"The View": Week of 10/28/2019

[HaaCHOO]

And just which "NBC Executive" has been butt-dialing Abby several times?

AND WHY?   I get that her name might be at the top of some alphabetical first-name list, but does every "executive" carry the entire list of NBC employees on their phones?  Or just the prettiest ones?

She doesn't usually like to share information like this...hahahaha

 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. 

Yep, this makes sense.  Plus, even if she's not reading online criticism of herself, she just has to listen to her BFF across the table calling her weak on live TV.😏

I was wondering the same thing? Was it NBC? Abby isn't Diane Sawyer, Meridith Viera, Robin Roberts, before the View I never heard of Abby. Why would a top Executive have her number at the ready to butt dial 😃? I'm not saying it's not possible just bizarre. 

Abby and all her callers😁

Abby doesn't like anything that pulls her out of her little box of rainbows and sunshine.

I'm trying to remember the comment Candace made about protesters.  Something about they have a right to protest but should do it where people don't have to see it?  (I think it was about Kaepernick,)  It must be something about that chair that (beside making hosts pregnant) makes them want rainbows and sunshine.

It really does seem like Abby is pissed that her "view" isn't reality.  She so badly wants there to be civility to the current state of politics and does her best convince herself there is.  So many times she has said she would wait to see how things play out.  Would wait to hear all the evidence.  Abby you don't have to wait till the house is a pile of ashes before you know the house is on fire.

Abby is walking in the footsteps of Hasselbeck on the View.  She started out rational and then progressed to a Hannity mouthpiece with daily coaching (supposedly) from Bill Geddie the Director of the show.  It was unwatchable for a long time.  Sadly, Abby seems to be using the same formula this week.  A previous Republican, Nicole Wallace, didn't make it past a year because she didn't flash her fangs enough.  Although she has said they told her it was because she wasn't up on pop culture!

[Cementhead]

I believe that word on the street behind-the-scenes is that The Other Daughter is going to be replaced next season by either Ana Navarro (if she wants it) or someone else.  I think it's safe to say that McCain isn't going anywhere but Abby's sudden change in behavior is showing us all that her ass is on the line.

Probably also why she is suddenly talking about all of these phone calls she is supposedly getting from all of these "higher ups."  To make herself appear to be of more importance than she really is.

For some reason ABC seems to not want an articulate Republican co host.

Well with Daddy no longer part of the administration Abby's value has went down.

[RealHousewife]

Ideally I’d like the hosts to be something in between nepotism Barbie #1 and nepotism Barbie #2. Joy, Whoopi, Sunny, and Ana are typically good about sharing their opinions and allowing the others to do so.

I agree with the poster about Abby wanting to live in a bubble of “rainbows and sunshine,” and then Meghan gets her blood boiling easily and wants to turn the show into the Real Housewives. 

Their job imo is the be informed, share their views with us, and allow the others to do the same. It’s not their job to avoid saying anything negative because Abby just can’t bear it, nor should they be constantly scowling and snapping at their cohosts like her pal does. Abby is typically sweet, but she was quite rude yesterday. 

[Haleth]

Oh, good God, Meg. Give it a break with Tulsi Gabbard. She’s not going to happen. Meg totally misunderstands the situation. Nobody questions Tulsi’s loyalty. It’s her naïveté about being used by the Russians that’s being questioned. 
 

Wow, Whoopi has had it with Meg hogging the conversation and talking over everyone!  Way to smack her down!

[whydoiwatchtv]

You do not get a pass just for service. Timothy McVeigh anyone? Meghan is insufferable. And Whoopi is trying to lay the smackdown on Meg because she’s rude and entitled to every word or thought. 

[Stoned]

Thanks whoopi for setting the insufferable Megs in Her place..

[Bronzedog]

Whoopie is trying to explain why she doesn't want them interrupting each other and Migraine Meg interrupts her.  What a pig.

[GoldenGirl90]

Abby is a broken record. If you're so tired of talking about the news and current events for an hour a day at a cushy job like The View, maybe it's time to quit and move on.

Joy is absolutely right - wearing a uniform doesn't automatically mean one is beyond reproach and I say that as someone with a father who is a Marine Corps vet and would agree with me. Meghan sounds crazy. She's literally turning red like a mad person.

People like Meghan defending Tulsi makes me dislike Tulsi more than I already do. Good on Whoopi for not letting her dominate the conversation and good on Joy for reading HRC's exact quote to Meghan.

[Haleth]

Meg cannot abide anyone being called a war criminal because it scares her. It’s always about Meg and her feelings. 

Lee Harvey Oswald was a veteran.  Just sayin'.
 

Uh oh. Abby is being challenged for her opinions and uses Twitter as the basis. Like I said yesterday she needs to read a newspaper.

I wonder why Joy or Sunny didn't bring up Abu Ghairb. That's a perfect example of veterans who don't deserve the benefit of the doubt.

[BuckeyeLou]

Bravo Whoopi!  She jumped in to admonish Meghan for yelling over everyone!  Good Grief, the girl is so rude & gets so Mad!  At least when they came back from commercial, Whoopi set out the rules that allow everyone to speak and the show is "The View" & everyone can give their viewpoint.  

[Bronzedog]

Meghan says she has nothing to say on the topic six times.  Then shut up Meghan!

When I was in junior high in the sixties, we had assigned lunch seats.  I wonder if any talk shows were talking about it.  We just did what we were told and didn't really think about it.  It was not newsworthy.

