Haleth January 27, 2022 Share January 27, 2022 (edited) One of the expected candidates for scotus graduated from the U of SC law school. Her name escapes me. * Judge Jackson (Harvard) is probably the front runner though. * Michelle Childs. Dang it, Whoopi, for shutting down the convo about Clarence Thomas’s wife. I’ve been waiting for this. That was a weird segue Joy made during the convo about women self medicating during the pandemic. Asking what is better, a glass of wine or a cocktail, was a bit tone deaf. What the heck, Sara? You get 100 % of your dna from your parents. Where else would it come from? The milkman?

I'm sure her and Manny are paying for their kid's tuition. Even being able to pay for Harvard Gabriel still had to have the grades to be accepted. That's a separate conversation than the one I was referring to. I do agree though! Link to comment

geekburger January 27, 2022 Share January 27, 2022 Aside from being natural, what I appreciate about Lisa (and hope the new cohost can do), is that she brings up interesting perspectives on the actual topic at hand. More often than not Whoopi condescendingly introduces a topic and immediately gives her opinion. Then it throws to another host who has to address what Whoopi tried to say. Only the surface (if even that) part of the topic is addressed. Lisa has a nice way of bringing things back to the ground. She reminds me of when Meredith moderated. 10 Link to comment
catlover79 January 27, 2022 Share January 27, 2022 With Mark Cuban not appearing for some reason, there was more time to fill and I'm glad the ladies filled it with a spirited Jeopardy discussion!! Joy and Steve got FJ right. Sunny honestly looked disgusted with Amy's explanation of why she didn't get FJ. Many, many thanks to Lily and Dov for sharing their story. I look forward to reading their book. 7 Link to comment
Blissfool January 27, 2022 Share January 27, 2022 I don't know...I think Sara might have misunderstood whatever it is that she read about DNA because I just googled it and ancestry.com says you get 50% DNA from each parent. Maybe she just didn't explain it well. It was funny because it looked like Sunny and Lisa didn't believe her. 1 3 Link to comment

TheGreenKnight January 28, 2022 Share January 28, 2022 Today was the best show on top of a great week, no surprise with Ana there. I enjoyed Lisa mocking the kind of headlines this show receives, as well as Joy's tirade. Loved the discussion about the Supreme Court, and how the type of people who always balk at diversity of *any* kind dismiss it as "identity politics" as if their insinuation that only a White man could possibly be qualified isn't identity politics in and of itself. I felt Sunny's exhaustion over these kind of insinuations directed at every woman, every Black person, etc. no matter what the job or situation is. It's just veiled, incessant hatred. For someone to try to use the word "racism" as an attempt to block a Black woman from the Court... Just, incredible. Up is down, down is up. I never did comment on yesterday's show; it's harder to think of things to say when you're enjoying everything. *shrug* Suffice it to say I was glad Mark Cuban wasn't there. Not only did it give more time to the ladies to talk with Lisa there, I don't care for those Shark Tank narcissists at all. 15 Link to comment

Lisa418722 January 28, 2022 Share January 28, 2022 Carl Bernstein needed more than one segment. He makes so much sense and explains the "why" in a way that makes it easier to understand. I wanted to hear more about how he started working in a news room. 12 Link to comment

KittyQ January 29, 2022 Share January 29, 2022 Supreme Court nominations - it is unfortunate that over the years nominations have become more and more partisan, instead of looking for people who demonstrate that they are well-versed in Constitutional law and able to make reasoned determinations for the most difficult cases. Nominations should be open to all candidates, including those of diverse backgrounds and who have different educational backgrounds. Narrowing the class of candidates before even exploring who is available seems like the obverse of "all white, Ivy League club members" and isn't more equitable. 2 Link to comment
deirdra January 30, 2022 Share January 30, 2022 (edited) The only thing I could think of during Sara's bizarre explanation of how DNA works is that she meant that you get half of your chromosomes from each parent, but don't exhibit all of both of their traits. You may get your father's eye colour and man hands, but your mother's hair colour and nose shape, while your sister gets your father's nose and hair colour and your mother's eye colour and dainty hands, making each of you unique. It is also why you can end up with traits that haven't been seen since your grandparents or farther back - when you get a recessive gene from both of your parents. Perhaps that is the "half" that Sara thinks are "all you", but they didn't spring out of nowhere, 100% of them were carried in your parents' DNA.

GHScorpiosRule February 1, 2022 Share February 1, 2022 Question about Friday's show--which is saved in my DVR queue, but did Carl Bernstein talk about his relationship with famewhore/sellout Woodward? Do they speak? I know, I know, watch for myself to find out, but I've been fighting a nasty head cold, which is weird, since I haven't left my flat in months. Well, okay, once, when I had to go get tested because my Nana, who I saw on New Year's tested positive (asymptomatic, she's fine now, but had it around Christmas when she had a sore throat and cough). Stupid TheraFlu isn't working except to make my head full of cotton. Link to comment

Haleth February 1, 2022 Share February 1, 2022 Bernstein did speak about Woodward. I don’t remember exactly what he said but Joy asked him to compare Trump’s scandals to Watergate. Carl mentioned him in that context but otherwise no, nothing about their current relationship. 1 Link to comment

GHScorpiosRule February 2, 2022 Share February 2, 2022 Carl Bernstein is a ROCK STAR. He definitely deserved two segments! I can’t believe the producers tried to wave him off with music! As if this was some Emmy speech that ran over the allotted time!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 It was obvious he had more to say about how he got the job and I wanted to know and hear more! BASTARDS. Damn. Nothing about Woodward or if they still keep in touch. Just what phrase they coined during Watergate. Well, Carl is still the real journalist who still has integrity as far as I’m concerned. But nooooo, Christine Ricci gets two segments instead.😒😒😒 5 Link to comment
