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. 

Exactly. He literally celebrated the deaths of gay mean. She openly admires many extremely problematic people, but she won't forgive Kathy Griffin. Give me a break!

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

That would be our bonus gift wouldn’t it? If they ran a fraction of already compiled videos of her rants, faces and general rudeness? Then have confetti come down from the ceiling with horns being blown.  Happy dance memes! 
I feel about Kristen Chenoweth as some feel  about the other Kristen.
 Loved Mary calling her out. Poor Mary still seems uncomfortable ,but think a injection on those worry lines would help. 
No that giant hand sanitizer bottle is not beautiful for the doorway or sink.  Glad you love it so show me a picture of how it’s displayed in your home. I’ve used sanitizer for at least 13 -14 years since volunteering  in a non profit pre- school.  I had one on a belt loop and kids all wanted a squirt but all swirled their toothbrushes in still water in the sink.  That being said I’ve removed the one by the entry.

Joy is right about tattoo placement.  I have two. One on my ankle and one on the corner of my upper back.  They are mostly hidden unless someone catches a glimpse of them if I wear something that exposes them.  Women especially have to think about where they have them put.  As she mentioned on your boob can be problematic.  Anywhere that can change shape is a risk.. I have a former friend who had a some sun god put all around her belly button.  Needless to say it has changed appearances quite a bit.

Heck, her own husband sent homophobic tweets to Seth Myers after her appearance on his talk show! If she is as pro-LGBQT, then why is she happily married to a homophobe?

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! 
 

I found her rant to be in very poor taste.   Kathy is talking about having cancer and MM wants to judge her entire life based on one joke that a lot of comedians of that time were making about Clay?  Particularly considering a large portion of Kathy's fanbase is actually the LGBTQ community.  It just came across as mean spirited.   Let anyone say something critical of "my father" while he was battling cancer..   She'd have plenty to say (unless it was Trump 😀)

 

[Gemma Violet]

Clay Aiken and Kathy Griffin buried the hatchet years ago.  Her jokes were all before 2008 when he came out.  Kathy even hosted a fundraiser for Clay's campaign in 2014 when he ran for Congress. Why is Meghan bringing all this up?  It makes it look like Clay is holding a grudge against Kathy.

I thought it was in poor taste too, even for Meghan. 

I also think if you want to know what offends a community, you ask them. The LGBT community as a whole loves Kathy. I'm pretty sure they don't care for many of the folks that Meghan enjoys/defends. 100% agree with you there too. Meghan's head would have popped off her body if anyone said anything critical of her father while he was battling cancer.

As glorious as Mary throwing shade at Meg’s cowardly ass was, I hate that the show even dignified one obviously skewed poll about Vice President Harris as a subject.

• Fortunately, I never found (or imagined) a tattoo I'd want all my life.
• Also, I was born in 1940, so I aged out by the time more females were getting them.
• AND...I was a freckled redhead.  My skin is so thin and crinkled (especially my arms), any tattoo I got would like like dirty laundry today.

My niece is a nurse - she has said that the one thing that convinced her to never get a tattoo was seeing how they looked on elderly patients.  Not nearly as cool as they once did I guess!

Was Meghan's new flubbed word of the day a bastardization of "reticent"? 

In the discussion about Kathy Griffin, Meghan said: "I just wonder if this show would have the same reaction if a conservative host, or a conservative comedian had held up a severed, bloody head of Vice President Harris, President Obama, President Biden -- I think probably, I can speculate there* would be a lot less recitent* to have forgiveness."

I would *think* what she meant to say is that "they would be more reticent to have forgiveness," but what a fricking word salad.

* t-h-e-r-e is not my typo of they; r-e-c-i-t-e-n-t is not my typo of reticent. Meghan said "there" and "recitent." 

Relevant section starts after the 6:40 mark in the video attached to this tweet.

Why you ask?  Because, as we all know, every topic has to have something to do with her.  In the KG discussion she managed to being in Clay as well as referencing her own family’s experience with cancer and addiction.

Haven't watched the show but Mary Trump is trending for her comments on MeAgain.  I have read what she said. For Mary to say that means that she knew for a fact that MeAgain sat out intentionally.  Because if it was a technical problem, The View would have quickly pointed that out. And even MeAgain didn't refute it on Twitter but she did make herself the victim again.

So do we think MeAgain informed my producer Brian that she refused to be part of the Mary Trump interview?

And here is what Meghan has to say to Mary Trump today, on Twitter: 

 

“There is no ‘good’ Trump family member to me,” McCain tweeted this afternoon. “Continue to wish they would all just leave me and my entire family the fuck alone.”

