"The View": Week Of 4/8/2019

[GHScorpiosRule]

I don't know why Ms. Twat wasn't at the table when Chelsea Handler was interviewed. Or Ms. Bland. But if it was because Chelsea demanded it, then it's a change from how Barbara would have handled it. Back when they had the couch, and she was on, Barry Manilow was supposed to appear. He said he didn't want Bitsy there (because of that whole Split-screen and Rosie being gone), but according to Bawa, if a guest appears, he or she is "interviewed" by ALL, or they are disinvited. So Barry ended up not appearing.

But Chelsea doesn't strike me as someone who would do this. Simply because I think she'd be able to handle those two windbags. There wouldn't be a Bill Maher to stand up and try to protect Meghan's ignorant ass.

If she didn't realize how badly she sounded in the moment she had to have realized right after when the audience gasped.  She could have apologized right then and there but she didn't. I'm sure in her mind she is the victim in all this.  

In her ignorant mind, Megan is a victim of the evil left.  That is always the stance her ilk takes when you challenge them in any way.  They have a way of twisting things in their favor.

If Meaghan insists on reading from her blue cards, she needs to slow the F down, look up once in a while and take a breath here and that. She’s exhausting.

I WILL say (looking down at my blue card) that 70% of the time that Meghan is on, she is reading statistics that are 65% useless in a voice that's 88% higher pitched and 45% more rapid than any other host. 

And for all you haters - it's  part of your JOB to read my posts!

Wow. Joy had to give Meghan permission to speak. Has she been muzzled?  And Joy apologized for having to cut her off for commercials. I think HR (or more likely producers) told them to play nice or have a time out.

Muzzled, nah. I think it's her having the last word. She, I think mentioned it last week?  That she chooses to speak last. I think it's something the producers give the big baby.

From here on out, I shall refer to her as Angelica Pickles from Rugrats. She's blonde, entitled, throws tantrums, and they both have a high pitched shriek.

You know Angelica Pickles formerly know as Elsa is pissed that Joy is there today being the moderator, you know she is really having a bad morning from the minute that bitchy face of her stepped out, she had two of her top nemesis (sp) at the table - who are more professional, smarter but that won't take much!  When you are talking about Maxine Waters and her behavior, , I am sorry but there is no way in HELL that anyone should take advice from you about anything other then to know how  to be a good human being DO NOT BE LIKE Angelica.

Angelica#2 you can almost go to Hell, we know where your pockets are lined from and your IQ and behavior and everything you say is wrong.

Here is the rest of the week and season without Angelica's protector. fairy godmother!  She will be quiet!

Come again? I thought it's the stupid producers, yelling in the ear pieces that tells them to go to commercial? We see Whoopi arguing with them all the time when she has to do so. So why is JOY apologizing? If that Twat didn't have diarrhea-of-the-mouth and insisting she get to speak first, second, in the middle, and last, there would be no need to cut her rabid ass off. They should probably have the producers, wearing giant S' on their foreheads, troop out, genuflect and apologize to the bratty princess of nothing.

Sorry show. But this is not good enough.

[Cementhead]

So thanks to Meghan McCain we have two types of shows now.  We either have a show where she ruins it by doing or saying something outrageous that upsets both us the viewers and her co-hosts.  Or we have a show where they all have to awkwardly  tiptoe around her so as not to upset her.  Thankfully I am not watching today because just reading that Joy apologized to her for anything has me full of rage.  What in the hell.  This show is dead to me.

I don’t find Meghan to be any more pugilistic than her co-hosts, at least not naturally. I think she tries to be cordial because she knows her opinions are typically in the minority. And if you figure she’d probably be called a bitch anyway, it’s a hard case to say she’s being one from one from moment to the next.

They're not doing her a favor by giving her a chance to speak. She’s a cohost on the show. My point is a little bit more than that. If they understand the dynamic of the show, when it comes to political topics, they need to show her more respect by allowing for the fact that she can’t duke it out with them when they start spouting talking points. Just letting Meghan make her point is fair in a conversational sense, but the show doesn’t encourage respect of her POV because they treat her like she’s just there to fill a quota. On an individual basis I don’t think any of these women should temper their point just for Meghan’s sake, but when it’s three of you basically making the same point, maybe you should just to give the show some equilibrium. And again, allow some room for her POV to percolate, not just give her 20 seconds to speak.

I saw that more in order to have a balanced conversation, not just people taking their turn. The way the show dynamic is set up, it appears as though they barely tolerate Meghan’s POV, so in turn many in the audience barely respect it.

