(threw in word brassiere for Joy, she hates that word.)

Yikes!  I always thought she liked it and has used "bra" only recently.

I’ve only heard her refer to the garment as brassiere.  She can’t wait to get her brassiere off once home.  I think other ladies always chuckle.

Im sorry Whoops, i just cant.... is this from the Handmaids couture line?  Would be great in a hospital. Like to see the back....there is a back right? Lol. The shoes, while looking clunky and comfortable would probably have to go for something else in that vast collection

I can see it now has 2 ties in the back exposing the buttocks. 

[Kenz]

Did MM really say to John Huntsman, the ambassador to Russia, that he was in the city of Satan? I'll bet he really appreciated that comment. She's such a dunce.

[maggiemae]

Notice the daughters never mention Abby's dad being Ambassador to China under Obama.

Could it be Meghan despises Obama?

Omg i just had a thought....what if the Abby went into labor the same time as the pending royal baby??  Yikes!  I dont know how far along she is, but she's  been holding steady for awhile at 6 1/2 months.  Wonder what it really is.....da...da....dummmmmmm!

Meghan will start screeching that Abby's birth is more important because she isn't interested in the royal family at all, and this is America where people fought to be free of the British and quite frankly she is only going to care about Abby the American!

God, she's a mess! What a gross thing to say: "You're doing the Lord's work in the City of Satan." Jeez! I wasn't going to watch this but the comments about how odd her parents were behaving had me curious. It really was strange! And typical Meghan, making everything all about her whenever she spoke. Everyone has to know she knows the Huntsmans personally!

Bitsy was the one who cringed when Joy used the word.

[maggiemae]

I'm sorry - I think it is horrid so many children think they are actually friends of their Dads.

Personally I can't imagine - but hey, I grew up in the time of children should be seen and not heard, lol.

However - I get friends and families getting together - meals, games, videos. And bonding families.

But I can never, ever think John's friends were Meghans......since he was busy in DC and traveling the world and MM was a kid - and then off to college and living in LA and NYC.

I get Biden and Lieberman being fatherly.......good for them. But not for MM getting over her grief and learning to accept it as best she can.

Her mememe about hugging Biden despite his problem (which I don't think is serious - but so many do) despite his feelings and trying so hard when coming in and doing what she did is disgusting. 

The bitch does not get it.

[debbie311]

Abby's mom looked so weird!  Why was she turned that way during the entire interview?  How old is she anyway?

I have to say MM looked better than usual, but sorry, there is NO WAY she is a size 12.

yes something came off as grossly affected with Abby’s mother.  She kinda looked like a shy teenager and yet also looked like a privileged country club mom.  I can’t figure it out.  It was just so...odd.

She was freakily weird.  She was sitting pointing away from her husband.  Why?  Surely they have done interviews together before.  What was going on there?  Even if one is in an interview without one's husband, one wouldn't strangely point one's body in the opposite direction, 🙃

So clearly they informed the View hosts beforehand about the 90 second delay.  That didn't stop NutMeg from shrieking her comments throughout, throwing off the interview.

I don't like to comment on people's weight/appearance, skinny or fat.  But I cannot believe the horrid dress they put NutMeg into today.  However, it was educational.  She basically has minimal ass and slim legs.  A bit of a tummy (not protruding).  But she has pretty huge shoulders and back, and ginormous boobs.

Hence, they are dressing her all wrong.  

What I don't get is why she goes along with whatever nightmare they dress her in.  She has said she doesn't care.

“I have the attention span of a hamster on meth, I’m a classic millennial, like, I have the attention span of right here,” McCain said, snapping her fingers in a cloud around her face. “I was confused last night, I was confused in the meeting.”

Thank you!  I knew someone hated the word but got the someones mixed up.  I deserve a slap or a spanking for getting Joy & Bitsy mixed up.  Cripes.  The memory - recall is worse than I thought.

I heard her say that and I thought WTF is wrong with her.

