I want to feel sympathy for Meghan, but she'll go right back to defending 45 tomorrow like she always does when he tweets something about her father. 

[Coffeewinewater]

Ugh, I'm sick of how great and classy Meghan is. I'm mad that Trump tweets about JM because I know its going to be all they talk about and Meghan sits there eating it up..

Whoopi is back , I'm not thrilled by that.

This. Trumps actions/vileness only matter when it's about her father. No sympathy from me. 

Where is all this Lindsay Graham should do better? LG has always seemed like a dick who only care about his. Not shocked, haven't been for years. Why are these women acting like LG is someone different?

I feel no sympathy for Megan and the asskissing by the panel over her alleged class was sickening.  Megan is a degenerate inept empty-headed fool.

Whoopi is getting on my nerves already. Let Sunny finish.

I see the ratty gray scarf survived too. 

I’d  have more sympathy for Meghan if she showed the slightest bit of compassion for other people who are truly suffering. Instead she sits there, drinking in everyone’s praise, eyes full of tears, lips quivering, playing the poor li’l me victim. Give me a break. Like y’all said, tomorrow she’ll be defending Trump again, just like her bastard uncle Lindsey.

And Joy said Graham needs to find his testicular fortitude but really, did he ever have any? It's all a strategy for him because he wants to get reelected. 

[TheGreenKnight]

Of course the only day McCain isn't defending Trump is when her family has been personally attacked. She's fine with his attacks on anyone else though. Sadly the only thing I could think when she said Trump will never be a great man is that she will never be a great woman either. She's as pathetic as he is.

The only thing I do agree with her on is that already Bernie and Beto--two white guys--are being treated differently by the media than superior female candidates like Kamala. The sexism continues.

[Bronzedog]

I forgot the 95 “Welcome to The View”s that come with Whoopie’s return.  Ugh.

It is not just sexism.  The men of color in the race are being ignored as well. The media never fucking learns. I am so pissed about this crap and it gives me a bad feeling..

All this talk about 45 spreading fake news about things that matter to Elsa that the hosts talking about , well guess what now she knows what is happens when she and her sidekick and her husband spread all the lies and fake news about everyone they do on daily basis.  Do you ever think that Elsa and 45 are alike

Yes and no. Trump is a thing apart. Meghan is more like all those politicians who think honor, dignity, truth, and other people are less important than their own careers. She is like Lindsey Graham.  She only cares that Trump is lying about John McCain, because she happens to be John McCain's daughter.

Trump has been telling outrageous and obvious lies about people like President Obama and Secretary Clinton for years, and when he does it, Meghan (and Abby) acts like they're fair game. She only cares this time, because she loves her dad. She's only pissed that Lindsey turned into a Trump sycophant,  because Lindsey now prioritizes his relationship with Trump over his friendship with her father.

Because, if Graham were a normal human, and Trump lied about and shat all over Graham's best friend, Graham would publicly denounce Trump.  The other women on that panel (well, not either of The Daughters, but Whoopi, Joy, and Sunny) are normal humans.

I liked how they rushed to John McCain's defense, took down Trump, and stood by Meghan, except for the fact that as far as Meghan has displayed on the show, I have no reason to believe she would return the favor. She'd start talking about how if Dems want to win back Racist Ronnie of Racine,  they'd better stop caring about income inequality, healthcare for all, and income tax welfare support for millionaires and billionaires.

I kept hoping that one of them would say to Meghan - "And yet you'll still vote for him"

[blondiec0332]

Whoopi said Tiffany Trump is a nice girl.  Of course she is. She is the only Trump kid not raised by him.

Sunny said Meghan handles herself with grace.  All we saw was her tweet.  For all we know she might have had a crying hissy fit when she saw Trump's tweet.

I'd like to know how much actual raising Donald Trump did...and how long...of any of his children. I think he's incapable/incompetent.  Stronger associations probably began when they were nearing college age and then when they needed j-o-b-s.  I credit Ivana with any good qualities their children demonstrate and our President with all the bad.  Melania's son remains a secret.

I missed Whoopi, so I'm happy to see her back.  I actually thought MM was on good behavior today.  Didn't mind the discussion about her response to Trump's speech.  She was calm, let others speak, interrupted less, and was a lot less screechy (excluding her defense of ASU during the Marsha Clark interview).  Yes, she will be back to defending Trump policies tomorrow, but today was a good day for her.

I like the scarf.  It is the American Flag without being the actual flag.  I believe everyone has the right to do what the want with the flag but, for me personally, I like when flag clothes are a bit off the actual flag.  Kind of like how money is portrayed in movies - a bit off size of the real thing.

Of course Sunny believes in psychics!  Don't get me wrong, I like Sunny.  She does have some wild ideals though.  I missed her story of a dancer, nude, and a man without underwear and the skin on skin......................................

