Meghan and Abby can say "but we still don't know..." all they want. Duh. We know "we don't know" yet. But the fish rots from the head. He needs to tone down his rhetoric towards the media (we know that won't happen though).

I guess the fact that it was two Democrats and a network perceived to be the mouthpiece of the Democratic party is just a coincidence.  Wonder what Meghan's response was when it was Republicans under attack last year while at a baseball field.  I doubt she was saying we still don't know.

[rickhurst3186]

Thank God Whoppi explained the dog video, I never would have figured it out on my own.? And, WTH is Meggy's problem? She didn't even crack a smile at the cute dog. Zero sense of humor!

[Bronzedog]

At the beginning of the show Whoopie explained why they "all" were wearing orange, but, only Sunny and Megs are wearing orange.  Guess she thought we wouldn't notice.

 I follow Walter the bulldog  on instagram.  He always has a lot to say about everything.  He really keeps his owners in line.

[Coffeewinewater]

Omg MM voice was extra screechy during the John Meyer conversation.  Why was she acting like she was the lone wolf that didn't care how many women he slept with. It seemed like that the other women at the table just didn't see why he was sharing it.  WG and MM are so damn dismissive of topics they feel are  beneath them.

Idk John Meyer grosses me out so whatever. BTW  did anyone hear MM call herself the token conservative at table. Abby must be surprised by that. 

I didn't watch Tuesday and was very happy. 

The whoopi MM love is annoying.  If it wasn't for Joy I would probably stop watching. 

So happy Meghan and her husband are the the most patriotic couple in the country.  God I wanted to throw up. I love this country too but I've never needed to keep talking about it, as if my life depended on it. 

Ugh, this show gets harder to watch.  Yeah we can't speculate who is sending bombs to the Obama's, Clinton's and CNN. Get the fuck out of here.

Yes, but as Flake pointed ou, if all it takes is an accusation to get kicked out, then anytime a judge is to be confirmed this could happen. Is that the kind of world you would want to live in? I don’t get why the ladies just ignored that point. Flake basically said that and then two minutes later whoopi was asking the question again. I thought that Glake was pretty gracious. He could have said that he just answered that.

The point was ignored because he's suggesting setting a dangerous precedence for a situation that is an anomaly and not the norm with SCOTUS nominees. In its modern day history, there have been two accusations made. That is not frequent enough for his answer to be rational and truly applicable to the situation. It doesn't help that there were character witnesses willing to testify under oath that Kavanaugh was being dishonest with some of his answers under oath (which should be enough to disqualify his nomination) yet the investigation was purposely scoped to exclude that. So when they talk about voting for him because of his record on file, when the door was ajar to learn more about conflicting information, they shut the door and pretended it didn't exist. The women didn't owe it to Flake to acknowledge his answer because it was a cowardly answer. In fact, I found it annoying that the women were so complimentary of him standing up against Trump when his records shows he falls in line with the votes which is where it counts the most. He would be right up there kissing ass along with Graham and Cruz if he intended to seek re-election. These women constantly ask 'why is it all of the Republicans speaking out against Trump are the ones leaving or have left the administration?...I can't fathom how they haven't figured out the answer yet.

I just looked at The View's Twitter, and there's a video. Whoopi has orange shoes. And Joy and Abby are wearing orange ear rings.

[Tosia]

MM is a fool if she thinks her guns will protect her in her home.  Biological warfare. It's  horrible to consider if it happens on a large scale. 

Blech, blech, and blech to MM's macho, alpha husband who cries over Washington's letter. Glad Whoopi co-opted her brag.

The comments though... lol. 

[RHJunkie]

Did Meghan get confirmation from all of those restaurant customers who jeered Republican public servants were in fact Democrats before she made her comments about the left and how their actions fell under the category of harassment? When Maxine Waters is calling for publicly confronting politicians, Meghan feels this is dangerous behaviour but when the nasty rhetoric is coming from her Republican President and politician uncles, then her message is 'YOU be the example of what you want American to stand for'. Of course she didn't even make a comment entertaining the possibility of it being a politically motivated threat from a right winger against leftist politicians because it would totally ruin her golden child story of the Republican that was attacked during a baseball game. It's like her version of a fail safe rebuttal each time Trump and Republicans support violent rhetoric...."but remember when that Republican was killed playing baseball"...except now someone can quickly jump in and say 'but remember the stream of explosives that were intercepted against CNN and former Democratic politicians'? Oh whatever will Whatabout Meghan will do?  And what does Mitch McConnell getting heckled at restaurants have to do with his inability to stand up and disagree with Trump when he says that the media is the enemy of the people?

