Yeah, Joy definitely had her eyelids done, which explains why she wore the dark glasses for weeks, while they healed. 

What puzzles me is - did she also get Lasik?  because she went from wearing glasses to wearing dark glasses  to now wearing NO glasses (I didn't see today's show, so I don't know if she had glasses today)  and now her eye makeup is weird.  

so did she have cataract surgery AND lasik?  (that would make sense, I guess, to do those together)  but then also cosmetic surgery on her eyelids?

Cataract surgery implants new lenses and often they can get your sight to 20/20.  I wore only reading glasses before cataract surgery...and didn't need them again for 5-6 years after the surgeries.

Argh, I’m yelling at Whoopi and Joy to find their words. The ones they want to hear from are the people using alleged sex trafficking as the excuse for separating children from adults at the border. That’s what Whoopi is trying to say.

Man, Meg is hitting all the points today. She’s tough (check), everyone else is a snowflake (check), she loves to shoot (check), no kids (check), my father (check), everyone is mean to me (check)...

MEghan is a 1 trick pony.  It must be so tough to be all of 34 and know it all and have to hang with these librul rubes daily 🙄

Maybe they "ordered" her to clarify and She Who Has Some Clout refused because she thinks marriage counseling is voodoo.

Meghan also used HYPERBOLE in suggesting that government-paid marriage counseling would require "a social worker for every couple"  as if a marriage therapist can only see one couple. 

Am I wrong in thinking that Meghan once said she went to grief counseling?  What hypocrisy!

Cool. I had no idea.

I don't really know much about Andrew Yang, but I really need the ladies to stop calling him "Andrew Young."

The also could have let him talk. Before he could explain his idea they would interrupt him. Joy was really bad.   I actually yelled at her to let him talk.  Did the shut his mike off today ?

Whoopie was the only one listening to his answers.  I really disliked that whole segment and it wasn’t Andrew Yangs fault. 

Megans the democratic trying to put a peg in one hole thing was stupid too.  Democratic republicans or independents are all going to have a policy they feel fits most people.

Here's something weird.  My best friend wore glasses from third grade on (1948) for nearsightedness.  She tried contacts when we were seniors in high school (and had jobs). 1957-58  She wasn't successful.  Eventually she got some that really helped and wore them for decades.  She also got two different "strengths," one for driving/looking and one for reading.  She said her brain eventually learned how to use them--no problem.  When she went for cataract surgery, the doctor tried to talk her into the lenses that would give her 20/20 in both eyes.  NOPE!  She wanted what she was used to--eyes seeing two different ways.  Now, 6-7 years later she has to hold menus up to her face to read them.  OY!

Did the doctor let her have two different strength lenses?  I've had contacts with 20/20 vision in my dominant eye, and 1 diopter under-corrected in my non-dominant eye for 24 yrs and love it (my brain adapted immediately, some don't).  Not only can I read near and far without glasses, I also can see intermediate distances well when teaching computing over someone's shoulder (~twice the distance one sits from their own computer screen).

I’ve noticed much different dark  and larger eye shower/ liner on her.  Her eyes look smaller to me because of it. Would shadow cover up scars?  It kinda doesn’t make sense to have cosmetic surgery when they will soon be on vacation  I also know she is deathly afraid of surgery but maybe it’s done while awake. I’d do it if I could afford it. I have a friend who is not the least bit vain and had her lids done, and a friend had to tend to her for a couple of days. I love love love  Joy and I love makeup, but the makeup folks for  all of them do them no favors. 

Oh crap the shaking limping animal ASPC commercial does me in. 

Today MM being so indignant about the blow back she gets on Twitter makes me happy as she shifts in her chair and curls her upper lip.

Yup. The lenses have been further improved but when I had my surgery I was given the choice of perfect near or far vision. I chose to be able to see distance but just last year got glasses for driving. And I need readers but it was worth it to ditch the contacts. 

Anyway, on Sunny’s recommendation I began reading the Mueller report after the show. It’s a quick read with a bunch of redactions, not too technical with legal jargon, and thoroughly chilling. EVERY American should read this.

Re all the comments on the difference in Joy's appearance. I don't know if she had any cosmetic work or not, but for years she has worn glasses on the show (prior to the cataract surgery and the dark glasses) so you couldn't really notice her eyes or her eye makeup. Now, post surgery, she's not wearing glasses because presumably, she doesn't need them. So it just seems weird to see her without them.  JMO.

I agree, we got used to the glasses. This pic is from December and she looks the same to me.

Ellie Kemper should have clarified that her son wants to name the new baby Marshall after the main character on Paw Patrol! It might have helped Joy follow the story better. 

Like Joy, I'm mad at Whoopi because she convinced Ellie not to reveal her girl name. Mind one your own business, Whoops!

