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

[TV Diva Queen]

I hate when they have on an awesome guest and they only do one segment. I ❤️ Valerie. 

[pinguina]

Wow!  MM just keeps on keeping on!

A scandal is an action/conduct that causes a loss/damage to person's reputation.  Policy is a definite method/way to guide present/future decisions.

Apparently MM does not understand the difference between the two.  There have been many (and varied) scandal surrounding the orange guy's administration - from security clearance, to pay offs, to not divesting of personal business; Obama - wearing a gray suit.  Equal?? I don't think so.  She tried to claim that Obama's policies were actually big scandals.  When others tried correct her, she tried to shut them down.  I don't think so, Ms. I'm Smart (and Trust Fund Republican) McCain.

She also did not seem to want to "discuss" when Valerie Jarret said that during the Obama administration no one argued if he/she were not given clearance due to questionable behavior/acts because they respected the "rules". 

[bannana]

Here's another take on it, and I found their description of the fight particularly funny:

https://decider.com/2019/04/02/meghan-mccain-joy-behar-fight-the-view/?utm_source=DeciderTwitter&utm_medium=SocialFlow&utm_campaign=SocialFlow

I like this next coverage because it is about the second segment where she lost her shit.  What is missed in all this is that it was Abby who said the Repubs are hypocrites and that if this had happened when Obama was President, he would have been attacked by Repubs (re the security clearances).  That is what led NutMeg to her meltdown, cause Joy said that nothing like this ever happened in Obama's WH.

https://www.mediaite.com/tv/meghan-mccain-rages-in-fiery-view-rant-trumps-going-to-get-reelected-dont-say-i-didnt-warn-you/

I really think NutMeg owes everybody an apology.  She completely created the conflict and she was outright rude to Joy and the audience.

[heysmilinstrange]

What's particularly gross about Meghan's hissyfit today was that she totally did the same thing she accused Joy of. Meghan said the people would reject socialism because "they're smart" (implying Joy is dumb), then got furious when she imagined that Joy called her stupid. What a draining, immature person.

Oh, for those playing at home "adage" is Meghan's word of the day, and she's used it incorrectly -- twice in the first 27 minutes.

She's really not too clear on the definition of "scandal" either, but she didn't introduce it, like she did with "adage."

I didn't catch the misuse of "adage," but I did catch

"...candidates who have ran..." 

Ugh, major pet peeve.

5 hours ago, bannana said:

BTW, when did Joy say that NutMeg didn't understand democratic socialism? 🙃

I don't think she did. Joy insinuated that many Americans dont understand democratic socialism, hence the low ratings on that poll they were referencing. 

Then Meghan said, "people are smart."

Joy: "So am I. "

MM: "So am i"  

Joy: "I disagree."

MM: "You disagree that I am smart?"

Joy: "No, I disagree that socialism is a bad thing."

So MM was pontificating that socialism isn't regarded highly by Americans, according to some poll and when Joy questioned the poll's results, MM exploded.

Was Valerie Jarrett the first politico type that didn't pay homage to John McCain? Maybe that's why MM was such a bitch today.

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.

good point!   Meghan doesn't really know about how to win elections, she can stop giving the democrats advice any time now, since the candidates she supported in the last three elections LOST.   (if she's telling the truth about not voting for trump)

I'm a 78-year-old fan of Joe Biden's, but I do question my peer's level of stamina over the next five years (2019-2024).  Of course, we've seen that maybe there really isn't much to the job.

I have backed off deciding about Biden's "past" expressions of affection.  If a few (or more) women had ever told him they were uncomfortable, he may have reconsidered his actions.  If everyone acted as if it didn't bother them--just ignored it for years, how was he or anyone to know?

My feeling exactly (including the age).

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. 

Well, Chicago has just elected a new mayor -   Black, female, AND gay!!!!   Go Chicago!

"...candidates who have ran..." 

Yes, I cringed at the "candidates who have ran" error. 

The first misuse of "adage" came in the next segment. They were talking about Pete Buttigieg. She read her Wall St. Journal poll about characteristics "that voters find enthusiastic or they're comfortable with" [her awkward wording from her blue card; not mine].

MEGHAN: The top of the list, African Americans.  Second, a white man.  Third, a woman. And fourth? Gay/lesbian, so it's not nearly as--as taboo as I think maybe old--old--old adages may have thought.

Then she started the socialist thing. I'm not transcribing that or the ensuing hissy fit. I know she used "adage" incorrectly later in the show, too. That's what made me forget to snark on "have ran."

[GoldenGirl90]

I just wanna add that although Joy didn’t outright say to Meghan, “you don’t understand socialism,” her comment - that once people realize what it means, they’ll get on board with it - was basically an “I dare you to explain what it is” to Meghan, in a very polite way. At least, that’s how I interpreted it. We all know socialism is the closest thing to the Devil in Meghan’s mind. 