Kudos to you Abby - a country is only as good as its people! You don't get to ride on the waves of accomplishments from centuries ago and think that's enough to thump your chest and claim to be the best while so many of your people living in the here and now are suffering and scared.

I don't think any of the women were bothered by Mayer's number (well Sunny maybe because she's kind of prudish) but I think most of them were surprised by the number was that high but not surprised in the sense that they would think much about it beyond having to discuss the topic for the show. LOL at Meghan trying to make it about how cool she is about sex while the other women were supposedly bothered by it. Whatever gets you the audience applause I guess.

I didn't think I was having a bad day today until I saw the show and I became thoroughly annoyed with Meghan. She was her same old stupid self but I ended up watching back to back to back episodes of the show to catch up on the week and I think I'm just Meghan overload right now and my patience is pretty much filed down close to the bottom at this point. I'm never going to marathon episodes again, lol.

[athousandclowns]

Did my ears hear correctly at the top of the show MM saying she just hopes everyone can hold themselves to the standard they do on the show???  If I could only hold myself to her standards, going off to order my framed flag and constitution placemats. I'll starts screaming over everyone in the process.  Does she really think she is helping the divisiveness in the country? She only understands trumps middle Americans , I've never heard her try and understand the other side. She hates the same people as the alt right she said it herself.  The ladies of the View will unify us.

What the Hell she ingesting? 

RHJunkie I knew I was having a bad day and stupidly am watching anyway. 

[boochay8888]

Unpopular opinion I know, but I’m a John Mayer fan.  I don’t think any of the panelists understood that he is saying his “number” is significantly LESS than 500.  I do realize that the amount could swing from 2-499 but really, he said himself that it’s significantly lower. But then, that wouldn’t be worthy of a “hot topic”.

Exactly, can you imagine if it was the other way around? I could see the rallies by a certain person and the gnashing of teeth on Fox News.  Yet, the Democrats are labeled unfairly as the unreasonable dangerous mob. Projection is very funny and ironic at times.

Thank you, because I only half-listened. I heard the Mayer segment as him saying what you're saying above, because he even joked about how sad or weird it was that the person came up with a number like 500. Then the way the panel reacted made it seem like he did blink (when he didn't). I didn't feel like watch again, because I was still furious about McCain equating terrorist attacks to heckling, and Abby lecturing everyone about not speculating (when no one had been).

[TV Diva Queen]

Haven't watched yet, but did it come up that John Mayer and Andy Cohen are kind of besties?  MM was probably so jealous of JM, just for that fact alone.

Thank you @athousandclowns!  She also said yesterday that it's her birthday, Trump is President, get over it.

I just don't get how saying, twice, that she hates the same people as Trump's base, is unifying, or holding oneself to a higher standard.

Today's show was a hot  mess all around.

• Whoopi lecturing the potential bombers, as if this is going to get them to change their behaviour.
• Meggie shrieking about just about everything.
• When Joy says, where is the voice of the Republican Party, naming McConnell, Meggie laments that he and his wife get yelled at when they go to dinner.
• Abby saying she is afraid for her family, and afraid even in her home, and Meggie mocking her saying she is not afraid, she has guns, and then indicating another thing she and Whoopi have in common.
• Whoopi kissing Meggie's patriotic ass.
• Whoopi reenacting the you tube of the impolite dog that her daughter sent her, and then having to thank her daughter for sending it.  Isn't Alex in her 40s? How needy is she?
• Whatever that stupid sponsor bit was with Abby and Sunny guessing which price is the lowest, ugh!

[Silver Raven]

wtf?? Meggy said she's the only conservative on the panel?  Was Abby not sitting right there?

[Former Nun]

Dear Abby:

Do the math:  The President excoriates George Soros for funding the "caravan."   The President blasts Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton at every opportunity...especially his rallies.   The President calls the press (especially CNN) "the enemy of the people."   The President openly hates and ridicules Maxine Waters continually.   These people and this organization received BOMBS.

We don't know the angle of the threats?     Did FOX receive a threat?    

Just sit there and be a beautifully dressed pretty girl.  Life will be easier for me.

[blondiec0332]

The way Meghan defended John Mayer for having a lot sexual partners makes me think she has had more than her fair share of partners.

[whydoiwatchtv]

Haven’t been watching as much so I was surprised how long Meghan’s hair extensions are. I caught the end yesterday when that woman was “singing” and laughed my ass off at Meghan knowing the words to that crap. But when the performer and Meg hugged, their hair looked like it came out of the same bag, lol. And could someone at The View PLEASE have Meghan take some kind of speaking lessons along with a basic manners class? She is so shrill, it’s not fit for tv and she interrupts constantly. Wish there were lessons on how to not make every single thing about yourself, because she desperately needs to learn that concept. I think she needs to tone down demonstrating her super-entitled self, as well.

and

"Now, maybe I'm from some weird alternate universe, but being yelled at during dinner never caused me to come down with a case of dead."