I don’t agree with that at all. People give leeway to people they agree with. I don’t think Meghan earned the vitriol she gets at more than the other hosts. 

Meghan is a bitch. A cold-hearted one. No empathy. No sympathy for anyone who isn't *her*. If she can't cut it at the table, then she should be fired. She is ignorant and nasty. I give her *no* quarter.

[GoldenGirl90]

Abby needs to hurry up and go on maternity leave. 

"When I think of someone bringing the country together, I don't think of Maxine Waters."

Okay Abby. What does that have to do with the clip? Steven Mnuchin disrespected her, plain and simple. 

Then she brought up Maxine Waters' comments about confronting Trump supporters and telling them they're not welcome.

"So if we see General Mattis, who is no longer in the administration, out at a restaurant, should we go up to him and tell him he's not welcome?" 

Not sure what that has to do with anything, but alright Abby.

Sunny was correct at the end in that Meghan and Abby kept bringing up things that happened outside of the hearing, rather than actually talk about the clip they showed in the beginning of the segment. Good thing Whoopi's not on the show today, as I'm sure she would've butted in before Sunny could say anything.

And Meghan implying that she "yearns" for Democrats and Republicans to get along again with her track history of disrespecting Joy, calling Democrats the party of infanticide, and on and on and on, is laughable. Girl, shut up. You're part of the problem.

They want to slam Maxine who irritates them because she now has power to put Mnuchin in his place.  Abby knows nothing about Maxine who had to work her butt off as a Black woman to get where she is.  Megan is the last person to speak ill of somebody's decorum.  She is a disrespectful child who disrespects Joy all the time.

Just a thought - when she loses her shit, she gets red and spotchy on her upper chest. Do you think they're trying these church-lady matronly blouses a preemptive strike against her giveaway "tell" that she's freaking out?

Also, another tic of hers is that she strokes her hair as a self-comforting move when she's stressed. We saw it a lot when she first joined the show. At her father's funeral, when she was doing the eulogy, her hair was up, and I caught her reaching up at one point to stroke her hair, which of course wasn't there.

I don't think the hair flip yesterday was a defiant one (although it was a terrible time for her to do it, right after she blasted Joy). I think she realized what she had done and immediately went to her stressed-out "pet my hair for comfort" move. I think the second the bile came out of her mouth, she realized how bad she sounded. 

You may be onto something re the blouse choice!  She does pet her hair a lot as well.  A lot of self soothing.

In looking at the video compilation of her talking about her father I noticed how much weight she has gained since joining the show.  On one hand I applaud her for not being a slave to her weight but on the other hand I suspect she eats her feelings a lot.  She may want to get a handle on that sooner rather than later or it will get out of control and possibly start affecting her health. 

I do think the show needs the conservative view.  It is the arrogance, condescension, trigger happy temper and nasty attitude towards the audience/fellow hosts that needs to go.  There is room for all views but you will NOT change minds or at least open them if you act like a bitch.

I don't mind the conservative view, but, I do hate the lies, distortions and propaganda that Megan does on the show, in addition to her vileness that we complain about everyday.  Sunny has conservative views and is staunchly pro-life, but, she is measured when discussing why she feels the way that she does.  Sunny once said that you can be a feminist and pro-life, Megan disagreed vehemently, spouting her party line.  She just spreads propaganda and lies..

[sevenrings]

I did not like how Joy was being so friendly towards Meghan today. It seems like somebody backstage told her to treat Meghan nicer, which she doesn't deserve.

And Abby's comments about Maxine Waters were ridiculous. Sometimes I don't mind her, then she opens her mouth.

Chelsea would not have done that. As you said, she can handle anybody. She invited Ann Coulter to be on her Netflix show (although Ann ultimately cancelled), and debated Tomi Lahren at a Politico event last year. She would have no problem with Meghan McCain. I assume Meghan herself asked to not be a part of it, or the producers just picked who does what interview.

Abby is just like Megan without the nastiness. Maxine is hated by the right, so she bashes her for that reason alone.

Add the cigar smoking and Jack Daniel's drinking and healthy is last on her list. That is how she rolls. She eats, drinks and smokes whatever she wants.

The Daughters both need to shut the fuck up. You guys have perfectly summed up their bullshit from today. Especially Abby. Always wanting us to give the man in the White House credit for the bare minimum, but everybody else needs to do better. I think the fuck not. Just cause he employs your family doesn't mean the rest of us have to give him credit and be nice to him for shit. That is why I like Ana continuing not to give any damns when it comes to him.

