Joy literally thinks that the Obama administration was scandal free. Meghan doesn’t know how to respond in a respectful manner and comes across very bitchy. It would be nice to have a conservative panelist who could articulate her thoughts well so that there could be productive back and forth discourse. Too bad. 

While Obama was a much nicer man Trump, his administration was far from having no scandals. Benghazi, IRS targeting conservatives, Operation Fast and Furious, FISA and the Iran nuclear deal are a few. Those are the ones on the top of my head.

Could you please not bring conspiracy theories on here? There are places on the internet where you could do that. Thanks!

Y'all are slacking. Not one of you called Abby tacky for being happy to have this baby shower. Remember when she called Megan Markle tacky because her friends gave her that expensive baby shower, even though they paid for it and gave to charity.

I'll just say that Ms. McCain is "prickly"--very "prickly."  No one could make-up this stuff!

And didn't she have some Miss Manners Moments some time ago instructing us against ANY showers for a second, third, fourth baby or marriage?  I don't think that girl has a real thought in her pretty little head.  She simply parrots what she heard someone else say and hopes she gets her facts right.

So, between this and Announcer Lady's totally lame "Let's turn this Mother out," 

Lame, inappropriate, and not even funny.  Apparently Announcer Lady doesn't know what "turn out" means ... or how offensive "this Mother" can be (depending on pronunciation).  Oh, wait!  She's simply trying to be cool...so cool!

Joy said that people do not understand what the term socialism means. Naturally Meghan conflated that to mean Joy was saying she is stupid because no one can say anything that isn't about her. 🙄 Honestly, have you ever seen someone who takes offense so easily or is so self absorbed to think it's always about her?

Her over-inflated ego and sense of self-importance are out of control.  The McCains certainly raised one of the most spoiled brats I've ever seen.  (And I worked in mental health for many years, so that's saying quite a lot!)

Lost in the rest of what happened today, I loved Joy's jab at Abby and Meghan when she was talking to Ana and Sunny about how all three of them (Joy, Ana, Sunny) want the Democrats to succeed: "And these two that care about what Democrats do for some reason or other...," referring to the bullshit "advice" they like to dish out to Democrats everyday as if they GAF and aren't blatant in their shilling.

I loved that too!  It drives me crazy when they're so free with their advice (as though they're qualified to give it and as though anyone cares).  Good for Joy for saying what she did the way she did!

[DebbieM4]

On 4/1/2019 at 1:35 PM, Haleth said:

Perhaps I’m feeling contrary today but I saw nothing wrong with Whoopi’s comments about either Biden or the SC student. We all know people who are demonstrative, people who touch your arm when talking to you or who hug and kiss everyone. There is nothing intentionally sexual or threatening with these gestures but the only way to stop them is to tell the person you don’t want to be touched. It’s not a big deal. The woman who went on the news certainly overreacted and I’d also question her motives. 

Regarding the SC student, it’s not victim blaming to suggest women be more careful, especially when getting into a stranger’s car.  She made a terrible mistake that is a reminder to us all that we are vulnerable when we let our guard down  

After7, I was typing as your post popped up. I agree with everything you said! 

I agree with both of you.

I wasn't sure how to express my thoughts re Biden, but both of you covered it perfectly!  🙂

And re the SC student, she did make a terrible mistake.  There are safeguards in place, and she clearly just jumped into a random car.  There's no sense to a discussion about blaming or not blaming, but it most definitely is a cautionary tale.  Uber provides a photo of the driver, make of car, license plate number, etc., and there's a reason for that.   So yes, she absolutely should have been more careful, and taken a moment to determine that it was in fact the car sent for her.  But the fault clearly lies with the monster who killed her.  I don't think anyone would dispute that.

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. 

I think Joy doesn't take the bait because she sees Meghan for who she is, and she's not at all threatened by her.  I think most of the time - like me - she finds Meghan to be amusing because she's just so ridiculous.  IMO Joy, in every way, is on a whole other level.  Starting with being an adult.  And professional.

And yes, the screeching.  I never allowed my kids, even when very young, to express themselves by screaming.  Clearly Meghan was allowed to scream and screech and pout and be rude.  That's very unappealing in kids, but it's really unattractive and obnoxious in adults.  Someone her age having regular temper tantrums on national television is an embarrassment.  Unfortunately, she has no self-awareness and will never be embarrassed.

