"The View": Half Week Thread for 1/2 to 1/4/18

[ari333]

what kills me is MM talks over everyone and then gets all riled up if someone tries to respond.

Amen! I wish that people would remember that we are the majority. Plus, not everybody in the rust belt is Conservative. Plus, the largest bloc of voters in this country are those who are eligible to vote and choose not to.  

I watched Fahrenheit 11/9 last weekend and Michael Moore made that exact point.  In almost every poll regarding just about any political issue (reproductive rights, immigration, climate change) progressives are the majority.  And yep 100 million didn't vote.  Meghan can keep kidding herself that she knows more than everyone else but she is in for a rude awakening.  And let's not forget Trump won the Rust Belt by very few votes. And let's not forget Trump was running against a candidate that a lot of voters didn't want to vote for.  A big part of being a political analyst is seeing the other side's point of view and Meghan refuses to do that.  I think she is such a poor political analyst I think her own husband's website would refuse to hire her.

[CheezyXpressed]

I still didn't watch yesterday's episode, so during a break I decided to watch some of the clips from Youtube. I just watched the Louis CK one that was almost five minutes long. After I finished there were still commercials playing on TV. Not just one, but two or three. This show has longer commercial breaks than actual segments. Why can't that change for the new year?

I heard demented wombat noises from the end of the table but didn't hear what she was saying.

Literally and figuratively....as I mentioned earlier, that lipstick is soooo bad - too shiny and slick!   ;-)

If Whoopi goes to break (she should be home since she sounds horrible) then they should come back and discuss the topic that they stopped. They use to. I mean, I remember that they did that before, right? So why are they not able to do it again here. Let Sunny finish her point and then change the topic. If it becomes emotional or whatever, then isn't that what the higher ups want?

It is so annoying. They get all lathered up and in the middle (after only six minutes of the show) it is 20 minutes worth of commercials.

We already know now that they aren't going to finish the first topic!!

I think that Whoopie does this to protect Megan. She knows that Megan will have a temper tantrum and cannot handle it when she is challenged by Joy and Sunny.

Meghan interrupted significantly less today than yesterday.   

I am going to take credit for this, as I tweeted to The View and Meghan yesterday that she interrupts  and screeches over the others and it's impossible to hear the conversation. 

You're welcome.

I'm not watching anymore either, but still hang out here as well.  It was easy to quit watching, but harder to quit reading. Probably because everyone here is likable!

The only companies I know of that close around here over Christmas is home reno companies, because most people don't want their homes under construction at that time. But they go back to work on Jan 2nd. 

Had to do a little Googling to understand the above, but I now see that Sara's pregnant again. Congrats to her!   About the chair, a similar thing happened at my sister's work. People who replaced the new mom on maternity leave kept getting pregnant.  I think they *did* eventually get rid of the chair. LOL.

I googled it as well...love Sara and super happy for her but the article I read it mentioned that Abby Huntsman was scheduled to be her replacement while on leave and now she's pregnant so now they've gotta figure out what to do. I didn't realize that Abby was potentially leaving.

When she isn't telling us she's from "Middle America." She alone knows how "the middle of the country" thinks and feels, in her own mind.

I've lived in both big- and small-town Illinois, Meghan, I'll gladly take you on about how the "middle of the country" feels. Here's a hint: We don't feel that Arizona OR New York OR Washington DC, all of which you claim as homes, are "the middle of the country."

[tinkerbell]

of course, I"m joking about taking responsibility.  But I thought Meghan started the show looking upset, scowling and looking like she had been crying. I think she was talked to about interrupting, because yesterday she was out of control.  

In the first part of the show, Meghan refused to yield to an interruption, saying "I'm still talking!"  I thought she was trying to make the point that SHE was not the one guilty of interrupting, she was the one BEING interrupted.    But then, Sunny got her right back, throwing the same words right back at her, when Meghan interrupted her.   Yeah, I do think that Whoopi saw that tempers were going to erupt, so she went to break.   But I wanted them to return to Sunny's point, which was that you don't "build a wall"  to keep out immigrants because of isolated incidents of violence.   The fact that they didn't made the argument lopsided, in favor of Meghan's point about seeing illegal immigrants as the enemy.

