"The View": Week Of 6/11/2018

[WhitneyWhit]

She is obviously way in over her head trying to speak logically with a group of intelligent people. If you watch her entrance onto the set, she sits down without pleasantly acknowledging the audience and instead focuses on her blue cards so that she can get ready to pounce with her lame talking points, no doubt prepared by her ultra conservative husband. What pains me is that this immature, spoiled, and foul woman is taking the place of someone who could contribute to a conversation. I can't believe that I miss Jedidiah, even though I didn't agree with her politics. At least she was intelligent, genuine, and didn't scowl and twitch continuously. McCain is making it difficult for me to keep watching The View, and I resent her for that.

And most importantly, Jed appeared happy to be there and the other women appeared to like having her there. I've noticed that MM stomps out, way ahead of the other women, with her bitch face turned up to 10 while everyone else comes out in a group, smiling, waving to the audience, sometimes they're even chatting amongst each other and laughing.

[maggiemae]

Really. She stomps onto the stage with a real attitude - like I'm surely going to educate "these people" today. LOL

Like when she says rediculous things like "in my lifetime" - she is 33.

Or "as a Republican" and has been one since 2008. Yep, 10 whole years.

[backformore]

But what really bugs me is that the others, like Joy today, really try to understand what Meghan's point of view is.  And she doesn't give them the courtesy to listen and try to understand their point.  Like today with Sunny, at one point MM interrupts her to argue. Bitch, you can't disagree with her yet, she hasn't finished her sentence!

Oh, I know. I'm always waiting for her to fall off her shoes. With the skin tight spandex, I wonder how she can walk.

She is lathered up and ready for a fight before she sits down!

[Tosia]

My theory on Meh-gun's stomping, bitch face, and studying her cards today, and most days,  is that she is trying mightily to remember to say what is on the cards that hubby wore for her--even though she ends up reading them 99% of the time.   The homework must be exhausting.  I am so glad the other ladies are refuting her gobbledy gook or ignoring her immature tantrums.

She is  totally ill-suited for this show (or any other non-reality show) because she just doesn't know/understand anything substantive about politics,  current or historical.

MM must have been humored or listened to politely or never disagreed with, i.e. spoiled ---- when growing up so she is dismayed when others don't do the same now.  People were polite to her because of her family, and now the snowflake can't handle real discussion of varying views. Plus she has NOTHING to offer in the way of informed opinion.

And her spanx, shoes, and  clothes are too tight which makes her even more grouchy.

Go away MM.

That what really gets me.  She acts like everyone else is completely uneducated, unread and uninformed.  She is upset that Trump saluted the NK general, most of the country is too by the way, and yet still can explain away Trump's actions.  It is truly maddening.

[Medicine Crow]

Am I the only one anticipating Meggie going "home" to visit her Dad & Whoopie being "off" tomorrow.  Ya hoo!!!

I totally agree with this!!   She always comes out with an unpleasant expression to downright angry when she comes out.  She also doesn't attempt to even connect with the audience.  

It really bothered me that she could not seem to understand the points that the others were trying to say - ie. that 45 said he would keep our criminals, the people that the border officers are detaining seem to be seeking asylum from abuses that they have been suffering in their country of origin.  The other ladies were saying why this bullying of people without power was going on, why were children being taken away?  MM did not seem to understand the difference between criminal activity and asylum.  OR chose to not see them.

Wearing uncomfortable clothes can affect your mood - I read it on a blue card!

This girl is crying out for a pop culture show. When reality stars are on, she really participates, she doesn't need blue cards, she relaxes, she has fun. I'm sorry she feels she has to be a "political animal" - not only is she bad at it because she can't articulate her views, but she's obviously miserable. Put her on something like ET or Inside Edition or Fashion Police.

Her being a self-proclaimed political analyst is like putting me on CNBC to talk about the vagaries of the stock market. I would be reading those blue cards and praying for mercy!

She really is out of her element regardless of the fact she "has been in politics her whole life".    She did't even go to college for anything remotely related to politics.  I don't know if she wants to be a political animal because she thinks it is her birthright or she wants to please her dad or if she just thought her last name would open doors for her.  Whatever the reason she is not doing herself any favors by continuing to be a shrill antagonistic spokesperson for the Republican party.  Which by the way no one asked her to be.

Is there not someone in her life (her mother, a freind ) that will tell her she needs a new look?  Or for fuck sake can she not herself say I don't want to wear this?

