"The View": Week Of 10/8/2018

[atlantaloves]

Good God, this actually makes me happy and I will remain loyal to The View even though RBM and Liver Lips totally piss me off every day. Dammmmm, they obviously have nothing better to do in the white house do they?

[GoldenGirl90]

I was trying to figure out why Melania Trump and Maya Angelou are even being used in the same sentence, went back in the thread and found my answer...

*sigh*

Yup. We’re living in bizzaro world, that’s for for sure.

[OnTime]

Just watch Friday's show.

Meghan, everything is not all about you. It just isn't.  Why do we need to see a picture of someone with John McCain?

Also, Meghan you're likely not as healthy as you think you are. You're overweight and smoke cigars to name a few. Doubt you exercise. There, you've brought some of the worst out of me.

I am concerned for YNB. Trump is vindictive and litigious and will send his team of attorneys after her if he chooses. He will also try to destroy her career. He has destroyed people for a perceived insult.

I agree with you about his vindictiveness.  I don’t see anything he can litigate. If he tries to there will be attorneys waiting in line to represent her pro bono.

Doesn't he ALWAYS threaten to sue...and rarely follows through.  His suits are generally failures.  YNB's profile will be raised if anything like this happens.

Omg hateful women. That’s why it never works women attack women and try and bring them down. I don’t care what side of the isle u r on

I am  curious whether the same would apply if a group of men on a talk show criticized another man. Do people feel men shouldn't criticize one another? 

[Bronzedog]

I've always  liked YNB, but, in the last few days, I've also really admired and respected how well she's handled all the shitcannery she's had to endure because she shared her view on a show called The View.

Exactly. There is nothing to be "jelly" of. The woman of The View are intelligent and accomplished. They are not the decorative appendage of a "wealthy" man. Looking at her social media pages that were shown during the interview, the focus was primarily on hair/makeup, clothes, and travel. Her face lit up with genuine pleasure as she looked at those pages. Yes, she was willing to play mistress, bide her time so she could marry Trump and have access to those benefits. Her greatest accomplishment was to marry a monster for wealth. I agree with YNB, Melania is not a person worthy of respect. Having the title of FLOTUS doesn't automatically confer respect. She's going to have to give up victimhood status and get out there and actually *do* the work of being First Lady if she wants us all to focus on more than her clothes.

A specific "fashion" photographer.

I couldn't rewind, because I was already out of buffer, but I thought YNB said something like "I don't respect her," or "She doesn't have my respect," or similar. Did anyone else hear what I heard (or something like it)? 

That's it EXACTLY (in case it's now missing from YouTube, etc.)

"Money Can't Buy You Class," sings the classless Countess Luann.       Melania has natural beauty and a good figure.  She may have evolved into the appearance of class because she has unlimited funds at her disposal.  Sometimes she appears to be classy...and then she makes silly* mistakes that show she may simply be selfish and entitled.

*She also has speechwriters, a spokesperson, and a staff that does everything to ensure that she appears intelligent and "classy."

I wouldn’t use the word “classy” - she’s well dressed and well groomed.  She’s more robotic than classy.  Just goes to show that you can’t buy class.

[Morgalisa]

I know I'm in the minority, but I dont consider her beautiful at all. She has very severe angles to her face and needs more softness. I dont know if that is natural or not. She wears clothes well and I like her hair.

Seeing that guy promote her inerview on The View did not make me want to tune in.He angered me and I did not watch.

Her eyes bother me.  They’re so tiny, she seems to be squinting all the time.  Very unattractive “bear” eyes.

I'm joining you in the minority. I mean, she's not physically ugly (IMO) but I would not say she's beautiful. Nor do I feel she's a natural beauty. To me she looks plastic, her face has a botoxed look to it and her eyes are starting to look cat-like, as if she's pulled a little too tight.

Plus I think she has a nasty streak to her. I think she and her husband are more a like than different , she's just more low key about it. No, I don't respect her. She comes off as a mannequin; someone that likes to play dress up and is adverse to working and actually making a difference. She made the #BeBest campaign about her and then had the nerve to say she's THE MOST bullied. I'm not even sure she knows what that means. I also think it's ironic that YNB expressed an opinion about her and Melanie's press secretary went after her like that. Being best, I guess.

[Badbea99]

I, for one, would never use the the word "classy" to describe Melania.  All one needs to do is google pics of her since she's been with Trump (I'm not referring to her soft porn shots prior to marrying him) and it's quite obvious she dressed like a hooker on the prowl (no offense to hookers).  More often than not, she looked like a hot mess on red carpets and her photo shoots were over the top obnoxious.  She loves showing herself off.  She has managed to keep herself covered up since moving to The White House but she proves money can't buy you class (or respect).

I agree with Stacee, I think she has a real nasty streak.  Brings to mind the old saying, water seeks its own level.  I think she and her husband are very well suited to each other and I don't feel one bit sorry for her for any criticism she receives.  As far as I can tell, she more than deserves any that comes her way.  Be Best.

I took issue with the women using Kim Kardashian as the example of a reality star that can make a difference. The way they said it completely ignored the fact that Kim didn't do any of the leg work. She used her resources to get in contact with the woman's lawyer and a team of people who were already dedicating so much of their time to building a case for her release along with a larger case on prison reform. Kim Kardashian used her celebrity to take the work of hardworking, nameless and faceless people and using her voice to give their work life. Kudos to Kim for using her name for something good but let's be a bit more responsible and not make comments that even infer that Kim was a one woman show. 

I completely agree with Abby about the media giving certain things too much attention in the name of keeping up. Why is Kanye in the white house or Kanye holding up an SNL audience making news on major news outlets that are supposed to be dedicated to trustworthy journalism? The media is complaining about the news when they are actively the reason that certain things BECOME big news in the first place. They complain about distractions when they help make those distractions top headlines. Keep the Kanye news to TMZ and Entertainment Tonight.

The media is largely responsible for the situation that we are in as a country.

I have to agree that they over-cover certain things.  Nobody would pay attention to nitwits if they weren't covered ad nauseum.  We don't need panel discussions on every aspect of pop culture.

Exactly!

I used to watch the Today show till they started covering the previous night's American Idol elimination as a news story. 

The media wants the biggest audience so they play to the lowest common denominator.
