Loved, loved, loved Joy's eyeroll when Meghan was prattling on and getting all hot under that hideous dress collar!  

Omg, is that hilarious or what? I couldn’t get enough of it, I pause and replayed it a few times! Tooo funny!!     She don’t need words, the eyeroll depicts a thousand naughty words...... I don’t think I’ve loved Joy more!  ;D

I think Whoopi was obliquely referring to the Ladies Who Punch book in addition to the SNL skit, but then again,  who knows?

I think that also.  I just finished the book.

[bannana]

There were some funny moments amidst the idiocy of the day.

• NutMeg rat-a-tatting her blue card points and then shrieking out to the audience to thank her one fan, no, three fans, for applauding her.  Joy so obviously eye-rolled while looking directly at Whoopi!
• Joy laughing off camera when NutMeg snarled that she wanted to ask Mike Lee a question cause that is what he is there for!
• NutMeg shrieking her opinion about the SNL parody repeatedly whilst Whoopi was trying to make her point, and NutMeg saying she just wanted to let everyone know what she thinks, and Whoopi wearily replying, we know what you think!
• NutMeg managing to shriek a "my father" on their first day back.

I think it is only a matter of time before Whoopi rains down on her.

One more thing, whenever NutMeg wants to get her snark on it really is more of a snarl.  She snarls her lips and sniffs.  It's most unbecoming and it always make her look even bitchier, if that is possible.

Yup - Meghan had to be extremely pissed about that.  Her personality is definitely not one to appreciate being made fun of.   She can't laugh at any jokes, least of all, any at her expense.

Joy, I think, was just embarrassed about that entire exchange, and is probably tired of seeing it replayed over and over and over again.

She really could have acted like a grown up in that moment.  How hard would it have been to throw in a - yep, wish I could take that one back.

Abby:  "The President Daddy's Boss......."

Her words on the topic of this man giant ass hat mean nothing.  Jack shit.  So what, who cares?  Shutty. 

When she starts to act high and might and ask why certain republicans don't stand up for what's right, why does no one ask her about the lack of moral courage from Abby's Daddy?  I felt Joy was all but saying this and Abby was totally dense.

That would be impossible for Meghan - she does not have a humble or apologetic bone in her body.

After watching the first segment as they discussed the Mueller report, I'm wondering if I should go back to not watching again... the person who most certainly didn't read the report, and basically admitted it, is Abby (she said, "from the parts I did read..."). Second runner up is Meghan, who claimed there's nothing she "didn't already know in the report." It was pretty funny when Abby tried to bring up Obama ("What did Obama ever do to stop Russia?") and Sunny responded with, "he imposed sanctions," which was followed by an embarrassingly awkward silence.

Sunny should  have brought up Mitch McConnell told President Obama to not make public the Russia interference.

Abby and Meghan were insufferable today.  

Mike Lee is an idiot and we are dumber for having listened to  him.

I'm reluctant to say this (BUT) it appears that Miss Meggie over-indulged in the Jack Daniels, steak & pizza during her time off.  Her whole face is bigger!!  Just sayin'.

And I am not really sure why.  Both seemed quite confrontational and angry.  I bet it has to do with the SNL parody.  Why didn't they show the clip where Abby was portrayed as pathetic and unsure of herself?

The Mueller Report came out on Thursday and has been thoroughly analyzed.  To say there is nothing in there is just absurd.  They should instead have discussed some of the fallout from the report.  Like Sanders caught in a lie and then walking it back.  Like Trump on his "I'm Happy" train. Etc, etc. 

This article about today's show is good recap.  It also reminded me that NutMeg was taking shots at Sunny.  Sunny called herself a legal nerd, and then right after NutMeg snarled that she was a political nerd.

I braced myself to watch the show after reading all of the comments here. (I tape it and decide whether to watch it later in the day). All I can add to the rest of the excellent comments is, THANK GOODNESS FOR SUNNY HOSTIN! I couldn't watch this show without her professional comebacks to all of the nonsense that is spewed. She is getting more  and more disgusted with spoiled brat Meghan McCain and shutting her down more often, and I love it. Her push back against that idiot Mike Lee was a thing of beauty.

