I'm wondering if they just did a Rich White Girl safari package and drove by Kilimanjaro. 

I never heard of this company, but I bet they did something on that order, rather than actually climbing. Well, we shall see. Re: Sam Stein: I don't mind some joking either, but this went on much too long, and had a bit of a nasty tinge to it. The only time Sam actually laughed was when Willie made the "I was the aging teen sensation too", or something like that. Then, and only then, was Sam amused. 

[House Hunters International - General Discussion]

I just watched the episode with the young couple from Vancouver who were moving to Fiji. I taped this a while back, and I'm wondering if there were any comments about it. I've looked but can't find any references to the episode. Maybe no one commented, or I've missed the posts. Can anyone tell me if there are any posts about this particular show? Thanks!

No kidding, I caught a couple of minutes of him and he looked pissed.  He's one of their better regular guests, they should treat him better.

I thought the whole "funny" bit about Sam was over the top, and actually, quite rude. I also saw that pissed look, more than once. I'm surprised he didn't get up and leave the set! Meeks is getting too giddy, and it's hard to take her comments seriously. Perhaps her idea of "climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro" is taking a helicopter view of the mountain? Those pics will be interesting.

Hypocrite much. 

Joe quotes the beatitudes and bible a lot now. Yet he supports a guy like Sanford? Joe's credibility is equal to his hypocrisy. Nice show today.....could Willie and Katty be auditioning for this program???Just a thought.

FDR was really the first president who had ready access to the general public in real time, and he used it to great effect.  Just calling it a fireside chat made it instantly comforting.

Yes, exactly, and that's my point. In the history of this country, FDR and his fireside chats were a recent "comforting" of the nation. Goodwin had said that even during the aftermath of the 1903 earthquake, the then president didn't go to the city to express empathy to the victims, or see the damage done, as most modern presidents do.Not all. but most.

[Morning Joe: All Episodes Talk]

I know not everyone enjoys seeing Doris Goodman, but she revealed something that I never knew: Presidents weren't always expected to comfort the country when disasters of any kind occurred, it's actually  a more recent function of the POTUS. Yasmin is great as a replacement for Meeks, but I was surprised to learn how young her children were!

Joe put Gillibrand in the ground, right on Meghan well said. , I enjoyed how he did that as well.

I was surprised they showed the pic of Joe and Gillibrand together with her thanking him for his support on some issue. I would like to see that oped  because, according to the panelists, what Gillibrand claimed was absolutely not true, and she neglected to read the whole thing. How, I wonder, was she able to pull out that oped so quickly? Are the candidates given the topics to be discussed prior to the debate? Did anyone else notice this???

[Morning Joe: All Episodes Talk]

I was not happy, either, after the attacks on Biden......and Obama!! Rev Al had a very good observation this morning: The candidates showed desperation on the Obama attacks, and how many Republican commercials were they were setting themselves up for?  I thought Biden held up pretty well even though the attacks came from all sides, and were pretty harsh. Bernie was much calmer when Joe interviewed him this morning compared to his debated performance.

Soapdish is one of my all-time favorite comedy movies.  Here's a clip:

Thanks, Gemma Violet, for posting this clip. I love this movie....great to watch when you're having a "down" day!  I watched The View when Sally was a guest, and I was surprised when neither Whoopi nor Sally mentioned having made this comedy  together.

I am about WHoopi's age, and there are times when I can't think of a word, and I start to panic, is this the beginning of dementia?  No, I just can't find the right word.  

I am older than Whoopi so, yes, I have MANY of those forgetful  moments. That's why I was wondering if she is having neurological problems. I hope not. For those of you who are big fans of Whoopi, I highly recommend renting the movie "Soapdish".  Whoopi and Sally Field are hilarious in this spoof of soap operas. I mean, it's sooooooo funny, and Whoopi is terrific, as is the whole cast. Really, if you need a good laugh, rent this film....especially if you are, or ever have, been a soap opera fan.

I will take her blathering, nonsensical word salady rambling, over Her Twatness. Because Whoopi, at least, isn't a vile, hateful, bigoted, narcissistic ASSHOLE like Her Twatness is. Yes, she's entitled and arrogant.

I agree! Sometimes I've seen Whoopi make a lot of sense during different topic discussions. Today, though, she seemed to be struggling with her words and responses. MM needs to go. There is nothing, I mean nothing, about her that is courteous, intelligent, or willing to listen to another's  point of view. If she's still on in the new season, they should rename the show "Meghan McCain's View" and forget about having any other ladies at the table.

