That was my reaction too. I've seen Kerry on a couple other shows recently where they had more time to interview her then The View usually takes to interview their guests. I may look on my DVR at the 2nd half of Thursday's show to see Ruben and Clay out of curiosity to see what they are looking like. I'm guessing RBM will be trying to take that segment over since Clay is one of her "ride or dies". Friday's Hot Topics segment should be entertaining at least if Ana is there.

Aaaccckkk - I can already see 3 days of MM crying....Mon, Tue, Fri  - heck perhaps even Thu.

[Apprentice79]

Why is Ruben coming on the show? Ruben lost his opportunity of success  by refusing to leave Alabama, he got married to some opportunist expecting to hit the jackpot and she divorced his ass when she realized that Ruben was not going to be raking in millions.  I loved Ruben and wanted him to go places with that amazing voice, but, I was disappointed..

Thank God there's a View Your Deal on Monday!  It will have been 48 hours since the last one.  Except for Thursday, it looks like bleak week.

Friday won't be bleak because of Ana 

[Gemma Violet]

I'm thinking coverage of Pres. Bush's funeral and burial will pre-empt The View for a day or two.

[ChicagoCita]

Daniel Krauthammer is the son of the recently deceased journalist Charles Krauthammer, so I'm mildly interested in seeing what he and Ana have to say on the same panel.

I've been watching old reruns of Deal or No Deal (honestly, just to see if I can glimpse Duchess Briefcase Model Meghan Markle), so I'm curious to see what changes are in store, if any. Seeing Howie will be fun.

But Meghan will try to suck up all the oxygen as usual 

[Haleth]

You just know Meghan won't be able to resist comparing her dad's death and funeral to whatever the Bushes have planned.  It will be all about her.

[JayD83]

Wow already!  Meghan needs to pack her damn bags!  Just because Joy brought up Trump did NOT mean she HAD to talk about it too!  I'm so tired of her acting like SHE controls the way conversations flow.

Also she has a NERVE to say "I'm not interested in hearing about your one voter issue!" ummm isn't that the pot calling the kettle black?  Oh, nevermind let me correct myself, she has TWO voter issues: Guns and abortion.  

[TheGreenKnight]

F*** you, Meghan. You don’t run this show or decide what other people get to say.

[CheezyXpressed]

I don't think I can handle any more of these fights and outbursts, especially if it means going to commercial so soon. It's incredibly unprofessional and you could see people in the audience not looking amused by the entire thing.

It's only because she has this disgusting notion that she has to counter everything Joy has to say.  

[GoldenGirl90]

Not even TEN MINUTES into the show and Meghan is bitching about Joy comparing something Pres. Bush did to what Trump is doing. It was so bad that Whoopi, with a pissed off face, cut to commercial break.

Alright, The View, I’m sure you guys read the feedback on sites like this one. Everyday you reach a new low when you allow Meghan to dictate what the others have to say about any given subject. Nobody cares if Meghan doesn’t like what the other hosts say - this isn’t the Meghan McCain View. When the hell are you gonna put a stop to this?!

I’m at my wits end with this childish girl.

WTF, I was thinking oh maybe Elsa was going to be nice but no she continues to show her true colors.  Not in 5 minutes in and they have to go break because Elsa the nastiest person ever to sit at the table and that says something seems to think you can not have a conversation that flows, you can only have a conversation that she dictates,  She thinks that she is in charge, Joy wanted to talk about Bush and compliment him which leads to natural conversation regarding the thing in the White House and she wants to dictate it. Meghan only respects dictators and bullies.

Newsflash ABC has not changed its letter to MMN - Meghan McCain Network - or least yet.

[Apprentice79]

Megan is beneath contempt. Who the hell does she think she is to dictate the conversation at the table? She is unbearable and she needs to go yesterday.  

[Cementhead]

The tension in the room is so bad, I can feel it all the way here in my living room.  I think I am done.  I don't need this shit on a Monday morning.  Or any morning.

[Ladyrain]

In the wide shots, NutMeg looks three times the size of anybody else at the table.  Since I'm no skinny minny myself, I should know better than to comment.  But because of what she just said to Joy - and her ultra-bitchy persona today - I am gleeful to comment on her burdgeoning size.  She's going to blow up like Harry Potter's aunt and hopefully float away like she did. 

[JayD83]

Just now, blondiec0332 said:

Bush's signing of the Clean Air Act.  Joy said if there would be one thing that could turn her into a one issue voter, it would be the environment. 

[GoldenGirl90]

Just now, blondiec0332 said:

Joy mentioned something that Pres. Bush signed into law during his time in office relating to climate change. Joy goes on to say that Trump is undoing it and that if she were to ever become a one issue voter, it’d be related to climate change.

Que Meghan the ultimate snowflake going batshit crazy on Joy.

Joy didn’t even say anything during the second segment I don’t think, and Meghan looked very red.

How much do you all want to bet that something happened during commercial break?

How is climate change considered a political issue? It's a scientific fact.  No matter what Meghan's tribe says.  Meghan herself said last week she believed in climate change.  This is all about her gunning for Joy.  Childish and petty doesn't even begin to describe her.

[Ladyrain]

What I wish would happen during commercial break is for the producer to fire Meghan's ass, give her a cardboard box with all her belongings and escort her out of the building.

That's the thing.  It ruins the rest of the entire show!  Meghan sucks all of the oxygen out of the room and turns the tone to toxic and then the rest of the show they have to fake their way through it and just get by.

In any other workplace this would be called a hostile work environment.  Companies have been sued for less than this.

[Haleth]

That was incredibly rude of Meghan to say she wasn't interested in what Joy had to stay. So much for respecting the views of people with whom you disagree as she was just complimenting 41 for a couple minutes earlier.