They were supposed to talk about Sanders per the announcer, but, Megan's meltdown derailed the show with Whoopie rushing to the commercial break.  Joy needs to do that more often when Megan goes off the rails.. Whoopie's expression said so much, she too is tired of Megan's nastiness.  Good for Whoopie, it was her dumb idea to bring the brat on the show, suck it Whoopie..

[cinsays]

Please let this rant be the nail in Meggy's coffin that gets her off the show.

[maggiemae]

If they make the remainder of the week fluff due to MM today I might just be out.

[maggiemae]

Instead of Abby's "what about Obama......" comments I think she needs to be reminded her Dad (that she of course referred to today) also worked for Obama as Ambassador to China.

[atlantaloves]

Thanks Maggie, and I say No Shit Sherlock! 

Yeah, today was just a fast forward special with that slimy lipped fat fart going on and on and on and on....Forget about it!

[falltime]

So Abby didn't even read the whole report. She probably just read the summary that AG Barr put out. Abby isn't moderate nothing, she is a trumper.

I really appreciate Sunny being at the table.

Joy's eyeroll when MM was thanking her one fan. 😄

MM's over the top laugh at the snl skit. 🙄    omg at Whoopi getting all serious for a whole minute in that segment at the end.

Abby: "When you take out criminal activity..." lol

MM to Joy: "I'm more interested in what Sen. Lee has to say"  😕

Sunny questioning Sen. Lee 👍👍

Man I had to turn that shit fest off as well. Good God From Zion...RBM please shut the fuck up, you are as big a twat as Abbie. Oh, and Whoopie you look and sound like shit, STAY HOME.  We don't miss you when you are gone baby. Don't tweet me, I don't care. Ha.

Abby seems to have been affected by her SNL portrayal as ineffective and lacking confidence or brains.  So she was trying hard to get noticed today.

NutMeg and Joy are Feuding!

Apparently NutMeg was being a Shark today!🦈

Tweets like this convince more than anything that Meghan REALLY, REALLY wants to be a Real Housewife, instead of on The View - this sounds exactly like some the crap you see on the housewives' Twitter accounts.

They would eat her alive on the Housewives.  There would be no Whoopie to defend her, no Joy to laugh off her stupidity, no Sunny to stroke her ego by going out for drinks, no Abby to echo her asinine comments.. Nobody would care about her so-called political knowledge and daddy. Andy would not protect her either and would air the most salacious Megan moments on tape, in exchange for ratings that would line his pockets.  Megan is not as tough as she thinks she is..

Big bad ass wannabe at it again today. That was awesome to watch. From Joy rolling her eyes, Sunny, Joy ? Snickering at her, Whoopi going to commercial lmao. Doth protest too fucking much if it didn’t bother you. 

But when she’s backed into a corner, she cries and flees. Not so bad ass after all. 

Wow Abby is a special kind of stupid. She really surrounds herself with dummies Mike Lee? WTH 

[SuzieSioux]

I loved Joy ribbing Sunny today about being left out of the SNL parody: "I'm a former prosecutor... the chickens... the jealousy of her husband... I'll write it for them!" and prodding her with a huge grin on her face. Those two like each other, which is nice to see.

I finally watched the parody. I was expecting to cringe as I tend to find SNL one of the most unfunny things on television, but it was actually not too bad. I got a kick out of Whoopi spraying everyone with water at the end and finishing with them being "five best friends with nothing in common." I just think The View has provided so much material for comedians to really get cutting with, and they always err on the side of being nicer. Where I live comedians would be brutal and the women of The View would have to put up with it. But "Princess of Arizona" was pretty funny and accurate.

Also, agree with Joy: Fred Armisen was better. Joy has a very good sense of humour about herself.

As I've said countless times before, not a great fan of Whoopi, but if she has to be there, her attitude today is my preferred: calmer, more thoughtful, not getting so worked up. She sounded to be a bit under the weather to me too.

[maggiemae]

Anyone notice how MM's laughter about SNL was so different than her usual stupid girlish giggles? Seemed strange to me because I have never really heard her laugh.

Lee was completely nuts. Even Abby couldn’t take him seriously. McCain tried to make another dig at Joy during the interview and Joy just laughed at her.

