[geekburger]

Wonder what sparks the View will make this week (and headlines).

like it or not it really is a show where anything can happen (or be said)..BW should be proud!

[CheezyXpressed]

Monday is a taped show, at least according to Wonder who told us that they were taping it after her episode. We probably will get a fluff piece show then with everyone honouring MLK and black folk....maybe, but I'm going to assume that will be the case so I'll be skipping that day and watching the Real (we have a thread now!)

Wednesday disappoints me, because you know that the guests will have 3 minute segments and that's it. Why book two(three) people for the same day?

I don't know who Colin Quinn is, but I expect Meghan to give Chris Cuomo a tough question unless he mentions something about her dad.

[WonderWuman73]

Yes this Monday’s show was taped last Wednesday. I’m looking forward to Thursday’s show with Cuomo. He always has KellyAnne Conway, Rudy Giuliani and Scarramucci on his show all the time so he should be able to handle Nutmeg just fine lol

I'm hoping Cuomo does that same face when Meghan asks a dopey question.

Oh he will call someone out for being a liar right to their face.  Would love for Meghan to start spouting her questionable statistics or polls and have Chris say that is not true.

Why is MM wiggling so much on her stool?

Today's show was pre-taped after a LIVE show last week. So Megs is probably starting to go through alchohol withdrawal. 

Looks like the only show worth watching this week is Thursday with Chris. 

[WhitneyWhit]

Oh MM, you quoting Dr. King is an abomination. You are the antithesis of Dr. King's message. A hate-filled, privileged white woman who believes she knows struggle when she knows nothing of it. It's rich that you use Dr. King's quote about hate (the most overused of his quotes and most likely the only she knows) when you are one of the most hateful people I have ever seen. How many times has she stated that she hates Hilary Clinton? Or when she disagreed with Joy when she said President Obama was good man, after he eulogized her father? They should have sent her to her room before taping this episode. 

[GoldenGirl90]

I watched BlacKkKlansman a few weeks ago and enjoyed it! 

Looks like Chris Cuomo’s guest appearance is the only one I’m really looking forward to. Hopefully there’s no ass-kissing though. 🙄

MM little BS about how she says once a week I’m going to stick with love left a bad taste in my mouth. It’s a wonder she didn’t  say she had it framed on her wall. I see you Megan  

I loved  Blackkklansman/blown away about it being it being a true story! 

I used to love Colin’s show Tough Crowd.

He's pretty funny, doesn't do stand-up as much as a one-man show now, called Red State, Blue State. 

He talks about the polarization in the country, which Meghan screeches about all the time.  But he is more intelligent and thoughtful about it, in a sarcastic way.

With Seth Meyers talking about Christmas:

His one man show is great, I think they have one of them on netflix. Now HE, is a straight shooter.

I know, right? The most hateful person who's ever been on this show claiming that she always practices love not hate. What??? She is blatant in her hatred of everyone in the studio (audience included) except maybe Abby and occasionally Whoopi, when she's kissing her ass. Everyone else is beneath Princess Snowflake.

While watching a tennis match last night, I thought of Meggie when a commentator, describing the "temperature" of the match, quoted Mark Twain saying: 

"Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured."

I think Meggie is full of anger & it colors everything she says (& does).

There are times she produces venomous hate without even opening her mouth.  She slits her reptilian eyes at her victim(s) and the deed is done.

There are times I feel sorry for her...wait!  There are times I feel sorry for any other heavy-ish woman struggling to perch on that stool.  The problem is the beautiful upholstery fabric; it has no slide" factor.  If they would change to leather or another smooth surface, things would be easier.  I know whereof I speak.

She is too bitter and angry for someone who has had all the privilege she is surrounded by.  I get the impression she thinks she should have/be more.  She is rich. Has a family who I guess loves her. Has a job that most people would love.  Has never struggled to pay her bills.  The only tragic thing she has had to deal with is her father dying.  Which is something the vast majority of people have to deal with.  

Meghan honey, instead of wallowing in grief about what you lost take a minute and reflect and be thankful for what you have.

[CheezyXpressed]

So the Black Israelites ranted towards them, so these kids, who were wearing MAGA hats, decided to retaliate by mocking a Native American man. 

How does this make sense?

I agree with Sunny that the adults didn't do anything, but at the same time this shows white privilege. Was Trayvon ever given the same treatment as these kids? No, he was blasted and continues to be blasted. The kids were acting like idiots and deserve to face some punishment for it. The Black Israelites were acting like idiots too, but that doesn't negate what these kids did.

Megan learned a new word: nuance.  There is nothing nuanced about what happened to the Native American man who happened to be a Veteran from the Vietnam war.

[Haleth]

Word of the day: nuance. 

[Cementhead]

Meghan needs an entire segment to share her thoughts.  Sunny gets a couple of minutes but no, Meghan requires the entire next segment to share her opinion with the world.  Because it is that important to hear.  It's "nuanced."   Bitch, please.

Thank you, BlondieCO332.

