bannana April 23, 2019 Share April 23, 2019 You guys are genius and hilarious on here today. I just wanted to add one thing to the NutMeg meltdown. She started out by saying she got up at 5 am or something like that, that she couldn't sleep because she was so upset by Bernie and Kamala. WTAF? I thought she was a shark. Plus, NutMeg, most working people get up around 5 am. But she said it as though she was in some kind of a trauma over hearing the town halls. And, yes, that one tear, she wiped it away as Whoopi was shutting her down. 15 9 Link to comment

GHScorpiosRule April 23, 2019 Share April 23, 2019 3 hours ago, TheGreenKnight said: That was so funny. Especially when Abby screamed back, "I WANT TO KEEP THIS JOB!" Almost as if they're mocking how The View has practically transformed into Real Housewives thanks to McCain and Abby yells and acts more like a lunatic to keep up. I loved all their reactions to Real Housewives being called an example of feminism. As for McCain saying she isn't a feminist because of her abortion stance... I wouldn't consider her a feminist for many more reasons than that one. She's the most regressive woman that's ever been this show, the least accomplished who owes everything not to her own work but her surname, the most vocal against female leadership, and the one woman who will always resort to jealous catfighting with every other woman she works with (Joy, Ana, Abby, Sunny, even Whoopi occasionally). Phyllis Schalafly was probably her IDOL. 3 hours ago, MMEButterfly said: I am the Gloria Steinem-follower generation. When MM said her name with such loathing, I almost went all Indiana on her.

schroeder April 23, 2019 Share April 23, 2019 (edited) I was surprised by Meghan's reaction to the prisoner's vote. Of course in their hearts, nobody wants the Boston bomber to have a vote, but that doesn't mean they don't understand why on principle, he gets one if all prisoners get the vote. You can't just dangle one extreme example to represent a whole class. It surprised me that someone who identifies as a supporter of the constitution doesn't get this. I get that she may disagree, but she could not extricate her emotions to properly argue her policy perspective. When she got upset at Whoopi, it was almost like she was confused that Whoopi, who she likes, would disagree with her. I don't think Meghan is the reason for the rise in ratings. Rather, it's due to all the political discussions about Trump. There's been a similar rise in ratings for Colbert. Meghan is becoming more and more contemptuous and while I believe they will renew her contract, I feel like they are moving toward a situation where the arguments will get so personal that she will leave the show next year mid-season.

You are, however, a blithering idiot. Pretty much everyone I know has had a family member or multiple serve in the military. It is not a badge for MEGHAN to wear but she thinks it gives her cred because she is military adjacent. She is also a really piss poor debater who again, never shuts her brain off to hear another panelist. She just has all cued up what SHE wants to say while not getting the gist of the conversation. ABC needs to find a much smarter panelist to be the conservative voice. I really want ABC to do something about this brat. She has really ruined this show for me. I like hearing SMART women from all sides debate. Not a show to see who can yell the loudest and who Meghan is going to insult on this day. 24 Link to comment
After7Only April 23, 2019 Share April 23, 2019 4 hours ago, Apprentice79 said: Also, it really bothers me when Whoopie dismisses the feminist movement, yes, some were racists against women of color. However, there were some women who were inspired by Black women and what they had to go through as Black women in America. I wish Whoopie would educate herself on certain things. I was really shock to learn on how many Black women were part of the movement. Gloria has always mentioned the Black women who were part of the struggle for equal rights for women. Whoopi is of a age is she lived through the feminist movement of the 70s/80s, so if Whoopi dismisses the movement for whatever reason, I don't have a problem with it. Yes their are Black feminists, DESPITE the fact the feminist movement did not traditionally embrace Black women or causes important to Black women. Whoopi actually didn't bring up race into her feminism comments though. It was MM who brought it up, mostly as a knock against feminism rather than really trying to support Whoopi's comments. 13 Link to comment
SuzieSioux April 23, 2019 Share April 23, 2019 Meghan was deranged today and it was both hilarious, and made me want to slap her in the face at the same time. She really thinks her style of aggressive arguing makes her some kind of fierce lioness rather than looking like a complete lunatic. I mean when you can't get even a token applause for shrieking how terrible terrorism is, you should realise you're making a fool of yourself.

sandymck April 23, 2019 Share April 23, 2019 6 hours ago, General Days said: She really doesn't. I think Whoopi did a good job pushing back on her too, but I think she should have added like two more layers of explanation, and I'm not sure Meghan would have gotten it, even then. Part of it with Meghan is willful ignorance. She would much rather latch onto a soundbite and pivot to spew a right wing talking point, even if it doesn't really tie back into the original premise of the discussion at hand. She's not up for this job, ABC. It's not her politics. It's her lack of ability and professionalism. About to is a start, but she really needs take Meghan in hand. I feel like every girl in the western world tried to wear that outfit to kindergarten, only to have mom say, "Oh honey, no. Let me explain..." Yup. Actually, I think a significant portion of the Bravo audience would hate-watch the stuffing out of that shit. She's just horrible at this. I actually don't think people should be able to vote while they're in prison. I also happen to think a whole lot of people who are in prison shouldn't be, or shouldn't be in prison for as long as they have been/will be. That too is a separate question. Finally, I do think all ex-cons should have their voting rights restored upon release. Once they've paid their debt to society, they should be allowed to return to it. That has nothing to do with whether any single prisoner should ever be released, MEGHAN. Whether someone is released when they arguably shouldn't be doesn't even have anything to do with the voting-while-in-prison question, which was the hot topic subject, or with the related topic of restoring voting rights to former felons. Agree with all you said. Especially that their voting rights be restored upon release. That is all part of being a responsible member of society and should be encouraged. 7 Link to comment

Kemper April 24, 2019 Share April 24, 2019 I haven't watched this show regularly for years; so maybe I shouldn't weigh in with my opinion. So. I hope I'm wrong, but I have a horrible feeling that M McCain may be the last person standing. I have never been able to tolerate her; the classic Born on Third Base Thinking She Hit a Triple. Then trading off her father's death to stay relevant. But that is just it...she sucks up all the air and attention and I am afraid network execs think this is what brings in ratings. The awfulness of her behavior, the disrespect she shows for everyone on the show.. that seems to be her schtick. And the fact that she hasn't been given some sort of "time out" says a lot. 21 Link to comment
Tosia April 24, 2019 Share April 24, 2019 So, this national tv show spends, I mean wastes several minutes letting MM misconstrue/hijack the issue, AND wastes more time as Whoopi tries to tell MM that her protests are NOT THE fucking issue. Moronic. So this is what ABC wants the View to be. Disgusting low class television. I sincerely hope Joy talked to Whoops last week about letting MM continue to disrespect Joy--who is supposedly an longtime friend of Whoops--and asking why that is ok....promise to Daddy McCain notwithstanding. I also wonder if Joy asked Whoops how she feels about MM taking this show down this stupid road of screeching craziness that confirms the worst stereotypes of women not conversing intelligently --AND if the legacy of this current MM shitshow is what Whoops wants to leave as moderator of this once venerated (at least BW's original idea) show? Does Whoops care at all? Or does Whoops even give a fuck beyond the $? 18 Link to comment

Abt 20 (?) years ago, I was very happy to aee girls serving at the altar, and adult women reading scripture at the front podium for mass. I go to church when I go back to Nebraska to visit family; otherwise I attend a progressive Unity church in a different state. I am wholeheartedly pro-choice, and have escorted women into clinics amid vile, insulting protesters.

Don't forget that her parents got a divorce and we don't know how that affected her rigid views of marriage. Edited April 24, 2019 by Apprentice79 6 Link to comment
