I had to chuckle at the end when Joy said they wouldn’t be on Monday for MLK Day. Instead of saying they won’t be on because of the inauguration.

That criticism of Pelosi was a head scratcher and tone def on her part. She is no longer in House leadership. There's no real reason she needs to be there, especially given she has a recently broken hip. I'm also not a fan of Alyssa's current attitude that because he won, the previous stuff he did is basically excused. And the others should let go of their concerns. She didn't stop criticizing Biden policies even though that is what the American people voted for (nor should she have)

I liked that Tom basically told her exactly that in a caring way. He talked about how he's changed and been vulnerable for her, and he wanted her to be more vulnerable towards him. Tom seems like a really good guy. I would like to see Madison slow down her partying ways if she really wants to to show Allen she is trying to make the marriage work. She already acknowledged that drinking brings out a darker side to Allen. Yet she continues to encourage him to socially drink. Seems like a better approach would get to know him while he's at his best. .

I'd guess that Alyssa makes more money on the View than she would working in the Trump administration. Although I do think she is trying to rebuild some bridges to position herself for her post View career working somewhere else in conservative media. Iget where Sunny is coming from. Karen is a relatively new phenomena (past 5-6 years). And while the origins is of the term was white woman, the "trope" has basically morphed into any overly entitled woman who doesn't just mind her business regardless or race. Cashmeoutside girl (both the original and nancy mace) are both angry and white, but it's not Karen behavior

I think the show was hoping for Karla and Juan to be fun and quirky like Bennet and Amelia from the New Orleans season. But Juan is not the guy for that.

I don't think they conflated the argument. H1B visa holders are used partially to fill a need, but mostly because they are cheaper. The visas are also valid for a limited period (I think 3 years). So at the end of the 3 years, the company can just let them go and replace with a new batch of cheap H1B visas holders. The H1B effectively are used in the same way/purpose as those who are here "illegally". They also provide cheap labor for companies who want to maximize profit. It's not necessarily true that Americans don't want these jobs. They are well paying jobs, why wouldn't we? There are some that believe that public education system is purposely kept low performing, and STEM careers are not heavily promoted or encouraged because companies prefer the cheaper labor from foreign workers. So to some the H1B holders are taking jobs that Americans could do if given the training and opportunity. H1B is a temporary work visa. It's only for a limited period. After it expires they will need to pursue a green card or citizenship in some other way if they want to stay in the US. A green card is basically permanent resident status. Meaning they can legally stay and work in the US indefinitely.

I don't fault her for wanting someone more financially stable. Most people prefer a financially stable partner. But I do fault for, for going on this show if financial stability was at the top of her priority list for a partner. And she's made it clear that she values financial stability and lifestyle compatibility over all of other things she said she wanted in a partner. It was telling that she equates David being a provider in terms of financially providing only. And couldn't grasp the concept of other ways a husband could provide for a wife. This show just doesn't attract the type of man she's looking for. Most are middle class guys with stable careers. If anything it tends to attract higher income women.

It may be why she invited her, to show no hard feelings. Kamala knows she blew that question, that's her fault, not Sunny's. It looks like Sunny has worked her way through her stages of grief 😊. It's good to see she has a much more reflective tone about the campaign now.

I'm impressed that in her late 60s, Whoopi can do a Broadway show multiple nights a week AND do this show during the day. I also like how the ladies support each other on their outside creative projects, like Sunny's books and Joy's plays and writings.

I think Camille's sister likely nailed the actual issue. Both Camille and Thomas are black presenting people who live primarily in "white worlds". But they may have taken different things from those experiences. Camille mentioned Thomas and his brother frequent a bar that she feels has had some race related issues. Camille's experiences have led her to stay away from places like that. So she struggles on why Thomas would frequent the establishment. Thomas might separate whatever incident(s) happened there from the bar itself. However, I do think this "culture" issue is somewhat producer manipulated. It seems to be the only thing anyone asks about. So that is what gets aired. On a previous Afterparty someone said Camille and Thomas bicker like an old married couple (impression was in a cute way). I want to see this part of their relationship.

I'd watch a spin off starring Glynn Thurman and Jackee. They are hilarious

The clips they showed of the press secretary were old. They reflected the President's position at that time. She told them over and over because the press asked her over and over. Biden said he changed his mind over Thanksgiving, at and now the press secretary is answering the questions to reflect his current position. Changing your mind based on new information, like the appointment of people to high law enforcement positions who have pledged to get revenge on political adversaries..... is not lying.

She also said something along the lines that Biden has set a bad precedent. I wished someone would of asked how? He's not the first President to pardon a family member. Or the first to make a controversial pardon.... Alyssa going on and on about Biden lying... was annoying. He explained why he changed his mind in his statement. It was pretty clear. Was she lying when she said the President elect was a threat to democracy and the worst thing that could happen? She seems to have changed her mind..... If Alyssa's family member with a past drug problem done the same crimes as Hunter he/she would not have been charged with a crime or threatened with jail time. That's the point she's missing.

I thought it was her sister. And the other guy was her son.

That's what rubs me the wrong way. You can't say he's a threat and unfit, and then in literally the next breath say let's see how things go, maybe he'll be different. She generally has not been a glass half full/hope for the best type like Sarah.... so I'm going to take "typical swamy political animal" for $100.... Ana at least has been consistent all along. She had defended certain republicans and her conservative values, at the same time critiquing the policies of you know who, which she also points out are not conservative.