Oh we all know this has nothing to do with climate change and everything to do with Meghan attacking Joy in any and every way she possibly can.

Yep. It’s exhausting. Meghan’s sole position on the show is to take down a liberal, specifically Joy and she fails every time.

They were arguing as they went on break and you could see the faces of those in the audience range from wondering what was going on to "Oh this again...."

Fighting may bring in the ratings, but it's making the show unbearable to watch. It's troubling too, because it's making me nostalgic for Elisabeth. We all wondered who would be worse than her and now we have our answer. It's fine being a conservative on the show, in fact I welcome it, but it seems like if you're a blonde conservative you can't handle it.

[GHScorpiosRule]

And what was it that Whoopie said last Thursday? Something bullshit about how they all get along and are friends? I give thee EXHIBIT A, dated December 3, 2018, to refute that.

It was the Clean Air Act Amendment of 1990. When Joy complimented the late President Bush and said Tr*mp is trying to undo everything Bush 41 and Obama did and added that were she to become a single-issue voter, it would be on the environment (this is a paraphrase). 

Miss Piggy's Less Attractive sister then whined, "Can we focus on the President (i.e. HW Bush) please. I don't want to talk about Trump." There was some cross talk, but Meghan didn't let that interrupt her interruption, even though some of the crosstalk was Whoopi. She went on to blather something like, "If we're honoring a great president."

Joy tried to reclaim the floor and said, "Excuse me" a couple of times, and started again. "I want to talk the different..."

Meghan continued her interruption: "But I'm not interested in your one-issue voter [something] when the president just passed..."

Joy's voice then rose. "I don't care what you're interested in. I'm talking."

Then Meghan dialed up her shriek setting. "Well, I don't care what you're interested in, either." She sounded like a fucking fourth grader (my apologies to well-mannered fourth graders). 

Then Whoopi cut to break. That's as far as I've gotten. 

What a fucking joke she is. ABC News should be ashamed of itself for hiring this petty, no-talent hack, with the personality of the perpetually hungover.

Also, the clean Air act enacted by President Bush helped the ozone layer tremendously.

It occurs to me my last post might look like I was trying to correct @Alexis2291. I wasn't. I was just trying to expand on that post.

The faces on Sunny, Abby and Whoopi....Even though Sara's new show isn't doing well, I'm sure she's happy that she doesn't have to deal with this anymore.

HOLY SHIT!!!!!! If we ever needed someone who posts here to have attended this show, it would be for today's show! Just watching Joy lean in, getting in Meghan's face, while that twat did the same. The ABC execs are just lapping this crap up.

[Cementhead]

I love how today was being touted as a "Day of Hot Topics!" ...... except not really, because Miss Toxic ruined that by what,  11:05?  11:10?  So then they have to switch it up and go to boring, banal back-up topics on "List #2: Discuss these if/when Meghan goes bat shit cray cray again."  Not only do her co-hosts hate her, and the viewers hate her, but I am sure the producers hate her, too, because she is creating extra work for them.  They have to produce 2 shows a day.  Discuss these topics if Meghan controls herself.  Discuss these topics if she can't.

[1SimonMom]

I just went to the ABC feedback and aired my complaints and told them they are losing viewers and if they really want to see what people think they need to come to Previously TV.

What gets me if Elsa had not thought it was called Meghan McCain's The View.  Meghan the conversation without your bullying would have naturally come back to 41 but hey nothing is natural about that thing with the exception of her evilness.  

[General Days]

Just now, Alexis2291 said:

You were more accurate about what Joy said about her single issue. I was in such a rage over McCain that just that early on in my post, I'd forgotten you said what Joy's issue was, even though I quoted you where you named it.

Fucking Meghan. I hate her. I've been trying really hard not to swear online because it's forever, but I cannot stand this woman. She is terrible at the job, and she really thinks this is The View with Meghan McCain. 

I don't even know if I can keep hate-watching. I really wish Joy had walked off the set, but I suppose it is better for her (and those of us who like her) in the long run, that she didn't. Whoopi is a useless moderator, too.

I can't even do that. I've seen only two episodes since the season started. And despite reading how everyone is starting to push back on that twat, I end up deleting the week's episodes because I just can't stand to hear her screechy, immature, thin-skinned ass.

I have a feeling that when they have their little meeting before the show and review what's going to be discussed, Meghan hears what Joy (and others) are planning on saying and responds mildly.  Then when the cameras are on, she changes her tune and goes off.  I feel that's part of the reason Joy really barked back this time.  If this is what Meghan tends to do, it would not only be manipulative and grandstanding, it gives her an unfair advantage because she has time to come up with responses, while her opponents have to think on the fly and try to keep their cool.

It's also possible that Joy mentioned she was going to make this point in their meeting, and instead of protesting about bringing Trump up during their discussing of Bush, Meghan waited to blindside Joy and attempt to make her look bad live on air.

I don't think I can either.  At this point, I am actually feeling like Joy is being used as a pawn in ABC's vicious game of collecting ratings by any means necessary.   What percentage of ratings are off of people like us, who are hate-watching?  Like politics, I think this show and the network have hit a new low.  I wish Joy would walk away. 

I'm having visions of the Rosie/Elisabeth split-screen.  I really, really hope Joy is watching her back.

There is no way on earth that you can honor Pres George Bush (41) without noting the sharp contrast between him and Trump. Get real, Meghan. 

[Apprentice79]

It is the level of disrespect that she shows Joy that really bothers me. I think that Joy is done with Megan and the dinner that Megan wants to happen between Joy, herself and her husband will never happen now. Joy has never lost her cool with anybody on the show, until Megan.
