I wonder if these are pretaped. If not, I hope they ask Dershowitz about his unbelievably tone-deaf complaint about being shunned by people at Martha's Vineyard. He's one of the ones who helped set OJ free, people really should have been shunning him for decades.

The shows are LIVE this week, except Friday's episode will most likely be taped on Wed or Thursday.

I will say the rest seems to have done the ladies some good. Whoopi has been semi-coherent, insightful, and semi-sympathetic to Sunny. Meghan has not mentioned her father (yet, but has mentioned friends-of-hers and people-she-knows) and allows others to talk. Joy is less stressed, and Sara's middle-roadness didn’t seem like wussiness.

Whoopi's book recommendations were actually interesting. I've read some of them already, but the science-fiction/fantasy books sounded really interesting.

What a boring show today. This was clearly Play Nice day where everyone pretended a baby isn't sitting at the right end of the table; they didn't talk about much of anything worth talking about because that might've triggered the baby and counteracted the attempt to pretend that they all like one another. That'll last maybe two days before Meh-gun returns to her normally hateful, rude, unbearable self.

I agree everyone appears to be on good behavior, but I think it has a lot to do with the producers.  I'm thinking they gave everyone a good talking to about civility.  They also stayed clear of the type of topics that get MM going.  I specifically noticed, they did not discuss the upcoming SCOTUS pick or the story that fewer than half of the kids under 5 will be rejoined with their families by the court ordered deadline.  Both pretty prominent stories right now.  

MM couldn't help herself though talking over Joy during the discussion about Sunny's harassment this weekend.  It went on for a uncomfortable amount of time, until Joy finally gave up trying to make her point.    I really feel for Sunny's family.  That's something that would have ruined the weekend for me as well.

I read When Life Gives You Lulumons.  It's the author's best book since Devil Wears Prada.

That will be tomorrow after Trump announces it tonight.

I agree about Lululemons :)  I think the lack of Andie and very little of Miranda in the book is why I'm liking this follow up... It's a perfect beach book!

I am intrigued to see what Sara's book list will be since she's such a mixed bag.  I remember being surprised at Jed's list last year where she included 1984 by George Orwell so maybe Meghan will include some interesting choices (I bet a chick lit book will be included).

Poor Sunny! I feel so bad for her. People are out of control.  I've never been one that believed racism was gone or whatever but this stuff is getting crazier.

Sara please don't boost MM's ego.

Like Joy, I took a break from news /politics all week, because I felt like I was going mad. It was so nice and relaxing unfortunately we can't tune out because we have to be aware of everything that's happening but it really helped me.

I was actually suprised I was interested in WG picks.

Since Whoopi is dyslexic, are these books she actually reads? Maybe listens to on audio? It all seemed to be a promo rather than from her heart, except for the one about toddlers.

(And seriously, ABC? We can't see a book cover where the word "asshole" is implied on a show that quotes the alleged president as saying "shithole countries"? Seems a little precious to me.)

When they were talking about Pruitt (and his disinclination to believe in climate change or air quality), Joy tried to bring up that it's the hottest the West Coast has ever been, 120 degrees in L.A. Whoopi totally misread it as part of the reminiscing they were doing. Sorry, Joy, we knew what you were getting at.

We are not going to back to using coal.  This administration is just pandering to voters in coal producing states.  I should know.  I live in one.

Me too, girl. I hate the pandering and people acting as though the collapse of the coal industry happened just yesterday. The coal industry was told many, many years ago that the end was near and programs were put in place to help people find other jobs and they chose to ignore that and listen to those politicians who pandered to them and made promises they knew that couldn't keep. It's harsh but I have no sympathy for anyone who continues to believe these people.

 

I'm heartbroken for what happened to Sunny.

I'm so glad Sunny brought up the real reason why Kavanaugh was nominated-- his writings saying a president should not be indicted while serving or be investigated for criminal activity. That is more troubling to me than his stand on RvW.  

Dershowitz didn't sound completely insane.  He actually had some interesting points but I think he was choosing his words to fit the audience, rather than being more frank. Kind of like Kavanaugh last night. (Sara, do your homework!)

Yep, I knew Meghan would zero in on Dershowitz being shunned by the liberal elite. She loves a victim.

Not defending Alan Dershowitz in any way, shape or form but of all the questions Meghan could think to ask him, the best she could come up with is, "defending Trump and being shunned by Martha's Vineyard - was it worth it" ?! I'm no fan of Dershowitz but what a pointless question. Meghan just loves the whole "everyone hates me because I defend Trump sometimes" victim narrative. I really think she feels it proves her point about "Trump Derangement Syndrome."

Exactly. He knows what show he's on. And he had to remind everyone that he's a liberal democrat.

I'm glad Sunny brought that up, too. I've said it before, but I'll say it again: Sunny is single-handedly saving this show. Sara is completely useless and Whoopi/Meh-gun are both trainwrecks. The three of them together are basically a new iteration of Whoopi and the Whoopettes with the way they tag team the other two co-hosts and blow smoke up each other's asses. I appreciated Joy's comments today, but it's hard for her to get a word in edgewise these days since Meh-gun deliberately talks over her nonstop. I really don't know if I can make it through a second season of that vile piece of sh*t.

I don't know anything about Dershowitz. What I saw of him on the show today, he doesn't seem that bad? I loved his reaction when Meh-gun tried to call him a Trump supporter: "Oh, God, NO!" I'm sure others who know more about him are justified in their dislike though.

and we'll be back in the days when only rich women can get legal abortions, because they'll be able to travel to where it's legal.

"Back in the days" most rich women could usually get safe abortions for their daughters/themselves from a local the family doctor* relied on--if they didn't want a sudden vacation.

*Or other hush-hush referrals

He's on afternoon news panels on MSNBC and CNN ... usually the lone dissenting voice.  He always seems pissed off, so I'll be interested to see how he is on The View (it's not on yet here).
