Even Obama was guilty of doing it to candidate Trump during the G-8 summit in 2016. They all do it. Hypocrisy is rampant on both sides of the political aisle.

I am not an American, so I could definitely be wrong, but every news show said that Trump is the first President ever to criticize an American, let alone a former Vice President, while on foreign soil.  Plus doing it while sucking up to a murdering dictator. 🙃

Just for the record, I find Lamar Odom average looking at best.

At best is right...but I think you're too kind.  Women, women, women, what some don't tell their men!

That Lamar Odom "interview" was so uncomfortable.   I actually switched channels during a commercial.   He was either very nervous or didn't actually write that book, or something, because he could not answer with anything other than "yeah".   One of the women would go on and on about something in the book and finally say, "Is that right, Lamar?".   "Yeah".   If he's that squishy about talking about what's in the book, maybe he shouldn't have 'written' it in the first place, if everything is too painful or embarrassing to discuss.  He clearly has issues, and I hope he's successful in overcoming them, but he really did not seem ready to be interviewed about any of this. 

I don't mean to seem judgmental because he obviously have been through a lot; it's just that I don't think he's ready to go so public about it all, or at the very least is uncomfortable discussing it in any detail.   Which I don't understand - it's all in the book already, right?

Lamar's discomfort and reticence was very odd. And strange because he did an interview about the same book on GMA and seemed normal. Maybe it was the live format? 🤔

Today's show is a repeat (due to Robert Mueller's testimony) on all channels.  Even my Canadian channels are showing a repeat!!!  Bummer!!

Never. Her stance is usually: "Worrying about climate change is for poor people." You can replace "climate change" in that sentence with any other issue to get her stance on those, too.

I have to disagree.  I have always taken Meghan's view as only rich elite celebs worry about climate change "regular middle America " doesn't have time to care, they want jobs. Then she usually goes on to criticize the rich elites about their private jets blah blah. She's never expressed any real opinion about the environment except to criticize those that speak out on it. So,  I do agree she doesn't care.  But she continues to spew the  same bs that poor people can't be bothered.  Instead of telling her middle American blue color workers that she claims to know so well to get informed because it will affect them first. Hell it already is. But that's not as fun and bitchy as constantly bringing up Al Gore and Leonardo DiCaprio. 

[falltime]

I didn't know today was a rerun. So this is me when I see Ana walk out then Abby right behind her.

I was so confused 😆

The irony in poor people not caring about climate change is that the poor and middle class are the people who will feel the burden of climate change before the rich will. When the fresh water runs still and the ice roads melt, it'll be the farmers and truck drivers who feel the pain. The rich will buy up land and access to resources that will push others into congested areas where the air is a bit dirtier, the resources are more limited, etc. Meghan also says she believes in climate change. I call BS on that. If you believe in climate change, there is no way you would be so dismissive about politicians who have climate change on their list of policies they are running on. And further to that, there is no way you believe in climate change and still think it's not even in your top 30 of important issues.

Same here.  Abby threw me for a loop at first.  But when they were showing the tweets from POTUS it was dated April 4th.  I dont think it was a planned rerun so i wonder what happened that they had to do the rerun.

No wasnt just you.  She was trying to make a point about Standards and censors and the 7 second rule.  I had heard somewhere that it is literally a person sitting with a mute buzzer if someone goes rogue.  What a job that must be!  You must constantly be on it. No chit chat there.  Im breaking a sweat just thinking about it. 🍺😎

They should have that button at hand whenever Meghan opens her mouth

If you read a few posts above, the show said it would continue with its original airing after Mueller making a statement, but it ended up being preempted.  Hence the repeat.

I did see that.  I figured it had to do with Mueller. The timing worked here though, it was the hour before the View came on.  Which is the first time thats ever happened.  I always have the same vision when theyre preempting the show of 45 gleefully watching saying 'take that Ladies of the View'

I'll have to read here to know whether I should bother to watch today. I want to see Warren so I may watch anyway.
 

[Haleth]

So Meghan deflects the controversy re Trump and the McCain ship to complain about the criticism she gets on social media regarding how often she mentions her father?  What?  She started off well then turned it into the All About Meghan’s Pain Show again. 

[GladysCravits]

Yes!!  She’s so self centered.  Unbelievable!

