Gosh, Abby slow it down!

Why is she talking so fast, as if she will never get a chance to speak again??

Meghan's at the table. To paraphrase Ross Gellar, "if you didn't talk fast, you didn't talk at all!"

Sorry...I haven't been keeping up with my reporting.   Is this Week 5 of coaching?  An expert was brought in this week to help Abby.  She's a pundint, a political analyst, and has been in politics all her life.  She's modest so prefers to remain anonymous.  This week's lesson for Abby: Speed Up that Doublespeak.  Talk faster than you think is possible and keep it up.  Do not allow yourself to be interrupted.  This is not an easy lesson, so your mentor will take you to her home state via private jet to work on this for one week...and also convince you that her state is nothing to joke about!

"but then it was repeated by non-comedians..."   this tough chick really got butt hurt

[BodhiGurl]

no that it's surprising - but Meghan whining about the stupid litter box joke - stop the madness. Shoot, I grew up in Wisconsin - endless cheese jokes - those foam cheese heads frequently seen at Packer games were an answer to being joked about. Who cares. Also a flyover state. So. What. Meghan. It was a nonsense joke - you're giving it attention... but of course you are - because then you get attention. Pffft. 

[SuzieSioux]

I thought it was interesting that Meghan was rambling on today about being a conservative first, before a Republican. Wasn't she criticising Ana for something similar months back?

A nice moment early on when Joy mentioned Trump being a one term President and Abby said something like: "I just set that up for you" or similar and the two of them looked at each other and laughed. Another of many moments that illustrate any of the problems with Meghan come from her behviour, not her politics as she likes to make out. I also have noticed that the majority of times Abby begins speaking, Meghan starts mumbling at the same time; like she can't trust Abby to say the "right" things for "her side".

I reluctantly tuned in and only made it to where Meghan starts yelling at Abby before I turned it off.  And I barely made it that far because I didn't think I would get through all of her "But can I just say something?"  "Wait - can I just say one more thing?"  "But wait, I need to say something!"  She was on fire with those.  I think she has finally killed this show for me.  Because I feel like watching is just an exercise in futility that I no longer wish to participate in.  Beating a dead horse x 1000.  Every day is just lather, rinse, repeat. 

Not to mention she she shut Joy down  with let me say something else before the jokes start up. Screw you. 

Joy should have said why does she get a clip then show one on New York  

i don’t have the energy to tweet her about being a snowflake tough girl.

my Dish Network DVR did not record The View today, and is seeing all this week's episodes as reruns. 

I just found that out too! I will have to go and restore the timers one by one. Argh!

Good grief. As Joy TRIED to explain (but was drowned out, as usual), Colin Quinn (a comedian) had a joke for EVERY State, and his show is called Red State, Blue State. It's not like Arizona was singled out and bashed, damaging the exalted McCain name. She is so ridiculous, 3 days later still defending what everyone else has already forgotten as a throwaway joke. 

Maybe it's because that deep down inside, Meghan knows she's the cat turd in the litter box that is Arizona.

Yes, I did for the rest of the week.  This is the first time the DVR has done this, it is skipping the whole week because it comes up as reruns.   I posted that in case anyone else was getting the show on their DVR this week.   

That was happening with U-Verse DVRs a few weeks ago for multiple shows. It drove me crazy. I didn't bother calling since their overseas tech support people would have no idea what I meant. There were some posts about it on their support board though. Honestly though this week of guest seem like duds for the most part with the exception of Friday maybe.

Yes.   She pretty much told Ana she wasn't a real Republican anymore.  Meghan isn't known for her consistency.   She is however known for doing whatever takes to get media coverage.   She sees all these other Republicans denouncing the Trump wing of the party and getting media attention so she decides to do it too.  My question is did she come to the decision all on her own or was it written on her blue cards?

[CynicalGirl]

I hope from now on that Ana and the others bring up the litter box joke every time MM mentions Arizona. Then watch her head explode.

