So, I’m a mother to two children, my seven year old son and my one year old daughter. We’re currently in that weird cycle of sleep deprivation because school is out/toddlers don’t sleep 😂 Last night,

May the Domenech-McCain child grow up to be a radical gay socialist.

And how exactly are you and Joy similar Meghan?  Joy grew up working class.  You grew up privileged to the nth degree.  Joy is a self-made woman.  You have coasted by on your family's money and name.

I buried him and showed up to work right after.

I don't recall this.  I thought she took several weeks off.

So much for Meghan despising tell-all books.

Yes, she buried her father, and then, a mere two months later, showed up to work.  

It's all in how you look at it.  If you're a privileged white woman who has never had to struggle, you don't realize that in the rest of the world, a lot of people do suffer a loss and then show up to work right after.

Meghan is going to look so ridiculous for the examples in her book (ie. the one where Whoopi says "Girl please stop talking", and the one where Joy says "I did not miss you - zero!" after Meghan interrupted her). Anyone with access to Youtube will be able to watch those clips and see who the bratty, rude, aggressor was. 

What happened to her not being a snowflake?

I know! She expected to be treated with kid gloves because she came back from maternity leave but she was as ragey and vitriolic as ever> WTF? I see why she took down that "Tough Chick" descriptor from her Twitter bio.

From the excerpt of Meg's book:

"The second that feeling set in, it started to snowball into me thinking that everyone hated me. "

That Meghan, is what we call "self-awareness".

Another excerpt: " I felt my boobs begin to leak from lactation. "

Also from the excerpt.

After giving birth, I didn’t feel like myself. I felt extremely vulnerable. Joy seemed to smell that vulnerability like a shark smells blood in the water, and she took after it. Why was this worth it to her? I will never know. But, so much for working moms looking out for each other.

I seem to recall Meghan not wanting Abby to talk about anything child related because it was triggering for Meghan.

Joy never went after Meghan.  It was always Meghan picking at Joy and Joy defending herself.

Also from the excerpt:

 It felt like the co-hosts and staff only knew one Republican — me — and took out all their anger on me, even though I didn’t even vote for Trump.

Maybe because you defended his polices and even championed them sometimes.

"She’d triggered my postpartum anxiety..."

I thought only libs get triggered. Jr. "wrote" a book about it.

"When other women come back from maternity leave on “The View,” they are welcomed with confetti and baby presents."

That's nice. Most offices just have a baby shower before maternity leave. I've never seen confetti when someone came back.

"Call me naïve, but when I came back to work after having a baby, I expected to be treated with respect." 

Meghan, you're naïve. You sort of have to earn respect to be given it. I don't have kids, so I can appreciate the pain and work that goes with having them, but that doesn't mean your obnoxious ways are instantly forgiven.

She sounds absolutely exhausting to work with. It's nice that's she's for paid maternity and family leave NOW that it's affected her, but her tribe ain't listening.

Typical self centred Meghan.  Does she really believe she was the only Republican in their circles of friends and acquaintances?  Of course not.  But it plays better I guess to whoever she fondly imagines will buy her book.  The eternal victim.

If Meghan were truly outcasted and mistreated due to being honest about her politics, I'd feel awful for her, whether I shared her views or not. But we saw how she spoke to people every day for years. She was not nice. The women were all much nicer to her than most people would have been considering the attitude Meghan gave them. She literally joined the show making comments about Joy. You can't be nasty, pick on people, and then expect them all to love you and want you there. It's not the way the world works anywhere.

As for ripping Whoopi in the book, I'm not sure about that one.  I do think Whoopi is the main reason she's gone this season. 

And...as SO MANY of us who were talking back to our televisions:

  • Whoopi is the main reason Ms. McCain GOT the job--because of her respect for John McCain (and probably at his request).
  • Whoopi helped keep her there long after others (cohosts/viewers) wanted her GONE.
  • Whoopi saved her ass over and over.
  • I can only hope that Whoopi is the main reason she's gone: making amends to all of us.
  • It's appreciated, Whoopi.

Oh please, there was always something. Meghan used the stuff she went through while she was a host to excuse her rudeness and unprofessional behavior. There are so many people who go through so much more and bust their butts every day for money that's pocket change for Meghan.

I will give Meghan this....she does a fantastic job at being 1 sided and painting a false narrative. I just read her VF excerpt and WOW she took zero accountability of how she was The View. if I had never watched it, I would've thought "wow these women were horrible to this poor woman!" but....I watch every single day so I know the truth. The truth is not what Meghan attempts to get across. 

I know they wont talk about it but lord do I wish they'd talk about it on the show.

