Craig Ferguson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Smartest and funniest talk show host ever! 

He had a new book out. He was on Colbert last week. 

Love him and miss him on my tv.

Can I  stream his old talk show?  

[heysmilinstrange]

Wow, great week of guests.

[GoldenGirl90]

I wonder if Meghan is gonna talk all that smack about Beto O’Rourke to his face? 

[Vixenstud]

Howard?!  Wow.  I look forward to reading his book.

[ari333]

Oh Lord,, I agree with Whoopi! on pro choice

MM cannot stop rolling her eyes out of her head and down the hall

Did Meghan say, "liberals believe in science when it comes to climate change, but not conception of life?" Something along those lines? She also called abortion murder. We already know this, but she is incredibly misinformed and clearly doesn't know the first thing about the "science" behind what she speaks of...

Meghan also took a shot at Ana, who she randomly questioned on whether she's pro-life or pro-choice, because Meghan "isn't sure." It reminded me of Meghan questioning Ana on whether she's still a Republican.

Nutmeg is stewing on the panel, she is angry about people having a different opinion on Abortion.  This is why I love Sunny, she believes what she believes and has no desire to foist her beliefs on others.

Megan has some nerve criticizing Constance Wu, giving that Mr. Nutmeg rage tweeted last week.  She should have stayed quiet during that segment. 

Ana is just sublime. I am just happy that she is here today. 

[Picture It. Sicily]

Meghan honestly thinks the right is scientifically honest about when life starts? Go fuck yourself, you dumb overpaid bitch.

The Supreme Court had a different opinion too.  Guess when SHE's President, she'll strike that one.

Roe v. Wade was a 1973 landmark decision by the US Supreme Court. The court ruled that a state law that banned abortions (except to save the life of the mother) was unconstitutional. ... Roe was limited by a later decision called Webster v. Reproductive Health (1989), which allowed regulation of abortion in some cases.

Sure, she'll try her weak-ass gotcha question, even though it fails epically every single time.  

The people she tries to "get" are so much smarter than her.  

Actually, everyone, anyone is so much smarter than her.  

Or maybe she'll be "sick" again.

Chickenshit.

You are right, she is delusional and believes she should be on the panel with these women who made their own way.

I get a kick out of her coming out everyday with a scowl on her face.  There is tension between her and Sunny because Sunny barely looked at her today.

Ana’s here to make The View watchable again. Everybody but you know who had such a great time today. Nice to see them laughing and getting along.

It’s funny to me how thirsty McCain is to go after actors—any actor will do—considering a member of Hollywood helped her get on this show (Whoopi) and has shielded her for two years despite the fact she’s a snowflake who throws a fit every other day. She is so unaware and ungrateful.

Quite obvious that she just learned this word that morning.  I don't follow her on Twitter, but I'd be willing to bet that MM regularly retweets things that she has not researched or fully thought through.  It's the nature of Twitter.  

MM really doesn't bring anything to the pro-life discussion other than abortion is murder, especially when she doesn't even want to consider rape, incest, life of the mother, or severe deformities of the fetus.  I also found interesting that during her abortion is murder rant, Anna tried to interjet, and MM pretty rudely cut her off with a "let me finish" as she just continued saying repeating abortion is murder.    Anna's face was not happy.   Then when Anna finally got a chance to talk, MM interrupted her multiple times.  If Anna is there on a regular basis, I predict a major MM/Anna blow up soon.  

Also like seeing Whoopi push back on MM.   She's doing it more and more.  She seems to be the only one who can, without MM getting disrespectful.   Which may be why some people think Whoopi coddles. her?

Meghan, if you are going to use "science" as justification for your views, please cite specific sources.  I wanted someone to ask her if there should be any exception for rape and incest because that's wherein the hypocracy lies.

That's a conveniently ignorant statement considering that while science has determined point of conception, science is not unaninmous in what consitutes the point of human life.

