[catlover79]

When was the last time he appeared? Was it last September when he and Keke Palmer popped up to wish Sara a Happy Birthday?

[gatopretoNYC]

I like America Ferrera, but don't give a fig for any of the other guests.

[LetsStartTalking]

borrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrring week.

[TheGreenKnight]

America Ferrera is the only guest I'm interested in as well.

[MsTree]

Since when do we watch this show for the guests??

No, her biography is titled "Her  Father, who art in Heaven..."

On the rare occasion I actually watch, I only watch the guest spots.  Hot topics sends me into fits of apoplexy.

Manchin isn’t naive, he’s trying to hang onto his job as Joy says. The Dems need to offer him something he’d like more than being a senator.

Meg, protecting voting rights is not “bending the knee to ‘the squad.’”

Interesting tidbit about baby Lillibet - she’s the first royal who is also eligible to be POTUS. (Take that, Meghan!)

Meghan says she has zero minutes to respond and then babbles on for several minutes.

I live in Manchin's state and at this point he is universally hated. He will not win another term. Democrats in my state don't trust him and Republicans won't vote for him. Last election I wrote in my own name rather than vote for him.

Good for you!! 🥰

[Bronzedog]

Meghan, thanks for explaining your daughter’s name.  I too am patriotic so I renamed my dog GodBlessAmericaLandThatILove.  He’s a little confused but he never listened to his old name anyway.

[catlover79]

Oh my goodness - THOSE PANTS!! 😳

You should have won! We would not be having these problems if you did.

[Medicine Crow]

Missy didn't want to contribute to the "Donald's pants" topic so she threw Joy under the bus by saying Joy wasn't allowed to say it looked like he pooped his pants & then had a giggle-fest while everyone else was talking.  Could I dislike her any more??

Joy: "I didn't have a discussion with Standards".

Methinks The Princess wants to add Hall Monitor to her vaunted credentials. Oy.

[After7Only]

What prominent (or even semi-prominent) Democrat has called Manchin a traitor?  What does AOC or the squad have to do with voting rights legislation?  They were not the leading voices on this bill.   I hate that MM is allowed to spout things that are untrue and misleading.   And no one is allowed to push back with facts.   When Joy/Sunny make statements about Republicans they often name the specific republican(s) that did XYZ thing.

Which makes the fact that the show is under ABC's NEWS division all the more absurd. 😡

Wouldn’t Archie also be eligible since Meghan is a US born citizen?

Stop reporting on her.

[ifionlyknew]

I like Sara but she is wrong. Manchin is not representing the Democratic voters in his (my state). He is kowtowing to the voters who did not vote for him.  As that old saying goes you need to dance with the person who brought you.

 

Also something Sara didn't mention and maybe doesn't know is not all legislation needs 60 votes to withstand a filibuster.  A lot of legislation is a simple majority vote.

I like the Primetimer Recap.  😊  Sometimes I don't get to watch the episode right away and by reading the recap, I know what happened and can follow the conversation here.

I like it too for the same reason. If I see Me-again is there being a fool then I skip it. I think it is impressive how quickly the recap gets published. Great job, cslustig! I followed you on twitter!

[Mrs Huffnagle]

I suspect 45 now has to wear pull up pants, because he can't manage a zipper.  If he does, indeed, wear an adult diaper, it might have gotten full and been leaking.  I suspect fronto temporal dementia, and he is too combative to let someone help him dress.

Really, Sara, word salad to paraphrase Manchin's op-ed?  McConnell has already made it clear that nothing will get passed, and everything substantive will be filibustered.

I'm wondering if the producers had a talk with Meghan, but not the others.

I believe he was born in Canada and I’m not sure Meghan retained her US citizenship. (Someone more in the know than me can confirm.)

[deirdra]

"Wash your hands if you want; wear a mask if you want; hug a friend if you want" ... Great advice Whoopi. Are you aware that your show airs in at least 60 different health jurisdictions, some where masks are still required in certain settings?

Do a recap, fine. But everyday, it's a picture of Meghan's face, the headline is Meghan's outrageous comments. Even when she was off, the headline was "Meghan's off, so now we can debate this topic". It's ridiculous.

Yes, and Meghan can only lose her US citizenship if she renounces it (dual citizenship has been allowed in the US for >30 yrs).  Marriage doesn't negate it; in fact, marrying her made Harry subject to US income taxes even when they were living in the UK and Canada.  The US & Yemen are alike in having such tax rules.

[bannana]

Why on earth did they do that topic on Trump's pants? They weren't on backwards, they had a zipper, but I don't know if he pooped in them. After seeing the topic trending on Twitter yesterday it didn't take me long to find a photo that hadn't been altered but which clearly showed his pants are just ill-fitting. The photo everyone was having with fun had been altered to blur out the zipper and in the process made it look he might be wearing a diaper. And that is all good fun on Twitter.  But the producers surely could do at least as good a job as me and realize this was a total fake-out. Oh, wait, they did know, they said at the end of the segment that Snopes had debunked it and that there are hours of video on CSPAN that prove it. So the producers and the hosts still thought this was a good hot topic?

[Sue in her 60s]

Sara has been providing insightful analysis all season, but today she seemed a bit off. I think by nature she likes to see "both sides" get along, but today she didn't seem to understand during the Manchin discussion that McConnell has no interest in bipartisanship.  He's doing to Biden what he did to Obama - refusing to let good legislation get passed, for fear the voters will like the new laws, and reward Democrats by voting for them.

Good for Whoopie, who distilled the opposition to the voting rights bill by saying that opponents just don't want certain people to vote.

Maybe the site publishes recaps that focus on Meghan because they read this forum, where we're all obsessed with criticizing Meghan. 🤷‍♂️

[bannana]

In attempting to convey her thoughts on the Manchin topic, Whoopi did what MeAgain usually does--she fast-read and garbled a list stats and talking points so that no one could understand a word she said!

Hmmm...MeAgain is told what not to say by Standards but Joy is not? 👀

MeAgain tells she has several thoughts on the Manchin topic, advises us that she could discuss the filibuster for the full hour (while waving her pen in the air) but won't discuss it now because they have no time left. So she wastes time to tell us those two important things. Then goes ahead and blathers on about the Squad and a bunch of other not relevant stuff!  I really had no idea what she was talking about.

For whatever it's worth - I think he thinks giant, loose pants make him look slimmer and he's vain enough to believe it. I will leave it at that.

And Meghan didn’t even stay in the UK long enough to gain citizenship.

I was wondering about that and whether the 3-yr residency requirement might have been waived for a nouveau royal.

[maggiemae]

I think there was a little animosity between Joy and MM today.

Seems to me that MM is too concerned with what she will talk regarding topics  in pre-meetings and the other co-hosts are willing to talk about anything.

But then I always wonder why MM gets so much time off...or is angry from the get-go.

And her recent attempts at a pleasant face, or laughs is not natural. A lot of us have noticed this is not typical for her.

[catlover79]

Ana's here - YAY!!!!! Meghan's still there - BOOOOOO!!!!!!
