She either is trying to play off semantics or she's too stupid to realize how poorly timed, irrelevant and unnecessary her comment was. She consistently makes comments that are far off the context of the topic they are discussing and whether she intended to make the comparison or not, she needs to be held accountable for it because the assumption should always be that your points can be traced back to the original story and lend credence to the topic. How are you getting paid to be a panel member talking about news stories and you don't know how to keep your opinions and points relevant to the overarching story? When the conversation is about bomb threats and Sunny talks about the fish stinking from its head, her opinion is providing the context that the rhetoric from the White House is inspiring this type of behaviour because they have framed these very targets as 'enemies' and it seems unlikely that the threats and targets were merely coincidence. Is it relevant to the topic of bomb threats? Yes, it very much is because it reasons why this is happening. When Joy says that no one in the party is stepping up and speaking and asking where is Mitch MccConnell, she's providing the context that these things are happening because people within the administration are being silent in public which is enabling behaviour. People aren't seeing that dangerous rhetoric being intercepted by important and high ranking Republicans. It is relevant to the topic? Yes, it very much is. Meghan's response very much read as a comparison even though it wasn't semantically framed that way, but I don't even care about that - what I would call her out on is that her response was such an insult to the gravity of the situation. She knew damn well why Joy was calling for McConnell and instead of acknowledging that he should step up and say something or defend what he may have said to date, she throws out this ridiculous, irrelevant comment that reads so dismissively that it just made it seem like she was making a mockery of a very horrifying headline. 

Edit: Case in point - is her NYC reference supposed to be a riddle? How does it make real sense in the context of the rest of that tweet? It doesn't. Should I guess that it's an inference that because she's associated to NYC that she of all people wouldn't take a bomb threat lightly? See, I"m left guessing what she could mean because she ain't bright enough to express her thoughts in a thoughtful and coherent manner.

NO, I mean what I said.  I didn't say 499 wasn't a lot. what I said was   that Less than 500 isn't NECESSARILY a lot.   Meaning it COULD be a lot, or it could be much less than a lot.  If you see the interview, you can see that it was all joking around: 

Mayer slept with less than 500 women

"blink if you've slept with more than 800 women"  he doesn't blink.   "Blink if you've slept with more than 500". He doesn't blink.  then he jokes that his number is "sub-500."   To interpret that as a certain number doesn't make sense.  the question was whether it was over or under 500, and his answer was under.

^^^^  x 1000  ^^^^  Exactly!!!

If I had ever gone a world tour in my youth, my numbers would be significantly higher than Mayer's soft 500. So what? Who cares?

Edited October 25, 2018 by GiveMeSpace

Isn't it funny how Meghan so adamantly and vociferously asserted that she had no interest in what was going on in John Mayer's bedroom, while at the same time reflexively defending a party that adamantly and vociferously tries to legislate (and demonize) bedroom behavior between two consenting adults, or what a woman can and cannot do as a result of sexual acts that result in a pregnancy?

And remember when her "good friend" Charlotte's father Mike Pence shut down a Planned Parenthood clinic that didn't even perform abortions, but did do HIV testing and needle exchanges, which resulted in 250 people contracting HIV and the Feds had to come in and try to stem the largest localized HIV outbreak in this country in years?

How does she reconcile these two things? So proud of herself for not judging John Mayer, but how dare Jane Doe from Indiana try to get an abortion. Supports a party that demonizes her "good friend" Clay Aiken for wanting to marry and adopt children and get healthcare for his husband, and maybe even have a bakery come up with a wedding cake.

She's so defensive and inconsistent that she gives me a headache.

Unfortunately, I think this is true for way too many people who call themselves Conservative Republicans.  A former coworker was very anti-choice until her daughter started having sex (with more than one guy) and then all the sudden she was saying, "if daughter gets pregnant she WILL have an abortion."  Luckily daughter never did get pregnant, but the hypocrisy of her choices just made me shake my head.  This was a little over 10 years ago and I think it's gotten worse.  