I struggle with not wanting to hate anyone  or be mean.  It's just so annoying to watch MM for so many reasons. So:

1.  Why watch?  I loved the premise of the View to have different women with different viewpoints talking together.  Not vying LOUDLY to be right, and obscuring others' comments,  or being  incredibly rude/insulting  (to cohosts, much less the audience, or guests, etc.

2.  MM's ignorance of history/politics/vocabulary is disheartening to see when so many other capable women could do a 1000% better job.

3.  MM's lack of professional abilities or an engaging personality, coupled with her entitled arrogance is mind-boggling that she is on tv. She is empty noise.

4.  The world is her oyster for her to do good--do something specific to help the veterans, or others; not just blather on about it and accept awards on behalf of your dad. DO something worthwhile!!!!

I guess I put myself in her place and could think of a million service projects that I would love to do to help others. And MM wastes a remarkable opportunity with her (below sea level, kiddie pool) shallowness and inflated ego. 

Ok, rant over.

[rickhurst3186]

It "ruined" HER weekend? WTH????

[Bronzedog]

I didn't think Meghan had a sense of humor until she said her husband is going to look like Sam Elliot when he gets old.  HAHAHA!

 She spent the weekend texting Abby about the cretins from Kentucky.  What fun!

[GoldenGirl90]

Oh - so now Meghan gets to dictate how much time she gets to talk about a topic?

"If you want to give me time to speak about this after the break I'm more than happy to but I'm not gonna just give a soundbite," or something to that affect.

"My father" and "Arizona" have just been mentioned after the break. Shocker!

And why does she keep talking about how it affected her? Everything is about her.

Of course. It's always about her and her feelings. 

"Not accurate" is not the same thing as "wrong."

The body language of the kid in the video says it all. No PR campaign is going to convince me that he wasn't mocking the gentleman. The kid was way up in the man's face, smirking. Plus the other boys were chanting and dancing disrespectfully.

[Vanderboom]

I'm so irritated by the discussion about confrontation between the Catholic school kids and Nathan Phillips. Really, Joy? It's about getting Trump out of office? Abby and her what would MLK think? pearl-clutching was also meaningless. It's a sad day when Whoopi is the most focused person in Hot Topics. I agreed with Sunny about the chaperones and their neglect that escalated the problem.

Meghan's "nuanced" argument is because she (rightly, in my opinion) protested the way the boys disrespected a Vietnam veteran. But because "a friend of hers" is on the side of the boys, she's willing to walk that back. I just don't understand  how taunting by the Black Hebrews makes the treatment of Mr. Phillips okay.

Happy Tuesday

• Abby looks like a clown coming out of a little car. I think wardrobe is starting to dislike her like Elsa
• First truth Elsa has said that she is not a journalist - not if only she would admit to not being a analyst, a human being
• WTF Elsa trying to act like a human with her soft spoken ways, no one buys your schtick and by the way do not say you want to wait for facts and you feel bad for believing what you did about the Indian situation, how many untruths have you put out there because of your blue cards
• Newsflash you are not going to have a different opinion with whatever the Mueller comes out with because she remind us alot of your ties and I will leave at that
• Sunny is spot on with her observations, where were the chaperones and the teenager hiring a PR firm, do you all have money to hire a PR firm. yes there were many problems with the story but nobody can deny that there was a smirk like nobodys business on that face and that smirk tells you more then any video can test.  The smirk tells you what was in his soul
• Could not have a minute without something being mentioned about Elsa dad award or not.
• Lets have a week without Elsa or the View mentioning her dad - GOALS

[GoldenGirl90]

Abby: The media doesn't know it but they're helping Trump win re-election in 2020. 

I really, really hate this POV. If people are so sensitive that negative reports about Trump are the sole or main reason that they're going to vote for him again, they probably shouldn't vote at all. "Let's stick it to the liberal media and own them by voting for Trump again!" What sense does that even make?

Did they really just make Whoopi apologize to the people who were offended by her bike lane comments last week?  Really?  There were people? Sure, she was riled up and full on cray cray, but come on.  Offended by a typical Whoopi rant about bike lanes? At first it sounded like she was apologizing TO the bike lanes.  Are people just getting "offended" by EVERYTHING now?  Yes.  yes, they are.  I hate the world sometimes. 

Also, Whoopi has literally conferred to Meghan at the beginning of every segment of the show so far.  I guess Meghan gets the floor first and foremost now.  Over everyone else.  "Meghan, sweetie, is there something you wanted to say, honey?"

So by that logic the Native American vet should be allowed to go and scream at someone.

I really hate it when Megan and Abby always have to find a way to crucify the media whenever they make a mistake. Mueller never said the Buzzfeed report was wrong, just that some things were inaccurate.  Like Whoopie said we all make mistakes and it does not mean anything nefarious.  

Megan was throwing the word nuance around this morning and she does not know how to apply that word when it is warranted. What a dumbass!

I have a hard time believing Buzzfeed (and yes I know they aren't the NYT) would publish a story of this magnitude without having some verified sources.  And what makes this ironic is a lot of people who discount this story are the same people who read and believe the National Enquirer.

It's amazing right? The same people who are defending these kids, who bravely shot down bigotry by acting like fools to an unrelated party, are the same people who called Trayvon a thug and said that the Parkland kids were actors.
