]

Why, oh why, don't members of the Press Corp push back when that rude, clueless, can only read from a card, Huckabee, treats them so badly. She remarked to one reported something to the effect that he could only understand short sentences, or something similar. She is condescending and such a sourpuss.  Her phony "Christian" minister dad is the only reason she got the job. I loathe her. Just once would I like to see a reporter say to her, " You can't speak to me like that and we all know how much you lie". Is that asking too much??? I guess the "Separation of Church and State" concept is quickly losing out to the "Let's quote the bible" ....Sessions' interpretation of the law. And what the hell is wrong with the FBE (fat bald eagle) Guiliani? It's dangerous to use the word "assassinate"  when there are so many gun loving republican loonies who would possible try to injure James Comey. He's dangerous throwing around ideas like that, and he should be stopped. Oh, I know, "freedom of speech", but saying Trump could assassinate Comey and get away with it is instigating violence against another person, isn't it??

Has MM ever mentioned her sister, other than to say she has one who was adopted? How old is her sibling? It doesn't appear that they are as close as most sisters are. But, who knows? Maybe her sister prefers not to be in the public spotlight, and keeps a low profile? Unlike her older nasty sister!

Thank goodness it was a joke about Kim for POTUS! They pretty much decimated the Wolf population years ago in Yellowstone National Park. The whole ecosystem was disrupted, and the Park was nearly ruined. Bringing back the Wolves restored the park, although it took a long time. Doesn't anyone in this administration do some research before they act???? I love Wolves, not that I'd like to come face to face with one! But they are remarkable animals, and our beloved dogs are descended from them.

Yikes! Baby Daddy cards!!! I swear the card companies will design any type of card they can think of to make more profits. So, what kind of greetings and sentiments do these cards contain? I suppose next is Baby Mama cards......or did I miss them?? 

["The View": Week Of 6/11/2018]

I missed the show today, so who in the world brought up the idea of Kim Kardasihan as president???? Did they mean president of the Kanye West fan club? Surely they didn't mean POTUS? Please, tell me who, and how this ridiculous concept was started?!
