"The View": Week Of 4/1/2019

[WonderWuman73]

Dammit I wish I was there today.  Megan and her Effin cackling. Policies policies shut the hell up! She’s so stupid!  She probably had her usual meltdown during the break : eyes dabbed her raging tears with Q tips, her producers soothing her while blocking her from the audience, pouting and non responsive to the other women during the break. In person, it’s a beautiful thing to see 😝

Honestly, have you ever seen someone who takes offense so easily or is so self absorbed to think it's always about her?

I'm going to think on that...but at the moment, no, she's the Queen of Offended and the Princess of Everything Me.

[SPinCA]

Oh I would bet good money she stormed off during the commercial like she did when I was there. You could tell by everyone’s body language it was like “here we go again”.

Because this bears repeating...in BOLD!

(Maybe she's not pregnant--if you get my drift.)

Ugh. What can I say about today. I will say what bothers me even more than what she is saying is the attitude. The neck popping and screeching is just so bratty and disrespectful. Not to mention juvenile. I have no problem hearing other views but give me Jedidiah, Nicole, Ana....I will not tune in to watch a neck popping, screeching temper tantrum. Joy deserves a raise, she had the patience of a Saint. I did laugh when she went to a commercial after the audience laughed and she said “I gotta go, Ok Bye” She was as over it as I was and I love that Joy doesn’t take the bait and start a row. 

It's her neck bobbing, eyes narrowing, mouth twisted, and shrieking voice. And...the sighs as she looks at the audience for validation. Doesn't make sense for her to be on any show where there are different opinions.

I was deeply hoping you got to go today, and chose not to mention it until after. Dang.

Yup. I really think I'd pay money for audience reports on what goes on during the commercial breaks on days like today.

[geekburger]

Everyone’s reactions (Ana especially looking immediately to Joy) when MM said she liked it better when Whoopi is there (ie undermining Joy not only as a moderator but a host) was worth it.

for a show that gets it wrong so much, they got it right hiring Ana.

I don't want to be a buzzkill, but I think Joy's jab was at Trump, as in: even our resident Republicans want the eventual Dem nominee to win, because he's just that bad. Your interpretation is more fun though.

I didn't interpret it that way at all. Abby even looked embarrassed that Joy was mocking their schtick and started to 'splain herself, and Joy just laughed at her.

That was definitely what was on Abby's face when Meghan screamed at her that "Abbeh deserves props here!" As if Joy hadn't just introduced the topic by congratulating Abby for (unintentionally on her part, I'm sure) catching Ivanka in a lie before Meghan decided to have another tantrum.

Meghan honey if you have to tell people you are smart then you probably aren't.

[athousandclowns]

I read here before I start watching and nothing could have prepared me for that out of control bitch today. So much anger. Hateful. If you can’t have a civil discussion unless Whoopi is there then take your toys and go home. Joy wasn’t talking over her or intrrrupting her so why the wild hair up her ass? She’s just so exasperated with what the Democratic are doing she can’t save them. 

Love how Joy just keeps on keeping on.  The tongue baths the daughters keep giving each other is getting ridiculous. 

Pretty sure Abby’s hair is a clip on.

Back in the dark ages when I used to show horses, there was a product that you could spray on their coats to make them extra shiny, and often people would use oil around the nose/muzzle to make the skin darker and shinier. I find it funny that that is what I think of when I see Abby. 😄

Maybe she uses Mane and Tail™ shampoo and conditioner.

[BradleyK]

I also read it on here before warning but I was still shocked by Meghan,I Think today she finally hit the level of becoming a parody of a cohost! Is the fact that over the last month or so Joys been in charge with Ana appearing more frequently finally got to her? I Noticed Sunny seemed to push back more than usual as well (again,maybe as there is more free rein without Whoopie) At one point i almost thought Sunny,Joy & Ana was just going to burst out laughing at her whilst she went into meltdown.

