I've lived in Atlanta for at least 45 years, and of course remember the Wayne Williams case. I had a dear woman friend who worked for the Crime Bureau that was assigned to this case, and she was working with the fiber experts. Let me tell you, they HAD HIM on many of the murders on fiber evidence alone.  He may not have killed every single one of those children, but he probably killed at least 12 or 13 that they had SOLID evidence against him. They took him down the best way they could, and the murders stopped as soon as he was in jail too. 

Yes, the fact that the murders stopped, suggests he was the killer.  But then why didn't they try him on all the cases, so he would never be eligible for parole?

The mother of the murder little girl was heart breaking.

No one was saying that John McCain was perfect.  And I'm sure Joy would stand by what she said in 2008 and any other year.  I feel the same way that she does.  But he has earned respect, and they were talking about Trump's outright and malicious disrespect for him.  I'm sure that many of the people who respect John McCain (on this show, on other shows, and in the general population) would not vote for him now if they had the opportunity.  But that doesn't mean they shouldn't comment on Trump's completely unpresidential and classless behavior.   I didn't see it so much as praising McCain to the skies as calling out Trump for being such a pathetic, disrespectful man.

I think you're right in the context of that particular show. My point was more that I feel they have also been tongue-bathing him so much for so long (as has been so well put by others here) that I personally am not able to give it up for either of them, even if it's a situation where he or Meghan may deserve it. Meghan has been so awful and they have overdone the John McCain love so much that I can't feel much sympathy anymore. And considering how much power that family has already and how awful they've been to others, I really don't feel too bad about that.

[Jewlmc]

I'm no fan of Meghan's, but she's not making that orange twit disparage her DEAD father. 

Of course it's going to be a hot topic, as it's pretty big news. Personally, I'm impressed she's not weeping and shrieking. If it were me, they'd still be surgically  removing my foot from the POTUS ass.

I still don't like her, but damn, I'm pretty sure she would rather not have her father be publicly shit on by a piece of garbage.

I just wish she would be this outraged at all the other things Trump says and does. It’s mighty convenient for her to be so strongly outspoken against Trump only when it becomes personal... it’s the selective outrage, which is irritating. Any other time and both her and Abby would be bringing up his high approval ratings within the Republican party, how we should be used to the way Trump talks/tweets, ect.

I had muted* the beginning of the show for SO LONG that I don't know when the announcer began pronouncing Abby's name ABee as she did today--instead of AHHH-bee.  When did that change?  Anyone know why?

*In case there's a newbee who doesn't know why:  'Welcome to The View, Welcome to The View, Welcome to The View,' and so on and so forth.

[HaaCHOO]

Everything was so lovey-dovey on today's set of "The View," (except for cranky pontificater, Whoopi*).   One for all; all for one!  Meghan is especially filled with full-time love and support for her cohosts.  She's the Queen of the May now, right where she knows she belongs; she's never been so happy on the show. Shall we start a pool to see how long she can last?

*Really!  Is this taking time off to rest and recuperate?

Bingo!

Easy to be outraged when  it affects you and yours. She misses me when I see no real genuine empathy for others.

It just makes her look even heavier!

She even has to show them off in her wedding dress.  How does she think this looks good?

I kinda like it *thud* lol...it has a western burlesque feel.  I'm glad for the wrap or it might have been worse. Overall I think it's a very pretty dress. A little too sheer for me, and a little tight form fitting for me, but beyond those issues I do like it

Oh, I like the dress but not on Meghan. She is too heavy for it.  It would be stunning on a taller and thinner person.

I think it does look better without the wrap.

[maggiemae]

I'm pretty much over this Trump/McCain thing. Instead of loving on MM I wish they would discuss why Trump is doing this distraction which MM and Abby can't seem to process other than an attack on McCain.

Then they go to lighter topics.

[tinkerbell]

The wedding dress is fine.  At least she didn't go with a strapless number, which would have been a disaster on her.   That first photo though, with her boobs pushed up so high, makes me cringe.   It looks so unnatural, and as a woman with big boobs myself, it looks painful.

MM did not even have empathy for the Gold Star parents (Khan)  that Trump belittled.

Just remembered to check this.  Yesterday Abby said to Prett Bharara regarding the Mueller investigation, "No matter what happens, you're going to have a big chunk that thinks it already is a witch hunt--and another chunk that thinks Trump's a Russian spy."   

A spy? Does ANYONE believe Donald J. Trump is a Russian spy?   A spy?  

What "chunk" has she been talking to?

I don't understand couples who have diametrically opposed political beliefs who can be married and not talk politics.  Politics affect most everything in our lives. 

I have been married for fifty years (yes, fifty) and my husband and I never had any political disagreements until this last election. We just can't/don't talk politics at ALL anymore. Maybe that's what they do.

