"The View": Week of 10/7/2019

[lusinia]

They could have left off the cab (which has no relation to the show anyway) and had room for Ana.  It's kinda disrespectful (so Meghan probably did have something to do with it).

Me.  LOL  Coffee mugs are my thang.  I have the View, Kelly and Ryan, Christmas Rockettes, Hamilton, Aladdin, King Kong.....well, you get the picture.  I love having my coffee in the morning thinking about my NYC adventures.  Hoping to add Colbert to my collection in 2020.  🙂

It's good to have a thang 😃.

Dear Whoopi, the people who left England because of people “pooping on their religion” (I assume you mean the Pilgrims) were not for religious freedom.  They felt persecuted because they objected to ungodly things like celebrating Christmas and wearing colored clothing. They wanted freedom to practice their ultra conservative religion but were not interested in protecting anyone else’s. It wouldn’t hurt you to open a history book either. 

Hey, Meg, how’s that conservative men/family values thing working for your gay friends wrt the Supreme Court case?

Whoopi, it’s not the job of management to figure out who to believe when a crime may have been committed. That is what Suni is trying to say. Management needed to report the alleged crime of rape. It was a criminal matter not an HR issue. 

[2JEWELL]

Funny, Abby and Meghan are now survivors of FOX?  I thought their stance was that they were treated very well at FOX and had no idea about all of this?

Meghan couldn't wait to bring up Obama. 😂

The President doesn't have "ultimate power," Meghan. It's the Congress who levies taxes and military action. Even if he had gone against Congress and handled the Syria situation differently, the Republicans would've lost their shit. And for fuck's sake let Susan Rice answer the question before interrupting her.

I can't wait to see Susan Rice.  Saw her on Trevor and Colbert and she is brilliant.  I'm in awe of the intelligence of the Obama administration.  (I'm  sure other admins were equally intelligent, but I relate to the Obama one)

Quick!!!  Someone stick Meghan in a foxhole with Trey Gowdy!  She said she wouldn't mind!

[TheGreenKnight]

Abby looked pissed Joy didn’t allow her to have the next question in the interview. They already wasted the first segment on But Obama BothSidesism that was easily dismissed when Sunny brought up the fact that the Republican Congress refused him approval to intervene in Syria, so why does she think she should take up whatever time was left over Joy?

And yay for Whoopi’s smackdown of McCain during the Gowdy and Ukraine topic!

Once again for someone who "has been in politics her whole life" Meghan shows her ignorance. I understand why she hasn't been invited on any morning shows lately to be a pundit.

Exactly. Pamela Anderson was as easy as they come and yet McCain managed to screw it up. I'm sure Rand Paul is real afraid of this twit.

[lusinia]

Meghan, Ann Curry has had a show on PBS for the last two years, We'll Meet Again, and Chasing the Cure on TNT/TBS this past summer.  If she expanded her horizons beyond Bravo, maybe she would know this.  

And Meghan, with her incredible intuition, just knew that Matt Lauer being a jerk meant he was also a sexual harasser and rapist. 

Whoopie saying "people are just not sure", and Joy sighs.  Then she says, "So many (accusations) that were not true."  She needs to give examples of those "many".

Meghan conveniently ignored the fact that NBC fired Matt Lauer the day after they found out about the rape because she just wanted to say something critical about them.  Interestingly - 

Quote

She [Nevils] told Farrow that while in Sochi, she and former “Today” co-anchor Meredith Vieira were having drinks at a hotel bar when they ran into Lauer, who joined them.

Quote

The book also reportedly said Nevils went to NBCUniversal human resources with a lawyer at Viera's urging in 2017. Lauer was fired the next day.

Good for Meredith.

Meghan - THESE AREN'T HEARINGS, THEY'RE DEPOSITIONS! (Sorry about that; no matter how long it actually lasts, this is going to be a long impeachment process, isn't it.?)  

Oh, gosh - her elevated opinion of Trey Gowdy.  People were laughing because he was saying, sternly, that documents and information must be turned over, and the rule of law must be followed, which the Trump administration isn't doing. The fact that she doesn't get it shows just how dense she is.  If everybody else is laughing at the clip, and she isn't, shouldn't that make her stop and think?  But no, she just barrels ahead, not even paying attention to what Gowdy was actually saying, blinded by her love for him and sure that she's in the right  And nobody, not even Republican congress members, have said the closed depositions are illegal (they say it's wrong and against the rules (which isn't true).

