Season 25 and No Meghan McCain on The View

I don’t understand her being so rah, rah, rah for the Deplorables who despise her dad.

OP, this will help you during your withdrawal.

The show was fun without than entitled no talent bitch McCain. Joy’s story about the gummy was hysterical.

Did she ever reveal who her father is before she left or is she taking the secret to the grave?

It was refreshing to see them back in the studio and CUNT FREE!

First time in four years that the air wasn’t sucked out of the room.

I enjoyed watching it for the first time in years! What a relief, without the hostility emanating from the blond all the time. I really hope they choose a different kind of person for the 5th panelist.

Did I notice that Sunny was a bit more conservative as well as Sara? So Joy and Whoopi are the libs and Sara is no longer centrist but as right as she could lean? Same with "You are dead to me" Hosten?

Straighten your hair, Sunny. It looks a mess.

r8 It all seemed very planned. They needed someone to express the other point of view. Sunny got the abortion issue (though I think she really believes it) and Sara got assigned to be the contrarian on Afghanistan. I kind of felt Sara was saying what the told her to say. I think she even looked at her cards a few times as she expressed her opinion like it was written there.

I miss Meghan. I want bitch fights. Rosie vs. Elizabeth. Star vs. Barbara. Rosie vs. Whoopi. Meghan vs. Joy. That's when the show is watchable.

The show was so enjoyable today without Meeghan.

The person who did Sunny’s make up should be shot.

Sunny is pro-life and called abortion a sin.

Shouldn't she be hated now?

R13 Yes

Megan isn't up to much nowadays but ranting on Twitter about Biden or Vice magazine. Bitch has got to be one of the most negative and hateful people alive. Even the mopey and bitter misanthropists on Data lounge occasionally post something lighthearted or funny in between making threads comparing various anti depressants. McCain is just non stop misery and anger.

13 You forgot the part where she believes it's a woman's right tho.

Meghan's audiobook comes out on October 21st.

We shall see what kind of cuntery ensues.

Why is Mia Love shouting every time she speaks? She knows other women are only 3 feet away, right? And that they all have microphones on? She reminds me of the Will Farrell character on SNL who can't modulate the volume of his voice.

It's Remind Joy She Was Fired Day!

No idea who Mia Love is so couldn’t care less. Did they even put a graphic up under her to identify who she is? I couldn’t understand what name Whoopi said when she introduced her and since I didn’t see a graphic so I watched having to clue who she is. Should I know her? Is she worthy of a Season 25 first guest co-host?

Sunny is such an asshole. She claims she doesn't believe in abortion because it's against her faith, but she's okay with contraception and just "differs from the church" there. So basically she uses her faith as an excuse when it's convent for her and ignores it when it's convenient for her.

Yeah, Sunny is full of shit, sometimes. She's an attorney but doesn't really talk about separation of church and state. She clings to "tradition" and her Catholicism in a reflexive way rather than a thoughtful, discerning way.

Mia thinks everything is a slippery slope.

R1, No one ever said that republicans were smart.

The producers are doing double time to fill the gap that fatass left.

Sunny and Sara are MORE conservative than ever.

Back in the studio, it is nice to see Whoopi actually WORKING again.

Whoopi is enormous now.

Sunny packed on some pandemic pounds, as well.

R21 - Agreed about Sunny - that's exactly what I was thinking. And anybody who pounds their chest and says "I'm a Catholic" is sus to me. Sunny thinks she's more intelligent and more profound than she really is. She gets a pass from me 80% of the time - she's fine - but I've got my eye on her. She has said some fucked up shit.

And what was with Sarah making all of these stupid ass comparisons to the troops we have in Germany and South Korea? That was fucking word salad and a total non sequitur.

Love Joy pulling up those quotes - but she needs to underline that we only hear this shit from ONE SIDE of politics - always Republicans.

[quote]And what was with Sarah making all of these stupid ass comparisons to the troops we have in Germany and South Korea? That was fucking word salad and a total non sequitur.

Fatass left her some cards.