I wonder if Meghan wasn't on TV - or in a political family - if she would be more in the middle-of-the-road like a lot of Americans.  What she says and what she does seems so contradictory.

I've always thought this.  I think she is just following her tribe except for her being in favor of LGTB rights.  Although her support of candidates who aren't in favor LGTB rights undermines that.  Since marrying her husband she has became a lot more vocal about her "conservatism".  As much as she wants to be like her father being a maverick and all Meghan sure does toe her party's line.

 

What she said yesterday defending McConnell's silence on just about everything proves she has no interest in any sort of bipartisanship.  

And by the way Meghan, if you don't want to be accused of being a heartless mean-spirited idiot stop being a heartless mean-spirited idiot.

[atlantaloves]

Oh hey, Mehgun.....now they have announced that your Uncle Joe Biden received a bomb? ? Does that affect your loose fat ass? God what a bitch. 

[Haleth]

Thanks to you all holding down the fort while I'm OOT. I actually saw comments posted equating the McConnell situation to the bombs, even before the show aired, so I'm wondering if this is a Rep or Fox talking point?  Maybe MM was instructed to use the McConnell thing as a rebuttal. And now she's the victim (not the bomb recipients) because she was called out for the false equivalency.  Poor Meggie.

Gee, I've slept with less than 500 people too.  It reminds me of the political ad saying our senator made up to $80,000 from the family's business in Mexico.  Which could mean $0 but it makes a good bad headline.

[Tosia]

Good Lord, that McCain woman is dumb! Ahem, cough, cough, videotape.

Her own words are  becoming her downfall ...no matter how many denial twitters she posts.  

And yes, Mehgun, you do talk alot and seemed absolutely giddy about drinking alcohol frequently in the past and at future events.  Trying too hard to be a cool kid will also bite you in your ample ass.

Oh, and your bestest friend and role model, "Cunty", aka Erica Jayne?  When you lay down with dogs. .................

I imagine that  the other conservative on the panel--can there be two tokens? Or does it take too much away from your victimhood and specialness?-- wholesome,  bland Abby is going to be trying her damnest to distance herself from your tawdry-ness and low class. 

I think the poster above was right when she said that TV likes dumb people cuz it gets them reactions; Mehgun will keep supplying the idiocy for you powers that be.

oh yeah.  "Apologized" for the rhetoric she spews and is "sorry" for saying she hated Hillary and calling her "Crooked Hillary" on the show.

The way Joy came out firing, I think Joy read her for filth in the morning meeting which made her walk back her comments. 

[rcc]

Damn right Joy on both points she made on the feeling of everyone in the country and the weakness of the Republican leadership. She is so smart and aware. This show is nothing without her.

[njbchlover]

OMG!!!!  How does a discussion of the suspicious packages sent and the comments made by Trump at a rally become about Megan???  And, why does the rest of the panel let her prattle on and on and on ~~ now, she's sorry about saying she hates Hilary?  Does she think that the person/people who have perpetrated this horrible thing did so because she is a Republican and on The View and makes stupid comments on the daily?  GTFOH, Megan - your ego is almost as big as Trump's!!!!  

[Apprentice79]

Sunny, you are wrong. Megan does not have character. 

Her soliloquy about her contrition for her hateful rhetoric about Hillary left me cold. She is trying to rehab her image. 

Joy was on fire today. Go Joy!

The sad thing is that the media did not do their due diligence as the fourth estate and sold us all out for ratings. The News is there to inform us on facts and not to entertain.

IMO, Megan is trying to rehab her image for image's sake.  Not because she, as a person, wants to change her thought processes, opinions, or personality.  I think she will always remain a closed-minded, loud-mouthed person.

[rickhurst3186]

Just shut-up Whoopi! 

[TheGreenKnight]

Good for Meh-gun apologizing for her comments about Hillary—even if that was nothing in the scheme of divisive and hateful things she’s said on this show, really. Still, comparing her teary response today to her uncaring response yesterday, I can only guess she only feels bad that her “good friend” Joe Biden received a bomb in the mail rather than because she cares about anyone else affected. Typical of her to only respond like a human being when something impacts her or the people in her life.

