Rallymantis, at your service.

I don't often agree with Jedidiah (dumb decision to leave Red Eye for this hen party), but as re: Yates: Her job is to defend government policy. If she doesn’t want to, that’s fine. But then she can’t have that job.

And Whoopi! "Al-Qaeda"?  What, the "Hitler!" accusation been done to death?  You're better than that.  Because throwing acid in a schoolgirl's face, and proposing federal funding be cut from Planned Parenthood: NOT the same thing.

Agree with that. the more we make outrageous claims the more we open ourselves up to not being taken serious. Plenty of easy ways to criticize Trump while not giving our opposition any room to not take us seriously.

I don't know.  Tamron was so goofy on the Today Show that she's kind of hard to take seriously sometimes.  I'd see her acting the fool on The Today Show and then see her anchoring the evening news and it was strange seeing her in an adult, professional capacity.  There was something off putting about her in the dual roles.

That sounds like a description of Meredith. She was pretty serious as a correspondent at 60 minutes and then really came out as goofy and silly on the View and carried it nicely to Today but she maintained a more level headed journalistic approach to moderating when it was needed. Again not saying Tamron is the best but I think she would fit nicely. and I'm sure ABC would have other roles she could sub in for/do as well. Paula, Sara, and Sunny have multiple roles at ABC.

Whoopi is an idiot. When Joy says the ones causing violence at Berkeley are outside agitators, Whoops responds that whether you are protestors or outside agitators "you're not helping." Duh, that's the point - to discredit the actual protestors. The outside agitators wearing masks and carrying crowbars are not real protestors. They're being paid to cause damage to property and damage to the protestors' cause.

Hi everyone. I know this show and the climate has made things more tense. I'd like to remind everyone to be civil and not generalize about groups of people. Some of the posts and tone in the last couple weeks have been too heated and overtly political. It is the nature of the show's hot topics, but please remember this is a forum to snark about the The View and not about politics. Thank you.

The old Jedidiah would've asked why these "outside agitators" never showed at a Tea Party rally.

I don't think that Tamron Hall is a good replacement at all because when I used to watch the Today show - before Matt was so obnoxious to Hillary - I was struck on a few occasions, how uninformed she was and there was one incident in particular, and I don't recall it word for word, but the gist of it was that it was something that, let's say, a fourth grader would know and Tamron didn't. She came across as being very stunned and I wondered how she managed to get on a show like Today.

I wish Dr. Phil would ditch the Jerry Springer/Maury Povitch vibe that his show has somehow acquired through the years. He used to feature topical and interesting guests. Now? It's a never ending parade of white trash who can't; stay out jail, move out of their parents' basement, keep a job, stop fornicating with anyone who smiles at them and prevent pregnancies with men who are more like jailers than soul mates.

Somebody please tell the View crew that hate speech is not free speech.

Joy tried to make that point, but Whoopi wouldn't be quiet long enough. It's funny where the line has suddenly been re-drawn; hate speech would normally disqualify you for any job or speaking engagement, and now it's absolutely normal and okay again.

Whoopi was sooo annoying during that discussion.   She just shouting and repeating herself.  Is there a reason they cannot just speak like normal people?

This thread is going to be locked for 24h. We have had to remove a number of posts this week. Please watch your tone with each other and remember this is not a political news site. You can take an early weekend from The View. Posting about tomorrow's episode in other threads on this forum is also not allowed until the time is up. Take a breather please. Thank you.

Knock, knock. Anyone home?

Watched today. Reminded that I haven't missed Paula at all. Loved DeNiro. His subtle snub of Jason Biggs was amusing. Don't think I've seen DeNiro so responsive to interviewers... well, except for Jason Biggs.

Week's takeaways:

  • Thanks to Carla from The Chew, I now know how to quickly melt my cheese on a burger.
  • Only so many times to say what a sorry POTUS Trump is before becoming repetitive. But, necessary.
  • Whoopi would make some good points if she could articulate them better.
  • I like Sarah. Seems genuine, and she fills a needed niche for me. I don't find her dumb, just less committed to exhibiting alpha behavior.
  • Jedi. For awhile her sense of humor in responding to panel's reactions to her contrary comments allowed her some slack with me. But this week...

Keep up the fight View ladies, this Trump clusterf**k (tm Jon Stewart) has only just begun.

  • Love 8

Boy...Mr. DeNiro doesn't like to talk about himself now, does he? The food looked amazing - I love The Chew - but otherwise I found it kind of a nothing show. Blah. Although it was very, very nice not have Jed there so I'm thankful for that!

Closing out the week with Jason Biggs? Um...no comment.

Paula looked good. I hope they have better things lined up for next week.

Friday was nice without Airhead Sara and Jediblahblah.

It made me realize I did not miss Sara at all. I was flabbergasted to see Paula (with a bad shade of lipstick, I might add). Paula's bad, but I'd take her over Jedi any day of the year. I like my poison a little less rancid.

Although, I had to laugh when Paula made sure to say she couldn't bet because SHE's A JOURNALIST YOU GUYS and I could hear the sound of Whoopi snarling before the camera even showed her again. lol

Whoopie hates Paula. Paula challenged Whoopie, whereas, Jed does not come for Whoopie, in the same way that Paula did...lol  Paula used to get under Whoopie's skin. She used to lose her mind..

It was nice to have a Jed free day. I have never disliked a host as much as I dislike her. I'm guessing that Paula is now more of a "backup" host for when they're short a host. 

I hate the whole "guy day Fridays" thing. The whole way they talk about it in the commercials like they're headed to Chippendales is obnoxious and then they come out with Jason Biggs.

Thank you SunFun, I agree 100%!  I like Sarah too. I have followed her career ever since GMA and frankly I havent really been able to watch the GMA weekend since she left.  I cant take Paula, no offense to her, but she tries too hard, whereas Sarah is just naturally witty.  I miss the interaction with her and Dan. Too dam funny.