In addition, Meghan’s huffing and puffing, crossing her arms, mumbling under her breath that she misses when Whoopi is there, trying to rush to the commercial break by saying “we don’t have time to discuss it” - a hit dog will holler, and boy was Meghan hollering! I think Joy knew she’d take it personally.

Edited April 3, 2019 by Alexis2291

[General Days]

Well,  and Meghan is the one who brought the question of intelligence into the conversation.

Per Meghan's reading of that poll (I'm not rewatching) "socialist" was a trait way down the list, with only 25% of respondents being enthusiastic or finding that acceptable. Joy said something along the lines of that the poll respondents don't understand what that means [i.e. what Democratic Socialists mean by calling themselves that]. 

Meghan then said, "People are smart."

Joy said, "I'm not?" or "I'm smart too" or something along those lines.

Meghan then twisted the conversation into a false accusation that Joy was saying she (Meghan) isn't smart.

I also think Abby was starting a really interesting conversation, and we couldn't get there because of Meghan derailing it. Ana gave Joy the same look you give a mother in the grocery store when their toddler is acting up and you're already having a bad day.

Thank you, GHscorpios,  I stand corrected. I’m not a Simpson’s watcher and I only know that clip from a local radio talk show that uses it for a specific segment.

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.
 

When is enough?  I'm so tired of it.  You'd think Whoopi wouldn't put up with that behavior if it was a little kid..so why does she protect MM?  I don't get it and I'm about to start passing on watching.

[heysmilinstrange]

I was rewatching the Obama scandal part of today's show and I just noticed that when Meghan was ranting at Joy and brought Abby's interview with Ivanka Trump into it (randomly), the camera cut to Abby and her face had a total "Oh my god, leave me out of this" expression on it.

[tinkerbell]

in the beginning segment of the show, they were talking about Joe Biden.  Abby says her favorite moment, last season,  watching the show, was Joe Biden hugging Meghan.  

Meghan SNARLS " he was COMFORTING me! When I was SAD and VERY SCARED!"  She YELLED this.  The anger with which she said that was shocking, and Abby looked confused by it at first.  It seemed like even before Meghan's "hissy fit"  in the next segment, she was PISSED and ready to fight.  

The other part that was weird, Meghan's diatribe about socialism, she said she was trying to explain why democratic socialists could be leading to trump's re-election.   But was she?  all she was doing was reciting statistics, there was no explanation, no interpretation, just the stupid "25%"

Anyway - I think Meghan started the day at work pissed off at someone.  I wonder - did she want to confront Valerie Jarrette about something and was told no?  was Meghan having difficulty with all the democrats being invited on the show, and the way she thinks the show is having an anti-conservative slant?   did they have an argument in their pre-show meeting about hot topics?  something happened, that she was ready to ATTACK over the slightest perceived slight.

Joy asked her to name an Obama scandal, after she mocked and laughed about Obama having no scandals.

NutMeg said: I don't want to do this, this morning, because I don't think socialism is a big winning adage for Democrats.  🤣🙃😮😆🙁👱‍♀️

I think she said she "told them" in the morning's meeting that she didn't want to talk about that...and then they overruled her.  Perhaps that's the "adage" that set her off!

Yeah...and if this is how Meghan treats her "bestie" and "sister" when Abby is commenting in agreement, how does Meghan treat those in her daily life who don't rise to those levels?  I BOLDED Tinkerbell's words because that's how Meghan's outburst affected me too.

Like that will EVER happen!   She says, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry," all the time, but it's just another method she uses to interrupt someone (anyone) else who's vainly trying to make a point.

It's interesting that she hasn't tweeted today.  Normally she would be retweeting all the right wing sites that contend that Joy is a meanie and that NutMeg bested her.

You’re so right. That’s what she tends to always do. She looked like already had a bone to pick before she went on air. Just let Abby finish her thought but she had to explain it to the audience like we’re  dumb. Then she said it in such a hostile irritated way. She was doing usual squinting whenever she’s ready to disagree with someone. Why the screeching? Again I will say the loudest in the room is the weakest.

From my perspective, while Meghan might have her "tantrums", Joy is no better when throwing jabs under her breath towards Meghan.

[Jewell2]

I didn’t catch Abby squirming when Meghan dragged her into her meltdown.  I did think that she looked almost embarrassed when Joy made reference to her interview with Ivanka.  Joy was teasing, and she said something like hard-hitting, or in depth interview.  It was just a second but I thought, poor Abby.

I was waiting for Meghan to somehow make the conversation about her.

"As a fellow politician's daughter, how did you keep your composure?"

"Everyone that knows me, knows I can be a bit reactionary..."

"I would've gone viral"

What the hell does that have to do with anything?! Just ask Chelsea your question without mentioning also being the daughter of a politician or how you would've reacted to something. God she's annoying.

They had to make today boring after yesterday's shit storm of a show, I guess. This is a pattern, I've noticed. Usually the day after Meghan acts like a lunatic, she's all smiles and giggles.
