Last night I saw Mary Trump's 45 minute interview with Rachel Maddow.  Tonight I saw her 45 minute interview with Chris Cuomo.  I think I can safely say that she is calm, cool, and collected.  Besides, she's a psychologist.  Meghan won't faze her at all.

I bet Meghan won’t be there Thursday.  I won’t be there Tuesday.  Yuck.

I'm sure Meg will go after Mary Trump.  I look forward to hearing from Amy McGrath.  Everyone else?  Not so much.

I do not like Patricia Heaton.

Can you guys please fill me in on Patricia Heaton? What did she do?

She shamelessly advances a false narrative for shock value and is extremely divisive because rather than stating facts she gets personal and goes low when expressing her opinion. A person is entitled to their own opinion but not their own facts. You could google for more information.

Me either. I cannot stand her. The only way I would watch is if one of the panelists asked her about her husband sexually harassing women on her awful sitcom. If that happens-I am in.         

[LetsStartTalking]

I am looking forward to Mary Trump's interview, as I wasn't too impressed with the Mddow interview. Could be because it was pre-recorded (Maddow was on vacation from her show last week, but they stuck this interview in) and it wasn't edited too well. At times Mary Trump would respond, and then 'dead air' for a few seconds, since she wouldn't elaborate. I'm not sure if it's because she's not comfortable being interviewed, or because she was restricted in what she could say. It made for a disappointing conversation (for me). Maddow really struggled to get information at times.  The final edit was rather choppy, and I expected much better from Maddow and her team.

I didn't see Cuomo, not sure if that was pre-recorded, too. I really hope that Thursday's interview is live and not pre-recorded. If these interviews with her are indeed pre-recorded, that means she probably is getting rights to 'final edit' with her legal team, most likely for legal reasons.

Next week looks like a 'dreadful week' once again. Ice Cube, Patricia Horton, Raven Symone ? I can do without all of them. But thank heavens we have 'View Your Deal' on Monday !!!!!!!!

[Triviatrish2]

As to the Mary Trump interviews...Chris Cuomo's interview was far superior to Rachel's.  Mary seemed more relaxed with him, and gave more compete answers.  It seemed with Rachel, there were a lot of short and one word answers, as I remember. She doe not show a  lot of emotion.

[Haleth]

How about replacing some of the confederate statues with one of John Lewis?  There is someone worth honoring  

 

[Axie]

Love you Governor Hogan!

[lusinia]

Meghan must be misremembering the conversation she had with Congressman Lewis when he was on the show.  She said that he spoke to her about her father's passing, but the date on the screen was January 15, 2018, and John McCain didn't die until the following August (I did check to see if the producers got the year wrong).   

And it was pretty classless of her to say during her comments about John Lewis that a) some people tell her she brings up her family too much, and that b) Lewis and McCain had a "political disagreement...and it got very ugly.  I have no interest in rehashing it right now".  So why bring it up at all?  This was not the time to mention what she perceives as attacks on her or her family.  Even when Meghan's trying to be respectful, she just can't put aside any personal grievances.

Dear Meghan,

It's not your turn today. It's someone else's turn today. It's sad, and it even hurts your head, but sometimes it's not your turn. Other people, maybe you've heard of them, sometimes they get a turn. It won't hurt forever, it will just feel like forever, but you can do it. Give it a fucking try, OK? 

[falltime]

Lol The View commercial that played at the end should have also included that they have a child on the panel.

Patricia Heaton's current show is AWFUL.  I wonder if it has been or will be cancelled.   It's one joke -  A flighty, middle-aged woman who doesn't seem very bright, somehow gets into medical school and is an intern.  So every joke is about how she's the "mom"  and the other interns are "kids." The show tries to say something about middle-aged women being taken seriously in the workplace, but it tries too hard , comes across preachy with dumb jokes and Heaton delivers punchlines like she's still playing the "mom"  from her other shows.  

[Lifesabeach]

I read that PHs show was cancelled which kind of disappointed me because that had set up Kelsey Grammer to come on as her  ex husband and new boss.  Could have been funny?

And thank you View Your Deal!  I have to have the bedazzled face mask and the hamburger socks.  

