  1. That’s basically what happened with you know who’s administration, and definitely will be the case if he won again. Alyssa pointed out the differences between his of the cuff remarks and what was written for him. His Hannibal lector remarks have little to do with actual policy or how he would run the country
  2. 98% of black women voted for Biden which is about 6% of the electorate. There is no stronger demographic in the democratic party. That is why Sunny brings up the black female vote. If Kamala was bypassed for someone else, most black women would still vote the dem candidate. But if enough chose not to vote or voted protest votes to reduce the rate to even 80 - 90% that could easily influence the election. Suburban white women can also affect the election as swing voters, but they are not a reliable voting block for either party.
  3. If it was only that easy…. Stagnant wages leave very little left for investing in the market. I think that was the point of the discussion. Everyday workers are not benefiting from the booming economy.
  4. The latest episode definitely felt like a series finale. They moved into the new house, Gigi's health has improved, and Darion got a job and has plans to move out. They ended the episode with a note about the divorce.
  5. The bunk room "winners" was basically the lessor of 3 evils They won because they made functional bunk beds, painted stripes on the walls, and had lighting that could detach from the wall and serve as a flashlight? None of these teams are very good. I don't know who they think will want to buy these homes with substandard tile, drywall and carpentry work.
  6. I understood her comment slightly differently. I don't think she was criticizing those making the suggestion. She was asking if both sides are unhappy with their candidates then why are democrats the only ones talking about replacing their candidate. Why are Democrats the only ones being pressured to do the "right" thing? They've had a similar discussion Sen. Al Franken's resignation after his me too scandal when Republicans with similar/worse scandals didn't get pressure from the republican party to resign. Why do Democrats hold themselves to a higher standard than Republicans?
  7. Many women have their own hair cornrow braided back then the ends of the braids are pinned to the head. Slap on a wig cap and wig... then Voilà! Sunny has a messy bob for a day. I think there's several buckets of undecided voters. There are some as described above. Who don't like either candidate. There are people who don't pay attention to politics at all, but still want to vote on the President who really are uninformed voters. There's those who know who they are going to vote for, but just don't want to say publicly. Then there are those who lean one way or the other, but just like the attention given to undecided voters 🙂
  8. I'm pretty sure it's a wig. She did explain the change in hair. She said she saw Nicole Ari Parker at a party with a similar look. She liked it so much she sent the photo to her hair stylist who made it happen for her today. I took that to mean he obtained and styled a similar wig for her. Many of your favorite celebrities of all races and nationalities wear quality lace front wigs similar to what Sunny is wearing. All of of the ladies except maybe Joy wear extensions at least some of the time. Actually surprised this is the first time Sunny has worn a full wig like this.
  9. When they celebrate Women's History Month, they feature VYD with women. Veteran's Day featured Veteran's owned businesses.... It's rare that any celebrity guest on the View is not shilling something, regardless of the show's topic or celebration. The cynic in me believes that the Sister Act II celebration was shilling for publicity to get Sister Act III made. The interviews all touched on Juneteenth and it's meaning. And yes, a big part of Juneteenth celebrations in many locations include events where Black owned businesses are showcased and products sold.
  10. Pretty much any celebrity who comes on the View (and any other talk show) is selling something, whether it be a book, a TV show, a movie, concert tour etc. Not sure why this episode is considered any different.
  11. Team Karen on the Darian/NYU fight. Darian is not mature enough yet to make this type of decision 100% on her own. She needs some parental guidance. Papi Dericco's position feels like he trying to keep Darian close and hold her back. Reminds me of the situation with Dawson getting accepted into a gifted program, and her parents not letting her participate because the rest of the triplets weren't accepted. They made an excuse the she would miss her siblings too much, but it felt like they were just trying to keep her in their bubble and not shine on her own.
  12. Whoopi is a long time NBA basketball watcher. She's seen plenty of Knicks games in the 90s... Aggressive play (purposely pushing, hard checking, etc) is not unusual in basketball. Male or female. Welcome to pro sports. Anna's perspective was a good one. It looks agressive to her, but she knows she's not a basketball fan or player, so it's hard for her to judge.
  13. It's a small Catholic college in Kansas and some likely did share his beliefs (politically) or at least have been exposed to the Catholic framework of his beliefs. Which is why he felt so comfortable giving that speech. I was a little surprised Sunny was not more outraged. It made me wonder if she fully read or listened to the speech. I most agreed with Alyssa on this discussion. She was on point from the Christian perspective and a bit more succinct than Sara Those in KC area weren't that surprised. He's talked about being a devout Catholic and has expressed conservative beliefs before. The rest of the country generally doesn't care about the thoughts of a kicker 🙂
  14. But yet he didn't volunteer to sit out of either challenge to ensure they all got rice (which she could eat). Not faulting him for doing so. He wanted to protect his spot in the game and play for immunity. But he shouldn't criticize Q for protecting his spot in the game either.