Whoopi has indeed gotten so fat! She’s gained at least 60 lbs. Yikes!!!!

WWII and the Korean War ended a long time ago, but we still have a certain number of troops in Germany and South Korea to this day. Our troops in South Korea are considered a major reason why North Korea has always stayed in line. So Sarah wanted to know why we had to do a total evacuation from Afghanistan rather than leaving a small number of troops there to keep the Taliban in check.

Sunny not only looks heavier, her face appears fuller and smoother.

I think Mia Love knew she was auditioning and over did it trying to make an impact.

I'm gonna hate this parade of co-hosts trying out. Just audition them in private and put one on and see how she does.

I hope they don't hire Ana Navarro.

I hope they do if she'll move.

R34, Her militant yapping every day would be too much. She's better on a one day a week basis.

Did they even mention Barbara Walters' name on the premiere show of season 25?

r36, so you didn't watch?

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Good! I don’t read the Daily Mail so I won’t have to read her crap.

Meghan has a face made for radio, if her voice wasn’t so shrill so a written column where she won’t obstruct my View is a good place for her.

Sunny does look like she gained weight. Whoopi was already overweight but does look like she gained weight as well. I don't know if it's the makeup or the lighting, but Joy (I realize she's older) and Sarah look haggard.

" I realized what a shrew she was and how she had to cut a big fat wet stinking fart into every conversation that was on that show.

She wouldn't listen to anyone and sulked like an insolent child whenever she felt she was being disrespected.

Which was often. "

This is ubiquitous on current affairs US television shows. Advertisers depend on outrage, adrenaline, disgust, and discourtesy.

[quote]It took me until her being fired that I realized what a shrew she was

Really, queen? You're just now getting the memo? What rock were you sleeping under?

I can'r believe how much better the new season has been. The set is nice. The brash theme song has been finally killed. And without being remote and without Meghan, the woman are having actual interactive conversation. No more Whoopi asking, "And you! What do you think? OK! And YOU! What do you think? OK! And you! OK! We're taking a break!"

It's like they're human or something now.

Wow, R38, I expected her to join the Daily Caller, not the Daily Mail. She hates everything UK related. Years ago the topic was the royals and she lost her shit and said she only cares about America, the founding fathers, the flag, not the country we fled from and their evil monarchy.

Piers Morgan etc. are about to find out how difficult she is to work with. The producers and co-hosts of The View can tell them first hand that the hassle is not worth whatever 'ratings' the McCain family name brings to his little rag.

You can keep either your face or your ass, r31.

The first Whoopi Free Friday with Joy moderating, Ana filling in for Whoopi and Star Jones rotating in for the departed fat ass was delightful. Yesterday with Steve and Marty was a very good show. The show goes back to being great without the Republicunt.

Love how Joy mentioned Ana is very popular with the audience just in case Mrs. Domenech, Daily Fail contributor is watching.

R49 She probably did it to signal to Star that she doesn't have a chance of getting back on.

This was a very refreshing week of shows. Do not miss the Widow McPain one bit. She really did suck the life out of the room. You can have different view points but the way the widow McPain went about it was off putting. Good riddance!

They need to get Whoopi a foot stool that matches the table or at that at least color coordinates with the rest of the set.

Are we sure Me-Again hasn't also been hired for the Daily Mail TV show?

In NYC, think this show airs on the CW or WOR. Not sure, I don't watch it. When I'm watching the local CW news, I always see the ads for the DM show.

Well, she has a footstool. And the conservative black woman was boring. Dull. NEXT!

R10, I liked the squabbles too but Meghan went too far.

I wonder which of the old cohosts is next after Starlett? Looking forward to Rosie on a Friday!

They’re gonna wheel out Babs with a shit filled diaper.

R57, And she'll be holding the petrified remains of Cha Cha.

Joy's new face is just so distracting. It's so flat. She looks like Jabba the Hut.

Joy turns 79 on October 7th.

joy has a loyal fan base. When they fired her, they brought her back bc the audience dropped. When I watch the show, I watch for her.

R61, Posting from the Brooksby Village Senior Living Center, Suite 13A.