And it lasted all of ninety seconds before Meghan cut her off again.  That's the problem when there are one are two that need to be corrected, and the supervisor gives a vague reminder to everyone so as not to "single anyone out".  I've seen it throughout my career and it drives me crazy.

Ooh, Whoopie wasn't having it.  When Meghan said, "I don't know what that is" and  Whoopie rose up from her chair a bit and then sat down again, you knew somethin' was coming.

I must have missed it -  what was the conspiracy about John McCain that his office had to refute?

Meghan and Abby are equating what people who are on the left (presumably) are saying on (their) social media with what people on the right are saying in the mainstream media, which is seen/heard by many more people.  I wish someone at the table had asked them to name Democrats that are public figures who are criticizing members of the military, other than Hillary Clinton's comments about Tulsi Gabbard (which I wish she had refrained from making without presenting any facts to back it up).

The people who hate John McCain claim because he broke down & gave info to his captors(after being horribly tortured), that he was a "traitor".   Good Grief, I would like to see how those people would react after being tortured for years.

So MM says that if you're a vet, you get a pass from her.  Tell that to the many many wives of vets who have suffered from domestic violence...do those husbands get a pass too, MM?  Don't be so sweeping in your endorsements.

Does Meghan even think before she speaks? Our history is littered with veterans who have done horrific things. She  has such a narrow minded view of the world. Being a veteran doesn't make you any more patriotic than those who didn't serve.  And I am so hoping her admiration of Tulsi Gabbard comes back to bite Meghan in the ass.

I hope she never gives in and makes her a lasagna. She would use it to prop herself up from here until eternity. 

[blondiec0332]

Of course Laura Ingraham is going to the question people's motives when they testify and make Trump look guilty. When they have no defense of what is said they will attack the person saying it.

[Bronzedog]

I don’t see Joy ever making Meghan a lasagna. I expect she’ll eventually make one for Sunny but never for Meghan. It will be kind of a passive aggressive, symbolic gesture. 

[Cementhead]

Maybe Meghan could offer to make Joy a pot of her famous 'debate day chili' in exchange for one of Joy's lasagnas.  Though I would still say this would be a giant hard pass for me.  No thanks! 

[PradaKitty]

Dear God, Meghan. SHUT UP!!!! If you are so pro military why haven’t YOU served?? Oh right.. you would have to follow follow directions and show respect to your superiors. 

[TheGreenKnight]

So today we hear about McCain's daddy and her dead ovaries again. Good God, this is so repetitive. Nobody cares about either of these things anymore. I never cared about her barrenness in the first f-ing place.

Kudos to Joy and Sunny for refusing to take the bait and equalize Tulsi Gabbard to this man.* As Sunny pointed out, there are a great deal many things that are questionable about Gabbard, whereas the Republicans in this story they were talking about only consider this man a "spy" because he can speak Ukrainian. lol

* While I'm on that point, good for them putting Abby in her place over her BothSidesism. Sunny was practically laughing at her for saying Donald Trump and Adam Schiff are equal on the scale of morality.

She should be careful what she wishes for. Joy just might serve her up a lasagna in the same style as Octavia Spencer's character in The Help.

Yes. Abby really needs to stop it with the both parties thing. The only people who believe that is people who think their party isn't doing anything wrong.

She looked like a deer caught in the headlights when Sunny and Joy asked her for examples of her both sides rhetoric. And all she can come up with is I read it on Twitter.

And Whoopi is right Twitter and actually all social media will gladly confirm what you already believe if that is what you are looking for.

At one point on the show she was asked and said she's too old.  She actually was not!  And she hadn't been too old for the previous 20yrs.  She could have been in Annapolis in a second (no need to qualify)...if her dad had wanted it.

With all of the crosstalk today it was hard to hear, but when Sunny cited Chelsea Manning as someone who served in the military and presumably committed a crime against the US, I think I heard MeAgain say "Obama pardoned him (or she may have said her).  Did anyone else catch that?  Right after that Sunny just repeated her point and disregarded MeAgain's point.

All this. There are some very brave and heroic people in the military. But I get so sick of Meghan worshipping all the vets. I’m sorry, but being a veteran doesn’t mean you’re a saint. For someone  so military military military all the time, you would have expected her to have served.

I don’t know if Meghan and Abby both choose to ignore a lot that doesn’t make them feel good or what. Meghan probably refuses to believe negativity about the US military no matter the source. I guess she thinks if you and/or your father aren’t veterans and you dare to critique a veteran, you’re not patriotic and ungrateful to the military. To MM, soldier=noble, and anyone who dares to not be a fan of all the wars, finds fault with a veteran’s actions, isn’t a massive fan of someone just because of their service, etc, is going to offend her because of all the military service in her family. I can’t imagine how big her head would be if she were a veteran. She already considers herself such a tough chick patriot.

I guess it's overcompensation for her insecurities. Most of the people in her family have made careers of public service; Meghan's career is self-promotion and Ultimate Victim posturing. I actually think that military service might have helped her grow up. At the very least, the military might have been able to teach her self-control.

I believe she said she (Sunny) defended Chelsea Manning when Sunny was citing Manning as one example of a veteran who's been criticized. And I'm sure McCain criticized Manning. Sunny's defense of Manning in the past wouldn't contradict Sunny or Joy today though--they were arguing that not all people in a group (like veterans) should be treated as living saints regardless of the facts. Whereas McCain was arguing that NO veteran ANYWHERE can be criticized EVERR! Her criticism of Manning and Gabbard herself both on this show in the past contradicts her own argument today. Not that her being illogical and speaking out both sides of her mouth is anything new. I just thought it was worth mentioning.
