Terrence is weird. 

And.... Pretentious.  Self-Absorbed.  Self-Important.  Woman-Hater.  Idiot (maybe).  I love the Fast-Forward feature and use it whenever/wherever Terrence Howard is on television.

He IS a nice-looking man and his jacket was beautiful.

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.  

Maybe Tomi's "people" should suggest to President Trump that SHE would be a good replacement for Kelly Sadler.  She seems blonder and prettier; aren't those the criteria?

[Former Nun]

Hmmmm...chickens vs. Bernie!    I love chickens. I love dogs. I love Joy.  Not a particular fan of the Shih Tzu breed.  Guess I'll have to go with Jill Stein.

LOL, she is not running.  Martha is supposed to be the judge.  They may put it out to twitter.  Martha loves chickens and English bull dogs.  It could go either way. 

I love all animals and work in dog rescue but I will vote for the chicken if I get the chance.  Chickens are my current passion.

I agree with the first part but find him to be too pretty, not manly. 

[atlantaloves]

To RCC ---- Yep, he has a lady voice and girly eyebrows. And, besides that, there is just something mentally off with him.  Oh and back to Joy and her shih tzu Bernie. Come guys, shih tzu's are the best. (trust me, I've had three boy shih tzus).  Come on give me some shih tzu love gals and guys. Sissy dogs rule!  Joy and her Bernie for the Win!

I can't agree with the first statement, but I'll go along with the second.   The current breed I love/have is the Briard (a big dog).  The breed I loved/had for 25 years was even bigger: the Great Dane.   I think I'd be tripping/falling and hurting myself and crushing the pups if I had Shihz (what's their nickname?).   I may be prejudiced.  My husband's girlfriend (while he was married to me--I thought she was merely his secretary) wanted one because she claimed she just wanted to say, "Shits-oo" when someone asked her what her dog was.  She thought she was hilarious (so did he...he married her).

To be fair. She never said that she is anti-immigration. She is anti-illegal immigration. That is a big difference that a lot of people choose to ignore.

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.

I agree, but Democrats react in exactly the same manner when it happens to them. Remember the leaks that came out from the Democrats that came out before the election? Sadly, hypocrisy is bad on both sides.

Honestly, I'm not sure why the media is making such a big deal about what Kelly Sadler said in regards to John McCain. Joy said it best: if Kelly Sadler or anyone else within the white house issues a public apology, that means Trump will have to apologize for all the stupid shit he says and for all of the people he offends on a near daily basis. In other words: it ain't gonna happen. It's horrible what Kelly Sadler said but if this administration has taught us anything, it's that Trump and his cronies can say all the stupid shit they want with no repercussions.

Just because it's par for the course with this administration being offensive and just plain rude doesn't mean there shouldn't be outrage about it.  It's the hypocrisy that is most glaring.  President Obama was taken to task for every little slight someone felt, whether it was real or not.  Even on the View Joy has had to apologize for something I thought was overblown but yet Meghan gets to be a nasty bitch offending people.

I agree but my point is many have called for this administration to apologize for a number of things and it never happens. Of course I understand the outrage but to expect a public apology from an administration that makes it a point to NOT apologize for anything is futile.

The big deal is that the White House administration is making a BIGGER deal that the horrible comments were LEAKED.  

like - saying disgusting things is not the problem - it's snitching about it that's the problem.

I agree but I guess I should clarify my original post. It's the demands for an apology from multiple pundits, politicians and those in the media that I don't understand. We see that instead of apologizing for anything, this administration pivots. In this case, they pivoted to punishing the leakers (again).

Even though the Trump administration doesn't think they did anything wrong people (especially politicians) need to speak out against them when they do something like this.  As a voter I'm paying attention to which ones who are staying silent.

She is against immigration in general and pro sending dreamers back.  The party line is to come here legally.  No one says just how that is going to look, do they?  Don't be fooled by her side stepping.

Members of his party will never denounce him because they agree with him. They just wish that he was more discreet about espousing his views. 

[CheezyXpressed]

Whoopi is kind of wrong. The US was never known as a peace making country...Canada was. (I'm not bias as I say this, even though I'm Canadian)

Damn, I don't want to keep saying that they need to know more about the topics that they speak about, but they need to know what they're speaking about. The Palestinians are not protesting the embassy. They've been protesting for a while now about being allowed back in their home land. Joy says that she knows as much as Jared about this issue, but if that's the case then why speak about it? One can argue that it gets the word out, but if the facts are not there then what's the point?

Noura Erakat was on CBS the other day speaking about this issue in a really eloquent way. I almost wish the View would have her on, just to gain more insight on this issue.

 

I also wish Joy was allowed to continue what she was going to say after saying, "So what?" She was showing Meghan that you can disagree with those in your party, but she was drowned out.

Lucky you, your country is fabulous.  The US has been seen and revered by our allies as being a peace seeking nation.  We are using war in an effort achieve this even though it cannot happen this way.  Times will change, hopefully sooner than we may think possible.  I hope Trump will be the catalyst for major changes.

Agreed there is a difference.   But based on the language that  Tomi, MM, Trump, and others use on this issue (sh!thole countries, uneducated, etc.)  the right does not do a very good job making the distinction either.    When in reality , mass immigration to America has always was based on America's need for cheap unskilled labor.    

 Tomi responded to the ladies of View's comments on her ancestry.  

http://people.com/politics/tomi-lahren-responds-resistance-genealogist-family-immigration-history/

I'm pretty sure that when Tomi's ancestors immigrated here, America pretty much had open borders to European immigrants.  There really wasn't such a thing as illegal immigration.

Meghan, don't be so dense. Chuck Schumer supports moving the embassy because he's Jewish, not because he's a Democrat. In moving the embassy at this time Trump is callously pandering to a small but vocal segment - a rather odd coalition of wealthy Jews, evangelicals and war hawks while ignoring the high number of Palestinians killed and injured. 

So glad Joy called out Melania for her nonsensical Be Best slogan. Doesn't she have staff that can clue her in?

There are also crazy evangelicals who believe that supporting Israel, no matter what,  will hasten Christ return.  They forget that the Bible is talking about a Spiritual Israel, not the physical one. He did say that his kingdom was a spiritual one and not an earthly one.

I'll be shallow right along side ya! I don't know why they keep trying new things with Meghan's hair. No one else comes out with radically different, and weird, styles daily. They have a few "stock looks" for Sarah and Sunny so they don't look the same each day, but with Meghan, it's like they are outdoing themselves to see what oddness they can create. It reminds me of my 7-year-self with my Tressy doll.

I was surprised, and gratified, to hear Meghan say that she is so angry with the Trump administration that it's difficult for her to give them credit for any wins right now.

And Trump had one of those crazies give the first sermon at the embassy. Fun fact, this pastor is notorious for his hatred towards Jews and Muslims and constantly condemns them to Hell and speaks badly about them.

"I must say" that I'm enjoying the non-screaming, non-hyperventilating, non-flushing version of Meghan.

I don't think there's a chance in hell she'll last, but it's been three days in a row, and I'm enjoying the show a lot more than I usually do.

I'm at work and won't be able to see the show for a few more hours.....I imagine Joy called Melania out for the poor grammar, right?  I like when Colbert introduced the slogan, and he just looked in the camera and said "be better" (not in a correcting way, but in a sarcastic Colbert tone).