I disagreed with Jed on pretty much everything and often found myself frustrated with her arguments BUT she had great chemistry with the other ladies and to this day, speaks fondly of her time on The View. Meghan has brought the whole light-hearted vibe of the show down.

I agree.  She made an offhand comment to Andy Cohen about creating The Real Housewives of Phoenix.   She played it as a joke but she wanted that as much as she wants to fuck Thomas Jefferson.  

[Coffeewinewater]

I'm going to call bs on Meghan.  She has said she doesn't want to bring her dad up all the time, Bullshit ! 

Ed Helms mentioned  that the interview with John McCain and Steve Carrell was his favorite interview on the daily show. He said this earlier this week or last week, im pretty sure on Stephen Colbert's show.  I'm sure she  knew that before the interview.  So she brought it up, don't stop reminding us who your dad is meggie. 

He who must not be named was mentioned so...

Meghan happily takes advantage of the doors opened because of what family she was born into but doesn't want to be reminded of it.  In her mind I'm sure she thinks she has earned everything she has.

 

And I agree with Joy.  Best sex of my life has been in my 40s.

From all her years watching the Daily Show?

When Meghan was talking about debating politics she was trained (yeah right) to not bring up someone's family.  Apparently she wasn't trained very well because how many times did she bring up Bill Clinton's sexual indiscretions when talking about Hillary?

Maybe she was on her high school debate team for a semester or so.  

And take it from a former high school debater -   she wasn't very good.  She never learned that you have to listen in order to dispute what your opponent says.

This is the same woman who said "no man speaks for me".  Sure Meghan.

Instead of speaking, hubby probably just writes things down on blue cards.

[JAYJAY1979]

Meghan was so cute trying to do a gotcha moment with Joy during the hall pass segment when Joy jokingly said Abraham Lincoln and MM tried to say 'a Republican Joy?!?'.. and Joy pointed out that if Abe Lincoln were alive now, he'd be a democrat.  I guess MM doesn't know her history since the Republican party of the 1860s is not the same party in values, beliefs, etc that it is today.  A lot of times I think the women don't try to argue or correct MM that much because it's too much work, etc.  Remember when Whoopi tried to help Sherri S in the early days of their co-host careers and after awhile, Whoopi just gave up LOL

[ChicagoCita]

Joy is going to be on The $100,000 Pyramid on Sunday night on ABC.

[After7Only]

During the discussion the guy who won the replican primary for Senate even though he posed in front of a confederate flag and spoke  at a white nationalist event, MM said something along the lines of the man doesn’t represent HER Republican Party.   

I don’t know how he doesn’t,  he won the primary in a State with a lot of republicans.  That indicates mainstream republicans don’t have a problem with him.  He is HER Republican Party.

Thanks for posting. I watched the Match Game/Pyramid lineup regularly for a while there, but fell out of habit. It's hard for me to watch game shows or sitcoms weekly. I do better with them in reruns.

I have dated people of a different party.  I would never date, or be friends, with anyone who is a racist, homophobe or possess any other hate filled quality.

I wonder if MM realizes that her rants will be around forever.

Hot Topics:  The sky is blue, and the sun rises in the East.

Meghan:  Well ladies, can I just say something?  As a Republican, the base is very tribal, and I'm just trying to explain how middle America feels on this topic.  My blue card says that the sky is actually a liberal bias, and the East, as in Asia, is a Godless country.  *Turns blazing red in the areas not covered with foundation*  These are my people, and I've been in politics all my life.  Did you just hear what I said??  *violent eye rolling and scoffing*

Meghan is they type of person who will make her being a Republican as relevant to every conversation. What did you have for dessert Meghan?  As a Republican I had apple pie of course.   

[backformore]

watching the Friday show - Ed Helms was in the middle of his story about Speedos.  "when they repealed the law..." and he and Joy were laughing about Chris Christie, then he starts again, "when they repealed the law..."  and Meghan says ,"can I just jump in real quick?  I grew up in my formative years watching the Daily show...…"   SHUT UP!  you have these guests on, for a few minutes, and if they come in with a funny story, shut up and let them tell it.  

Still trying to wrap my brain around Meghan, "as a republican"  was such a fan of Jon Stewart's show.   Or did she watch it just to fume and pout? 

[maggiemae]

Sigh - MM is still in her "formative years." Still.

She has learned nothing about politics from her father. 

Her goal is being mentioned on Mediaite, Buzzfeed, and the Federalist.

Just a very spoiled brat with a last name, imo.