  15. Gen X here 🙂- There is a MAFS Facebook Group where someone with Emily's name has made comments defending herself..... So I assumed that Chloe was referring to Emily...
  16. I think fidelity would be fair concern, but not the only one. Emily's lack of relationship experience played out pretty clearly on TV. By her own admission she's been ghosted a lot. She never actually had to break up with someone. The lessons learned in a break up are also important in developing stronger relationship experience. This was her first breakup. And she acted like some people do during their first breakup (refusing to accept what the other person has said, being overly obsessed and making the other person a villian, lashing out emotionally. The difference is most people are doing this in their mid teens, not 30. After Emily's accident she confused Brennan's general concern for her well being for romantic interest. Even though he was clear he just wanted to be cordial with her. Made me wonder if she has any male friends, as she doesn't seem to know how to be friendly with an Ex or with men in general. Also may be why she accused Brennan on wanting her friend. Because she just doesn't have a healthy concept of male/female platonic interactions. Emily was kissed in a club by a stranger. She did not frame the kiss as being unwelcome, and I didn't get the impression she felt it was an assault. A person with more relationship experience would likely have set some boundaries where a man would have not felt comfortable to kiss her. (Assuming the man wasn't a complete jerk, but based on the stories told by Emily and Becca that did not seem to be the case). .
  17. The issue may have been that she ONLY has had one night stands and no serious relationships. Which may be fine in your early 20s. But by 30, that's a serious red flag when considering a long term relationship. Man or woman.
  18. I seems like toward the end, Lauren was starting to see the toxicity she had involved herself in with the pink posse. She broke ranks to tell Claire and Emily to quit interrupting and let Brennan/Cameron answer the question about the double date. And based on the previews for the where are they now episode, it seems she's completely out the circle. Other interesting tidbit was when Brennan said backstage that he regretted encouraging Emily to be friends with Claire, and that Emily initially didn't like Claire at all.
  19. Loved the experts holding the women accountable. The looks they had when Becca said they didn’t know how to come to the experts with their issues (after agreeing the experts told them to come to them with any issues) were priceless The men at least had the good sense to take some accountability and apologized to the experts for lying to them. Dr. Pia seemed to really appreciate Brendan’s apology, and she was definitely not a Brennan fan during the show. The juxtaposition between those 2 segments was interesting.
  20. I appreciated the ladies pushing back on Alyssa on what specifically Biden could do to lower grocery prices. Disappointed that she had no answer. Sunny tried to throw her a bone with an option, but she kept sputtering non specifics She also needs to find a new grocery store if she's paying $5 for a red onion.
  21. I've not always been a fan of Kevin Frazier at these reunions. But he's doing a pretty good job moderating this mess. I like that he's pretty much blaming the whole group for the optics scheme, and not falling for the woe is me, the evil boys all made us do it narrative the pink posse is trying to spin. I think Lauren is the one woman on the panel who has the best argument about being gas lit and treated poorly by her husband. But she's overshadowed by the rest of the pink posse.
  22. Bernice King was raised by her mother and family who had more insight than anyone else to her father's beliefs and writings. So yes, her perspective is relevant. I do believe the guy's writings are controversial as he seems to dismiss the ongoing implications of racism in this country. Racism does have socio-economic effects.... but there also environmental, physical and mental health, etc effects that focusing on just socio-economic issues would not address. The guy might have some great ideas in his book. But just like so many cherry pick MLK's, I have a dream speech without context, the right may be cherry picking this guy's writing to promote the narrative that Black people are not owed anything. I think that's where Whoopi and Sunny were trying to go with him.
  23. I noticed that too. I thought maybe she was adjusting to her cochlear implant while the show filmed, and now she's more comfortable with the sound of her voice.
  24. What I think Whoopi meant is a saying my elders have often said to me, "Keep on living...". Meaning his perspective may change as he continues live and grow. Colman Hughes seemed to oversimply a very complicated issue. That is not uncommon with younger people. Sunny tried to interview him as if she was the only interviewer there. That just wasn't going to work in this format. But I'm not mad at her line of questioning.
  25. Ana has said that she has type 2 diabetes. I do wonder if the anger/frustration against the wealthy who use this drug for weight loss is misplaced. In reality what the covid pandemic has show is that drug manufacturers can make drugs quickly and in mass quantities. The companies that make these drugs could increase their production if they so chose. But they don't, because they make more money from the rich paying full price for a scarce resource than from selling to insurance companies. I blame them. I'm overweight but not diabetic. And if insurance covered it I'd take the drugs too. Diet and exercise are only part of the battle. Genetics plays in role in obesity as well.