I’m glad Joy didn’t back down from what she said yesterday about McConnell, Ryan, etc. validating the sick mess that Trump spews everyday with their silence.

LMAO at Joy telling McCain she has “a healthy appetite.”

[Bronzedog]

Whoopie and Meghan both say they'll be fine if they're fired.  Sounds like a challenge to me!  ABC - the ball is in your court!

THISSSS! You beat me to it. She just had to find some way to make the conversation about HER. First off, Meghan, why did it take you THIS long to realize what you said about Hillary Clinton was abhorrent and contributed to the hateful rhetoric coming from the top? I almost threw something at the TV. Secondly, Meghan, the topic had nothing to do with you.

And no, Sunny, Meghan doesn't have "character." She waited how many months to address it on the show? And her little twitter (non) apology doesn't count.

Meghan says : "Il fight you under the table all day long over our political differences"   What "differences"  are those, Megs?   Turning away refugees at the border?  Denying healthcare to millions of Americans?  Oh, I know - tax cuts to billionaires and corporations!   

Oh - and the ONLY reason she's gong to speak up about these bomb threats is that Joe Biden was targeted.  She couldn't care less about anyone else, because, like her leader says, they are "on the other side." 

[backformore]

Sunny reads a quote about the traits a PRESIDENT must have. 

And Meghan says that "the left" should also have those qualities.  

Wait!  Is there a "left" president?   

Yeah, there was one just a couple of years ago - and he embraced ALL of those traits.    But this is about traits PRESIDENTS must have, Meghan.   Stop with this "both sides"  bullshit.  there is only ONE president right now.  

I LOVED when Joy spoke up against the GOP, and the audience cheered loudly, drowning out Meghan's "I don't think that's fair"

[GiveMeSpace]

Doesn't Meghan identify as an LGBT ally? Hmmm-I wonder what the community thinks of her shout out to Chick Fil A? She eats that shit every day, too. This explains so fucking much.

Shut up MM!

First she says "if I was Trump's advisor..not that I would be if he asked me"....that was a nice giggle for me. Who in their right mind  would seek your advice.

 

Next : what was that BS she was spouting about being sorry for saying she hated Hillary, and being more like her dad....blah blah. Get that ego in check.  As others have said, she cared only because it affects someone else she knows now and her whole tirade was me, me, ME. See how brave I am for admitting  I was mean.  Later she said she was a fierce debater. NO MM you DO NOT debate...you don't listen to the other side and all you do is shriek, throw tantrums and repeat Fox news key words and tow the party line.

 

Joy spoke after the MM show and it was night and day in class. I was moved by the way Joy said she is scared  of losing rights and freedom and then she said how people on the other side are scared as much as she is just about different things, and she was sincere about it. 

I really feel for Joy, she has admitted several times how she is truly scared and worried about what is going on in the country and you can see it in her eyes and hear it in her voice. This bomb scare has really shaken her.

Later in the show when Joy tried to discuss psychodrama and role reversals MM jumped in and rudely said how she would show up wearing a red wig and yell about those crazy right people. She got Sunny involved and they drowned out Joy till she gave up. I could not tell if she was hurt or mad. 

Sorry for rambling on, but that is what happens to my brain when RBM talks. I try so hard to wrap my.mind around the asinine things she says and I lose all train of thought.

 

One last thing. MM word of the day was vociferous. She used it in a sentence saying she was a vociferous opponent and she was right. The dictionary lists these as synonyms of vociferous :

 

blatant, caterwauling, clamant,clamorous, obstreperous,squawking, vociferant,vociferating, yawping (oryauping), yowling.

 

Perfect description Meghan!

Joy is the main reason I watch (even though this season, I feel like I'm watching out for her, rather than watching to enjoy her).

I won't mind seeing Meghan's faux apology either, just because I'm in the mood for some humiliation theatre.