Yeah, between his segments, the VYD segment, and muting bitchface, there wasnt a whole lot of content to watch today

Whoopi has given MM more than one chance to evolve into some sort of adult, but she hasnt done it. Whoops might have made a promise to the late great senator father, to have a place for MM to go and help her thru her grief.  Ding ding and ding.  Whoops, your job is done.  Now get the bitch gone lol. 

It aint never gonna happen.  Delusion of grandeur for MM.  I truly think she sees herself as the next coming of Barbara Walters.  We all know TPTB only care about ratings and are eating this all up.  Questions...was there a ratings drop after the infamous splitscreen episode? What happened the day after? Was Rosie there? Or elisabeth?  Im just thinking of the 'blue flu' so to speak.  What would TPTB do if NOONE watched on a designated day and the ratings tanked.  Or better yet, if the whole panel got up and walked out, refusing to come out while she is still at the table.  OMG now that would be ratings gold.  How can she sit there all alone at the table boohoo. Yes she'll try to continue and hopefully be gone by first comm break.  I know, keep dreaming.....

If she's so amazing at campaign strategy, she should excuse herself from her position on The View and go work for the Republican party.

If she's so amazing at campaign strategy, then why wasn't she able to help defeat Obama?  

[maggiemae]

I've been noticing she is no longer on Stephanopolis' (sp) Sunday show, lol.

She is out of her league being a self professed political analyst.

ETA - I don't watch his show.

I can't speak to the ratings, but the day after they were preempted by Bush. Rosie wasn't there, according to Barbara it was Kelly's (her at the time partner) birthday and Rosie had asked for that day off. Kathy Griffin was the guest host that day and true to form continued to bring up the fight while the other women on the table continued to try changing the subject, getting more exasperated over the duration of the show. Hilariously, Kathy started asking the guests what they thought of the fight too. There was kind of an elephant in the room situation that Kathy refused to keep quiet on.

Here is the clip from the day after.

I think they then had their prerecorded Friday show on, so they didn't actually come back to discuss it until the following week. Here is the first show they address things.

[tinkerbell]

OK, watching the show late -  Meghan says that democrats like Warren have decided to "run on impeachment instead of running on the issues."  

IS she paying any attention at all??  Because Elizabeth Warren is NOT "running on impeachment."  She has been speaking on issues for some time now, and  then since the Mueller report, said trump should be impeached.   Meghan acts like that is Warren's only campaign strategy.  

Meghan is lying. 

(also her dress is stupid)

Meghan says trump and "the mess we're in"  is the fault  of the Democrats "demonizing the right."  

What the bloody hell? That makes no sense at all.  

Oh, yeah, because she accepted an award ON BEHALF OF HER FATHER, that proves she knows all about Russia.   

Sweetie, you didn't WIN the award.  You don't know shit. 

[geekburger]

Sunny deserves a raise after today.

[tinkerbell]

according to Abby,  Mike Lee is "one of the smartest politicians  in Washington." 

SO - the rest of them are DUMBER than him?   

we're in trouble.

For this exchange alone:

Abby: What was Obama doing during the 2016 campaign to stop the Russians from..?
Sunny: He imposed sanctions.
Abby: No...
Sunny: He did. He imposed sanctions.
Abby: He also told Medvedev that he would have more flexibility when he won the next election.
Sunny: But he imposed sanctions.

I'd like to hear her elucidate all the winning Presidential campaigns she's been involved with.

I am reminded of Lady Catherine de Bourgh in Pride and Prejudice and her advice about playing the pianoforte: “If I had ever learnt, I should have been a great proficient.”

Sorry, but I agree with Meghan on this one. We hear Joy's opinion ALL THE TIME...plus I think it's rude to continually cross-examine a guest when they are there to give THEIR opinion!

Shut up, Joy, and let your guest speak. We already know what you think.

Not sure what the two wrongs are.  I am not agreeing that Joy was wrong, but if NutMeg felt that Joy was taking up valuable time where the audience could be hearing more from the guest, she didn't need to call out Joy.  That is unprofessional, whether on TV or in business or at home.  Just redirect the convo without being a bitch about it.  People do it every day all the time in their lives. NutMeg is such a child that she cannot resist being snarly.
