"The View": Week of 9/16/2019

[Pearson80]

Megan losing her mind over Ana was amazing.  Ana calmly put her in place when she got nasty with her for no reason..

Ok, so just went back and look at the episode to see big baby stomp off again. And I swear it looks like she says something to Ana as she walks past her.  

*I rewatched it a few times and she definitely said something.  You see Ana slightly move her head in Meghan's direction.

I thought so, too!

Leaving aside Meghan walking off, w hat point was she trying to make? I'm completely baffled. Libruls are mad at this whistleblower but happy with Assange? I still don't logically understand it.

Out of all the moronic things Meghan has said (and there are so so many) this has to be at the top of the list.  She thinks liberals liked Assange hurting Hillary don't like someone hurting Trump?  Sounds like she got into Whoopi's stash.

Quote

When the possibility of a presidential impeachment came up, Meghan McCain began comparing this whistleblower to Julian Assange's WikiLeaks scandal.

"There's a lot of liberals who are OK with Julian Assange releasing Hillary [Clinton]’s emails... And now at the same time, those same people are screaming bloody murder about this whistleblower," she claimed.

McCain continued by saying that "all interference from a foreign country... is bad" and "you can’t play party politics with this," before Joy Behar interrupted to ask who McCain was referring to in her previous statement.

"Excuse me! I'm still speaking," McCain shouted in response.

The conversation continued for a bit before Ana Navarro took McCain's side telling her, "I'm with you. I have a problem with both... They'd like for it to go away... the administration, the people who are actually impacted by this."

"All Americans are impacted by this!" McCain yelled, rolling her eyes when Behar told her, "she's talking," in reference to Navarro.

Sunny Hostin then refocused the conversation on McCain, once again asking her to clarify her stance. As Behar, Navarro and Abby Huntsman jumped into the discussion, McCain yelled, "Excuse me! Maybe I was clumsy in the way that I said it." 

"I'm two feet away, I don't need you to scream at me this way," Navarro replied.

"I don't know what you just said," McCain, who had continued to speak when Navarro began talking, said.

"I said don't scream at me, I'm two feet away," Navarro repeated.

"You know what, that's so rude, Ana," McCain said as Behar led the show to a commercial break.

As the announcer began stating what was up next on the show via voice over, the camera flashed to clapping audience members before focusing back on the hosts' table, where McCain was seen exiting the stage. The camera next panned back to the audience, where those present were gasping and laughing.

According to one Twitter user, The View had to "add extra commercials" due to McCain's absence.

That MSN story quotes Meghan as saying there is no other show that talks about JLo, A-Rod and North Korea all in the same show. What? The Fuck? What about every network morning show and every late night talk show?

I think Ana's presence must have thrown Meghan off of what little game she has.  She kept saying some variation of this for several minutes. 

If she would just slow down and pay attention to what she's saying, she might have caught her mistake, but she equates speed and vehemence with righteousness.

What a big baby! How embarrassing for her family, I feel no sympathy for her at all. Megan is despicable!

[merriebreeze]

Oh to be a fly on the wall during the hair and make up pre show discussions! Joy obviously knew that Meghan's objective was to muddle things up by bringing in Assange (WTF?) to the whistleblower discussion. Derail, distract. And Abby was an accomplice. Thank goodness Ana was there. 

[HaaCHOO]

Abby sez:  My daughter would've run away screaming if I did that!

HaaCHOO sez:  Your daughter is two years old...or almost!  This little girl is six and it's her first day of school.   Not pre-pre-preschool...real school!  You have four years to introduce her to some fun.

His publisher and his wife.

TORONTO - Celebrated Canadian author and conservationist Graeme Gibson has died at 85, his publisher says.

Penguin Random House Canada shared news of his death on Wednesday. He is survived by his wife, writer Margaret Atwood, children and grandchildren.

In a statement, Atwood said Gibson was suffering from dementia and feared further decline, and his family was grateful he had the "swift exit" he wanted.

"He had a lovely last few weeks, and he went out on a high, surrounded by love, friendship and appreciation," Atwood said.

