Yup, she's due in July. In the E News article I read, it mentioned that Sandra is 1 and Alec is 2 so she's got a stride going here. In the article she said that her and her husband are terrified but excited and that they feel like they've just figured out how to manage their 2 kids and will need to readjust once again. Didn't at all sound to me like a planned pregnancy. Were her comments after Alec or Sandra? She did suffer from depression after Alec, add to that she was very honest about how insecure she felt as a mother and feeling like she knew nothing but then realizing by the time she was pregnant with Sandra that no parent really knows what they're doing...they're all just trying to figure it out.

It was after Sandra.  It by no means meant she didn't love her kids, she always made that clear.  She just wasn't one of those people who adored babies.  I found it refreshing how clear she made it that babies are exhausting, hard work, and not a lot of fun.  So many celebrities like to portray perfection in new motherhood.

Does Megan know that there are Veterans who are Democrats. She has this narrow view of the world. 

I'm willing to bet that she ignores the existence of Max Cleland (lost three limbs) and Tammy Duckworth (lost two limbs) and their losses in combat, or somehow discounts them.   She's extremely selective in her military worship.

I am not crazy about Abby, but I think she is trying to get along, fit in and be respectful. Which she should do, especially as a younger person, and a newbie.

I'm not crazy about Abby either, she is basically harmless but she is SO PREDICTABLE.

We almost know what she is going to say before she does!

Sara's pregnant again??  I love Sara, but she maybe it very clear that she does not enjoy the baby stage and struggles to get through it because she wants the family the babies grow into.  I really respected her for this brutal honesty, and I'm surprised she's doing it again.  Isn't Sandra still a baby?

I thinks Sandra's about a year old. I'm guessing they wanted three kids altogether.

They got a late start and had so they had to have them all  close together.

Isn't Sara  in her forties or something?

edit : @RHJunkie was ahead of me :)

   No kidding. I have three grown kids who were/are in the military, and  *gasp*  they are either Democrats or Independents.  

But, to be fair, my nephew is in the Marines, and he's a Republican.

Even so, although it's a very small sampling, it's 3 to 1.

Sara said today on GMA that she's 41.

Saw Ana Navarro on Jake Tapper's show today, so she's in New York.  That's a good omen that she'll be on the show tomorrow, probably with her fiancé in tow.  (It's his birthday today.)  TMI???

Yeah. Sunny rarely makes sense to me and usually bases her opinions on emotion rather than on facts. At least she was honest by saying that she is easily offended. I give her props for that.

I give her no props because she is easily offended only sometimes.   If something doesn't hit close to home for her, she has no sensitivity and isn't offended at all.  If she were truly honest, she wouldn't characterize herself the way she does

[maggiemae]

I love Sunny.....despite some of her quirks. She is honest. Prepared - almost always reads the book or sees the tv show, film, broadway show. Nice family, oddles of friends, and chickens and bees.

She is right up there with my love for Joy and Ana - the only reason I watch.

I really don't see how Meghan can keep her job much longer. On Twitter the comments are 100 percent against her and ABC is tagged in all of them. So, they know. Maybe that's one of the reasons she is so angry, besides just being a surly bitch.

I loved when Joy snapped back and tapped her watch, and we sure go on a lot breaks. Maybe something is going on because that was extra nasty snip at Joy about railroading Abby who comes from a family of service.  She is so broken about her fathers death yet defends Trump? I don’t get it.  Guess she doesn’t hold a grudge.

“I will say” McCain seems to have quite a breakout all over her face.  Even when she answered the won’t  marry a man that makes less money discussion her response is angry.  If I’d married for money I wouldn’t have gotten through my fathers cancer/ death!! So there!

Meggie's husband's co-worker, who sadly died at a very young age, but who is not known to most viewers, got more coverage than Penny Marshall's death.

And what did Sunny mean by she thought Louis C.K.'s jokes about the Parkland shooting kids were "satirical"? I wish she would've elaborated on that. I listened to it and didn't find anything satirical about it. Did I misunderstand what she was trying to say?

It's almost like she doesn't know the definition of the word.   Then again, she does desperately want to be in the IN crowd...the showbiz IN crowd.  She misjudged.

Our local (major) newspaper carried an editor's column yesterday...a couple of his sentences I had to dispute: "Meghan McCain is getting smarter. She improves every year in a crucible filled with media adversaries. She’s been reading and learning. And it shows. You can measure her success by the growing number of shrill voices lashing out against her. They clearly see her as a threat."       https://www.azcentral.com/story/opinion/op-ed/philboas/2019/01/02/martha-mcsally-not-choice-meghan-mccain-senate/2420493002/

WTF? why didn't someone step in and stop it?

(EDIT:  Since this comment could refer to almost anything on the view, I'll clarify: this was about the high school wrestler's having his dreadlocks chopped off.)  A lot of arguing/explaining went on before the video we saw...and many DID try to stop it.   The only other option left to him was to forfeit the match; apparently it was important enough to him to allow the assault (and it WAS an assault)...under the worst circumstances.

You could tell that pissed off Whoopi too due to her body language when the camera finally switched over to her. RBM and Abby got more then enough time to talk up the future potential they thought co-worker/friend might have had. I certainly hated that Penny got so little of a mention on the show. I did find it weird that RBM and Abby's friend's parents started up a GoFundMe the day or the day after their daughter died saying they were going to start a foundation. It seemed like it was so soon. I guess they might have wanted to do it while their daughter's name was out there to more then just the bubble she apparently reported in.