Also when Joy brought up Lindsay Graham Meghan said she isn't talking about Graham on the air anymore.  What's wrong Meghan?  You don't want to defend Uncle Lindsay publicly?

She has pilfered this overused quote by her favorite politician (I'm leery of saying more and I haven't seen this episode yet).

It was a dog whistle. Two mormon missionaries volunteers* in Russia were recently detained for 3 weeks before being deported for religious proselytizing.

Jehovah's Witnesses were officially banned a couple years ago - with the Russian Orthodox church being behind similar decisions as much as the gov't is. 

NutNeg was proud to throw gasoline on a fire, with her Satan comment to the US ambassador to Russia.

*Missionaries are called volunteers in countries that don't issue visas to religious influencers. 

[GoldenGirl90]

I've been watching the show less and less and this morning I'm reminded why.

Meghan just scolded Sunny for freakin' looking at her. Looking. At. Her.

Abby and Meghan are still playing the "But Obama" game while discussing the Barr hearing and I'm sick of it. I'm changing the channel, but I'll read everyone's responses later to see what they discuss during the rest of the show. I'm out!

Edited May 2, 2019 by Alexis2291

[Apprentice79]

Megan cannot help herself in being nasty for no reason. Her rudeness to Sunny was uncalled for and as always she was muddying up the waters because the facts are not on her side. 

[Haleth]

Geez, of all days for Joy to be sick!  Meg and her mini-me are feeling emboldened in their Trumpist trumpeting and "whataboutist" false equivalences.  I was planning on bailing (baling?) before Dershowitz but I may not make it that far. 

[Tunia]

Sick?  I'm betting Joy went home pissed.  In that first block, NutMeg was ultra sensitive, and I'm wondering what happened backstage beforehand.

I will not be watching Dershowitz, but, I am sure Sunny will not let him get away with his BS.

[ari333]

Next MM will snap, " Why don't you look at me when I speak?" heh

So Joy *WAS* there and she left... sick?

Some people on this show make me sick too.

I agree. 

Why not just say "Joy is out sick"?  Saying she "went home sick" makes us all wonder.

I guess Meghan needs to pick on Sunny, since Joy isn't there.

That's what I gathered based on the way Whoopi said it. She "went home."

She even snapped at Abby and Abby looked taken aback by her tone of voice. Something must have happened for her to be nastier than usual..

Edited May 2, 2019 by Apprentice79

[General Days]

Oh, I missed the first eight minutes. Please someone, give me a run-down?

I came in as Whoopi was saying, "... the appearance of impropriety went far, and they took care of it, but how do you explain the rest of it..." then something about secret meetings.

Then Abby blathered something and said she still wants to hear from Mueller.

I was expecting him to be worse and surprised I didn't change the channel.

E. L. James - speaking as a huge reader and a librarian - her first books were so poorly edited it was ridiculous.  How anyone got through them is beyond me.

Here is a quote from UK publisher - Critics have called her writing boring and clunky; Salman Rushdie said he had “never read anything so badly written that got published. It made Twilight look like War and Peace”. Writing in the New York Times, columnist Maureen Dowd called James “Brontë devoid of talent”.

I never read the 50 Shades series. As I understand it, it began as erotic Twilight fan fiction. I started to read Twilight, because my then-young daughter wanted to read it, and I wanted to make sure it wasn't inappropriate. 

It was only inappropriate for fans of good writing, so I let her read it, but did not finish it myself. I didn't enjoy James' segment that much, because she just doesn't interest me.

I am not sorry I missed Abby's birthday yesterday, even as I watched the beginning of th end of my beloved country.

I'm not sure I'm going to make it through the Dersh's segment. He's disgusting.

It must be contagious. I was feeling fine before the show came on and 10 minutes into it I began to get nauseous and now my eyes and ears hurt!

She seemed very pissy during the segment about the Barr hearing. As @Tunia mentioned, I wonder if something happened backstage. Not sure how she acted after they came back from commercial break because I changed the channel.