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.

Yes, she thought she was sticking it to Joy.  That's what children do - Lash out like that.  Joy clearly considered the source, didn't care, and knew the attention afterward would be on Meghan having a childish meltdown over nothing.  

I love Ana too!  More and more all the time.

On 4/2/2019 at 1:51 PM, TheGreenKnight said:

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.

Yes, I thought it was pretty clear that Joy was referring to the way the Daughters are so free with their advice to the Democrats.

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) 

Agreed.  She thinks she's in some kind of knowledgeable power position when in fact she's actually pretty unqualified to be giving advice to anyone.  (About anything!)

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.

• Ana has been a stepmother for a month now.
• It's possible some of those "children" are grandparents!

Ana said she has a step grandson who is autistic, so she is step grandmother!

Ok the most bizarre scary thing just happened.  Its OT, I'm sorry mods but I'm freaking out lol the drama.

Ok I had the TV in the living room on while I was on the tablet. I wasn't watching anything on the tablet, no shows or videos or anything.

This is when it happened: do you know how everyone has ads scrolling on the top and bottom.  Well my TV, in my living room, gets the scroll along the bottom and it said 'Samsung want to cast 45 I didn't catch the rest, then it said allow, always allow, block, cancel.  And it would not let me maneuver to block or cancel.  Then after a good minute it just scrolled away. Ain't that a trip? Do you think I've been invaded?  Lol  I changed my password but that's probably already been hacked.  Please let me know if you've ever seen or gotten this.  Thanks. Thanks List Mods!

When Chelsea came out we see her greet/hug everyone EXCEPT Meeeeee-again McCain  Once more the cameras pan the audience at the incriminating moment of her hugging a non tribe member. It’s ridiculously obvious.  Her contract must be a nightmare much like her.

I think there are a couple of others skulking around.  Here's a story that will tell you if I ever go "all Arizona."  I had to have a nerve-blocking procedure (knee replacement gone wrong) recently for pain--of three years.  My insurance disallowed anesthesia...which the doctor requested.  He appealed and lost.  He said, "Well, you're a trouper and you're laidback. You can handle it."  I did handle it.  It wasn't the worst thing I'd been through; I hope to never do it again.  Nope...I never go "all Arizona."

That sounds inhuman. I can’t believe your insurance company was allowed to get away with that. I am so sorry.

The first ten years I was married ('64-'74), my husband was a podiatrist.  I didn't work in his office, but I helped decorate it AND typed the comprehensive reports (before PCs) when he applied to the American College of Foot Surgeons.  I'll be looking for office space tomorrow; I'm a podiatric analyst!

Can you imagine how shitfaced we’d all get if we had a Nutmeg drinking game? 🥂🍺🍹🍸🍷 🤣

Feel free to add your own..

Take a drink every time she shrieks - “I don’t have children!”

- “I’m from a rust belt state” 

-Whenever she says I can’t talk about sex and turns red 

- She squints while trying to ask a gotcha question 

- My father, my father, my father ....

- Military families, military families... 

- When she directly addresses the audience 

- When it looks like she needs a forklift to sit in the chair 

- When it looks like bird shit on her head hairstyles 

- When her blouse has a loud pattern, lace, buttons, high collars, broaches,  sparkling  wtf pins

So true. Nutmeg is passive aggressive as hell and is not only rude to Joy but to the others as well. No comparison. Lacks total professionalism believe me I witnessed it in person.  The difference between the two is that Joy says what she means and means what she says. She’s not fake in her feelings about someone. While Nutmeg is fake friendly to everyone then takes to Instagram to really express her hatred for them. She’s insincere compared to Joy’sgenuineness.

I am picturing Lucy Ricardo setting baby chicks free in someone's house or destroying a rose garden.

Baby showers - I think every new mom should be celebrated for being a new mom.  It is a huge transition.  Normally I would agree that a mom that has a tiny one and then is going to have twins would probably get a second shower because she needs more equipment.  This would be a very middle or lower income thing to do to help offset expenses.