I don't think she believes in any exceptions.  When the other panelists brought up gray areas like rape and incest.  MM repeated that the issue is black and white and abortion is murder.  

So when MM says that the liberal pro-choice platforms don't have room for women like her, I'm not sure what she is expecting.   Pro-choice means you can decide for yourself and family whether or not you would like an abortion.   Just don't know what room can be made for someone who's opinion is 'if your choice is different than mine, you are a murderer'.   

[dr. gailey]

NutMeg gets on my nerves. I like that Sunny has her beliefs but doesn't try to force them on people unlike Nutmeg. Like it has been said countless times, if you don't want an abortion, don't have one. You can't make people feel the same way as you do. NutMeg gets upset anytime someone asks her when she is going to have kids. It is her choice on when and if she wants a family. She should give that choice to other women. Like Joy said, they only care while the child is in utero. If NutMeg cared about the kids, she would be more vocal about the policies her current President is making to hurt these babies she want to be born.

Don't tempt fate.

[Tunia]

Imagine the dilemma that Nutmeg would face if she were to find herself to be pregnant after stating so many times that she doesn't want children.  Presuming she accepted her plight and bore her child, I can't imagine the agonies that child might face throughout his/her life with such a mother.

While I disagree with Meghan's stance on abortion (and the way she shares it), I totally agree that the proposed sex strike is not feminist.

I assumed Alyssa was being facetious when she said that. Joy did tell her that  if Abortion is banned then it will be birth control.. Megan needs to read about what happened in Romania when Abortion and birth control were not only banned but women were mandated by the government to have 5 kids to increase the country's population.  The unintended consequences were horrific and chilling.

If it doesn't affect Her Twatness, then she doesn't give any fucks. As she has shown, told and proven. I cannot wait for her to disappear into irrelevancy again.

I like how Joy not-so-subtly implied McCain was a hypocrite when she told Sunny, after Sunny said she was also against the death penalty and for gun control to protect lives from out-of-control gun violence, that at least she is consistent.

No. The original question was why Meghan brought up Heigl, when the topic was Constance Wu. My reply, "burning bridges" was because when Heigl was on Grey's Anatomy and left/wanted to leave, she burned bridges when she trash talked the show. I don't know that--it's just what I've read. And Constance Wu's tweets last week were of a similar nature. And that's probably why Meghan brought her up.

This show will not jettison Meghan until after 2020. If anyone else other than her had acted the say she has? They'd have been FIRED looong ago. Yet here she still remains.

[bannana]

Nutmeg's upper lip was in full snarl mode today, but there was no screeching or lunging across the table.  Someone has talked to her.

But as you all have mentioned, the complete lack of self-awareness she must have to criticize anyone who tweets without thinking of the consequences, well 🤦‍♀️

And while Wu's tweets were certainly ill-advised there is no comparison to what Mr. Nutmeg rage-tweeted.  That is swept under the carpet and NutMeg continues to blather on with her opinions on other people's stupid tweets.

I agree with this, but I am hoping that she will implode during a tirade when somebody pushes back on her talking points  and she says unspeakable things that will get her fired..

HEY!  That happened before she was born.  We've learned that anything before October 23, 1984--the Year of Our Princess (or a certain Republican convention) is of any import.

She does ABC much more harm than good.  Even if the ratings are up I don't attribute that to Meghan. I don't know what the suits think they are accomplishing by having her at that table. She doesn't do her party in favors. And she sure as fuck doesn't do us viewers any favors by having to watch and listen to her obnoxious behavior.

I wonder if she does.  She has been playing the "knows it all" game for so long she no longer has a sliver of shame, embarrassment, excuses, or self-awareness.  When Professor Irwin Corey died a couple of years ago, Meghan became the World's Foremost Authority™ (on everything).

Was so happy to see Ana in the credits and at the table. Hope she’s the full time fill in for Abby.

The abortion conversation was great because it showed the panelists all with true differing opinions. This show is best when that is on full display.