R61, She was gone for two full seasons. If her departure resulted in a ratings drop, she would have been asked back long before two years elapsed.

Elder gays will recall that CBS forced Walter Cronkite to retire in 1981 at age 65.

Today, that seems ludicrous.

Sara looks good in the new opening. What the hell is Joy holding in the opening, a scarf? Looks like a snake. Whose bright idea was that?

R61 me too, she makes the show, I agree with her politics, & find her really funny. Her voice alone cracks me up. The show was unwatchable the two seasons she was away.

I cringed all through the discussion on Bill Maher yesterday. Maher said he felt like having a black national anthem and separate graduation ceremonies for black students was a form of segregation. Then Sunny chimed in to say that was gaslighting and she was tired of people ignoring history…even though no one was actually talking about history or denying it should be taught. Instead, Sunny was gaslighting by talking about an entirely different topic. I did crack up, though, when the one host mentioned a black mother who didn't like her child being separated into an all black classroom—Sunny just sat there with that stupid pursed lips face she makes when she's at a loss for words.

[quote]Joy turns 79 on October 7th.

Joy is only now turning 79? That cannot be right. I thought she was close to 80 a few years ago?

I have to ask my friend who knows both Joy and Joy's close friend, the priest from Brooklyn.

I also watch this show for Joy. Smart, liberal broad that one.

It's amazing how much lying they did on the show in regards to firing. I can distincly remember Joy announcing her departure and Barbara saying how much she tried to talk her out of leaving. Babs knew she was fired. They fired Hasslebeck and Lisa Ling too and lied about it. And then there is the infamous we'd hoped Star would leave with dignity. Star chose another way----by exposing the fraud of her firing.

I have a feeling Sherri Sheppard was fired too. All that bad press about the test tube baby she didn't want to pay for probably didn't go over well with the frau demographics.

Michelle Collins once *hinted* on her podcast how iron-clad the contracts are. It's like an NDA on steroids. They can get rid of you and you just have to smile and wave. The way she reacted after letting it slip made it clear to what extent they were forced to remain quiet.

Hasselbeck normally would have been on every right-wing outlet in America talking about how wronged she was, but even for her you barely heard a peep about her ending on the show.

I don't agree with Maher about the Black National Anthem especially since it's been around forever, but I do agree with his thoughts on separate graduations for Black students. That's just ridiculous--unless it's an HBC.

They miss Meghan. The show is rapidly becoming unwatchable.

And why is Sunny's dramatic change in appearance being ignored on here?

The show is much more watchable without The Republicunt.

Ana was on today and I hope she does a double for Whoopi Free Friday tomorrow.

Loved how they rolled around Niki M's enlarged testicles statement and broadcast the T&T minister's statement.

Sonny’s face looked very Michael Jackson the other day. Her makeup is inconsistent and odd.

I forget what it was since I just had it on in the background but on Monday (I think) Sara had a surprisingly conservative opinion about something.

I guess as the low man on the totem pole she gets Meghan's old rants.

My college had graduation celebrations specifically for black and Latino students, but everybody officially graduated together. What's the harm in that?

That was what people fought against in the sixties r78. Separate but equal.

Will they have Rosie guest host on a day when Whoopi is there?

Isn't Rosie living in LA now?

How did Star and Joy get along?

That was kind of rotten of Joy when Star had heart surgery and Joy didn't reach out in anyway.

Star was a guest on Joy's CNNHL show. She handled it well. Joked to Joy that they cracked my chest open and Joy didn't call, write, send an email. Nothing. She did it with a smile and not anger which threw Joy off kilter. Joy said I didn't know about it to which Star quickly replied Barbara announced it on the show and you were there. Joy gave some lame excuse like I blank out on those kind of things. Whatever that meant.

I think Joy & Star didn’t get along well. Joy is way more liberal; I think she said something about Star being anti-gay marriage (yet she married one, har har).

In the beginning the were best buddies. They'd take trips to Europe together since Star was single and Joy's husband didn't like to go.