["The View": Week of 7/29/2019]

I caught a small portion of today's show, when they were discussing the missing young lady from Baltimore. Whoopi's whole demeanor and her difficulty trying to find the correct words during the conversation has me wondering....does she have pre-dementia or just sever memory loss?  Either one, this is a shame, for Whoopi was once such a vibrant, talented artist. Or maybe she's so sick and tired of doing The View (she said that in the NY times recently) that she just doesn't care anymore. 

[Small Talk: Cup O' Joe]

Okay, thanks for the quick response!

[Small Talk: Cup O' Joe]

I'm new to this board, so perhaps you "oldtimers" (not referring to you ages!) could answer this question: During the election primaries, candidates interviews, etc. do the Mods allow another thread to be created, even if the subjects are not necessarily on MJ? Like a Pre-election topic board? I wasn't here for the last election.....was there one created until the election was over? Thanks for any info. I hope this is the right place to ask this!

Oh I Know!  How many people around the country knew that?  I had never heard or read that. 

I have seen very little coverage about the Kushner owned slums in Baltimore. Why is this not on the  news shows every single day since the Cummings rant? Funny, isn't it, how stories like this seem to "go away" very quickly? Good for Joy!

At the most it will be a medicare based coverage with private supplemental, or vice versa.

That's also what I think. Too many Americans are happy with their private coverage, especially one that is part of their employee benefits, or retirement package. Well, that tweet was something we all knew (they helped him get elected, he was always on their show). It will be interesting how JoeMika will respond...if they do.

Yasmin can show anger over a situation without being so hysterical about it.  And it comes across as genuine.

Yasmin has that serious demeanor that can show rage with just one look. I'm seeing more of her, and wondering if there's a change coming? Yea, that Mark Meadows is really something. I saw the weeping for the first time on the show today. Poor Cummings, his "friend" betrayed him with that lukewarm response. "With friends like that".....well you all know the rest.

For someone who "rides hard" for her home state and got offended for weeks over Ana and a comedian making the most innocent joke about Arizona..... you would THINK she would practice what she preaches and not disrespect other states. 

New York is the only state that will get you a job remotely related to politics nutmeg. Be gratefull 😂

Gee, how will the fine citizens of NY deal with this huge loss???I'm thinking, once she's gone, they'll have a big parade with confetti.....like they did for the Girls Soccer Team! Someone will carry a gigantic banner saying "Stay the hell out of NY". I sure hope chubby hubby goes with her. 

[Meghan McCain: "Both Sides" Wannabe Tough Chick]

You know, after seeing her dreadful performance on "This Week", and her ridiculous rants on "The View", I  would love to know who is still encouraging her to act like a political expert while she is constantly embarrassing herself? Chubby Hubby? I can't imagine her family wouldn't try to make her see this is not the profession in which she belongs. Okay, money speaks! But she's not worth whatever salary she is being paid. JMHO

Joe mentioned that Baltimore has a good hospital & university called John Hopkins. Mika's daughter went there.

Most, if not all, big cities have poor neighborhoods. That attack on Cummings was ridiculous, but Cummings is fighting back on twitter. Good for him.

• She seemed way  out of place on the panel.  She looked kind of terrified.

I was saw part of the show, mainly to hear what some of the other guests had to say. Watched long enough to agree with the quote...she is not qualified to speak politics with anyone. If you need notes and can't carry on an interesting conversation with your own ideas, then you don't belong on a political discussion panel. Can't the big wigs at ABC understand this??? I didn't see the panel laugh at her, maybe this is what she needs? Why is ABC putting up with her?

You have got to be fucking kidding me.  Wow, so ABC doesn't give an actual shit.  Didn't they also have her homophobic rage tweeting husband on just recently?

ABC news has given up.

I think you're absolutely right. I don't know why they would have her on that show. She is  a political "wannna be". Hasn't anyone from ABC seen her ridiculous behavior on The View?? That's some pretty good photo shopping! Who's responsible for all this publicity about her? And who really cares?? One more thing...what happened to George Stephanopoulos? Doesn't he have any say in who will be on his show?

No he did not, it has been trending on Twitter for a while.

Joe is being credited for coming up with that name on several other shows. So, of course he'll take the honor!! I wish they would stop all the focusing on these various polls. It's much too early in the 2020 election, and things could rapidly change over these months ahead. Election security is something worth focusing, IMHO.

I'm really enjoying her--she is  good interviewer. 

At first I didn't like her....she seemed to lack any personality or warmth. Now, I do enjoy watching her,  and I hope she gets more prime time instead of the early (too early) show she has now. I am so sad about the nasty remarks being made about Mueller. He's a hero. He suffered injuries during Vietnam and has led an honorable life. Joyce and Chuck...I always find their interviews enjoyable, and educational, to watch.