Meghan has always been a good reminder to me that you could have all of the money in the world, be given all of the opportunities in the world, and that at the end of the day it doesn't make a difference if you are, to the core, a miserable person. It's a shame that she seems to have had loving parents, and seems to genuinely have friends, and no one can intervene and be real with her on her lack of self awareness. I'm guessing that anyone who has tried to do so was quickly cut out of her life. She has always given off a vibe of being a deeply unhappy person to me, has she ever mentioned anything about getting therapy (seriously)? I think that everyone has a right to be angry after their parent dies, but I think that it was made worse for her because she does not seem to have a lot of coping skills for when things don't go her own way in life. I very much doubt that Whoopie was surprised when she announced she was leaving, as she claims. And obviously, we know about her problems with Abby, I resent the fact that we have to suffer through this puff piece written by someone who is admittedly friends with her.

Exactly. She literally has everything.

Health

Wealth

Connections

Opportunities

A big, loving family

A beautiful face

A husband

A baby girl

According to her, endless friends 

Why on earth is this woman so unhappy? Does she expect to live in a world where elderly parents don't pass away and your political wishes always happen? Does she want to be able to say whatever she wants however she wants because she's a strong, opinionated woman but when other people do it much more politely they're attacking? 

She's so fortunate to have the option of being a full-time mom to Liberty. She can work or not work. She can afford as much therapy as she needs. She can be a lady who lunches and just fill her days with fun. Take up all sorts of hobbies most will never have time for. The vast majority of women would kill to be in her shoes, and instead she whines that Joy Behar didn't miss her and Whoopi Goldberg got tired of her. 

I'd hate to see Meghan's attitude if she didn't have all she does. There are so many people out there who never had loving parents, don't have much family, never get married or have kids, struggle getting good work and paying bills, have all sorts of serious health issues, etc. Most of them manage to be good people and enjoy the little things in life. Meghan takes her immense privilege for granted.

Meghan McCain Reveals Best and Worst View Guests -- See Who Was 'Wonderful' and Who Was a 'D--k'

https://toofab.com/2021/10/19/meghan-mccain-reveals-best-and-worst-view-guests/

(Toofab is TMZ's sister site.)

In this excerpt, Meghan calls Nathan Lane a dick.

This quote made me laugh

"Pirro went on Sean Hannity's show that night and recalled the episode as if she'd been an innocent victim and Whoopi was insane," McCain said. "I yelled at my TV when I saw that."

She is just like Pirro thinking she's the victim of The View.

Apparently Meghan went on Hannity's show to promote her book and talk about how she "held liberal guests' feet to the fire" and was mistreated for it.  She's repeating all her lines about how its so hard to be the only conservative voice on tv, or some crazy shit like that.

Hahahaha I remember when she "took Pamela Anderson to task." Pamela owned her and did it so kindly and politely. Meghan was still not a fan and said she was planning to ask Pamela to sign something for Ben because she was his childhood crush (something like that), but she didn't want to after the interview. 

At least she gave TYT some more material.

^ That's because he's a friend of Rosie O'Donnell, a liberal. It always comes back to that for who she attempts to smear and why. She's a dutiful shill.

It's true.  Meghan is a team player.   If you aren't on her team then you are the enemy.  And she wonders why people not on her team don't like her.

They used a lot of the same words we use when discussing Meghan McCain.  Entitled.  Aggrieved.  Princess.

This audio book will get her attention but it isn't going to open any doors for her.  It's not going to bolster her image.  For those of us that watched her tenure on the View it is  simply confirming what we already knew. That she got that job because she was someone's daughter and was a snowflake unable to hold her own even though she was a self described tough chick.

She talked about it after her father died, but I don't think it worked.

So, Rolling Stone just came out with an interview that SE Cupp did with Meghan (her "best friend"...must be nice when all of these interviews are with people who are friends with you) to promote this mess, and it sounds like Meghan has been in therapy and taking anti-depressants after her husband told her she needed help after the birth of Liberty. She also does reference her bereavement leave in this interview as being "five or six weeks", but also still characterizes it as going "right back" to work, because she is "hard-ass". My employer only grants one week max for bereavement, which I think is ridiculous, and I hope that Meghan realizes that she was lucky that her employer had a more generous policy.

Because it cannot be said enough. If you call  yourself a hard ass you are not a hard ass.

The fact she thinks going "right back" is five or six weeks shows her incredible privilege.  This is also the same woman who had over three months maternity leave.  She is so out of touch with the reality of most working people, especially women.

This is what I've been thinking.  How does she think she will ever get another job in TV news?  Talk about burning bridges.  Anyone hiring her will know that she will spill all their secrets when she leaves their employ.  (Unless maybe they have her sign an NDA.)  Plus, since the View is under the ABC news division, all those people talk to contacts they have in the news industry.  Her name will be mud.

During my time on “The View,” I felt like I was being often being punished and singled out for being a conservative. I’d hear a lot of complaints that the staff, including the other co-hosts and producers, had problems with my “personality.”

What she doesn't realize that complaints about her personality had nothing to do with her being a conservative.....

I could take her complaints more seriously if she even acknowledged her role in this toxic work environment.