Megan is a rabid fan of a woman (Erica Jayne) whose “dancing” and “singing” is sexually explicit and  who wears a necklace that says c**ty in large letters.  She just had to tell us, at length, it is fine with her that John Mayer has had a lot of sex (no one asked her).   But she blushes and gets nervous and jumpy when the topic comes up with the other women.   What the fuck just happened. Grief?

I wonder if Megan doesn't like to discuss sex because she is afraid of her past, and the possibility of someone outing something she doesn't want outed?  So, she shuts down the topic as quickly as she can?

Yes yes yes.  She has said too many things to have me believe she doesn't have a closet filled with skeletons.  She just the other day said something about moving in with someone she had just met.

Actually, that dog's ears perked up when the owner said "PARK," a word well recognized by humans and canines.  (Whoopi said "disrespectful.")

[Vanderboom]

One of my favorite insults from The Big Bang Theory is "yammering sphincter." For some strange reason, those words echo in my head whenever Meghan does her stupid "be the example you want to see" nonsense. To me, that is just a way to absolve the actual perpetrators, like these anti-Democrat terrorists, of responsibility.

Also: Meghan's a shitty friend. When Abby talked about the constant anxiety she feels because of the political climate, Meghan smirked that she was not afraid because guns. 1) Your friend is scared; be comforting. There are preschoolers who understand this concept.  2) Guns don't automatically cancel out bombs. 3) It's understandably scary that a person in the public eye needs to even think about how to withstand a terroristic attack, you yammering sphincter.

I hate that the co-hosts are always so misinformed. John said he was part of the "sub-500" gang, meaning BELOW 500. The co-hosts need to listen more carefully... they thought he said "soft 500" and turned the discussion into "he's a rock star, what do you expect," which wasn't the direction John Mayer meant for this discussion to take.

Another misuse of a common expression, something she does often. Not only is she not the only conservative at the table (Meghan, let me introduce you to your "good friend" Abby!), but a "token" representative is there simply for appearance's sake and never makes waves. This is the "Let Meghan Shriek Non-Stop View." She's hardly the "token" anything.

[CheezyXpressed]

Maybe it's because I'm a prude, but as a millennial who was hit over the head about the terrors of STDs I find it gross to sleep with over 500 people. I get that he's a musician and he's probably has people throwing themselves at him, but I don't think I'd ever want to be with someone with slept with that many people.

Oh, and with regards to Andy Cohen. He is no Graham Norton even though he wants to be.

Meghan meant the only "notable" conservative.  The only conservative with star power.  The only conservative who has been "in politics" since she was in the womb.   I'm sure Abby understands.

[maggiemae]

I am so totally angry at MM - remember, she is the bitch that loved saying on the show she calls Hillary Crooked Hillary and she hates her. 

[JakeyJokes]

There have been nasty John Mayer stories in the press for well over a decade (his tour bus had a "put out or get out" policy) AND if you're into astrology, he's a Libra with a Saggitarrius moon. No one should be surprised at his sexual exploits.  

Fox is already going after Joy for saying Fox didn't get a bomb, even though she quickly added "Not that I want them to". Nuance means nothing with these people. Meghan incoherently responding to Raw Story isn't helping her. Jenna Bush Hager, on another network, eloquently said last week that if you don't respond to things, people don't know about them.

[merriebreeze]

If i were to ever encounter Jeff Flake or Meghan & Ben in a restaurant, better believe i would casually walk by their table and say, "shame on you." I wouldn't shout, take their doggie bag or cause a scene, but I'd let them know how I felt about them. 

And Meghan, hell no, there's no equivalence between my behavior and planting a bomb.

She's so fucking annoying. Joy asked, "where is Mitch McConnell, where is he? He’s the leader of this party.” Meghan immediately responded, saying, verbatim, “he’s getting harassed and heckled when he goes out in public to have dinner with his wife.” She may not have outright stated that mailing bombs to political opponents is equivalent to getting heckled in restaurants, but the sarcasm and tone she used made it clear that she was trying to equate the two incidents. 

Is it stupid that protesters took McConnell's wife's left overs and threw it on the ground? IMO, yes. Is this at all comparable to almost receiving a bomb meant to seriously injure or kill a person? No.

I'm a Libra, but I must not be under a Sagittarius moon. Unfortunately.
