"The View": Week Of 3/4/2019

Miss Meggie's major problem is that she can't listen to the point being made while she's reading her "rebuttal".  She makes a damn fool of herself because, most of the time, her response/rebuttal doesn't remotely resemble what had just been said.  Sad!!!

I think that's the most infuriating thing about her interruptions. She takes her time to speak and others give her that respect and then when someone else takes their moment to give their view, she jumps in or asks to interrupt and when allowed, she doesn't say anything different from what she already said or she speak random notes on her card that she didn't get to say during her spiel and it rarely is in context to what the other person was saying. She simply hijacks someone else's speaking time so that only her opinion can be heard. The segment did come up in my Youtube player and I saw it...she asked to interrupt Sunny before Sunny even began making her point. Sunny had barely set up the context of the situation and Meghan was already asking to interject. And whenever she's told to wait her turn, she always does the passive aggressive 'can I speak now? is that okay with everyone? am I allowed to speak?'. I wish someone would just say 'no' and let her just protest in silence while she crosses her arms and runs off the stage each commercial break to cry, lol.

Reminded me why I don't watch anymore, lol.

And I will say, Meghan can keep her fucking tears. We've seen these women talk about police brutality against unarmed black men. Meghan's response is to talk about the anthem, flag and American vets. We've see these women speak about policies that are racist against Muslims, and Meghan responds with Obama's ban on Muslim countries. We've seen these women talk about discrimination and hateful labels toward Hispanics and Meghan responds with 'you guys, 67% of Americans think border security is a real issue and I'm not going to lie, border policies is a top priority for me'. We've seen these women talk about the rising hate crimes against Muslims, Blacks and Hispanics and the response is 'that's a shame...but what are the Democrats doing?'. You don't have to be Muslim, Black, Hispanic or Jewish to have compassion for the discrimination lobbed towards these groups of people but only one of those conversations elicited a passionate response,  compassion and tears. Don't fucking tell me you don't have selective outrage. Her body of work is large enough to say with certainty that her behaviour today was absolutely selective outrage.

Yes.  His estate has a stake in his image and can sue for defamation. 

I know several of the officers/deputies that were working this case.  There is a TON that wasn't put out publicly.  They wouldn't give me details no matter how hard I tried but they did say that Diane Dimonds book was the best and closest to what happened.  I haven't read it.  Take that for what it is worth.

I loved it when Joy was having none of Nutmeg interrupting her about the ladies in the red hats.  Time and place Nutter!

These are old stories that she has told before.  I think worse than this was when someone from Manny's work baked a cake and she threw it in the garbage.  Sunny has issues that she should not be working out on live TV especially at her age.

When you reach the age of 50 you should have some wisdom by then.

WHY waste cake???!!!!  Best thing would have been to enjoy it.  She shouldn't worry about the other women. She needs to worry about being such a pain in the ass Manny washes his hands of her.

[choclatechip45]

I sent the clip of Meghan crying because she doesn’t have a Jewish family member to my dad who has been very upset about Rep Omar’s comment and he thanked me for the good laugh he had and called it one of the most ridiculous things he’s ever seen. Joe Lieberman use to live in our town and we use to see him all over the place after he retired so if I ever see him again I might just start laughing.

If Taylor was spouting Abby's team's talking points, she would be all for it.  Abby is so transparent..

Abby seems to think she can have political commentary but Swift should not? Crazy.

I look at it this way, Elsa makes Sunny, Joy, and Ana look very, very good. She helps bring up ratings. Producers and sponsors know it is effective to show Elsa crying or rolling her eyes. She's like the old time villain wrestler, the hero wrestlers profited every time they decked him. Joy, Ana, and Sunny can laugh all the way to the bank. 

[OnTime]

How long has Whoopi been off?

Seems like almost a month.

[WonderWuman73]

Note- I added a few (among hundreds)  of Twitter users responses on Megan tweeting the  Beyoncé  I ain’t sorry gif and about her on air cry in the Megan thread in case anyone is interested) 

I’ve noticed MM resorts to tears and tantrums when she feels the audience is against her or when she gets shutdown.  I’m sure they whipped out the Q- tips during the commercial break. Miss Princess can’t handle anything it seems. Her dad’s death is still affecting her work, her blue cards of incorrect facts  from her husband are making her look like a fool more and more, she’s missing Whoopi’s defense barrier between Joy or Sunny and acting like it’s her first week of work (can I talk now? Hi I’m MEgan- have you heard that my Daddy is JM and he’s dead on a infinite loop).  She’s great for ratings because they don’t care about our complaints.  The producers shield her from the live audience, sweet talk her off the ledge and act like nothing ever happened. Rinse. repeat.

Sometimes I've thought of this as the bonus, too. I still see her blatant attempts to misinform as incredibly dangerous and conservative outlets usually re-write history with what actually happened on the show to make McCain look like a victim / hero regardless of how big a fool she makes of herself. Either way, it's not her opinions, but her screaming and her bratty disrespect towards everyone that has made her the worst co-host this show's ever seen. There's a reason Abby doesn't receive the same amount of hate despite saying mostly the same things. I still don't believe the ratings have anything to do with McCain--although I'm sure she believes it--and I have hope she could be done in thanks to Joy re-signing at the end of this season. Hopefully Joy gives ABC an ultimatum. More viewers will be lost if Joy exits than if they fire a dime a dozen daughter-of shill like McCain.

