Whoopi: Oh, well, whoever started it, it's not right. *

I couldn't help thinking that she didn't appreciate Sarah pointing out that the end of the "protection" program for Haitians, etc. was initiated during the Biden administration, because making it all about Trump makes this administration sound worse.  One thing that bugs me about some of the ladies is that they don't give the whole context for events; they aren't much better than some of the media they criticize. I know, the argument is that they aren't journalists and shouldn't be held to those standards, but some people will take what they say at face value without doing any other research. 

* I'm not sure that having been given a deadline to make other arrangements when the program ends means that this is "not right". Should temporary shelter necessarily become permanent?

Nightline is 45! I remember when it started during the Iranian hostage crisis. It was a nightly update of the situation, I think called "America Held Hostage" - we all assumed it would end eventually, and the "regular" late night programming would return, but it turned into Nightline and here we are 45 years later.

I don't think they really need to try to make Trump look worse.  He's managing that all on his own.

So true. They don't need to try to make him sound worse, but they do it anyway. If they would be a little more objective and give context and background, it would be more effective (to me, at least) than constantly painting him as the worst president ever. I'm old enough to remember when other presidents were also considered to be "the worst ever", and the country is still here, no thanks to some of those guys.

I am so sick of Alyssa laughing at everything!!!!

I think it's her way of

1. Disdaining anything from Dems, including potential candidates, or when Dems  point out lies and hypocrisy of Repubs; as well as.. 

2. Trying to make light of serious mistakes made by the current administration, therefore oopsies!!! No big deal.

Not funny.

I don't believe anything she says, cuz her mannerisms and her later backtracking belies her true nature.

I want to see that movie for the dog, but damn it, it's one of those independent movies that never get a wide release and only showtimes are a billion miles away from where you live! 😭😭😭

I read the book.  I think it was Whoopi who recommended it one year for their Ladies Get Lit before they go on summer vacation.

Spoiler

It made me sad so I won't be watching the movie. 

 

OMG - the party that has been caught mishandling sensitive information is downplaying it! That never happens. Whoopi - I don't recall the exact details, so who in the Democratic party severely condemned Hillary Clinton's lax handing of emails? 

Not that the current administration is especially cautious and thoughtful in how they are doing things. This was a dumb error, and I'd be asking exactly who added the reporter to the text string, because that person is either incompetent or deliberately wanted to share sensitive information. The reporter originally thought that this was a trap, and maybe it was - it just didn't get sprung when they expected. Either way, the person that added him should be dropped - maybe fired, because you can't let this kind of thing happened.

Let's just ignore the whataboutism flying around & remember who it was that said Hillary should be locked up for the emails?

Allegedly it was national security advisor Mike Waltz. Oops. Even more incompetent and reckless is the fact they were using an unsecured platform in order to avoid record retention laws. How long have they been doing this and how do we know it hasn’t already been hacked?