Yes please! Which to be honest is far more likely to happen the more Meghan goes on and on about it. What Colin said about Florida you could argue was much harsher and Ana took it with good humour. Abby laughed at the mormon joke, Joy loved the "never trust a socialist with a summer house" joke, but no one will remember those jokes like they will the litter box one because they didn't act aggrieved by them. Meghan is really her own worst enemy.

Sunny is wearing baby shit brown lipstick and Meghan is wearing a cowbell. Very distracting. 

I actually really liked Meghan and Sunny’s outfits today. Yes, I am an “autumn.” And I also love chunky jewelry, so I missed the “cowbell” necklace when MM took it off. Now, if we could just get her to stop talking......

Born and raised in Nebraska.......we're too boring to have jokes about us.  

My grandpa loved living in Nebraska.  He only moved back east because they missed their grandchildren.  

   The only thing Megan and the senator are doing is making it look like people from Arizona don’t have a sense of humor. 

I think Abby is talking fast so she can get her thoughts in before Megan starts in again.

I'm considering donating a bag of kitty litter to our local shelter in Meghan's name along with a request that the shelter send a thank you tweet to Meg's Twitter.

[rollacoaster]

I thought Meghan looked very nice today, and, overall, was fairly calm, reasonable, and articulate. 

The guest was talking out of both sides of his mouth. I was sincerely shocked when he brought up Jesus. I can't stand the type of person who, when challenged about their BS behavior, suddenly goes all "Only Christ can judge my heart."

[bannana]

Whoopi clearly doesn't watch the Friday episodes cause she needed Joy to explain what happened.

DO IT!  See above.

Groans..........................just stopped by to say that a long with all the negatives about MM my brother walks in and says, "She is such a name dropper, ugh".  She is a name dropper!

I was intrigued about the guest.  He was talking out of both sides of his mouth and the whole Jesus thing at the end was stunning.  I won't buy his book but I might borrow it from the library.  Just him outing Kelly Ann has me sold.

See...that's what happens when her tank is full.  Wasn't she on (3) different TV shows over the weekend?  Of course, there aren't enough shows that interested to keep her busy every weekend.

Whoopi barely bothers to keep up Mon.-Thurs. when she is sitting there on the show, so..  you know, the thing is, you know... it doesn't surprise me that she doesn't bother to watch when she isn't being paid/obligated to.

It was kind of good Whoopie asked about Fridays show.  A lot of it was interrupted for some news and I never heard what Anna or Colin said. 

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if cat shelters everywhere got donations of kitty litter in megs name 😂 

[ari333]

I thought I may buy Sims' book. After hearing him on this show , NOPE. As mentioned twice above, I agree, he was talking out of both sides of his mouth.. It was odd considering the title of the book. Also, what he was saying sounded scripted and stilted to me.

MM  looked less puffy in the face

I happen to love Joy's jokes and tune in to hear them, so MM can shut it.

Collin made the litter box joke, then during the pet segment Ana said "See, AZ is a litter box and the cactus are the cats." It was funny and tied into what happened in the previous segment.

[Apprentice79]

Reductive is the word of the day.

Megan looks horrible today. 

[GoldenGirl90]

Meghan: I totally disagree with that

Whoopi: I get it. And THAT is why it's called The View.

Boom!

BTW did anybody hear what source Meghan got those statistics about medicare for all from? The stats I've seen are much different.

[1SimonMom]

