I wonder what Dr Oz’s costume will be. 

[TheView]

Meghan should dress as Jessica Rabbit 

[TheGreenKnight]

I wish Jordin was giving a performance, ideally of "She Used to Be Mine," but it looks like she's just a guest.

I still remember below and wonder if she'll try and match it this year....

She can put the elephant on the Jessica dress.

That Jolly Green Giant pantsuit is not Nutty's friend.  At least, not the pants.

Dear Abby, pick up a newspaper. You may learn a thing or two. 

[JayD83]

Oh wow.  So, now according to Me-again, the ONLY people at Game 5 of the World Series were the "swamp of the swamp" and lobbyists? Hmm.  That's news to me.

She's an idiot. No way around it.

[Axie]

Abby is becoming down right apoplectic.  Calm down, Missy!

[JayD83]

Abby is looking like a fool because Meghan is really agreeing with everybody else not named Abby.  It's funny to watch her facial expressions when Meghan starts to agree with her, then pivots.  Lol.

She looked shocked that Meg wasn’t agreeing with her. 

[Axie]

Meghan, I know you think you’re more patriotic than anyone in history because you wear American flag clothing, but, my dog sometimes wears an American flag bandanna.  I took the liberty of asking him if he thought he was the most patriotic dog in the country and he looked at me, went through his dog door, and, peed on a bush, so, I think the jury’s still out on what makes one patriotic.

[OnTime]

Oh Abby!

She likes to talk just to hear herself....

Too bad she doesn’t just talk to herself and leave the rest of us out of it.

[TheGreenKnight]

I’m glad Sunny and Joy didn’t go along to get along during the opening segment, because it seemed like them versus the other three. I LOLed when Abby shamed the baseball crowd for “going low.” Abby “goes low” on this show every day, and she and her BFF are the first to politicize any and all topics. Nobody’s going to be shamed into agreeing with somebody like her who's already proved they don't have any shame.

[itstheworm]

Abby is fishing for the kind of attention Meghan gets in the press. Even if it's negative, I think Abby wants some of that. She's ready to kick it up a notch and get her name out there a little more.

It must be all those bullying phone calls from Kellyanne. 😄

[lusinia]

Abby - Sunny's right -Trump did thank Russia first.  On tv.  Sunny didn't have to be in the situation room when information was coming in.  Plus, Trump spent 45 minutes telling us detail by detail what happened (and probably made some of it up) - 

Quote

And the reason that more people aren't celebrating - 

Quote

I think there might be a growing rift between Meghan and Abby (after pretty much saying last Friday that she was weak).   (But who thanks "the flag" (except Meghan, of course))

Saying that 41,000+ lobbyists and people in D.C. who could afford to go to the 5th game of the World Series were there - so what?  Meghan is trying to make it sound like but for the fact that the game was in D.C., Trump wouldn't have been booed, and that those who booed don't count.

Meghan thinks Katie Hill should have resigned weeks ago?  The story just broke a few days ago!

btw - I already have a Gleener fabric shaver offered on View Your Deal, and highly recommend it.  I've only needed to use it once - it saved a new pair of heavier knit pants that I forgot were "wash separately".   They ended up covered in pills, and this took them off.  It comes with 3 different edges for different gauges of fabric, and that did make a difference - only one worked with the material I was shaving.

[CynicalGirl]

Or, just SHUT THE HELL UP, Abby!

[Vanderboom]

Abby reminds me of the line from Avengers: Age of Ultron about how useless it is to confuse peace with quiet.  In Abby's mind, being "nice" or "respectful" means never making anyone feel bad about anything they've done, even if its justified.  This is why Abby believes she's being a badass by tepidly disagreeing with the Trump Administration about our withdrawal from Syria.   Abby has every right to think the Nationals fans are jerks, but they also have every right, as Meghan said, to peacefully protest the President.  People like Abby always use Niceness to suppress the voices of people who call out the powerful.  Consider Abby's continued whining about Reporters Who Make Themselves Part of the Story or People Who Make Such A Big Deal of Things: you don't have to be a Nice Person to be right.

[Badbea99]

I agree that there may be some competition between the daughters for attention from the media.  Abby is becoming much more vocal and assertive and that's not going to go over well with the chosen conservative at the table.  It will be interesting to watch the dynamic between the two of them if Abby doesn't fall back in line as the emotional support pet to the chosen one.

[blondiec0332]

Abby had a sour look on her face most of the show. She does not like her co hosts pushing back.  And she was awfully huffy about people criticizing Trump today because I guess she thinks he should get a reprieve today because the military did something. As I have said frequently since the beginning of this season Abby is becoming very unlikable.

Whoopi's "bitch, please" reaction to that was the first time I've liked something she's said in weeks.

[merriebreeze]

I'll bet there's not a well-attended sports venue Trump could go to and not be booed (with the possible exceptions of a Nascar race or women's mud wrestling). He's delusional to think his Rambo by proxy move was going to win the crowd over.

I don't know if Abby was ever "likeable" but she was basically harmless.  Now it seems she is trying too hard to be heard and she is just sounding more and more stupid.

Yes. The first season Abby seemed to not want to offend anyone.  She made it a point to always say she wasn't a lock step Republican. But this season she is defending and agreeing with things even Meghan is speaking out against. And going to back to what she said last week about the White House calling her.  I don't believe anyone is calling her. But I do think she is calling them looking to do another interview with someone. As mentioned by previous posters she gets very little attention by the media. I think she wants to broaden her horizons beyond the View. Although where she would go is anyone's guess.

