Terrence Howard is certifiable.

Yep. He invented a new system of mathematics and logic, in which 1 x 1=2, and he calls it terryology. Add that to his domestic abuse and other violent temper outbursts,  the view would be wise to steer clear of this guy.

I have never liked the guy.  No matter what role he plays I find myself disliking the character because I just cannot stand him.

To be fair, he has had a hard life. I am not excusing his bad behavior, but, it gives you an insight into his psyche. His dad murdered somebody, in front of him, as a child. How can you not be messed up, after that..

Between the Bernie/chickens contest and the Republican guests, I'm underwhelmed, but I watch for hot topics, so there's hope. ;-)

Did MM just give credence to the Daily Mail's stories on The View? 

[GoldenGirl90]

Ugh. I don't ever want to see Tomi Lahren on my television screen again. I am so repulsed by her.

Same here. She said that Black lives matter was the new KKK. 

Megan is right, she is very popular with Trump's base, she is young, pretty and Blonde.. I think that she is vile and dangerous.  

[Ladyrain]

I haven't watched today's show yet, but based on what I'm reading, maybe I'll just delete it.  Does it have anything positive going for it?

[Medicine Crow]

Well, now we know what gives rise to Meggie's sense of humor ... being the center of attention!!!  They must have given her a "Giggle Pill" because she was really into it!!!  (I've never seen her be so "nice".)

Please tell me that TWAT wasn't a guest! She's horrible. I skipped Real Time when she was on; just as I did The Daily Show. 

[Medicine Crow]

Not a guest ... they were showing a clip of her b.s.

No, she was on Trumptv, a.k.a Foxnews, spewing her anti-immigrant rhetoric.

The fact the right is upset about the fact there was a leak and not upset about what the leak was speaks volumes about them.  I guess when you don't want to criticize the message you criticize the person who leaked the message.

[Bronzedog]

Thanks, Terrence Howard, but, I hate math and that was boring as hell. 

By the end of the week, this show will consist of, “Welcome to The View, Welcome to The View. Welcome to The View........Thanks for coming!  Enjoy whatever View you happen upon”  The end.

[Ladyrain]

Okay, so I did watch the DVR of the first half hour or so, ff'ng through Meggie's screeching.  When she raises her voice it sound like she's got a giant spit bubble caught in her throat.  Then her constant monopolizing of every single topic was just too much and I had to delete.  She's abhorrent.

[TheGreenKnight]

Joy and Sunny were on fire when they were calling out Tomi Lahren. I loved Sunny for highlighting the hypocrisy of labeling Kelly Sadler a victim while lambasting Michelle Wolff, too. They’re the reason I endure through McCain, who’s gone strangely silent. I guess if you’re trying to improve your image and you can only think of awful things to say, better not to speak at all?

[rcc]

Terrence is weird.

Oh goodie! I can delete all shows except for Friday!

Love Terrance the actor, but Terrance the man is crazy (or maybe a genius?).

[ChicagoCita]

I loved Sunny's slapdown of Matt Schlapp(sp?) trying to spin it to make the execrable Kelly Sadler "the victim."

What kind of country are we living in where a talk show host has a better moral compass than the people running the government? I pray this nightmare ends soon.

[LakeGeorg]

Sunny was feeling it today.  Loved her research.  I have to give it up to her because Whoopi can be so dismissive but Sunny just pushes on and has fun while doing it.

I've read the stories about how Terrence Howard beats women.  Skipping that interview.

I think it's in such poor taste that they did a riff on Black Lives Matter.  I think it's disrespectful.

For the immigrant issue, even though these people may not speak English all that well, many of them do have proper degrees that are not applicable here. I know someone who was a manager in one country, but when they came here to Canada they had to work at a pizza shop, because their admin degree didn't count here. It would be great for them to learn English, but when you're supporting a family you're going to take any job available.

However! And this might be an unpopular opinion, but I think I can tolerate Tomi more than Meghan if she were on the show. Meghan has shown that she can't handle confrontation and she reads her points more than actually engaging in a conversation. I feel like Tomi, while hateful, can actual have a conversation and own her thoughts and positions. I also feel like she doesn't take herself as seriously and can joke around when the need arises.  Still hateful, but she has conversation skills....

I'm surprised that Meghan wasn't as spirited during the topic of Kelly insulting her dad. Everyone on the panel showed more emotion, while Meghan, who I feel is in a difficult position, didn't really say anything. It's kind of weird when you think about it. She feels like she has to defend Trump's base, but if they can't even strongly condemn an insult like this then you don't need to toe the party line.

[Silver Raven]

I laughed out loud when Meggy said she has never lied on television.  I also laughed when she was talking about the Schlapps walking out of the White House Correspondents' Dinner to get to the after party, because, in order for her to know that, she had to have been reading the long twitter tirade against the Schlapps that Kathy Griffin wrote over the weekend.

Are you kidding me? There are people calling this woman a victim? No one is fabricating her words. It's not like her comments are classified. She wasn't shooting the shit in her backyard. She was at WORK. If you feel brave enough to make those comments at work, then don't be a coward when you're made to face the music. She can piss off. Forget an apology, she needs to feed her soul with some light because it's gotta be hella dark in there to even think what she did, let alone utter the words outline.

Tomi Lahren is a dumbass who has been given a platform because she's blonde and considered attractive and she tailors her argument to a certain base. Just because you try to re-write history and say it with conviction doesn't make it so. The day her self-righteous and deluded self disappears from my TV screen can't come soon enough. Sunny put her on blast and it was beautiful. Use her own history to expose her own hypocrisy.

I skipped the Terrence Howard interview. He seems like an oddball. I assume I didn't miss much.

It is weird.  The base has once called for her father's death, at one of the President's rally.  Her constant defense of the base boggles my mind.  She will never repudiate anybody with an R, after their name.

Absolutely agree. It is also nonsensical while simultaneously dismissing the Black Lives Matter movement. Not surprised Becky McCain is championing this.

Meghan's extensions don't match her hair. 

Carry on.

Applause for Sunny today for her research on Tomi.  How can anyone, with her history, talk this shit?  

OK now, has hell frozen over or do I see Meg backing away from her stance on immigration and agreeing more with the others on some things?  She was laughing today.  I am a little hungover, that must be it.  My children made me drink too much.  :)  They live in different states but I am sticking to my story.  

ETA. MM was pretty funny upon learning that Joy and dinner with Avenatti and didn't mention it until the sixth segment.

She sounded jealous that Joy was at a party Christy Brinkley threw.  That shows the difference between Joy and Meghan.  Joy didn't/doesn't find it necessary to name drop.

Meg is desperate to be relevant, popular and sought after.  

[ChicagoCita]

This is what Sunny was referring to about Tomi Lahren and her hateful comments on today's show. (BTW, my great-grandparents came to this county from Germany in 1891 with low skills and low education. They never did learn English because Chicago was so segregated they never had to. They had nine children and there are approximately 400 descendants. We have served in the military, gone to college, and love our country. How dare "Xenophobic Rage Barbie" talk that way about immigrants? Her ancestors would be mortified.) #resistancegenealogy FTW!

[ari333]

Clearly, Tomi's angel life is perfect and everyone else can eat shit and die.

 

That is all

[atlantaloves]

Hey guys where can we vote on line for Joy's shih tzu Bernie to win. I am a crazed shih tzu owner who has a tiny attention span. Help. 

[HoboClayton]

Tomi's time is nearly up. She's nothing but a parrot anyway. I haven't heard one original thought come from her mouth. She'll be hawking weird juices or herbs and blogging away her anger into her stupid little blog. Kind of like what Sarah Palin does now.