Happy Tuesday

• Well even before I started watching I knew Elsa would come out with that fake smile of hers, ugly outfits which maybe on some people would not be so bad if they were not people but on her just highlight how awful she is and attitude that says I know I can do whatever I want because ABC thinks all the viewers comments against me are good for the show cause that means they are watching so therefore I am the queen of the show - ABC by keeping you may think that but the viewers know you are as awful of a person as has ever been on this show
• Abby says she wants stability and sits just like her "BFF" tries to come across as so sweet blah blah anyways if she wants stability she needs to talk to her daddy dearest and say why the F are you Russian Ambassador and as "Mormon" working for a man who is trying to destroy this country and as a god fearing man at that - I do not for a minute buy that you would vote Democrat if the person would bring stability - there is as much chance of that as me seeing 80 degrees tomorrow - FYI I live in Michigan 
• Looking at Elsa outfit again makes me realize why her and Whoopi get along so well they dress as ugly as Elsa man in the house is
• Not in even 10 minutes in and she already cuts off Joy
• Shocking Whoopi actually cut off the Princess - well hell might be freezing over although not that mean as she does with Sunny
• Ugh Ugh Ugh this conversation is about the iconic Barbara Smith - why can't Elsa just say she would go to Barbara Smith's restaurant and not add that she and her dad would go and why can she not bring up her dad again and reference his cancer - we know you remind us almost everyday he is your daddy and had cancer (Sunny did the right thing because her grandmother had Alzheimers) - why why why oh why can Elsa not bring her dad into a conversation everyday - We all know why - NARCISSIM and without her Daddy she would not have had a job at Fox and have hijacked this Show that is why
• Of course she is friends with some country singer - she has more friends then anyone, Elsa is so that person who believes those 1000 friends on Facebook are true friends - you do not have friends and if they are your friends none would want them because I am sure they are as superficial and narcissitic and only kiss your ... like Van Jones does
• On a different note there is now a thread for The Real on this site  - a show where you can have political discussions and be respectful and where the co hosts actually really are friends.  Thanks CheezyXExpressed

Have a great day and stay warm!

It was either an HMO or an insurance company.  I forget which but thought duh!  Of course they won't publish a report that shows a favorable view of the ACA.

If only Whoopi reacted like this every day . . . That's what Meghan gets for implying that Sen. Harris is going to lose just because Meghan disagrees with her.

Meghan's stats were from Kaiser Family foundation but let's not forget that the number in favor is still 56% even with the negative add-ons.

[JayD83]

None of the cohosts are here for the Starbucks guy and I am HERE FOR IT.  He needs to sit down somewhere. 

[Haleth]

If Schultz runs I hope there is a call to boycott Starbucks. 

[GoldenGirl90]

Well, at least all the ladies seem very skeptical (and rightfully so) of Howard Schultz.

If he does run, I say congrats America - Trump will almost certainly be President for 4 more years. Perhaps I'm being cynical or dramatic but history has already written this book and we know how it ends.

As I said yesterday, he can go fuck right off if he decides to run.

I'm here for this, too.

Howard Schultz: No one wants to see him [Trump] fired more than me

Joy: And nobody wants to see you run more than him

LMAOOOOOO Joy! Girl, yasssss! SO true. 

Edited January 29, 2019 by Alexis2291

[merriebreeze]

Joy's not afraid to tell the truth:

"No one wants to see you(Schultz) run more than him(Trump)"

It's a good thing that the guy has zero charisma.

 

Oops sorry. Alexis beat me to it.

I think that's going to be a takeaway from today's show and not anything Megs said.

I don't think he gets far.  He will have the entire Democratic party working against him.  Bernie Sanders had a grassroots effort working for him.  I don't see Schultz inspiring that kind of following.  And not only does he have no charisma he comes across as very unlikable.

[Vanderboom]

So Meghan's conservatism is so important to her that it defines her, but when people of color and women say that their experiences define them politically, it's "identity politics" and we should move past that. Am I correct?

Does Megan even know what "identity politics" means? She repeats these talking points that are written in her blue cards and has no idea what she is saying. She is incapable of having a conversation on the fly without her blue cards..

[dr. gailey]

Please stfu Meghan. Hilary had more votes than the guy in the White House. She wasn't a flawed candidate. 

[ari333]

I wondered why they had Schultz on the show. I didn't  like him and it seemed neither did the hosts

I agreed with Whoopi (what?) that I wouldnt want to be seen on tv suffering with that disease or any disease.

Of course Meghan would quote that poll.  It fits her narrative.  It's easy to change someone's opinion of something by telling them all the negative things that  could happen.  It's like asking people if they are in favor of gun control and they say yes.  And then you say well what if your guns were confiscated.  Of course their opinion will change.