The breaking point between Joy and Star was when Star insisted the co-hosts lie about how she lost her weight.

And, the way Star prostituted her wedding preparations.

Star married a gay.

I will never forget Joan Rivers joking that she hates when people think old people are forgetful, and then grabs Sherri Shepherd and says "isn't that right, Starr?"

LOL

R87, It was hilarious.

R88

Joy: "That was below the belt."

Michelle Collins?

The EASTENDERS actress was once a co-host on The View? Guess I missed this!

R85 Star says that the producers encouraged her to talk about her engagement and her wedding plans because they thought it made her relatable and likable to viewers, and then they came up with the idea of getting sponsors related to it for her to hawk their products on air. It was product placement, and I believe her 100 percent. They made the wedding thing her thing (all the cohosts are assigned at least one personal interest to harp on to make them 'relatable'), and many of the show's segments are untransparently product placements. Sometimes even the cohosts are paid for by sponsors, usually when it's a celebrity book author (remember Don Jr. and Kim Guilfoyle cohosting?), but sometimes it's a charity, a movie or TV show.

R91, It was a bad decision and it backfired, big time.

R92 Obviously but I don't think Star deserves the blame for it. I do believe her claim that the producers put her up to it and then held it against her when audiences found it off putting. I do think it went to her head.

I also think it was convenient (but justifiable) for Babs et al to say they were uncomfortable lying about how Star lost weight when it was obvious she had surgery and they all had to play dumb.

Babs and that producer of hers, Bill Geddie, must be responsible for all the lying that went on for years. She controlled that show with a tight fist. Once she finally left the show it was as if the sun came out. I hated her control over every damned thing.

Is there any chance they might have Barbara make an appearance on the 25th season, even remotely from wherever she is?

Babs makes doo doos in her diapers all day. That’s her life now.

Babs will pull a Susan Hayward, who show up to the 1974 Oscars as if nothing is wrong.

Then she died.

I don't believe Star's claim that it was the producers idea.

She did it once with little reaction.

The second time she started mentioning products the other co-hosts all suddenly got real uncomfortable looking (fear of Barbara?) and Star sort of got real serious like did I say something wrong. The other co-hosts looked toward Bill Gedde who must have been making faces in the front row.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I enjoyed Raven Symone as a cohost. Is she coming back for a Friday?

What about Candace Bure? Rosie Perez? Jenny McCarthy? Nicolle Wallace? Elizabeth Hasselbeck? I'm just wondering how deep into the vault they're taking these 25th anniversary celebrations.

R99 Raven and Candace and I think Nicolle all were shown to be future podcast interviewees, so chances are good they will come back.

I thought Raven was an abysmal cohost. I liked her personality fine, but she didn't know anything and didn't try to know anything. She would avoid topics by saying she's a Millennial and "but y'all know I'm a conspiracy theorist and I have some crazy ideas!" and never specified what her supposed conspiracy theories were. She was useless, as were McCarthy and Bure.

I love Rosie Perez, but she was a terrible choice for a host, too, mainly because only two topics engaged her: Latino issues, which came up sometimes, and boxing, which never should have come up but which she brought of 2 of 5 days a week.

Other duds were heiress Abby Huntsman, airhead Michelle Collins and mega-flop Paula Faris.

I also like Rosie Perez and agree she was not the right fit for this show.

As for the other Rosie, Ms. O'Donnell, I would love for her to guest host or share her thoughts on the podcast, but it seems she doesn't have a good relationship with the show.

[quote]Other duds were heiress Abby Huntsman, airhead Michelle Collins and mega-flop Paula Faris.

Again, who the FUCK is Michelle Collins?! If this person was ever on The View, guess I wasn't watching due her reign.

Are you confusing this MC person with Nicole Wallace? Nicole is certainly not an airhead.

Paula Faris was one-note and smug.

I think this was during Joy's unfortunate temporary firing.

R102 Michelle Collins is singer Judy Collins's daughter. Michelle calls herself a comedian. She got herself in trouble on The View by saying something disrespectful about nurses that she meant as a joke, and she was forced to apologize but I think the nursing association forced her off the show because of it.