Also,again Abby shows how backwards/old fashioned she is during the biden topic,i wasnt sure what she ment with the royal family reference but,if she ment the royal family are more "emotionally cut off" from people than someone in politics (assuming she was meaning the english royal family) then i suggest she does some research into some of the projects that the Royal Family are part of in England (helping with Mental Health & homelessness being 2 examples)

I'm sure that's a huge part of her tantrums. Whoopi protects her and allows her way too much leeway, in my opinion. Joy, Sunny and Ana make Meghan almost bearable because moments like those on today's show illustrate her ignorance and downright idiocy at times, and that can be amusing to watch her toddler meltdowns. Signs of a coddled princess having to deal with adults who don't kiss her very large ass.

Trump is Abby's dad's boss.  Abby got the interview because Ivanka's team knew it would be a soft ball nerf ball interview.  Abby asked the question and Ivanka lied blatantly and badly.  Did Abby ask any follow up questions?  No, she let her dad's boss's daughter lie and did not challenge the lie.  

[falltime]

i'm thankful for sunny being at the table. like ,joe bidden has been called creepy uncle joe for years because he invades personal space. coming up behind someone and sniffing hair and rubbing noses is not a hand shake, it's not comforting someone you are familiar with.

mm: i miss whoopi when she is not here.

meghan confirming what we already knew; that whoopi protects her. lol @ her not being able to explain what she means by socialism and stumbling to name obama scandals. 🤣🤣🤣

sunny saying she still has poems some guy gave her made me laugh. like abby mentioned, sunny would burn down the house if manny kept love poems from another woman.

[bannana]

NutMeg loses her shit because Joy thinks voters might better understand what socialism is if they learn more about it.  NutMeg loses her shit because Joy says Obama was scandal-free.  NutMeg loses her shit when the audience boos her.  NutMeg SHRIEKS that Abby deserves mad props for her Ivanka interview, after Joy already gave her those props.  WTF!

Ana's look to Joy when NutMeg says she misses Whoopi when she is not there WAS EVERYTHING!

And NutMeg madly  flipping her ponytail braid around just made the whole thing perfect.

[bannana]

NutMeg is getting lots of coverage today:

This one includes Twitter reactions, my favourite being that NutMeg should have a high chair at the table because she is a petulant baby.

I kept thinking hoping that she stormed off and didn't come back!  After the two commercial breaks immediately following each of her tantrums, there were several seconds that the camera did not show the entire table - only focused in on Joy and/or Abby.  I wonder if she her return to the table was delayed after they returned from the breaks.

[blondiec0332]

The  View book comes out today.  It's almost as if Meghan wants more attention on her and not that book.

Megan is an unhinged idiot.  I cannot bear to look at her anymore, she is truly an embarrassment.

She has truly jumped the shark with today's ep.  It's no longer a funny something to laugh about.  She's just plain disturbing.  To TPTB, do something!  Get rid of her.

[atlantaloves]

That was not decent behavior from Mad Dog Megan, even for a Jerry Springer type show today. I am once again writing to the network. Hey, it gives me something to do, and makes me feel better.  I hate her fucking guts. Oh and Mad Dog, YOU ARE STUPID. 😭    

[tinkerbell]

Watching now on youtube.  Interesting that the conflict started when Meghan started reading statistics about "characteristics voters find enthusiastic or they're comfortable with", as though it proved that voters are OK with gay leaders.   the poll made no sense to me, I"ve been voting for a long time, and I certainly don't base it on race, sex, or sexuality.  Meghan was using her statistics to change the discussion  from Buttigieg to socialism, and was mad that Joy shot it down.  Then she had to lash out at Joy as though JOy had attacked her (she didn't)  and say she misses WHoopi.  

What the fuck, Meghan?   You know what's boring about the show?  when instead of speaking your opinion, all we see is your overly-made up eyelids as you look down and read numbers and percentages from a card.  It's a poll -  we don't know who was polled, how the questions were phrased, and the way you prefaced it made no sense.  were people RANKING different characteristics?  saying yes or no to race/sex questions?   When you just read percentages, it makes no sense, so the audience is bored.  Joy is the moderator, and she had enough of that crap.   Move along, don't pout and lash out. 

Oh, and Meghan?  Saying that Obama's presidency was FREE OF SCANDAL isn't the same thing as saying "Meghan Mccain agreed with everything Obama did."   There were no scandals, period.  

Meghan has this similarity to trump - they both get riled up over any praise of Obama, even the mention of his name. She also repeats the same lies that she hears from trump. (the Iran money, legalization of infanticide)  BUt she doesn't like trump!

