"What he said about MY father was way worse (than what he said to you)" - Megs to Chris Christie about Trump's take on bridgegate.

does she differentiate between saying something TO someone, and saying it ABOUT them?  

trump apologized for a disagreement with Christie.  If trump was going to apologize for saying things behind someone's back, like Meghan wants,  he wouldn't have time for anything but apologies. 

 

Dish Network STILL won't record The View this week.  I even set the DVR to record both new and repeats.   I bet Meghan pissed off the Dish Network, they're MAKING me boycott the show.

And Meghan isn't the one due the apology.

I beg your pardon, but as her father's sole living family member, she certainly is!

This made me literally LOL.  Someone who only knew Meghan through her tweets or her View hosting they would think that.

Well, well, well.  Thank you, Gov. Christie, for stealing the title from me. This was planned for upcoming Meghan's biography.  I must say! 

 

"I'M STILL TALKING!" is still available

What on earth is likable/likeable about Chris Christie? He hoped he could make Trump better? Please. Get off the stage. You're done.

I wish they would do this for all the guests. All that fake kissing is such a time waster.

Me too!   Of course, the producers would then be required to add actual content to make up those minutes.   Or maybe one more deal in View Your Deal.

[atlantaloves]

Hey even that Mob Boss is better than View your Deal...whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[Dahlia]

I’ve also noticed they rarely show her greeting guests not of ‘her tribe’. The camera deliberately cuts to an almost stock audience shot   Likely in her contract so she’s never in a compromising ‘Obama Christie’ love fest photo etc debacle

I particularly noticed that yesterday and wondered why. I'll bet you're right. What sort of McCain political future is she planning?

Or maybe certain guests aren't too fond of Meghan and decline to shake her hand.  I remember after the Rose/Elisabeth split screen Alicia Silverstone was a guest and she just breezed right by EH without a hug or anything.  Good times.

Star did indeed have quite an ego. But in this day and age where complete morons have huge egos and think they are far more capable, erudite and important than they are, Star had the intelligence and education to support her ego. I always enjoy listening to intelligent people give their viewpoint--even if I don't agree with it. I hate listening to people who just think they are intelligent give their views! There's a reason people have always said I don't suffer fools lightly! Some people and guests on this show would fall into that "fools" category for me.

 

I agree completely. I can listen to someone speak opposing to my views all day if they do so intelligently and make fair points to support their opinions rather than misrepresenting information in order to make their views seem 'right'.  Even if you don't change your mind from listening to someone like that, you can at least learn and appreciate your differences in experiences and beliefs and come out feeling like the experience was productive.

Mitch McConnell is against more Americans voting for the exact reason Joy pointed out: most black and brown people overwhelmingly do not support nor vote for Republicans and their policies. He's a slime ball but he's not stupid. He knows exactly what would happen. And Joy is also right about the real power grab, which was Mitch McConnell purposely blocking the vote for Merrick Garland.

On another note, I'm glad Joy didn't let Meghan's little coughing fit and "well I had more to say" stop her from getting to her point.

If someone is trying to prevent you from voting it's because they know you won't vote for them.

[Apprentice79]

Mitch McConnell losing his mind over making election day a national paid holiday in order to make voting easier and accessible to everybody was hilarious to me.  Joy was so right to call out his hypocrisy, unbelievable!

Almost got thru an interview without Meghan mentioning her father. It's not about you, Meghan!  And that brooch is hideous.

I know we all have things we love to hate about Meghan (everything....?), but today really kind of put the icing on the cake for me.  When Whoopi was thanking the audience for standing out in the cold in NY and coming out to see the show - the rest of the hosts were agreeing with her and smiling at the audience, in thanks.  And, there sat Meghan, resting bitch face in place, staring down at her blue cards and making notes.  She never once acknowledged the audience.  She just proved yet again, what a selfish, condescending woman she really is, and I thought it was so rude of her.

She finally commented about how cold she was, and how she prefers 120 degrees in Arizona to this.  Again, turning the conversation back to her.

[Jewell2]

No!! No, no no!!  When did Meghan’s Dad “poss”?

[Apprentice79]

Wow! she mentioned Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Megan is obsessed with her. Let it go Megan!  Why does Megan expect every Democrat to opine on Ocasio-Cortez and her policies. It is irritating and reductive.  

The Mayor is so impressive and I loved everything that he had to say. He has a wonderful future ahead and the fact that he became mayor as an open gay man in Indiana says a lot about his ability to get people to vote for him.

[GoldenGirl90]

Is Whoopi afraid of young people? I really don't think any of the freshman up-and-comers in politics have forgotten who came before them and I feel like she's taking another stab at AOC...

