I find it somewhat funny that Sunny will NOT say one negative thing about a black person EVER!!! Doesn't matter how bat shit crazy they are or that they've made actual threats to people, she will NEVER let those words leave her lips!!! Wonder if she'd be fine being alone with Kayne or would want some back up, just in case? I just find her so bloody annoying these days! She used to be one of my favorites. Not now.

She says she doesn’t believe in cancel culture but consequence culture.  She has said this time and time again. So then, what is the consequence for Kanye’s behavior? I agree with Ana, all he needs to do is motive one crazy person to cause real harm.

If and when that happens or Kanye himself escalates to more than social media threats will Sunny say she was wrong?

Am I LATE to the party? I want Miss Perfection to know that she wasn't the SAL-u-torian. She was the sa·lu·ta·to·ri·an /səˌlo͞odəˈtôrēən/.              She left out one syllable.

It was easy for Sunny to say she didn't like the "everyone gets a medal" mentality when your children excel in things.  Parents who have children who don't probably feel differently. 

And often, when those winning children ARE excelling, they've had MORE than the benefit of mere talent (brain power, athleticism, personality).  They have wealthy parents or grandparents.  Perhaps they didn't start school the moment they were eligible; let's have Little Charmer wait so she'll be more competitive. They've had private coaches, tutors, teachers--moved to "better" schools...special teams during the summer (PAID teams).  Perhaps some didn't have a mother who took two buses home from work and didn't arrive until after dark.  The son had to wash his own uniforms (if he remembered--and if he had money for the washers/dryers).  Sunny becomes more snooty every week and MORE UNBEARABLE!!

These days, it's so common for Sunny to gloat over every benefit her children have.  They'd better not disappoint...EVER!

Just because you and I find it off putting doesn't mean she doesn't have opportunities for something else.  I wouldn't be surprised if she ran for office.  Or took a job as an advisor to a particular politician.  

Those are not the "opportunities" that interest Sunny.  She yearns to be wealthier than Oprah...more respected/beloved than Oprah.  She has more attention (exposure) on The View than she would in any elected office--other than POTUS.   She would be second fiddle if she were someone's advisor.  AND...her opportunities need to be in SHOWBIZ.  Big Time Showbiz!

Sunny, it’s saluTAtorian!  If you’re going to brag about your achievement, you should be able to pronounce it correctly. 😂

Last week Sunny mispronounced three words in one episode! I was going to post about it here, but forgot.

She mispronounced bizarre, divisive, and another word that I can't remember (she left out a syllable.) I was shocked.

If the guest host from last week tested positive haven't they technically all had close contact now after sitting at the table with her? 

Maybe it's like at my school. If the student wasn't not within three feet of the infected student, it's ok.

I remember a while back, there was a Hot Topic regarding whether grades should be done away with in schools.  Does anyone remember what Sunny said about that?  It seems like she was in favor of doing away with them, but I may be misremembering.  If I'm correct, then her strong opinion on the importance of valedictorians was a little disingenuous.

Totally agree. And that's a major problem about Sunny. It's as if she can't seriously argue about any subject without bringing up race! Sunny dear, not everything is this world is about race.

Even if the topic was about apartment buildings in NY...if one of them was painted black, she'd be declaring the painter as racist. 🙄

Since Sunny thinks there should be consequence culture what exactly does she think Kanye's consequence should be for his behavior?

Sunny is a former federal prosecutor. She should understand someone's mental illness doesn't excuse their behavior. It might help explain it but they need to be held accountable for things they have done.  I have to admit I'm a little surprised by her defending him.  I've seen her excoriate people for doing a whole lot less concerning things than Kanye.

I've heard this statement multiple times, especially on TV, and the response typically is that everything is about race. Further discussion devolves into "no, it isn't / yes, it is" and no one's perspective is changed. For those who primarily view the world through any particular lens (race, gender, political party, nationality, conspiracy theory and so on) the saying that when you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail applies.

[KittyQ]

Oh Sara, a lot of these hearings are given over to bloviating by the senators rather than hearing about the nominee's ideas. The pattern is that the questioner starts to "ask a question" by showing off what they know and blabbing on about their perspective with a "question" at the end. Then the nominee gets a few minutes to respond, and then back to the next questioner for more editorializing.

How does she make everything about race?  Her experiences as a Black woman will influence her views on certain subjects and I see nothing wrong with that..

She doesn't.  But when race is relevant to the discussion she brings it up.   Much like Joy, Whoopi and Sarah brought up John Cho's Asian heritage and racial issues in the Asian community during his interview today.  

I personally appreciate Sunny's perspective, because she is acknowledging the thoughts and views of a good portion of the show's viewers.    

Loved the segment on birthday parties and narcissists.  Sarah basically telling Joy she was just cranky and trying to hug her as they went to commercial was hilarious.

Guest host was trying too hard and talking too fast.   Hopefully she settles down a bit tomorrow.   Her baby was absolutely adorable.