Geez I guess Meghan holds a grudge for something that her bestie doesn't even care about.  And he makes her look like petty bitch.

Add to that Mary Trump accurately nailing Meghan and she is having a bad day.

Well Meghan if you hadn't accused Mary Trump of being an opportunist for writing a book about her own family dynamics the last time she was on the View she might have a better opinion of you.

That photo Clay tweeted with Kathy in the wedding dress was taken at the Billboard Awards (or maybe the AMAs) where they co-presented, with Kathy walking out in a wedding gown saying she and Clay were getting married.  Lol--I had forgotten about that photo.

I wondered how MM would respond - and we all knew she would respond.  Nice try Meghan but no one is buying this.  You didn't have a problem appearing on the show with Mary Trump the last time.   Her comment got under that thin skin of yours but good.  You really are a coward and you know it.

Mary Trump has a PHD in clinical psychology.  She sees Meghan exactly for who she is.

I'd love it if one of the other women on the show brings this up tomorrow.  Ask Meghan why she holds a grudge when clearly he doesn't.  This just makes her look even smaller and pettier than she already did - who thought that was even possible?

Oh fuck off, Meg. You kept defending Trump unless he dared to say something about your father. Where was your righteous rage when Trump and his followers cancelled your mother for standing up for your family?!

[Triviatrish2]

Has anyone noticed how MM shoulders are out of sync?  Didn’t someone post that she had suffered a broken arm or wrist?  Or is it just me, seeing something out of whack?

[maggiemae]

So much for the "rabble rouser" and "mountain mama" as she describers herself on twitter.

I wonder if she will call in sick again tomorrow.

I wonder if Clay Aiken knows he and Meghan are besties.

She only cares about sexism if it is a conservative woman who is being mistreated due to her gender.

Personal note:  I read that Kathy was having surgery.  My last data was that surgery is the “only cure” for lung CA. So 👍🏻💛

She actually tweeted that out yesterday, I believe. She said she was losing half her left lung, it was caught super early-stage I, and they told her she probably doesn’t need chemo or radiation. 
 

That is totally not cool of what Meghan tweeted. That’s just being prejudiced to hate someone based on who you’re related to. It has nothing to do with genetics, it’s based on how you’re raised.

Yup, and she is only passionate about racism and homophobia when she can have a go after someone on the left.

It’s why I’ve never liked Anderson Cooper since.

And he became friends with Andy Cohen. Yuck. There's something about him I don't like. I guess I blame him for the Housewives. You know Meghan loves Cohen. 

I've always been a Kathy Griffin fan from her standup to her reality show. Yes, the Trump thing was stupid; she never should have done it. I was really a  fan of KG's mother Maggie who was a gay rights supporter and died at 99.  I don't want to hear from No Sense of Humor McCain.

Kathy is a very talented comedian who messed up and was punished more than enough. Meghan’s expressed admiration for MyFather’s humor, which was extremely gross and offensive. I’d go into that but don’t want to break rules. For her to not cut a comedian slack for old jokes while she’s battling cancer and Clay himself forgave her, it’s just so crazy. 

I always look forward to Friday, but it will be especially sweet this week! 

[statsgirl]

I liked that Mary Trump praised The View and said how important it is for bringing serious issues to broad attention. They get "thank you for having me" a lot but rarely a step back to praise for the broader picture.

She also said that in her opinion all the threats to American democracy in 2021 can be traced to racism. It's an interesting thought.

[Stoned]

Hear,hear to Mary.."Tough chick Megs" was in hiding..

[JAYJAY1979]

Here's the thing about Kathy Griffin.  What she did wasn't a speech...but a very poor in taste joke about the President.  It basically crossed a line.  Should she have been canceled?  No, but she did need to suffer consequences..which she did.  However, it is time to move on from punishing her.  I do agree with Sara that in those times, your true friends are revealed. And it's sad she didn't have support from her 'friends' at the time.  

Sunny...she doesn't seem objective about Kamala.  I guess that's the one thing she and Meghan have in common.

In MeAgain's mind, Mary Trump was on The View for the sole purpose of messing with Meghan and the McCain family.  In reality, Mary's on a book tour of talk shows.  If you co-host a talk show, it is your job to talk to the guests. Clearly she is not up to the job. Good Riddance!

I truly don't understand Meghan's reply.

“Continue to wish they would all just leave me and my entire family the fuck alone.”

What did Mary say about her family? Mary called her out (rightfully so) for her unprofessionalism and she plays victim, tries to duck behind her father's name once again. Someone on Twitter posted a photo of Meghan sitting for Donald Trump Jr.'s interview on The View when he was a guest. I also remember how she nauseatingly called him "Mr. Trump" when addressing him. Good riddance.
