We had tickets to see Jim Gaffigan in Oct but that was when he was spending all his time in NYC playing Tim Walz on SNL. The show was postponed for a year!

[Gemma Violet]

Jim Gaffigan and Jerry Seinfeld are touring together in January (10 dates).  If I lived anywhere close by, I'd be there in a second.  Love those two guys.

Geez, Alyssa is not even pretending to be moderate anymore. I’ve been defending her but no longer. She’s closed her eyes and ears to reason and is full on maga.

Good for Joe for pardoning Hunter and giving a big ol’ fuck you to America. I applauded when I heard this yesterday. 

[2JEWELL]

Alyssa has been downright giddy since trump won the election.. she has been biding her time, and it paid off for her.

Now the fangs can come out

She just blasted Hegseth and many other Trump nominees, so I think she's still fighting the good fight.

As for the pardon, two wrongs don't make a right.  Hunter was also convicted of tax evasion.  From the US Dept. of Justice website:  Special Counsel David C. Weiss’s Office | Robert Hunter Biden Convicted on Three Felony Tax Offenses and Six Misdemeanor Tax Offenses | United States Department of Justice

Robert Hunter Biden Convicted on Three Felony Tax Offenses and Six Misdemeanor Tax Offenses

"According to the indictment, Hunter Biden engaged in a four-year scheme in which he chose not to pay at least $1.4 million in self-assessed federal taxes he owed for tax years 2016 through 2019 and to evade the assessment of taxes for tax year 2018 when he filed false returns.  As alleged in the indictment, to further this scheme, Hunter Biden:

subverted the payroll and tax withholding process of his own company by withdrawing millions outside of the payroll and tax withholding process;

spent millions of dollars on an extravagant lifestyle rather than paying his tax bills;

in 2018, stopped paying his outstanding and overdue taxes for tax year 2015;

willfully failed to pay his 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 taxes on time, despite having access to funds to pay some or all of these taxes;

willfully failed to file his 2017 and 2018 tax returns, on time; and

when he did finally file his 2018 returns, included false business deductions in order to reduce the very substantial tax liability he faced as of February 2020."

He skates and people cheer because it's sticking it to the other side so to hell with accountability.  To hell with teaching actions have consequences.  Who cares if he broke the law, right?  Great examples for future generations.  Just as I could never understand how parents explain their vote for an amoral person like Trump, to their children, I don't understand how supposed law-abiding citizens rationalize a supposed public servant giving preference to his convicted felon offspring.

I never saw her as any kind of moderate. Never liked her. I stated repeatedly that just because she smiles, laughs, and jokes with the others, didn't make her better or different from the one she replaced.

I was beyond thrilled President Biden pardoned his son.

[atomic]

If Kamala had been elected I would not support Biden pardoning his son. I would have had faith that whatever happened to Hunter Biden was reasonable and within the scope of the rule of law.

However, Trump has nominated people to lead the DOJ, AG, DHS, and FBI who have vowed to carry out Trump's plan of vengeance against all his perceived enemies. It would have been idiotic of Biden to have thrown his son to the wolves under those circumstances.

Alyssa can just shove it with all her moral outrage over this while she doesn't have an ounce of the same energy for everything Trump has gotten away with or all the pardons he has abused for far more egregious crimes.

When Biden made the statement he wouldn't pardon his son I think he thought Kamala would win.  But circumstances changed and how anyone can criticize him for simply trying to protect his son from a petty vengeful man is beyond me. 

3 minutes ago, Haleth said:

Ok and what about all the promises laws Trump broke? 

All this pearl clutching is fucking ridiculous.  Their dear leader was facing multiple indictments after already being convicted of 34 indictments. But they are going to be outraged over a man pardoning a recovering addict for crimes he committed while being an addict. Crimes that are almost never prosecuted.  Crimes he was taking responsibility for before Republicans decided to weaponize the justice system.  So Alyssa and anyone else who condemns Biden for pardoning his son can STFU.

[GHScorpiosRule]

39 minutes ago, Haleth said:

Also said that Biden lied to the people. That he can't be trusted because he said he lied when he said he wouldn't pardon Hunter. Like she didn't work for the biggest crook and convicted felon and lying liar who lied and continues to lie.

Like, just STFU. Kept using ambiguous "others" who aren't so fortunate to have someone in the White House that can pardon them. Because she also has family members or whatever who had to go to jail and serve out their sentence.

For someone who worked for the White House, she is clearly ignorant how pardons work. That is, there is a process to get pardoned. Maybe should have reached out to Kim Kardashian.

And then her being so disingenuous that Republicans have the integrity to remove these unqualified nominees. Please.

