[HerkyJerky]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Schmigadoon!

[ifionlyknew]

So I guess we get to watch Meghan be rude to Mary Trump again.  And let's see how she treats Lt. Col. Vindman.  Or does she only respect soldiers when they are part of her tribe?

[TheView]

We're so close to her exit

If Megaphone gets teary on Friday there will be projectile vomiting at the Axie mansion.  

[TheView]

I'm surprised Ben isn't a guest for the final show too 

[maggiemae]

LOL - love that Cindy will be on to make the day lighter.

Wonder if Whoopi and for that matter Ana will be on or perhaps the fiasco, I mean show, will be pre-recorded.

[Bronzedog]

I just assumed Cindy would be there to present Meghan with a legal order to stay out of Arizona.

If it is live on Friday, Whoopi won't be there cause she doesn't give a shit about MeAgain. But that is a good point about being pre-recorded. That way MeAgain and "my producer" Brian can ensure that she comes off well. Oh, if only they would show the clips we all enjoy on social media.

I don't think there is any way that Ben would show up, but, then again, it would give him an international audience and he is fame porn lover, trademark MeAgain (fear porn, etc.)

You mean handy man porn 😉

[tableau vivant]

I wonder if Cindy is there on Friday for them to announce she's the new cohost to replace her daughter MeAgain ?  Then we will hear all about 'MyHusband' .

Cindy is awaiting confirmation for another job. I don’t know if the mods would allow me to say anymore.

I know what you're referring to.   I'm not sure why the mods won't allow you to say, since her position has been discussed on the show in the past few weeks from the hosts and from her daughter. Doesn't that make it fair play ?

Maybe they’re the same person. We’ve never seen them together in the same room.

I don't think so (not of the current hosts). If Whoopi's in a partnership, she's keeping it private. Joy has Steve. Sunny has Manny. Sara has Max. Ana has Al. Meghan has Ben. Paula, Candace, and Jed's husbands aren't Bens, either.

Im thinking of Max i believe.  I have an awful habit of mixing up hubbies names.  Case in point, for like five years i would send a Christmas card to my cousin and her hubby 'Kevin'.  Finally on hers she had a little sidebar and told me his name is 'Mike' LOLOL

I’m going to miss saying “shut up Megan” at my tv.

No questions from Meghan for Mary Trump.

[TheGreenKnight]

Looks like Mary Trump got the last laugh! I was literally cackling. I already noticed the brat wasn’t there on my own, but then MT actually called her out for being a coward directly. LOL Good for her. That’s why I’ve never once believed McCain when she says she’s not a Trump supporter—she’s defended him every single step of the way, and passionately at that. She just wants to have her cake and eat it, too, by not owning it.

The View’s already feeling like its old self again today, from the topics they had to the opinions openly expressed. I thought Joy should’ve had the final word on the Kathy Griffin topic as a comic who’s likewise had the bull’s-eye on her from the Right for a very long time, ready to take anything out of context to take her out, but Whoopi did a decent job ending the segment. I thought there were several major points they neglected to mention, but oh well. I agreed the most with Sara’s comments about how that moment in Griffin’s life was a time when a person finds out who their friends really are. It’s why I’ve never liked Anderson Cooper since.

Did Crypt Keeper Adam say the dog shampoo came in a beautiful glass canister you could display in your foyer?  Yes, Adam.  That would make everyone believe you had hired a professional decorator.  I had to have heard that wrong.

I think that was actually a hand soap that came right after the dog shampoo.

Countdown to Friday, folks! 😄

”Ron DeSantis would put [Kamala Harris] in the ground.”  Yeah, if she lived in FL. Poor choice of words, Meg.

Interesting that Meg is sitting out the Mary Trump interview. Guess she couldn’t get those fileting knives sharpened.

Just double checked, it was actually a hand sanitizer so I guess that makes a little more sense?? 

 

Good for Mary Trump for calling out Meg for sitting out the interview.

Here's hoping that every guest this week gets to absolutely roast Meghan.

I have  hand sanitizer in my foyer - used to have clorox wipes and disposable masks as well -but I've calmed down a little,  A little.

I know Sunny has a lovefest with Kamala.  However, to say that she had been boarder before missed the point that she hadn't gone as VP.

Mary Trump Calls Out Meghan McCain. From The Daily Beast

[Teriacky]

Geesh, Meghan, they didn’t ask you if you LIKE Kathy Griffin. She is dealing with far more issues than whether some bitchy little toad liked her! 
Just remember, this could also happen to you. And by that I mean you can be blackballed by all of your fellow “pundits”.  The rest of us don’t like you anyway…

Surely you are aware that the world revolves around MM?  The only issue anyone has is whether she likes them or not  I wish I were joking.  

[Tammy12]

Meghan had no issue with Rush Limbaugh's homophobia when she was talking about how much she idolized him / his lung cancer, so I guess she only has an issue with people who come for the gay people she's friends with.

I don't dislike Kathy Griffin. I know a lot of people do but I'm willing to bet more people like her than Meghan.

Not making excuses for the outrageous things Kathy says but she is a comic. You don't always know if she means what she says or not or if she is just going for the laugh.  However with Meghan when she says something offensive she means it.  And if she doesn't really mean then she is only saying it to be get political points  I will take Kathy over Meghan any day every day.

MeAgain gives Alex Jones  a pass for saying things that are "obviously" too outrageous for anyone to believe, but not Kathy, who obviously did not behead Trump (it was a sick joke, not funny, and she apologized; being a comedian isn't easy).  I don't think Kathy intentionally outed Clay either; she like 99% of the population assumed he'd been out for years.

Mary could have added that she wouldn't have been able to keep a straight face if Blinky McGlitter had asked her a question.  Did Missy leave her blue cards and filet knife in her limo?

[Lifesabeach]

Poor  poor Clay Aiken.  Always called out by Missy As one of her closest friends in the entire world, her brother. 😡

Joy had a good point about the second hand smoke.  My brother never smoked but died of lung cancer from his wife’s continuous smoking..  I had access to many oncologists at research start-up meetings and every single one I asked said the second hand smoke was the cause.

When watching old movies or TV shows I sometimes go down the wiki rabbithole looking up the stars.  It's sad, but not surprising how many died of cancer, often lung cancer, at relatively young ages.  And not every one was a smoker but they all grew up in an era where almost everyone not only smoked but smoked constantly and everywhere.

I do that too, and it is hard not to notice that in some movies from the 1940s you can barely see the actors for all the smoke in the scenes ... and they would have done many takes.

Christopher Reeve's wife was another non-smoker who died of lung cancer from years of second hand smoke as a waitress.

If she cared so much about him she wouldn't support people who support polices that are meant to be discriminatory towards him.  

 

[adore]

Meghan's stylist has a great sense of humor.

Friday can't come soon enough! (I wouldn't be disappointed if good breaking news interrupts the sign-off).