Aw, gee, Cementhead, that's because SHE is the only one with intelligence enough to understand how that insurance works...and how all those companies are ripping us off!  I hope she gets a very special one-hour special explaining it all to the American viewer.

You are correct, serial killers rarely kill outside of their race. Sadly, I can see a serial killer who is Black targeting Black people because they know that society will not care about them. I also think that Jeffrey Dahmer who was White specifically targeted poor Black men who were struggling with their sexuality. One of his victims could have been saved by the police, had the police cared. Jeffrey's victim was clearly in distress when the police stopped Jeffrey's car for a traffic violation, but, he was able to use his privilege to allay the cop's suspicion and killed that poor man that very night.

And wasn’t it an underage kid?

I need to go back and read up on it, because as I stated up thread, I was a child when it happened. But maybe they didn't try him for all the cases because they they didn't have the evidence for all of them?

It's Preet.

It's entertaining and painful at the same time listening to her trying to act like she knows anything.  She mispronounces words. Uses those mispronounced words wrong.  Says things that are patently untrue.

She is exactly what the kids of Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman will grow up to be. Rich kid who graduated from a prestigious university who thinks they know it all and is still an idiot.

That's assuming that any good college will admit them. With the headlines dominating over these two, and news of USC "kicking" them out, or the kids "withdrawing" or whatever, I very much doubt they would get into any college. So just rich idiots.

Unfortunately,  my jaded soul thinks colleges will always take the kids---with enough $. 

They will be more discreet and underhanded about it though.

And Daddy Mossimo didn't want them "having" to go to Arizona State University, boo hoo!  That's our one of our state universities, and highly ranked--even though we have a plethora* of rich SoCal kids who couldn't get into their preferred universities.  If they didn't deign to park themselves here, our rankings might be higher.

*A new vocabulary word for anyone on The View's panel who wants to use it.

Wow. Ana is on fire.  

[Apprentice79]

Anna is on fire and I love it. I still don't feel bad for Megan. I do feel bad for her siblings and her mother who have to endure these ugly vile attacks.

Ana is right in that the Conways are auditioning for their next gig after Washington.. This is all a calculated effort by them to remain relevant and get money..

[GoldenGirl90]

I'm not buying this drama between the Conways and Trump. They're playing the American people like a fiddle. 

[tinkerbell]

Funny moment in the beginning of the show.  Talking about the awards they are nominated for, Abby talks about how they are so grateful for the hair and makeup people "who make us all look great."   And Meghan nods her head, along with that ridiculous twisty-bun on top of her head, kind of disproving the "make us all look great"  thing.

Couldn't help but think of the yellow teletubby (Laa-Laa) when I saw Meghan.

So, when the outrage over the John McCain issue subsides, will Meghan and Abby go back to defending everything trump says?

Meghan's genius hair dresser is back at it today.

They chose the slenderizing style!!! What are earth are they thinking??

[atlantaloves]

oh boy today's show sounds juicy, thanks guys...I shall turn it on....(I record this poop fest every day, don't ask me why)💋

[Ladyrain]

NutMeg's hair looks like an albino cow took a dump on her head.

And hair and make-up are up for Emmys????   That must be some kind on inside joke by the voters, or a pity vote.  The View has the worst hair and makeup in the entire TV industry.

• Like when we mentioned your "shiny" hair?  We weren't giving compliments.
• OH?  When we griped about your gummy/shimmery lips?   
• Like when we thought your hair was vinyl?  That's not a commendation.

Since "the only place" you ever wear make-up is on the show, let us see your nekkid face so we can decide if the nomination is deserved.

[NotinKansasanymore]

Nope! I am not having it with today's show with this woman, Maddie Corman. This is what happens when rich celebrities get convicted of child pornography! Make no mistake, that the therapy that she spoke of her for husband, was part of his plea deal, that he had to spend 60 days in a rehab facility, and attend a 12 step program for sex addicts, and because he is rich and could afford good attorneys, he got probation, instead of jail time. 

She also forgot to mention that her husband is currently producing a documentary called Tsnumia which is about pornography.

So the guy is convicted of child pornography, and she and he make money off of this play, as well as him making money from a documentary?

And please stop referring to it, as his shameful secret, it is a CRIME!

I'm sorry, but a good father would not enjoy watching another father's children being sexually abused.

If you have watched all week you have seen Meghan sit back and let the other hosts take the reins. She let them start with  Trump. I found it interesting that as Ana first started to speak,  Meghan said Ana let me go first. Just interesting. 

Ana did a great job defending her friend.

I don't think Ana was defending "her friend" as much as she was incensed that he was speaking poorly about a dead war hero, John McCain!!