[KittyQ]

About Joe Biden pardoning Hunter after repeated saying he wouldn't do that -

Whoopi: I've stopped calling these lies .... I don't know what all the pearl-clutching is about

I'm curious, what are they then, if not lies? Misstatements? Misdirection? Wink and a nod? Fibs? Has the definition of "lie" changed when I wasn't paying attention? The panel has NO problem calling everything that some people say that isn't completely accurate and valid a "lie", so does "lie" only depend on who is saying it?

I agree that Trump pardoned people who didn't deserved it, as did Bill Clinton, and other presidents. The pearl clutching isn't about the pardon itself - it really doesn't matter why Hunter was pardoned - he wasn't going to end up in Guantanamo or the Chateau D'If, after all - it is about the repeated statements that Biden wouldn't pardon him, which I think were meant to give Biden the appearance of objectivity and duty and devotion to justice which were then thrown out the window. If he had said that he would consider pardoning Hunter, at least that would be honest and I think people would understand that. 

Whoopi, it is the lying that results in the pearl-clutching.  Don't pretend you don't get that.

[bluegirl147]

You don't know that.  Trump could have used his handpicked AG to prosecute Hunter Biden for who knows what. You might think that wouldn't happen but I think Trump is capable of anything. Especially now when he knows he will never have to answer to voters ever again.

If people want to say Biden lied then fine he lied.  I put this lie in the same category as the lie that got Bill Clinton impeached.  If this is all you can get them on then you are just looking for a reason to get something, anything on them. 

 

[Shrek]

Did he actually lie or did he change his mind after the orange felon announced who he was going to make FBI director? Those saying he lied need to have never ever in their lives changed their mind about anything.

Alyssa, as I've always said, has been hedging her bets & trying to play both sides of the coin for the last 2 years & has now gone full maga, I have no doubt she lied when she said she voted for Harris so she needs to STFD & STFU or better still go & reapply her lipstick after kissing orange ass so hard it's changed colour. You're not his type until you have bleached blonde hair & puffed-up lips so stop trying to suck up to the orange cheeto's orange cheeto.

Anna's first sentence, " When I spoke with Joe Biden", " I left a personal letter on his desk", STOP IT with the everyone is my personal friend schtick, it's old, it's boring & not everyone with an ounce of fame is in your contact list. Get over yourself bitch.

Sunny has calmed down a little with the anger since the election results & is starting to make sense again, sometimes. She'll soon lose it again once his nominations are confirmed, no chance they won't be as the whole republican party is scared shitless of the retribution that will come down if they're unloyal.

Meanwhile Whoopie keeps trying not to get too upset with her "let's wait & see" attitude which you can only commend her for no matter how misguided it is.

Meanwhile, amongst all the "oh Biden lied so he's a bad man" quips the orange felon continues to put family members into key positions in your government as reward for their fealty to him. 

If someone wrote this shit in a book nobody would buy it because it's too unrealistic & just crazy fantasy.

Changing one’s mind is not the same thing as lying.

Also a reminder that Alyssa used to work for the biggest liar ever and this is how glowingly she would talk about him while he was feeding actual dangerous lies on a constant basis to the American people:

[Bronzedog]

I’m thrilled Biden pardoned his son.  Plus, he’s 81 years old.  He has nothing to lose.  He heads into retirement, it doesn’t matter what anyone thinks of him and his son is safe from Trump’s vengeance.

She'll be singing a different tune if she finds out the mild criticism she has made of him over the years has earned her a spot on the Vengeance Tour.  It doesn't take much for Herr Trump to put you on his enemies list.

She also said something along the lines that Biden has set a bad precedent.   I wished someone would of asked how?   He's not the first President to pardon a family member.   Or the first to make a controversial pardon....  

Alyssa going on and on about Biden lying... was annoying.   He explained why he changed his mind in his statement.   It was pretty clear.   Was she lying when she said the President elect was a threat to democracy and the worst thing that could happen?   She seems to have changed her mind.....

If Alyssa's family member  with a past drug problem done the same crimes as Hunter he/she would not have been charged with a crime or threatened with jail time.  That's the point she's missing.

I wouldn't be too sure that Hunter is safe from the orange vengeance tour, pardon or no pardon. He's (orange felon) hardly followed any protocol or rules up until now so there's no way he's starting now that he "has a mandate from the American people", not to mention that the SC has given him free reign to do anything he wants without any consequences.

Remember there was a settlement deal in place, which was what 99.9% (my number, not an actual statistic) of these cases would result in, but trump lackeys scuttled that and forced a trial, only to stick it to his father. Where’s the justice in that?  Hunter was all set to accept the agreed upon consequences in the settlement.