Her word of the day -"foxhole", which she used twice.

Edited October 9, 2019 by lusinia

[GiveMeSpace]

I think by foxhole she means her mouth. 

[Orillia]

I had to laugh at Abby today

She was clearly trying to make Susan Rice look bad when she pointed out in kind of a snarky way that the president didn't take her advice.

Wow ! Stop the presses ! The president didn't take the advice of one of his advisors. This is historic.

There is one good thing to come from this. Now Meghan and Abby can bond even tighter over their great questioning skills.

Does she not understand impeachment is like a trial?  Do you see prosecuting attorneys and defense attorneys publicize their evidence or defense?

That's funny. Thanks for letting me know.  I was thinking Curt, and looked it up to see if it was spelled with a 'c' or a 'k', and there is one, a sportscaster, but I just looked at the name, and not the occupation, obviously.  (And after looking again, it's actually Trey.)

It’s Trey Gowdy. 

[athousandclowns]

Just how obtuse can Megan be? She doesn’t know why people are laughing? 

Do they not go over the hypocrisy of Trey on Faux and she didn’t hear Whoopi because she was mentally rehearsing her comeback in her head? 

YES YOU ARE DEFENDING TRUMP!

Abby & Meghan kept interrupting Susan while she was in the middle of trying to answer their last question or rant.  They weren't listening to her or following the rules of "conversation" where one person speaks at a time.  I'm glad Whoopi or the producers let Joy finally ask a question.

Edited October 9, 2019 by deirdra

[bannana]

Whoopi should just shut up.  First, she is incoherent.  Second, she is stupid.  Yes, stupid, the word she hates so much.

That entire mess where she was supposedly answering Joy's question (who later said it was rhetorical!) took me back to the days of her defending Bill Cosby.  And then ends with the idiotic statement that perhaps people should not have extramarital affairs, implying that is what leads to rape!  She's just lucky MeAgain was such a mess today, so only one outlet has picked up on her idiocy thus far.

Matt Lauer said it was an extramarital affair so Whoopi sounds like she is saying if Matt hadn't been having an affair with this woman she wouldn't be able to accuse him of rape. Thereby implying she doesn't believe the woman.

If Abby wants a book written about her and Meghan's experiences as women at Fox News during the sexual harassment scandals, shouldn't they be the ones to write it? Didn't Meghan just finish writing an audio book? No need to imply that her story is being neglected. 

[bannana]

As for MeAgain, she had that upper lip snarl and squinty eyes face that she loves to use when she is fileting democrats as she began her attack on Susan Rice re Obama.  When that didn't work, she interrupted Rice to say, answer me this, what about Aleppo?  Rice skillfully shut her down but MeAgain has no ability to actually listen so she had the same thoughts at the end of the interview as she did at the beginning.  What an idiot.

Yelling at the audience was pretty funny too.  And does she really think Trey Gowdy is a great choice to be Trump's lawyer?  Yikes.

Haven't seen the show (yet I continue to comment), but aren't they the precious two who have NEVER been treated shabbily (sexually) by anyone in the workplace because they're such strong women?  The surnames (they keep for "professional purposes") have nothing to do with it, of course.

It was so odd, in a way, how Abby so vehemently stressed, a couple of times, that the women there held the place together, and were heroes, and then Meghan also said twice that that was when she and Abby, already friends, really bonded.  I think Meghan, during her first season, said she didn't experience any harassment while there, but I don't think Abby has said one way or the other, at least on the show. 

[27bored]

Meghan is pretty easily thrown off by bullshit, but she had a point. She just didn’t know how to make it.

First of all, it’s apples and oranges to compare the Benghazi investigation to this impeachment inquiry. For starters, that was an actual investigation in which legally effectuated subpoenas weren’t being honored by the State department. And they were stonewalled for months; Democrats are complaining after like three days.

But more importantly, the House doesn’t have generic Oversight over the executive branch that all they have to do is send a letter and get what they want. It has to be pursuant to an investigation.

Which is the other big thing I think Meghan missed, but maybe Abby was going to say. If they want documents and people to testify, hold a floor vote to open an impeachment inquiry and that way you have a basis to issue a subpoena. Trump gets to tell them to fuck off because they’re doing an end run around the process.

Where Meghan’s point is valid is where she’s saying Democrats can’t call an impeachment inquiry then immediately start doing closed-door hearings while publicly demanding for information Trump not only has no obligation to give, but at this point is right not to. You don’t have to help people make a case against you. Period.