Whoopi had her hair done.  I am pretty sure she has her hair clippered very short with enough to attach dreds.  Years of them have left her with many bald spots.  Looks good.

WHY was Whoopi such a bitch about (and TO!) Beto O'Roarke?   Joy tried to add his "government" accomplishments but Whoopi paid that no mind and kept on rant/lecturing..to the panel, Beto, and US!  Her gray is a little touched up and her dreads are neater today.

[HaaCHOO]

Sedona Schemona!   It's a "magical mystical" place for those who believe in that stuff.   Because my family didn't have a car, the first time I went to Sedona was in high school (Phoenix).  My best friend and I went with her fiance` (really) and his best friend.  The area had highways, but no freeways yet (1957).  We went to the Grand Canyon and stopped in Sedona on the way up and back.  I've been there many times since. Many.  It's beautiful--very beautiful, touristy, expensive, great shops and restaurants, schlocky shops and restaurants--many art galleries--a good day trip for lunch--and to take visitors from other states.  Not once has anyone ever told me they felt peaceful, enlightened, healed, or any other mystical magic.  So much for the Google vortex stuff Meghan read word for word.

P.S.  It was a rainy day and the Grand Canyon was full of clouds.  We couldn't see anything "grand"!

Meghan has squandered any goodwill people may feel for her. I've always tried to be fair in the past and note when I think she does something right, but really she's continually shown herself to be such a nasty, horrid woman, I can't think well of her at any moment anymore. I'm tired of situations like this that have people rushing to support the spoiled brat. I'm tired of shows like The View retconning John McCain (like they did today) to make him some kind of superstar when he was very problematic himself. Even Joy: she should go back and watch clips of herself talking about him in 2008 to remind herself of why she really didn't want him as president.

I was wondering the same thing. It was odd. I'm not saying Beto is my guy, too early but why be so nasty about him. Then she acted like he was scared to go on the The View. I like that Joy add at the end I like him.

[maggiemae]

Meghan whines and complains when the panel discuss Trump everyday - yet when she does she basks in the sunshine and attention.

IMO MM will be back to whining and crying and shrieking soon and complaining about bashing Trump. For a strong woman she sure did not make a comment regarding Lindsey Graham today as a political analyst.

I understand why they are defending John McCain.  Trump is disgusting,  Meghan is their co worker, not that I think she would back them up. Joy would lose big time if she spoke on why she didn't want John McCain as President.  She would get dragged by almost everyone.  I agreed with her but at this point. It's would not be worth it.

Yeah, and hadn't Joy ALREADY said that he was scheduled for the show?   Just like Meghan's, her ears don't work because her mouth is always open.

[merriebreeze]

Whoopi has a thing against younger, smarter people (Beto, AOC). Insecure much? She has great name recognition, but considering her moderating skills, it's hard to believe that she's that valuable to the show. 

[bannana]

So NutMeg says Uncle Lindsey is not her dad's best friend, not even second best!  Ouch!

As you all have noted it is the height of hypocrisy for NutMeg to be upset with Trump and Graham, when she rarely if ever calls out either of them for the shameful things they have said and done.

Whoopie's disdain of Beto is odd. Her nonsensical rants about him reminded me why I did not miss Whoopie at all. I rolled my eyes as she spoke.. I think Beto speaking about White privilege triggered Whoopie. Beto being obtuse about his privilege should have been something for her to bitch about.. Whoopie started to mention that but she veered off the topic and just meandered about nothing.

I've visited Sedona and I think it's absolutely stunning. And not going to lie, I've climbed some of those rocks and getting to the top, it was very peaceful and reflective for me. However, I've had similar experiences hiking the Niagara Trail, hiking national parks, standing on top of my city escarpment and looking at the greenery and blue waters away from the hustle and bustle of the city, discovering a beautiful waterfall hidden in an unassuming park, or being in the park during cherry blossom season. The point being, what is being sold as magical healing powers is really about an appreciation for Mother Nature. An appreciation for the beauty of earth that is untouched by man and you don't need to go to Sedona to experience that (though I recommend the trip, as I said, it's beautiful). There's a reason why spas imitate nature in its sounds and several of its services (hot rocks, mud baths, ice baths, salt springs, etc.) and there's a reason why rehab/wellness centres are often located on the outskirts of cities and surrounded by nature's trees and flowing rivers. This is not some formula unique to Sedona. There is a general concept and belief that nature is peacefulness and to be surrounded by it enables meditation and reflection, no surprise, we've seen Indigenous cultures say and practice this for centuries.

But like you said, if someone goes to Sedona believing that that particular spot has healing powers, then they're more inclined to believe that because they've conditioned their mind to expect that.