I heard it. That is why I find it so hard to watch Sunny and Joy try to play nice with MM from time to time. She's an absolutely disgusting person.  I rarely talk about MM looks because there's so much more to dislike about her( I think she's very pretty in some pictures) but, she looks like shit today her face looked lumpy and swollen. 

Abby,  Tucker  might be nice to you (wealthy white conservative woman) but the man is a vile pos, he actually said immigrants make America dirty.  So spare me how fucking delightful Tucker Carlson is MM can also shut it about TC.

And she told Meghan before the rest of her cohosts, according to MeMeMeMeghan, who also used this episode to mention a couple of things her other famous "friends" were up to over the holidays.  I suspect Elsa has no real friends, just acquaintances. True friends don't constantly name-drop.

I wish Meghan would share more stories about the elected offices she’s held, campaigns she’s successfully run, or, even her time as a staffer.  Oh, wait!

Meghan did say that to Joy.  Which makes no sense.  If Joy wanted or could "railroad" a Republican off the show it would be Meghan.

 

And what the fuck did Meghan mean when she said Republicans win over voters in states that matter?  Only red states matters?  Shut.the.fuck.up.Meghan.

[Rainyhawk]

Someone wondered about Abby’s husband.  I googled him and there’s not much.  He’s Jeffrey Bruce Livingston and is a principal at a large global investment group, dealing in private equities.  He also sits on a couple of boards.  The article I found estimated his net worth at 20 million.  I also didn’t realize that Abby had left the Mormon church several years ago.  So a bit of an independent thinker in some ways and at least her degree is in political science! 

 

i also wondered, after the “I’m still talking” comments by MM (and joys retort) as well as the same comment by Sunny to MM, if the producers have finally indicated that the others don’t have to tiptoe around MM’s giant ego this year.  Hope so! And why can’t they send her to speech school to learn how to moderate her voice.  I get that they like the “fighting” for the ratings, but they don’t have to allow the screeching.  If the screech level was down a few notches it would help a bit.  I’d still yell at the TV but I wouldn’t have to mute it as often.

Maybe Abby was going to do both shows, while Sara was on maternity leave.  Now they have to find replacements for both of them.

Yes!  I forgot about that.  Joy and Abby were having a nice exchange of views, and when Abby said she doesn't agrees with everything trump does, Joy asked if she agreed with SOME of what trump did.  Meghan spits out, something like, "and if she does are you going to railroad her?"  

My interpretation -  Meghan feels Joy is trying to railroad HER (Meghan), and Meghan sees it as the liberal bitch is trying to get her fired because she's a republican.  No, Meghan, it's not your politics, it's that you're an obnoxious bitch who can't listen to anyone else's point of view, and you think you're better than anyone else. 

Remember, when Meghan joined the show, she talked about how much she admired Bitsy, referred to the split-screen moment between Bitsy and Rosie O, and said she was looking forward to battling with Joy.  Meghan wants that moment so bad she can taste it.   I remember the way it was seen by conservatives was that big bad liberal lesbian picked on poor little Elizabeth.  Meghan wants to be that same victim/hero to conservatives, who HATE Joy.

Meghan blames everything negative thing thrown at her on being a Republican.  She gets a bad Uber rating it's because of her politics.  If she has to wait for a table at a restaurant it's because of her politics.  I have no doubt if and when she is canned at the View she will use her politics as the excuse. In her mind haters are going to hate simply because she is a Republican.

[JAYJAY1979]

I know people can't stand Abby... but she at least relaxes and has fun during the non politic topics. Meghan seems like a deer caught in headlights. She's almost too guarded to be on a show where you talk about a wide variety of topics. Wasn't the original concept of the show about women sitting around a table and talking about whatever came to their mind?

[bannana]

Meggie was so pissed after that first segment that she pouted through the rest of the show.

When Abby said that she and NutMeg both had two brothers who serve in the military so they see things differently, vis a vis Trump, then NutMeg went on to expand on this point and said:

The sins of Trump are not on all Republicans and Conservatives.  And especially for military families.  It is a different feeling when you have someone serving overseas and their life is in danger, than I think it maybe is for someone else, maybe it isn't, I don't know, but I will say don't underestimate how popular is he is in parts of this country, that if Democrats don't get their you know what together, he's definitely going to get re-elected, and right now, I am sorry, but some of the options you have coming up here, if it is going to be a Socialist in the vein of Ocasia-Cortez, you are not going win over the rust belt voters and there is always this complaint about the electoral process and how it works, but Republicans are better at winning the states that matter in the electoral college and if I were a Democrat I would be looking hard at how to win over the rust belt.