I wonder if this is because the format and pace of her regular show (Daily Blast Live) is very different than The View. They do quicker takes on the topics covered during the show (which is 30 minutes) and talk back and forth a lot.

Ditto that.  That's the same vibe I wish our co-host had, but no  They broke in while they were on a break, broke out when they started again.  John Cho is :) hes a sweetheart.  Wish he had time to get in more detail so as to get a vibe of the book.  I may have to pick that one up.  He sounds like he was driven to write it, a lot of passion.

Me three. I thought she was awful.  Aside from her saying things that were simply not true she kept interrupting and talking over the others.  I didn't find her likable at all.  And Sunny kept giving her the side eye.  I would be shocked if she is invited back after this week.

For whatever it's worth, there is next to no chance Lindsey will get the fifth chair. She's definitely not a conservative and outside of DBL has done MSNBC panels with the likes of Joy Reid and Tiffany Cross. 

That makes me wonder why she was invited to guest host at all. Maybe someone else cancelled?

Well, I’m having a really lousy week so reading that there’s next to no chance Lindsey will be the next cohost is the best news I’ve heard all week.

There are two blond DBL hosts - Samantha Schacher and Tory Shulman. I'm guessing the one you mean is Samantha Schacher, who serves as the moderator.

Samantha is a pretty effective moderator, too. Sometimes when I watch, I think that Whoopi should watch her to get some tips on how to do it.

Sam knows how to keep things moving. Whoopi definitely could learn a thing or to from her...if she was motivated enough to do so.

[TheGreenKnight]

Loved Sunny cutting the guest co-host off at the pass by calling out her CRT talking points for the falsehoods they are immediately. Whoopi (shockingly) made a good point that the "affirmative action" smear better applies to Amy Coney Barrett, considering how she was rushed through and how she's less qualified than anyone else on the bench. While on the subject of things I agreed with, there was also Joy pegging those senators as having more of a non-education position than simply an anti-education one since they're opposed to history and critical thought outright.

At least where I am, ABC News interrupted at the perfect moment when Whoopi started her end-of-topic routine. As soon as she said "Here's the thing!" (twice, in fact) and took a breath, the 5-4-3 countdown to breaking news started, lol.

The guest needs to stick to co-hosting with reality TV stars, this ain't for her.

Except that in this very same episode she criticized the very much Black Clarence Thomas.    

Plenty of others, too, over the years. Van Jones comes to mind.

I have a feeling she wouldn't have much nice to say about today's (Black) guest co-host either.

It's her insistence (whether right or wrong) that she's always right, even when it's her experience. We all have different experiences related to different subjects, and that's expected. Just don't sit there and try to convince me to the point of arguing that you're always right and I'm always wrong. A good debate doesn't work that way.

When Lindsey said the Republican party was the party in favor of education I thought is she for fucking real.  As Joy said they are the party that has wanted to defund education for years and the leader of their party did say he loved the uneducated.  I honestly don't know how she kept a straight face telling the half truths, misinformation and other garbage that was coming out of her mouth.  The only nice thing I have to say about her is her baby was cute as a button.

I don't watch The View often and I see that Sunny hasn't changed one bit. She has such a smug look on her face most of the time and gives off the attitude that she knows everything and anyone that doesn't agree with her knows nothing.  She doesn't handle diversity of opinion very well. Even though she claims she is a democrat, I think Sunny is a socialist. She agrees with AOC nearly 100% of the time, and AOC has said she is a socialist.  Sunny is a very annoying.

[Bronzedog]

 Can’t take it.  See you tomorrow.

Sunny does have a bit of an ego and, I agree, she isn’t always right. But I’d say 8 times out of 10, she usually is... She’s probably the only one on the show who actually comes prepared with the facts on hand to read aloud.

[TheGreenKnight]

Whoopi could've been talking about the guest when she said it isn't even the question, it's the tone. And said guest kept insisting the questions asked of Jackson had substance--hilarious!

Sunny even defended Jussie Smollet. I didn't watch the show, but I heard that she gave him a pass. I have a feeling if Jussie was a different race, Sunny would have agreed with the sentence. She is very, very biased in her opinions.

[TheGreenKnight]

Sara had the best comments in the first segment actually, by pointing out that religion was relevant to ACB's nomination considering there were questions her religious extremism would be used to subvert the law and ban equal rights (abortion, same-sex marriage, etc.) simply because she disagrees based on her religion regardless of the law and precedent. Whereas, as Sara said, bringing up religion here with Jackson where it has no relevance to anything, only an attempt to paint her as if she's not a Christian or something when she is.

Sunny was great in the second segment, deliberately calling out the guest for parroting racist talking points. They might as well have Stacey Dash on the show, lol.

[Rightside]

This guest co-host talks so LOUD and so FAST.

I had to turn down the volume on my TV when she spoke, then my head hurt and I turned the show off.

I was done after watching two segments, and fast forwarding through most of Sunny and Sara.