The Republicans who kept after Hunter weren't after justice.  They wanted to destroy Hunter which would have destroyed Joe.  Who has already lost two children. Yes Hunter committed crimes.  And he was taking responsibility for those crimes. Until Trump had his lackeys in Congress make a stink about the plea deal. What good was going to come from putting Hunter Biden in jail? Punishment?  Deterrent?  My theory is they thought they could nail Hunter and get him to flip on his dad.  You know for the crimes the Republicans are convinced Joe Biden committed even though there is zero evidence.

I never found Abby to bring much value to the show. Boring personality and not someone I would consider politically astute either. She was brought on to be Meghan's emotional support bestie, and never offered much outside that role, imo. 

Rachel Lindsay is also filling in today and I'm personally looking forward to her more. I really like her as a person and every time she shows up to guest co-host I think she does a great job.

The clips they showed of the press secretary were old.   They reflected the President's position at that time.    She told them over and over because the press asked her over and over.    Biden said he changed his mind over Thanksgiving, at and now the press secretary is answering the questions to reflect his current position.     Changing your mind based on new information, like the appointment of people to high law enforcement positions who have pledged to get revenge on political adversaries..... is not lying.   

[bluegirl147]

There is a huge difference between Karine Jean-Pierre telling the press what was the truth at the time and and someone like Sean Spicer (and later Sara Huckabee Sanders) telling the press "alternative facts".   When Jean-Pierre said no Biden is not going to pardon his son there was no proof that wasn't true. When Spicer told the press Trump had the biggest inauguration crowd ever there was proof that wasn't true. 

If someone wants to be mad Biden lied then be mad but let's not act like Biden is a lying liar who lies all the time.  And I read what Alyssa said yesterday.  If she thinks this is going to make people lose faith in our government telling us the truth was she in coma while she was working for Trump? Her former boss lied about everything.

This.  Quite possibly Biden sees the handwriting on the wall.  He may see that all hell is going to break loose after January 20.  Maybe some members of the media and the Democratic party need to think about this and make their own plans. I'm expecting the worst. I listened to all the Dem speeches before the election that told us we would be in dire straits if he got back in.  I don't need to wait and see.  Trump is showing us every day by appointing thugs into high government positions.

[Buckeye71034]

Look, I understand everyones frustration but Alyssa has always made it clear her opposition to trump was not policy but character and I think the scope of the loss made her feel like she was in a bubble given she convinced herself Kamala would win...she is also likely being advised by producers to represent other side more forcefully bc of trumps win. If she were to leave, they would likely feel pressured to add a full MAGA and redo Hasselbeck days so pick your poison folks.

 

If Whoopi and Sunny would be less dismissive of criticism towards Biden and dems writ large, I dont think Alyssa and Sara would be taking the devils advocate role as much. They have both been visibly frustrated dealing with Sunny. Even Ana has gotten annoyed at Sunny's stubbornness.

STFU, Abby.

And STFU to all the Democrats who are dragging Biden for pardoning Hunter.

Everyone and I mean EVERY.ONE is acting as if Biden is the first president to change his mind and decide to pardon someone. And so what if it’s his son? Abby, just like Alyssa, is ignoring the fact WHY Hunter was charged and a target. Sunny pointed it out last week and again yesterday.

As far as I’m concerned, this pardon does not in any way, change my mind about what and how I think of President Biden.

Same. He pardoned his son.  Not someone who donated to his campaign.  Not someone who started an insurrection on his behalf.  Not someone he is trying to curry favor with.  And as you said @GHScorpiosRule his prosecution was shady to begin with.  Yes he broke the law.  The gun charge is almost never applied unless the gun is involved in another crime. And that didn't happen here.  The tax thing he made right. He paid the taxes and penalties if I'm not mistaken. So why charge him after he paid the money? If Trump had won in 2020 nobody would have even been thinking about Hunter Biden let alone trying to get him locked up. He was used as a weapon against his father.

I've noticed Sara's and Alyssa's frustration with the others, too, but I see it more as a sign of their (Sara/Alyssa's) arrogance and the fact they don't even understand the show they're on. They seem to believe the other co-hosts are required to agree with their take otherwise they're being unreasonable, but this is an opinion show and the others don't agree with them. Talking double the time of the others, speaking after everyone, and making personal attacks isn't suddenly going to make them change their minds. They should accept that, they'd be less bitter.

He made a very valid point about being objective when viewing both parties and calling out errors/bad behavior even when it is on your own "team". Whoopi and Sunny kept saying, "but what about Trump doing x,y,z... Why should Biden be held to a higher standard?" Charlamagne was saying that the Democrats held themselves out has having higher standards but when they fail to meet them, make excuses and point at Trump saying he's worse. Good for him for not backing down on his opinion.

Does Whoopi really think that no one knows what she thinks? She hardly keeps her cards hidden.