RIght.  It's like once they planned to discuss this, they had to scramble to give one of the conservatives on the panel a talking point.  

Maxine Waters, as the head of the committee, was leading the meeting, and Mnuchin treated her in a way that he would NEVER treat a white male colleague.   Nobody likes Mnuchin, so we can't find anything to support him - let's find something controversial about Maxine Waters.  , 

I'm sure Meghan would have been happy to bring this up, but they gave it to Abby, because Meghan has been too controversial already this week.   It was a simple, transparent attempt at derailing the discussion from "Mnuchin was being a jerk (and probably sexist and racist)"  to "Maxine Waters is NOT PERFECT EITHER!"

It's not just that he disrespected her (which I totally believe was sexist) but he also disrespected Congress.  So he had some foreign dignitary in his office.  So fucking what?  They are more important than a Congressional hearing?  Isn't he the one with the trashy wife?  Maybe he was late to take her shopping.

Mnuchin came across as an entitled teenager, mouthing off to a teacher, and hoping the rest of the class would follow along.   "Teacher, I TOLD you I had to leave early, so you need to pound your little gavel/gravel thingy and dismiss the class."

Meg often works my last nerve in terms of what she says.  I don’t agree with most of it, and she is a bit of a pampered princess…and I wish she would get rid of those damn blue notecards and stop spewing statistics.  I wish she wouldn’t see things in black & white all the time.  I wish she wouldn’t sneak in those last minute, under her breath comments when Joy’s speaking, etc.  I wish she would stop saying “Democrats need to…” and start saying “Republicans need to…”.  (I also have a laundry list of what I wish the other View hosts would not do, but I won’t get into that just now).

Having said that - I must say I don’t have it in me to criticize her appearance (in relation to her weight).  Women go up and down in size, and if we’re skinny, it’s not always because, say, we only smoke and never eat, for example, or because we can’t tear ourselves away from the gym, and if we’re chunky, it’s not always because we are scarfing down food 24/7, or because we don’t care about ourselves.  Weight is a complex issue.  Maybe she “eats” her feelings – maybe she doesn’t.   It hurts a bit to feel the glee in the air when we say things like “her habits are gonna catch up with her”, “she soon won’t be able to get up on that stool”, etc.  If you’ve ever had this said about you, you might think, “what does the size of my behind have to do with anything?”.  I get vitriol when it’s directed at a person’s (asinine) comments, but not when it’s directed at their body.  Especially when it’s couched in fake concern for their health.

I guess maybe this belongs in the Meg thread, now that I think of it…wait, did I just write a paragraph in defense of Meg? LOL.

Joy has a rich history of work, friends, family, and life, that she created on her own and she is widely respected.

I totally agree with everything you said. To be clear-when I said someone should throw a parachute over her, it had nothing to do with her weight.  I try not to criticize people's appearances-even though Meg is such a hateful person, I agree that we should not go  there.

Also-I had/have an eating disorder. When I was the sickest and at my absolute worst, I used to get so many compliments on my appearance. We have no fucking idea what someone's health is based on their weight.

You've amassed enough wealth to last that long...and then there are (probably) those family trust funds.

So true. Why does "conservative view" have to be conflated with such confrontational aspects?"

Unfortunately, from what I've seen since Monday as headlines in some news/entertainment aggregators, the answer seems to be "because it makes for must-see TV." I think there's a good-size chunk of the VIEW-ing population that relishes the gladiatorial combat moments.

The View is capitalizing on the sorry state of the country. Fuck them. I am boycotting and I hope other people will too. Oh also-I will say this, the comments and reactions to MM's behavior on Monday seemed to temporarily , at least, unite a lot of people from both parties-most people agreed that her behavior was abhorrent.

When they were talking about gynos, Miss Meggie couldn't just shut up, she had to giggle & chirp to the point that you could barely make out what anyone was saying.  Ana's comment about small hands & preferably warm, was hilarious!!!  Just sayin'.

I don't know why Ms. Twat wasn't at the table when Chelsea Handler was interviewed.

Chelsea was on Howard Stern's show today. There's a recap of their interview that addressed it. "Howard asked Chelsea about when she was on The View the other day and how they had two of the women not sit in. She said that she saw Megan McCain back stage. She said that they just said it was too many women out there so they cut back." This is from marksfriggin.com.

She does that anytime they talk about anything sexual (not that gynos are sexual, but). She's such a child.