I watched and you are right.  The camera immediately cut away after Chelsea hugged Sunny.  I don't always pay attention but I wonder does this happen every day with every guest.  Maybe they are afraid a guest won't hug Meghan.  I remember when Alicia Silverstone didn't hug Elisabeth and Elisabeth was visibly upset afterwards.

I liked Joe Biden's response. I honestly don't think he meant any harm in what he did, he just seems like a touchy-feely type of person. That being said, women (and men) deserve to be heard and personal space must be respected. I didn't really agree with Ana here. I'd say I agree with Sunny the most on this topic.

I do think that Sunny is hypersensitive about this issue because she worked as a prosecutor for years and saw what rape and sexual assaults has done to women and children. I agree with Sunny, but, I can see where Anna is coming from.  I also think the damn media has paid too much attention to this Biden story. Anna wisely said that nobody has mentioned Epstein who assaulted young girls , got a sweet deal and that is a tragedy.

I agree with Ana that I'm sick of the media making more out of the issue than it should. And like I said earlier, I question the motives of these women coming out now to slam Biden. At least the issue is being addressed - and hopefully put to bed - before he announces. (Cynical me thinks it might even be a strategy to clear up the matter before his opponents can seize on it.)

I agree with everything you said and you brought up a good point about Sunny's past as a prosecutor playing a role in her response. It's a tricky situation. Yeah, Ana is right about the media paying too much attention to the story. These women said they felt uncomfortable, not that he sexually harassed them.

If tapes come out of Biden saying he'll grab 'em by the private area, then yeah, I'll be outraged. For now, not so much...

I do not think Joe Biden's behavior disqualifies him from being President. And I do not think he behavior is even close to what Trump has done.  However I do think the women who have come forward have the right to be heard and not be made to feel like they should have just kept their mouths shut.

If I feel uncomfortable I cringe and move on, I don’t call a press conference. This was a one time thing (wrt any one of his accusers), not a repeated behaviour.

I'm unsure on the whole Biden thing. I watched some clips on Twitter and I must say a lot of them made me feel really uncomfortable.

There are a LOT of clips of him standing behind little girls, hands either on their shoulders or on their heads, leaning down to whisper into their ears and kissing them. On what planet is that acceptable?

Joy was asking Tim Ryan about Joe Biden and she said Biden hasn't exactly apologized yet. I mean, he basically already did in the video response. What more does he need to say?

There is a lot of videos and photographs of Joe Biden invading women's personal space and rubbing shoulders where women looked visibly uncomfortable. It is definitely repeated behavior. I had already written Biden off a long time ago because of this behavior. This is not new information. I don't care if it is sexual. It is still gross and I am very familiar with these kinds of guys. That being said, I would vote for anyone who goes against Trump and this would not keep me from voting for Biden if he were the nominee.

I try to think from a woman's perspective. I'm a retired Methodist minister who is a person of touch -- other women, men, children. I was also a school teacher and same. As a teacher I learned about giving people space, but I still am apt to give a "side-hug," touch a back, even arm around a back. I' also Biden's age and a short woman. It would be totally awkward if I said, "May I touch your back?" before I do it. Personal space is complicated. Sexual power moves are simple and wrong.

They did ask her -- Meghan and Joy -- but they were factual questions.

MEGHAN: (blue card at the ready) So, there's always a lot of talk about Empire. It's a hugely popular show, but recently, your co-star Jussie Smollett has been in the news. The charges against him have been dropped, and you say you are, quote 'Happy the truth has finally been set free'. Have you spoken with Jussie?

TARAJI: Yeah, I talk to Jussie all the time, and he's doing well. We're all doing well. The show is doing well. We're on hiatus right now. The writers are trying to figure out what the next season is going to look like, what our storyline is going to be. They're trying to drum up some really good, juicy stuff for you guys. So that's where we are, and I'm about to go to-- (Joy interrupted).

JOY: Is Jussie going to be on the show? 

TARAJI: Yes. I haven't heard anything else.

JOY: Okay.

TARAJI: I haven't heard anything.

Sunny then pivoted with a question about how this is the show's sixth season. Taraji confirmed, and Sunny ended the segment with plug for Taraji's new film.