There is a reason the President only appears in public in very curated audiences .   I'm pretty sure he'd would have been booed had he gone to a game in Houston as well.  

I also thought it interesting that she tried to dismiss the baseball fans like that.   Lobbyists come in all political persuasions.   And as much as MM likes to lecture us to listen to the minority of voters that are hard core Trumpers, her being dismissive of what she is insinuating are outside of the mainstream liberals, make 0 sense.

Even when Abby loses her shit, it MeAgain that gets the coverage!

Gee it would have been nice to explain to Sunny ( and the public) that yes you do now have to pay for Disney movies and National geographic Wild channels on top of your cable provider because Disney is greedy.   My son was trying to explain what he was going to do in order to get them the cheapest way ( by dropping something else) but since I don’t miss Disney only NG , my mind wandered.

  I understood that neither amazon or Netflix were going to be able to have new Disney movies after this went into effect.  Those thing$ don’t really affect the panel but it does an average family. 

Hope this isn’t OT but if they continue to have commercials for it might tell how much it costs. 

I loved Joy saying “put a nickel in it” and MM was bewildered so she clarified

 “like a juke box”. 

My cable provider dropped the channel that Sunny’s show is on and I’m not willing to pay, I’d like to see it though. 

Megan was struggling with that blazer trying to get it closed. 

[bannana]

I am surprised Joy's joke at the beginning didn't get more coverage.  Whoopi asked whether they could agree that the world is a better place without this guy in it, and Joy replied, which one, Trump?  I figured MeAgain would flip out about joking about that.  It did get picked up by Fox.

I almost forgot, the View mugs are back, they were back already last week.  But today Whoopi was using a completely different mug.

Maybe Whoopi doesn't have the clout we thought she did.  I think the mug is insulting.  Whoopi must feel it's insulting/degrading.  She's the doorman, helping Abby out of a cab?  Maybe they're told to use them until they can make a correction.  It's possible they were asked for their input and Whoopi didn't give a shit.

"That is a cheap attack line, Sunny," Huntsman then shot at her cohost. "I think it's the truth," Sunny responded, "That's what happened in real time, it's not an attack line."

"Were you in the situation room?" Abby asked. "Was he in the situation room?" Sunny responded.

Your first line, Abby, RUDE!  Your second line, Abby, probably wrong.

Your third line, Abby, RUDE!   I hope your snotty comments to a coworker are covered on all the little TV tabloid shows.   Powers that BE (the generals) didn't know there was any audio coverage and so our President probably did not hear anyone "crying and whimpering."  

Now we see that you do/did have what it takes to get along in a large vociferous family.  Your true colors are bleeding out.  Sweet, sincere, quiet Abby?  No!  RUDE!

Yes, Whoopi talked about something being available, and when Sunny asked about the particulars, it was, I don't know! figure it out!   NO, if you want people to watch something, if you're basically doing a commercial for a show, give some information about the availability.  A lot of families are going to be deciding to go with Disney OR Netflix OR Amazon, not all three.

Sunny went cheap, I agree with Abby. I like this Abby, and I see plenty of people supporting Trump about this scum being killed  . I can see why he thanked Russia..mybe it shouldn't of been first, but a lot goes into all of this. 

We know you don't trust him Joy, but good lord woman, blah blah blah, she is getting so one trick pony. I muted her today. 

I loved the colour on Meghan, what was Sunny wearing?

The clip they showed with people yelling lock him up,  they are okay with that I guess. SMH. ..LOL this show

Whoopi was signing books..that cr@ppy book? 

Actually from what was said by the military, his stupidity and rashness I’m the Kurdish situation almost ruined this operation (which had been planned for awhile) and made it more difficult.  So I don’t know that he deserves any kudos for this...it was the military whose success we should praise.  And according to him the president doesn’t deserve the praise for an action like this...at least that’s what he said when bin laden was killed.  And I believe that time the president didn’t try to take the credit and essentially praise himself.  So I understand joys reluctance.  

[HaaCHOO]

Were YOU in the Situation Room?

[RealHousewife]

Who pissed in Abby's cheerios this morning?

Credit where credit is due and Whoopi moderated perfectly today.

I'm pretty sure Whoopi is refusing, REFUSING, i say, to use the mug. I noticed the mugs make their reappearance last week, but Whoopi hasn't used hers at all. She's only used the one that has a tall little girl on it. Protest, much?

Yeah, that was cheap and predictable. Sometimes I get second-hand embarrassment from hearing her jokes.

Abby should stop talking when others are already talking and learn how to participate in a conversation.  And her white eyelids looked stupid.

I don't blame Whoopi for not using the mug with her playing the subservient doorman.  I cannot believe that neither the artist nor the approvers thought twice about it.

During View Your Deal, right after Sunny hung the glasses from her neck, I very clearly heard Whoopi, off-camera, say the word "bitch." Did anyone else hear that? Im not saying she was referring to Sunny, but maybe she had a hot mic while backstage.

 I think she's afraid of getting fired at the end of the season. Based on this new attempt at assertiveness, I'm convinced that she's read what's being said about her online and she's trying and failing miserably at proving us wrong.