Suspicious connection between Joy "going home sick" and Nutmeg being super-duper nasty this morning, and she's on her high entitled horse to everyone.   Something happened in the morning meeting, I'm thinking, that was so almighty bitching awful that Joy left the building and now Meggy is feeling more powerful than ever.   I loathe her so much I cannot even find the words to describe it.   Loathe is all I've got.   She's loathsome.   Make that LOATHSOME.

She needs to go, this is not the right format for her. She is so angry all the time and at some point she will have a meltdown on the show..

I think Joy told her off good and that explains why she was on a tear this morning and picked on Sunny the nearest Democrat to unload her anger since Joy was absent.  If she felt powerful she would be in a good mood after having made Joy leave this morning.  Joy will never give her the split screen moment that she wants in order to propel herself like it did with Bitsy.

Maybe someone brought in a tape measure to show Meghan she isn't a size 12! That would make her nastier than usual!

[Bronzedog]

I have to agree that Joy probably went home "sick of this shit" rather than actually sick.  I was hoping Meghan would answer Sunny when Sunny said. "I can't look at you?" because I think Sunny is ready to rip her a new one. Too bad Sunny is always so professional.

[Haleth]

I have a hard time picturing Joy throwing in the towel and going home sick rather than throwing Meg down but who knows?

[Coffeewinewater]

Looks like Sunny was pretty sick of Meghan at the end.  She was facing away from her. 

I'm glad The  View finally got a straight shooter on there. 🙄

I only tuned in today to watch Joy's reaction to Barr. 

No Joy 😐

Rosie has said the "split screen" has to be set up in advance so it would be on the producers if they did it to Joy. Of course, that was years ago maybe the split can be set up faster now, but I doubt the producers would do that to Joy.

Were not talking Getty and Ro!

Memory? What's that?

[ari333]

I kind of wish Joy didn't leave bc it seems like a win for MM. I hope she is not sick, but I really think something went down backstage. I think if she were sick she wouldn't have come in the first place... not show up and leave before air.

One clue, MM describes herself as a straight shooter and she airs her grievances like in Seinfeld's  Festivus. Something happened. I hope Joy spills the beans.

Sometimes in life, you don't want to be aggravated especially by somebody as loathsome as Megan. Perhaps, Joy just did not want to be bothered in trying to debate about Barr with an ignorant fool like Megan.

[Bronzedog]

Everyone has a limit as to how much they're going to put up with.  Especially when you get older and can afford to just walk away.  That's why I think that unless Meghan is gone next season Joy will be.

[Coffeewinewater]

11 minutes ago, Haleth said:

I agree. I ff most of the show. It really is becoming unwatchable.  I love Joy and Sunny. But Meghan and Whoopi make it not worth tuning in most days. 

Like I said I tuned today just to get Joy's take on yesterday's hearing.  I started FF after Meghan snapped at Sunny about looking at her. wtf?! I watched a bit at the end about the gossiping . Then just deleted.  It's Meghan's show and Whoopi is there to make sure her baby gets her time to talk. 

[Jewell2]

There is a huge difference between being a straight shooter who speaks her mind and being a rude petulant child.   I have yet to see Meghan look someone in the eye and make her point.  She usually flips her hair and looks at her blue cards, or hides behind her coffee cup.  Glaring across the table until you speak, and then looking away after you’ve made your point is very cowardly.  Meghan is so very childish it’s embarrassing 

[General Days]

What happened?

[General Days]

Never mind. Found it. The way the thread read, I was afraid Joy started out on the episode and then left.

[deirdra]

33 minutes ago, Haleth said:

I can.  Dealing with an overgrown toddler every day would be exhausting and not worth the stress.  And MM's producer may have taken her side, so Joy said forget it.  

[General Days]

I suspect Joy is actually sick. I thought Meghan had the work blues last week and took off, but since she's been back, her eyes have been glassy,  and she still looks like she's fighting off something.

I don't think Joy would just refuse to appear on the show, because Meghan's being Meghan. 

[Coffeewinewater]

Where did the idea come from that Joy left before the show? Is it some gossip online or is it just speculation on this thread?
