Reminder: the ladies discussing politicians or the actions of political bodies on an episode of The View is NOT a license for you to post your own opinions on the matter. You can talk about THEIR opinions on it, but only in the context of what they said on the show. Review the political policy - the first bullet point applies specifically to this situation.

Guys. STOP commenting on other people's opinions of Bethenny. No more sentences containing "Bethenny haters" or "Bethenny Lovers" or "I know everyone loves/hates Bethenny" or "Since so many people love/hate Bethenny" or "I don't know why everyone loves/hates Bethenny". It's not that hard to not say those things. Comment on Bethenny herself, not on her fans or detractors. Same goes for all the other housewives. Comment on the show, not your fellow posters or Real Housewives fans.

2 notes here folks: 1. Let's take any further in-depth discussion of Meghan Markle and other Royals to the thread dedicated to them. 2. This show does get into politics, and we allow discussion of things as they directly relate to show content, but we've gotten too far afield. Please keep any discussion of any political people or entities strictly related to how they were discussed on the show. Everyone who posts here needs to review the Politics Policy, please.

Folks, I think we've all weighed in now on Joy and Austin's decision to share their tough situation online, and whether or not we would do the same. We do not need to agree, or convince anyone of our point of view, so let's move on. And remember, sharing personal stories is best done in Small Talk.

Folks, we've had a repeated problem lately where we're using the Duggars as a starting point and then going way, way off-topic where we're not talking about them at all, but instead our own lives or customs or whatever. People come to these threads to read about the Duggars and our reaction to them. So we'd like to keep these threads to the relevant. Good rules of thumb: If your post does not mention the appropriate Duggars at all, it's off-topic and belongs in Small Talk. If your post mentions the Duggars only BARELY, and is mostly about your own personal experiences, those of your family or friends, or discussion of generalized customs or topics, it's off-topic and belongs in Small Talk. Going forward, all off-topic posts will simply be removed, not moved to Small Talk. And if people are repeatedly pulling the threads off-topic, they may receive warnings or timeouts.

Folks, this thread is about JD and Abbie, not vaccines and what nurses can and cannot do. Please stick to the Duggars!

Addendum, please read. We have clarified our political rules here at Primetimer and we wanted to post a specific note about the View, given that we have host-specific topics here and a lot of political content on the show. Any discussion of political figures, political parties or political entities (Congress, Parliament, etc) is considered off-topic and not allowed on Primetimer UNLESS it is specifically mentioned as part of the show's episodes, and then only in the context of the show itself. So if they talk about a political figure on the View, you can talk about the way they discussed it, but cannot use that as a jumping off point to talk about your own opinions on that person. Additionally, host posts on social media about political figures and parties, etc, are out of bounds for discussion or reposting here. You CAN talk about the hosts' social media generally in their topics as before, just not their posts on political topics as defined above. Please read the Political Rules in full and follow them here and in other parts of Primetimer!

Please review the political rules for Primetimer - discussion of politicians, political entities and parties is only allowed if it's mentioned on the show itself - social media posts by hosts and participants are not Show Content, so they are not allowed to be discussed or posted here if they mention these political entities.

Folks, a couple of things here: 1. If you want to talk generally about Meghan, take it to her thread, please, and focus on show events in this thread. This thread is for what's up on the show this week, any general discussion of hosts belongs in their own threads. 2. Remember that John McCain and the rest of the McCain family are considered off-topic unless they're mentioned on the show.

All - please remember that though we allow discussion of political figures and politics as long as it relates to show content, you do need to keep discussion to what was actually talked about on the View, and not use their discussion as a jumping off point to talk more widely about those politicians, other politicians, other elections, etc. Please stick closely to what was discussed on the actual episode of the View.

Folks, reminders on 2 subjects: 1, it is not cool to lump "Bethenny Lovers" or "Bethenny Haters" into a group here and criticize them - everyone is allowed to love or hate Bethenny, or any other housewife or cast member, as much as they like. Talk about the show, not the fans. 2, please stick to events on the episode itself. If you want to talk about a housewife's interactions with other people who were not mentioned on or seen on the show, please move it to their own threads.

Yeah, it turns out the site admin poofed all of the M vaults during the site transition.

Let's get back to the show, and leave Scaramucci behind now, please!