Anyway, if McCain wants to act like she's on WWE or Real Housewives, then ABC needs to go all the way and have the rest of the women deck this piece of work and rip her hair out every time she starts going.

For all her bluster of being a tough chick if someone came at Meghan she would run away and cry.  She always says she gets attacked in public for being a Republican but she never says what her response is.

I am still upset about Meghan's blatant lies about abortion. I wish the show would address this issue with some facts. Not a debate, but address the lies being told and set the record straight.

How many times have we seen other co hosts have to clarify or outright retract what they have said?  Joy has.  Even Whoopi has.  But Meghan gets to say whatever the fuck she wants without any repercussions.  On air repercussions anyways. She has been getting skewered online and rightfully so.

Totally agree with this. I also think Meghan thinks being "tough" means being rude. She's definitely rude, tough not so much .

I've often wondered about the nature of these "attacks." Meghan seems to be the type of person who thinks anything other than praise/agreement is an attack. Look at how she reacted when Sunny wouldn't let Meghan interrupt her. Meghan's "can I just say something" is just rhetorical,  so when Sunny kept on rolling, Meghan was offended. Meghan doesn't see that Sunny was providing context and giving her own opinion. No, Meghan sees Sunny refusing to be thrown off track as an attack on Meghan the Conservative Voice.

Also, you're absolutely right @Coffeewinewater. She clearly has a fantasy of being a "badass bitch," but doesn't actually have the courage and independence required.

Whoopi with pneumonia in both lungs and septic was serious. No wonder she has been out so long. She also looked thinner too.

I'm glad Whoopi is doing well and getting better. She did look thinner, but considering what happened it makes sense.

[1SimonMom]

If there is ever a day that Abby and Elsa should be on it is International Womans Day, wiithout their daddys and hubbys they would be absolutely nowhere to be seen and never to be heard, as the Louis Armstrong says what a wonderful world that would be.

I agree with Joy about the Kavannaugh, the reason the Judge sentenced Manafort was sentenced so lightly was because I am guessing he wants to be the Next Supreme Court Justice so basically no sentence.

I was laughing as Elsa was talking about Mannafort daughter changing her name, could you imagine if she and her BFF (you know the one sitting at the table, since it changes for whoever she wants to be) ever changed their names as I said in the paragraph above who would they be, no one would have hired them, they would not be able to get away with all the things and lies they continue to say, they would just be sitting there doing nothing with nothing to say or contribute to society, they would not be on the View - OH WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD THAT WOULD BE

[Cementhead]

Did Meghan just tell Joy during the Biden talk to 'trust what I am telling you because Abby and I spend a lot of time in Red States'  wtf.  ok, whatevs.  And also, her foundation is too yellow based for her complexion because the rest of her is pink.  Pink ears, pink arms.  Yellow face.

[GoldenGirl90]

I really, really hate when Meghan tries to lecture the Democrats on how to win. I'm glad Joy pushed back and said that AOC isn't leading the party just because she gets more publicity than the others.

And no, Meghan, just because you and Abby supposedly spend the most time in red states doesn't mean we trust anything you say. On that note, why would she even say that? Where's the proof that she and Abby spend a lot of time in red states? They both say this a lot and never give any background information on when they do this. Also, how the hell do they know that the other ladies don't spend time in red states? So ridiculous.

Was Joy bleeped out a minute ago?  During the first segment?  She said something about Biden and then something about Trump but the Trump bit was bleeped out at least for me.

[GHScorpiosRule]

That is just ridiculous. Just WHEN do they "spend a lot of time in the Red States"? They're in fucking New York City for most of the week. Do they go traveling during the weekend and hob nob, (oops, sorry, that's an East Coast "Elite" phrase) and speak at rallies or whatever the fuck they say they "do"? And with Abby all pregnant, is she up to all that travel? It's SUCH BULLSHIT.

She suggested Jesse Smullet is a sociopath for making up his story...do all of these unsubstantiated attacks on Meghan (for being a Republican!- give me a break) make her a sociopath as well?  

[Cementhead]

Hee! Maybe they borrow Whoopi's bus and road trip it together.

[jalady]

Meghan, the Democrats are NOT going to nominate a pro-gun, pro-life, climate denier who thinks only rich people are entitled to health care and higher education.  So please, believe Joy when she says she’ll vote for anyone who runs against Trump. She’s been saying it for years!  And stop trying to act as some political strategist since you can’t even remember basic political tropes (Republicans fall in line; Democrats fall in love).  And I’m not even a pundint 🙄

I really hate it when Megan acts like she knows everything about red states, especially since she comes from a purple state that is leaning bluer with each election cycle. Furthermore, there are democrats in red states just like there are Republicans in blue states.

The only place Meghan has mentioned going to on weekends is Washington DC.  And that is most definitely not a red state.

She simply can't understand that.  In her tiny pea brain she thinks where you live, what music you listen to, what movies you watch define your political identity.

[GoldenGirl90]

And Meghan threw in "no shade" after saying she and Abby know the most about red states. That's not shade, boo - that's just you assuming the other ladies don't visit nor spend time in red states, which, again, how the hell would Meghan and Abby even know?!