  Meghan is really melting down when she finds herself defending Democratic candidates like Biden or Buttigieg, and disagreeing with trump, while staying true to her conservative leanings.   her head is exploding with the chaos and confusion. 

[Cyranetta]

A basic lesson for  Nutmeg:

 "Scandals" are not the same as policies you don't like. If you were truly as smart as you insist you are, you could have gracedfully shifted the conversation like this - "Obama's White House may not have had scandals, but the policies enacted were as damaging in their own way. 

If she were not so determined to exert dominance all the damn time, she  might have the time to craft a "smart" response.

[tinkerbell]

The discussion of love letter had me laughing.  There was a guy I dated in my 20's.  he was more interested in me than I was in him.  we dated a few times, it was pleasant enough to have dinner, hang out with friends playing cards.   Then he wrote me a love letter.  The poor grammar and atrocious spelling made me realize the relationship was going nowhere, and I broke up with him.   He never knew my reaction to the letter was what prompted the breakup.  

[Prairiemakeup]

There is a moment on The Simpson’s when Bart sings-I am so smart, I am so smart. S-M-R-T, I mean SMART. When Meghan said she was smart, my brainy automatically went to Bart! Can anyone link it, I’m not SMRT when it comes to tech.

I don't get it either. 

MM 's father LOST the presidential election, despite (according to MM), having raised this child in the political womb who could have advised him how to win.  

So where does MM fathom that she is a political  pundint, who anyobe should listen to,  in any universe?  

Her hubris is a crazy illusion.

[SPinCA]

That’s a good point actually, I was so peeved at her outburst I forgot about the questionable WSJ poll she quoted. She says it’s things voters are comfortable with. I rewatched the clip and she said African American is 1 then a white man? I find that very hard to believe and she said woman was 3 so would an AA woman be #1 or #3. Lol. I would really need to see what questions were asked and to who.

Ana and Joy often have great off-the-top-of-their-head quips because they are smarter and quicker than the rest of the cohosts.

I don't doubt that Bart Simpson is smarter than MEEghan.

Good call on MyProducerBrian's part - half the segment would have been taken up by MEEghan going on and on about how she cannot relate (when saying nothing is how normal people act in such situations).

The hell  about missing Whoopi?  She may coddled her but when Whoopi is having a bad day . Ohhhh like the day I first attended the show, she went at her hard and Nutmeg lost her freaking mind. She was put in her place then ran off after each break in tears. So I have no idea what’s she’s talking about?  And FU MM, you’re so transparent! ..the only reason you Keep  hating on  Obama is because  he beat your dad... ugh

Here is a link to the poll.  It is as NutMeg read it.  Interesting to review actually.  The relevant bit is on p. 9 of the document, but the entire report is worth reading.

NBC/WSJ Poll that NutMeg quoted today

[Rainyhawk]

Generally I’ve found that people,who protest that much or get that defensive about an attribute (e.g smart) deep down they k on that they don’t have it.  It think she proved that true today.  And the whole scandal thing was ridiculous...if she was actually smart she’d know the difference between a scandal and a difference of opinion on policy.

[Kenz]

The surly and completely unprofessional Meghan McCain made a complete fool of herself today, again. Anyone else who acted like that would be fired from the show. How long will the McCain last name keep her in the limelight? It's disgusting. As my usually sweet tempered husband commented, she's the black hole of The View. 

[WhitneyWhit]

MM was so damn defensive during that White House clearance scandal discussion that it makes me wonder if she knows some people and was afraid names were going to be dropped.

Thank you, looks like this year is the first time white man has been a category so that explains it I think. It’s an interesting study. Personally I couldn’t give good answers to a study like that. The first 4 categories are too broad. Nearly half of all people are cautious about Muslims and evangelicals but yet around 90% are comfortable with women, African Americans and white men so who are they picturing when they hear white man/woman/AA, their ideal candidate within that group maybe. The most interesting is seeing the top category people are comfortable with (AA) doesn’t specify gender and woman is number 3 so we can assume when people hear the term “African American” they subconsciously picture a male. Interesting. 

I see Ana’s whiplash inducing headturn towards Joy after Meghan said she missed Whoopi is now making the social media rounds as a GIF. Haha.