Then Joy and Abby said something about Nancy Pelosi and her leadership, and NutMeg interrupted Abby to snark that: no one is going to win over a rust belt voter like Nancy Pelosi from San Francisco.  Whoopi then shut that last part down by saying a lot of people in California came from the rust belt, basically pointing out you cannot paint a whole state with one brush.

So NutMeg thinks people who have military serving are more likely to what, like Trump more?  What was her point?  And on the day when the Democrats take over the house, she then decides to slam them as losers and announce Trump as the winner in the next election.  She is some political analyst.

[debbie311]

MM looks angry and miserable and she really doesn't add much to the program.  She has a hard time with people who disagree with her.  And then she clams up.  When they were talking about husbands making plans (or lack thereof) and they were all sharing their experiences, someone asked her what her experience with that was and she had nothing to say.  Said she just goes "day to day" (as in, no plans) and that she had only been married a year and had nothing to contribute.  Really?

She seems like such a moody person, she must be hell to live with.

I am not at all certain of what Meghan was trying to say, but I hope she realizes that Alexandria Ocasia-Cortez is NOT running for president.  

You have to be 35 years old! 

And when she says "states that matter" -  California , Texas, FLorida, New York, Illinois, Pennsylvania have the most electoral votes.  Not all are "rust belt"  states.  And, incidentally, the rust belt states are the ones trump won by narrow margins, and are now leaning more to democrats.

When talking about women wanting to marry men who made more money, Whoopi said something about find someone you like, and, if you have more money, share it!  Meghan answered, "separate bank accounts!  that's the key!"   She seemed to be having a different conversation than the rest of them.  Yep, I detect that she is deeply unhappy, and it's not just about her dad dying.

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. Megan, on the other hand, came in with an agenda, and only wants to discuss whatever she feels will further that agenda. So, nothing about babies (SHE doesn't have children!), popular culture (unless it's the Real Housewives), marriage (She's still a newlywed, so nothing to add there), relationships (unless it's her relationship with her sainted father, or one of her very close personal friends). Basically, she's not a very well-rounded person, and can only talk about what she (errrr or is that her husband) writes on her precious blue cards.

*Gasp* Why would Abby need a political science degree? Hasn't she also been in politics her whole life??

And funny, I was thinking the same thing about her voice today. Not only the volume, and the high-pitched screeching, but good grief, that vocal fry! She could seriously use some voice/elocution lessons. How does she expect anyone to take her seriously as a "political analyst" or even listen to her point of view when her delivery is like nails on a chalkboard?

[RedheadZombie]

So there's a lovely map of the new House, and Abby is explaining how wonderful it is to see so many women, and women of color.  Meghan has to interrupt to "shout out" for Dan Crenshaw.  I was so glad that they all ignored her.  There are 435 people there, Megs, and the topic was women!  But sure, let's call out a Republican male by name and attempt to hijack the topic.

I think the rustbelt voters are given so much import for the same reason Florida/Ohio/Pennsylvania are - the candidate who wins the majority wins the presidency.  Many rustbelt voters lack party loyalty, which makes them a particular group to cater to.  It is what it is.

Two things:

I don't need your advice or scolding on what a feminist should or shouldn't do or feel, Miss Huntsman.

Meghan, it's easy to make faces and spit out you married for love and not money when you're a trust fund baby.

Both of these women irritated the fuck out of me today.  Oh, Tucker Carlson was a perfect gentleman to me.  Of course he was ladies, you are Republican white women with powerful Republican fathers.  Give me a break!  And one said he just loved immigrants?  Did they miss the part where he said they were dirty and dangerous?  Both are privileged twits living in their sparkling little bubbles.

Megan was doing a lot of dog whistles today. Her crack about Nancy Pelosi and San Francisco is used by the right to jin up hatred against her and the city with it's large and vibrant LGBT community.  She has also become obsessed with all things Ocasio-Cortez. She is always mentioning her name, she is becoming the right's new Boogeyman. She scares the hell out of them and I love it.

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.