“My in-laws are evangelicals” WHY does she take everything personally 😴

She needs a cohost that's not afraid of getting personal. Someone that will say "Yea, and what about it? 😗" She thinks making it personal will end the convo and take attention away from the facts and on to her being a victim. They need to just have a what about it attitude to scare her off.

She could have gotten the drooping eyelid surgery...many of my friends are having to do that under doctors recommendation, not for aesthetics. She looks similar to a couple of friends who had to have that done.

How is it that all of us watching got what Whoopi was trying to say, questioning why evangelicals are not speaking up, but Meghan has to take it personally and say, well, my in-laws are evangelicals and THEY are nice, so...

Just my opinion, but I believe that if Hillary was president and this happened, the evangelicals would be ALL OVER this story with their condemnations.  Quite sure Meghan knows that so she has to come up with some lame comment in defense of evangelicals.

Isn't the point of this show to talk about the different VIEWS of the co-hosts?  The person who can't respectfully listen and has to take everything personally needs to leave.

If she feels like a caged animal now,  imagine the swearing and reaming she would give her producer if one of them called her out.  

The interrogation Whoopi was giving Sunny was embarrassing and sounded childish. Yeah well what did you fail in and what else did you fail and what did you do? It had a I know you are but what am I tone. I admire Sunny for not faltering and glad that you feel she  wasn’t tearing up.  If Whoopi did that inquisition and tone with MeeAgain she’s come unhinged. 

I am calling for her resignation.

I did like Whoopi's point that evangelicals have plenty to say about a woman's right to choose, or who should be allowed to marry and adopt, but they are silent on this topic.

Yeah!  Wish Whoopi were more articulate and (in this case) had more time.  These points are excellent and IMPORTANT!  Meghan has no ammunition.

If that is what it means to be evangelical no thanks.

They also tend to be the ones who believe that all the Jews have to be in Israel to bring on the end times, ie for Jesus to come back and slaughter most of them and convert the remainder to Christianity. So yeah, no thanks! Meghan's fake tears and anger against certain politicians who have called out AIPAC are kind of obvious for what they are in this light.

I am not unconvinced that trafficking of children will not be uncovered in years to come.

This. And I also loved Whoopi (and Joy) cutting her off when she started talking about her in-laws being Evangelicals.

All you have to do is Google evangelicals and pedophilia and you get a wealth of convictions.

Just a few thoughts about today's show - 

Although others have mentioned this, I'll be honest I barely noticed until today: Sunny is realllly (!) not even glancing at MM. I'm sorry, this is so petty of me but I thought it was funny.

MM coming out and saying that Whoopie's thought about evangelicals was political - What?  Whoopie clearly stating that it was a thought in HER head, it was HER question not a _state your partisan label here_  view.  MM continuing trying to say it was political.

Whoopie's point to me was clear.  Evangelicals seemed to have something about the football players kneeling, gay marriage, transgender, illegal immigrants, justifying the orange guy's complete lack of Christian values as having values of any kind.  Why aren't they vocal about the total disregard for the poor, the weak, the ones' without a voice (the children in the camps, the families separated, children being trafficked) when that is who JESUS says/said we should protect, help, defend.

MM saying her in-laws are evangelicals and are nice people.  Whoopie and Joy saying that they (her in-laws) are not prominent leaders/talking heads with a platform.  MM appeared to be left speechless.

Whoopie seeming to lay into Sunny about losing.  Sunny's point being that losing at things that are important to you can make you stronger.  Whoopie's examples of Sunny losing were silly games (well, maybe not Jeopardy,  😑 I would take that seriously too!).

MM's belt popped off! Hee, hee, hee!

Totally off topic: I wonder if tomorrow they will talk about Acosta's press conference and how he spoke in Spanish?  Since hearing a different language is apparently offensive to someone's ears.

Her eye makeup seems much harsher, too. The eyeliner is dark and thick on the top and bottom lid. Spent too much time trying to figure out the difference. M's eyebrows are darker and thicker, too. Hope Joy addresses the mystery!

I don't think MM's brain actually works/thinks, she memorizes Republican talking points and reads her hubby's views off blue cards.

And I noticed that, Gemma.  Sunny needs to share words of fortification with Joy and take a deep breath before she can tolerate an hour of sitting that close to the bitch who wants her fired.

Whoopi does also get a kind of nasty look on her face whenever she has a go at Sunny about her private life, her jealousy, her not liking to lose, her kids, etc.  When Sunny is doing her lawyerly thing, Whoopi is respectful and seems to admire her.  But the other stuff, not so much.

Sunny has joked about being a sore loser and being competitive.  If Whoopi had said just one comment it would have been fine, but she appeared to be really wanting to goad her.  Sunny rolled with it and handled it fine, and kept trying to make her more serious point.  And then, to show what a good sport she is, later in the show, she made a joke about it to Whoopi during another topic.