"We are grateful for his wise, ethical, and committed life."

That is what Megan always does when any news is bad for her side, derail, distract and distort the facts..

It made no sense at all.  I would think it’s actually the opposite.  Conservatives loved Wikileaks releasing Clinton’s emails but aren’t happy about this whistleblower.  I suppose some Bernie people were temporarily happy about the leaks, but not in the long run.  And what progressives are unhappy about this whistleblower.  She kind of went off the deep end?  

[After7Only]

MM has been much better this season..... until today.   She didn't make her argument clumsily, she just made a bad argument.   It made 0 sense to say that liberals were pro-Assange and anti-whistleblower.   Liberals love the whistleblower.  Then I think she tried to change it to liberals are pro-Assange releasing classified and endangering others, but anti-Trump endangering others?   Either way bad argument.

Also noticed the Ana/MM tiff began a about a minute earlier when Ana was talking about distractions and made a Stephen Miller joke, MM then says, I don't understand your point.  And Ana said, It's called a sense of humor.....

Meggers hates Ana because everybody else likes her.

...and also because Ana's intelligence, grasp of difficult concepts, political connections and expertise, good personality, and sense of humor are mentioned often. Meghan know SHE is an unworthy competitor and can't handle it.  It's fun to watch the princess run from her tower occasionally.    AND!  Ana's a loy-yeh!

[movingtargetgal]

Meghan keeps saying the ratings are way up since she joined the show.  I think the ratings are up because they are waiting for her to totally lose it and go up in flames.

Ninja'd, but, yeah, her husband had dementia. It was not a shocking out-of-the-blue death.

She probably just botched her husbands point.  It made so much sense when he told her this morning!  Bless her heart.

Same here.  I've gone a lifetime with cockeyed glasses because of my wonky ears. 🤣

I haven't seen today's episode yet, but I've seen the big walk off on twitter.  The View is trending and people are definitely on Ana's side. 😁

[ChicagoCita]

I'm still just stunned that the Arizona Snowflake -- who not even a year ago snapped at septuagenarian Joy Behar, who was on the show literally on Day One: "YOUR JOB IS TO LISTEN TO ME!" -- has the ever-loving nerve to throw a hissy fit when called out, calmly, on screaming at the person two feet away from her. "You're rude!" 

Classic bully: Can dish it out, but can't take it.

And Meghan is just wrong. The whistleblower has to go through all types of legal channels to do this properly, including a formal complaint okayed by a judge. And she compares that to wikileakes. 🙄

This. I remember when Snowden leaked classified information and took off for Hong Kong and then Russia, he was called a whistleblower by some people (not me), and some on the left (I am a lefty) and some libertarians welcomed it, but I did not, because he could have gotten a lawyer and done things properly. It might have cost him something, but what did he cost our service men and women and intel agents?

Assange is nothing but a self-promoter with his own agenda. He's not a whistleblower in the least. Again, some on the left and some libertarians welcomed Wikileaks, but it was Trump up there at rallies salivating as he declared his love for Wikileaks. Most liberals I know think Assange was just one the tools  in Putin's chest. Meghan is all wet on this one.

Meghan's walk-off already has a few articles, too. Here's one - HuffPost.  Her reps say that she is offering "no comment". 

I think she dislikes Ana because she knows that Ana is smarter than her and more accomplished, and does a better job at being a political pundit (CNN included).  She also knows she can't influence Ana, and I'm sure that frustrates her.

I think this is absolutely it. Meghan was a rude cuss to Ana long before those wedding invites went out. She feels threatened by Ana, because Ana is way more up for this job than McCant ever will be. 

[falltime]

[thejuicer]

I've been reading the boards all morning before I got to watch the show. 

Watching it is even more glorious that I thought. Ana just looks right at the bitch and repeats calmly "I said don't scream at me, I'm two feet away" without skipping a beat. Then Meghan just sulks like the brat that she is and walks off, not before calling Ana rude. She is the most unprofessional TV host I have ever seen.