Once again she Meghan conflates herself and her dad.  It is possible to talk about one without bringing up the other.

They will discuss everything related to John McCain and Meghan's grief/constant victimhood as the first hot topic, but refuse to talk about other big stories where Meghan herself is in controversy. I'm so sick of this Meghan McCain Sympathy Tour. Enough already.

I'm watching for Elizabeth Warren.  

The first five minutes  of the Meghan show are vomit inducing,  be warned west coasters.

[Ladyrain]

Nutmeg's grandfather and great-grandfather were in the military!   Yes they were - she just said so!!   And her father too!!  

Yes, I'm being snarky, but only toward MM and her endless veneer of patriotism.   I hold Senator McCain in the highest regard; he gave almost all I had to give in service to this country, which he loved and respected and honored.   But Meghan's constant reference to him, and the military, and the flag, and yada yada is ironic.   She had just as much of an opportunity to serve the US as her father, brothers, grandfather, great-grandfather and yet she never did.   Talk is cheap.

  I realize the issue probably had to be addressed today, so maybe I should give her a pass.   But only today. 

Pardon me and never mind.  I posted this in the wrong week's thread.  My post was referring to the 5/30.2019 show.😔

Eliz Warren is fired up. It’s worth watching for her. 

[Cementhead]

Fuck off, Meghan with your verbal heart emojis and love to Fox News.  Go back there if you loved working there so much.  Were you fired or just asked to leave?

"I worked at Fox, I'm assuming you don't think I'm a bad person." - something to that affect.

She finds every possible way to make everything about her. And yes Meghan, most people think you're a terrible fucking person. Warren is just too classy to say it aloud.

[Ladyrain]

Nutty to Sen. Warren:  "I worked at Fox News.   I don't think you consider me a bad person."   

EW:  "No of course not" (or some such polite response).

Ladyrain:  "Yes I do, Nutmeg!  You're a self-centered, rude, screechy abomination!"

[longobongo]

If MM read the comments on the Fox News article about the Navy hiding the name of the ship John S McCain I don't think she'd be too happy with their viewers response to her comments. They hate her.

[Coffeewinewater]

I'm so happy Elizabeth Warren explained her position on the  Fox Town Hall meetings. Everyone can now shut the hell up about poor wittle fox not getting a fair chance. EW can run her campaign her way,  everyone else can run theirs.  Of course everything EW said went right over Meghan's head.

[Jewell2]

I love the way EW wouldn’t let Meghan interrupt her.   Meghan almost looked like she was going to cry (again) when she was going after FOX.   

[Haleth]

Oh, thank goodness they ran out of time before Whoopi could ask a dumb question about insurance. No, Whoopi, they don’t keep your premiums in a vault for you to withdraw. 

[merriebreeze]

Thank goodness somebody finally got smart and stopped Whoopi from asking her nonsensical questions about insurance

On a positive note, Elizabeth Warren is the only reason I didn't change the channel, but I'm about to now. Later guys and gals! 😎

[Coffeewinewater]

Thankfully whoopi was cut off. I would have had so much second hand embarrassment for her if she asked Elizabeth Warren one of her cringe worthy questions about Insurance. 

[Bronzedog]

There's a Broadway play about going to the prom?  An entire play?  Um, ok.

[lusinia]

I'm pretty sure Meghan was dissing Nicolle Wallace when she mentioned seeing someone ask Beto O'Rourke how the media could cover him better, and that she thought it was a ridiculous question. 

Beto was on Nicolle's show in the last week or two, and I do think she asked him that.  I'm surprised Meghan watches it, quite frankly.  Only in her dreams could she anchor a show solo with the ease that Nicolle does.

[Cementhead]

I stopped watching before Whoopi got cut off with her insurance question.  But I have to tell you guys that the number #1 guaranteed way to make me laugh out loud on any given day is to read the comments here about Whoopi and her insurance obsession.  It literally makes me laugh every time.  It never gets old.  Hell, just even thinking about how Whoopi gets so riled up about it makes me laugh.  🤣 Nothing lights that woman's fire more!  (With bike lanes, a less-mentioned close second.)

I wonder how many times Meghan rehearsed her speech today?

McCain talk trumps Mueller talk. Just like Trump wanted. Meghan, Trump is using you.