I will wear them together, just the socks and mask 😈🤡

It's cancelled.  What's funny is, I guess no one took that possibility into account when they chose to give her book the exact same title.

I was pretty confused by that because Sunny laid out a bunch of facts, twice, and he said, twice, everything you just said is inaccurate.  And then he laid out his answers.  Was Sunny wrong or misrepresenting? Was he spinning and/or lying?

Totally agree on her comments about John Lewis. She could have said that they sometimes disagreed but remained colleagues if she wanted to note that...but to say it got ugly, etc was unnecessary.  Clearly she still holds a little grudge,  otherwise why mention it?  It’s always about her no matter who they’re trying to discuss or honor.

And it cannot have been that noteworthy as I just googled and could not find anything on it.  What a bitch she is for even mentioning it. She could've just told about meeting him, which was a nice and appropriate story.  And she doesn't have to preamble with the bitchy and childish: I know everyone hates it when I talk about my family.  What an idiot.

And how about when Meghan "corrected" Joy about Jennifer Hudson instead of Jennifer Holliday in Dreamgirls?  Meghan, she was the ORIGINAL Dreamgirl!  Meghan is so fricking arrogant that she thinks she is always right!

Meghan said a while back that she wants to go last so that she can thoughtfully (?) reply to her fellow hosts comments.  I call BS!  She wants to go last so that she can talk the MOST!

[choclatechip45]

I thought the comments on John Lewis was nice. It was nice to hear what the co-hosts remember him by since he was on the show since he is such a part of history. Joy and Sunny seemed really humbled by having him on the show which was nice to see.   I didn't mind Meghan's comments until she brought up the feud. If she had just left that out her comments would have been fine.

Exactly!  Also, her comments could have sounded authentic but she seemed to either have rehearsed them or on a teleprompter. Probably both.

It was a speech.

Meghan told a lovely story about meeting John Lewis, but then she had to ruin it by resorting to tribalism.

[Badbea99]

Of course, MeAgain has to go into a dissertation about meeting John Lewis, even including the fact that her father took his staff along for the meet and greet.  Makes me wonder if the meet up was more of a photo op of some sort to benefit the Senator.  If he wanted his brat daughter to meet the Congressman, couldn't the two of them have gone to his office alone.  Something is off.  

She really didn't need to include the part about them having a political fallout, that was totally unnecessary.  She is so self-absorbed and we know from her comments last week or the week before about holding grudges, she more than likely hasn't gotten over that dustup.  Perhaps the Congressman expressed his concern for her father's diagnosis when he appeared on the show in January of 2018 and she is confused.  Not making excuses for her but that would make sense.  She's such an ass.

[LetsStartTalking]

Another strange day in MeAgain's world - of course she had to make Lewis' death somehow about her father. She just had to - she can't help herself.

I was impressed with Guv Hogan (though I will admit, he looked like a talking 'thumb') and I like when he shut Sunny down. You can tell when she's upset or embarrassed - she does this weird quivering smile where she looks like she's swallowing her bottom lip, and then closes her eyes. It happened twice with Hogan and he made her look like a fool.

 

Ahhh - and VYD! I was up all night trying to figure out where I could buy sparkly masks and hamburger socks for 'one low price'. I think I'll wait a little longer - like six weeks - where I'll find the overstock (even cheaper) sitting on the shelves of Family Dollar and TJ Maxx.

Did John come on?  Last i remember seeing was VYD and tuned it out.  If he was just a blip to promote, i prob fast forwarded right through it

Meghan isn't there, which is a shame since I wanted to hear what she had to say about Portland and if she brings up rioting.

[Haleth]

This is so boring today.

I hate the concept of “what would you do.”  I think it promotes division and confrontation, especially when tackling a political issue, rather than getting people to see both sides. It exploits people for entertainment. I don’t want to see people fighting.

Worse than Afghanistan?!!!!!!!

When she was talking about these anonymous federal troops, Whoopie said that "we need to pay attention to the little things", and I'm thinking, "Whoopie, this is hardly a little thing", but then a few minutes later she said "this is different".  Sometimes Whoopie's thoughts are so disjointed.   

They're all enjoying getting more time to talk, aren't they?  You can also tell that they appreciated having an entire hour to themselves, with no Meghan to monopolize the conversation.