[jkspeaks]

Is it me or Meghan just likes to act up on Fridays. 

[Poohbear617]

The only reason I watched today is because I wanted to see the interview with Margaret Atwood.  I was nervous about what Meghan would do....since she probably does not see the similarities in what her tribe does to what is in the book or the show.  When Margaret started right off defending Roe v. Wade I was really surprised Megnut did not fly off the handle with her late term abortion and infanticide screams. Maybe it was because of Ms. Atwoods age, or her quiet dignified demeanor or the fact that her husband died 2 days ago...something kept her quiet. She can control herself sometimes.

Whatever reason is fine enough for ABC.  The View is in the news, trending on twitter, etc.  They love it.  She will be there forever.

I think the no wedding invite got to her.  She SOOO wants to be one of the cool kids.  That and being at an intellectual disadvantage.  Ana didn't need daddy to get her a job.

Ana wasn't at Meghan's wedding.  Why would Meghan even THINK she would be invited????

[TheView]

I wonder if we'll get recordings of Meghan backstage 

[FairyDusted]

FINALLY! Someone told her to politely STFU and she loses it. Ana was GLORIOUS! Meghan was all sorts of word salad and rude. She could be reading a weather report and still be a rude asshole about it.

[lusinia]

I can't wait to see what next Friday will be like.

[pinguina]

I got to see the great walk-off - 

MM's voice was loud, Anna kind of quietly said, "You don't have to shout, I'm two feet from you."  MM's reaction was to get a bit more loud.* And accuse Anna of being rude.  What is wrong with MM???

*I have a tendency to raise my voice unconsciously whether I'm happy,excited, upset, sad, etc.  My friends have to remind me to keep my voice down.  I always apologize and really try to do so but still not 100% successful.  So I kind of get why she becomes so loud but she never acknowledges it nor apologizes for doing so.  

[maggiemae]

I think this was Ana's first appearance this season - after a month of hiatus. 

I imagine Joy and Sunny were thrilled she was back today, and even Abby. But not MM. 

Meghan dislikes Ana and MM's husband has even attacked Ana.

Pure jealousy.

Edited September 21, 2019 by maggiemae
Opps - meant Joy and Abby.....real friends with Ana.

[Blissfool]

Ok, so clearly MM's stomp-off overshadowed the other disaster of the day: Sunny's hair. I hated it!. She should have just pulled it all back into the ponytail instead of sporting the "slick in the back, loose n fluffy in the front" look.

[tinkerbell]

I'm still trying to figure out what the hell Meghan's  point was. Taking  out the part sbout Assange, she thinks "people on the left" aren't ok with the whistleblower. When Joy asked her to clarify, saying  people see the whistleblower as a hero, Meghan is back with Assange releasing  Hillary's emails, and if you have a problem with a whistleblower,  OR YOU THINK HE'S A HERO, then you should have a problem with Assange as well. But isn't that the opposite of what she really meant? People aren't against the whistleblower,  they're against the treasonous act he/she uncovered! By the president! 

Meghan fucked up in making the discussion about Assange. But her fatal flaw , when it started to unravel, was when Ana was making a point and Meghan yelled out to thank an audience member who had clapped for what Meghan had just said. After that, Ana was not having any of Meghan's bullshit, and Meghan just kept screeching over her until the blowup.

Nobody on the panel, in the audience, or watching on tv,  could think Meghan was making sense.

This. She made absolutely no sense, it really was completely confusing. She was  just saying nonsensical words 😂. What she really meant who the f knows? I personally think having Ana there makes her crazy and throws her off, which ain't saying much lol. So if we have to have this big baby all week, can we at least have Ana every Friday?

Whistleblower? I'm not up on the latest news, but you know who is a whistleblower? Assange! Liberals love him! That's who I want to talk about. And you can't stop me! Assange! His girlfriend was on here, I said he was a cyber terrorist. That is who I want to talk about, and you can't stop me.  Assange,  Assange,  Assange! Wikileaks! Emails! Assange!