Whoopi  I think shuts down the conversation so that Megan doesn’t blow her top in front of everyone. She’s protecting her. But at the same time doesn’t want to also go off on her like  she did during the commercial break when I was at the live taping. She did however go off the rails in front of the audience and the producers were tryin to block our view while calming her down. 

Whoopi and Megan went at it hard (pointing fingers, slamming the table) which caused Megan to storm off in tears.  And cry in between breaks. Mind you the other ladies seemed like they were used to this behavior because they didn’t try to comfort or talk to her .. they were huddled together laughing or on their cell phones while they kept their distance. Megan ranted in the background alone or to her makeup people.  Whoopi is protecting that.  Megan can’t handle real confrontation. She can’t seem to talk or want to talk about anything else but politics. I know every time the subject changes to something else, Whoopi literally has to pull teeth to get Megan to share her opinion. 

I noticed when I was at the show And Megan got shut down early by Whoopi yelling at her ..  she was pouty and  pissy for the rest of the it. So expect that every time she gets shut down. But you can also expect it when she first comes out already looking pissed as well.

Sunny isn't the reason I used to watch but I can say she is easily the most prepared of anyone on the panel. When she's talking politics, she seems the most factual to me because she draws on her legal background rather than relying mostly on biased poll numbers to support an opinion. She is quite conservative in many ways and can sometimes come across as judgemental but she often acknowledges her old school mentality on certain subjects and regardless of what she's sharing, she's always professional and is relatively consistent on her positions.

This is why I laugh hysterically every time she claims she's not a "snowflake," that she's a "tough girl," and that she's "barely offended by anything," because we have proof that none of those things are true and you (thankfully) witnessed it firsthand. I wonder who she's trying to convince otherwise - herself, the audience, her co-workers or all three. It's not working.

Abby shouldn't pull her hair back like that. It makes her lips look even more enormous.

Does MM have one of those word a day calendars?   

So what? the youngest congress woman was dancing in college and it was a G rated dance and she was wearing clothes. Compare that to the shit the trump has done.

heee Joy "president Coulter is running the country right now."  (heh I had a typo and typed cuntry  *snort*) my "o" letter key sticks

at least sunny got to speak today

[Apprentice79]

It is funny how Megan was decrying homophobia when it comes to Kevin Hart when she made a crack about San Francisco, yesterday.  She was also a bitch to Sunny. What an unpleasant person! there is no joy or humor in her.  She is too young to be so bitter.  Megan used a new word today in her word salad: vociferous.

The right wants to take down Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez so bad, it is actually very pathetic how it backfires on them every single time.  She is also not afraid to take them on  and she likes to throw barbs at the trolls online and Megan's former employers are the worst offenders.

They're making her a household word...thereby making sure everyone learns how to pronounce her name.

[CheezyXpressed]

Hmmm, I've noticed that Meghan will try to cosign whatever Abby says without actually saying something. Meghan kept going back to the Ann Coulter joke over and over again, while Abby tried to look for the positive and bring up work growth. It might be Meghan's view, but just agreeing without actually saying anything seems odd. 

[GoldenGirl90]

"The new Democrats coming up are HIGHLY angry."

You sure you're not talking about yourself, Meghan? You're the only HIGHLY angry one I'm seeing right now.

[Apprentice79]

The panel pissed me off with their moral outrage over that Democratic congresswoman using bad language. Why do Democrats always have to be nice, what the hell has that gotten us?  Joy was actually rolling her eyes at the snowflakes, I was doing the same.. I am really tired of the hypocrisy and double standards..

It's another woman of colour standing firm on their convictions which terrifies the other side.

Like Joy alluded to, what is the difference between with what she said and locker room talk?

Sunny didn't get the Jimmy Hoffa joke because, well......she doesn't know who Jimmy Hoffa is (was).

I had a 19yr old at my home yesterday and a different show was talking about the Lorena and John Bobbitt stuff. The 19yr old said she had never heard of the case and couldn't stop her nervous laughter as the details were being discussed on the TV. She was kinda shocked when I told her about his short lived porn stint and the name of that one movie Frankenpenis.

It just infuriates me that so many outrageous things have happened these past 2 years and this is what is making the right lose their collective closed minds.. Plus, that congresswoman's children were bullied at school for being Muslim and it was what caused her to run for office. She wanted to make a difference and be an example to her children, when you see something is wrong in your community, you do something to change it.  So what! if she used colorful language at a party for her..

Someone should ask Meghan was she offended because a woman talked like that or because a Democrat talked like that.  We have seen Meghan's Twitter. She is no stranger to "locker room" talk.

I know they have to promo the ABC shows, but enough of the 20/20 Bobbit stuff. It is history at this point. It almost made The Bachelor topic seem worthwhile. I do love that Whoopi hates The Bachelor.

Yes, she really dug in hard on the Ann Coulter/best friend thing!  Probably because she just can’t understand that people with opposing political views can actually respect each other.  She also bugged the crap out of me with the whole dig on Michelle Obama.  Meghan is so tribal   she wants to color all people of the same group with the same brush...oh, and I believe Ortasio-Cortez misspoke when she fumbled the 3 branches of Government.  Meghan tried to portray her as ignorant.

She just thought that Ann Coulter line so funny, she just had to keep saying it! And Joy is right. Coulter, Limbaugh, Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity are all just bad comics. Unfortunately, Trump is their biggest fanboy. Stephen Colbert is a genius for taking the piss out of these people for years. 

Didn't both Meg and Abby say Ocasio-Cortez didn't know the 3 branches of Government? That's a blatant lie. They should be forced to apologize for that. 

I did love Meg trying--yet again--to get a shout out for Dan Crenshaw (because wounded veteran, y'know), and failing to get a response from the audience.