I really like Mayor Pete Buttigieg and nearly choked up with him as he talked briefly about his dad passing away. Of course Meghan had to remind us about her father passing away. Really?! 'Cause we all totally didn't know that. 

[njbchlover]

Just now, Haleth said:

Of course it is....didn't you know that no one can have sympathy for someone losing a parent or loved one, unless they have lost a loved one, as well?  

I will say (I know - I'm sorry....) that Meghan seemed to treat Mayor Buttigieg with a lot of respect and had no "gotcha" or "filleting" questions.  I thought it was insulting, however, that she called him an "interesting Democrat".....why couldn't she just say that he is an interesting person - again, she only sees people as their political parties - no other identity!

[1SimonMom]

I am sorry I was not going to post but Elsa can you not just say you are sorry about his father and not bring up your dad.  Everyone knows who your daddy was and you will never let us forget who your daddywas  but when someone has just lost their father a couple days ago DO NOT MAKE IT ABOUT YOU - MAKE IT ABOUT THE PERSON THAT JUST LOST A LOVED ONE.  She continues to reinforce my belief that she and 45 are identical twins me me me

By the way I almost threw up when the Mayor is polite to say something as much as I do not like that, he was being polite so ELSA be respectful to others and learn that the WORLD does not revolve around - F .... Narcisst

Wardrobe continues to remind us they really hate her or maybe she deep down hates herself - nah!

LOL Joy mocked Meghan’s scream-bragging over being a swimmer and then the entire audience laughed and clapped.

I’ve heard of Buttigieg, but didn’t know much about him. This is the first time I’ve seen him speak and I found him very impressive.

[Haleth]

But she hates labels whenever anyone else uses them. 

Mayor Buttigieg is an impressive young man.  And Mitch McConnell is completely transparent in his objections.

Because Meghan has no other interest in people - such a sorry life if you can only relate to people based on their political beliefs.  

I have many friends, and although I have an idea of their political leanings, I don't know for sure.  It's not the first question I ask when I'm meeting someone and getting to know them. (In fact, it's a question that I don't ever ask!!)

I think Meghan would like it if everyone wore an "R", "D" or "I" on their chests, so she would know who she's dealing with at all times.

I'm sure it killed her inside that he's a veteran who happens to be a Democrat. Throws a wrench in her whole "only the right is for the military" thing.

Joy to MM: "Oh, you're not a neuro physicist " hehehehe

[Coffeewinewater]

Huh, watching them talk about the BTK killer's daughter.  The daughter said she and her mother would tell the police if they knew. I wish MM would have again mentioned that her sainted father (John McCain, in case we forget) could kill someone and she wouldn't turn him in. She said this last week.

You know since the topic was about a daughter and father and as we all know Meghan had a father named John McCain and Meghan loves to insert herself and her father John McCain into most topics, not this one huh?

Sorry, I dislike Meghan so damn much.

Her screeching about swimming.  Damn she was feeling herself.  What did Joy say? You're not a neurosurgeon  lol. Sorry I see she neuro physicist  thanks @ari333

I was texting with someone when the young mayor was on, but looked up when whoopi started going on about the new young Democratics disrespecting their elders. What the hell is she talking about?

She gave Meghan a nod and a smile when she started that - it was another poke at AOC because of something she said.  Whoopi’s granny-pannys were in a knot over it and she went into a rant against her for disrespecting her elders in the Congress.  I can’t remember exactly what AOC had said, but the whoopster was mad enough to tell her “not to poop on your elders”.

AOC triggers Whoopie in the worst way.  AOC never said anything disrespectful about people older than her who have been fighting long before she was on the earth. Whoopie needs to let that go.

Oh this again. Thanks @Jewell2. The interview with Anderson Cooper. AOC never actually said anything about the Democratic elders like John Lewis.  She was talking about. The example of the young dems that unseated dems that had been there for years and no one expected to lose to younger dems. AOC point was if the dems that were voted out had been doing what the voters wanted they wouldn't have lost. And that's how change happens. You stop voting in people who aren't working for you.  Whoopi is a dolt. Glad I missed the smirk at the snowflake.

Dear Mr/Mrs FallTime, 

Management at The View regrets that we can afford only ONE coach per season.  Budget constraints (and fear of Ms. McCain's temper) caused us to choose to coach the cooperative Abby.

Thank you for your considered suggestion.

You give Barbara a lot more credit than I do.  I remember reading an interview with her and she compared the View viewers to Wal Mart shoppers and it was not compliment.  I hated how she would explain things to the audience.  Like she didn't think we were smart enough to know what she was talking about.

Barbara was very elitist. I hated her constant explanations to the viewers like we were dumb... She also used to say offensive things to Whoopie basically telling her that she was the Queen B.