She now has a show on Andy Cohen's satellite radio station. I think she may have been a radio personality before she was on The View.

Watched it yesterday with Lisa Ling. Definitely calmer since the other one left, but it's also not compelling either. And the political discourse doesn't seem to be much better than when McCain's daughter was there.

And the Biden united front is going to start wearing thin as well.

They were talking about how the CDC and the WHO are contradicting themselves, and Lisa tried to make the point that this current administration perhaps could send a a stronger, more cohesive message on COVID. And that as batshit as the other guy was, he was getting on TV every night and talking to people, and they basically jumped all over her and didn't hear the point that she was trying to make. Ana screaming "I don't want someone to tell me to inject myself with bleach!" All Lisa was trying to say was that perhaps Biden should have someone go on TV on a frequent basis and just inform people with updates, to help with a unified message and not confuse people.

Also Sunny bringing up how everyone is acting like animals now and Joy saying "Well you can blame Trump for that!" was ridiculous. If anything, the lack of civil discourse and behavior in this country is what lead to him getting elected.

Michelle Collins' mother is named Judy, but she is not the folk-singer Judy Collins. Singer Judy Collins only has one son.

I remember that snafu with the nurses association and it was so stupid and blown out of proportion.

Basically, the cohosts were talking about some beauty pageant that aired the previous day. For the talent competition, one of the contestants read a statement about a typical day in her life as a nurse. Michelle quipped that reading a statement about your job is not a talent as opposed to singing a song or doing a dance routine. The comment was actually kind of funny and accurate, but she in no way made fun of nurses or what they do. Of course in this day and age, people love to misinterpret others' comments so they can get outraged and make noise all over social media. And of course, The View had to go into damage control and invite the nurses association on the show so the hosts could proclaim how much they adore nurses. It was all so, so, so dumb.

Is Michelle collins a man?

R106, And didn't Joy make a comment about a contestant wearing a nurse's uniform, not knowing she was a nurse, and Joy was forced to issue an on air apology?

Yes, R108. The producers were hardcore about making the women apologize for everything that season and then when McCain came along, she never issued a single apology until the Hillary Clinton comment, and that apology came a season later. She was clearly forced to say it though.

Wearing a nurse's uniform and reading a statement about your life as a nurse is not a talent for the talent segment of a beauty pageant which was the point they were making.

Was this the same season in which the ladies discussed name discrimination on resumes and Raven got in trouble for saying she would never hire someone whose name is Watermelonquisha or something like that?

Fun times!

Yep, R110. ABC was punishing the hell out of all the cohosts. They apologized alll the time. Then Foghorn Meghorn came in and was given free reign to wreak havoc and insult every viewer and cohost daily.

[quote]She gets a pass from me 80% of the time - she's fine - but I've got my eye on her. She has said some fucked up shit.

Neither Joy, Sunny or Whoopi for that matter are really progressive. Meghan being there just made them stand out more as being normal. But all three pretty much tow the moderate Democratic line. Whoopi has gotten pissed many times on the show over someone suggesting that the rich get taxed more. Sunny is conservative on some issues, and still isn't as evolved as she likes to think she is on others. And Joy was a progressive, hardcore Sanders supporter before Dump was elected and she did a 180. She was defending Joe Manchin a couple of months back saying the dems need him more than he needs them.

That's why I would like an actual progressive co host on the show, but it's clear from Ling's appearance yesterday that they don't want a co-host who will question their opinions, they want someone who will make them look right all the time.

[quote] tow the moderate Democratic line

R112 The expression is toe the line.

Well, the Dems do need that asswipe Manchin more than he needs them, so if Joy said that, it's kind of true.

I've watched the show pretty regularly over the years, but the only time I fully tuned out was during 2015 and 2016 when Candace/Raven/Paula/Jed/Michelle were hosts. It seemed like the show didn't know what it wanted to be and the hosts had zero chemistry as a group. I think Michelle Collins likely got a raw deal, though. The nurses thing was stupid and I once attended an event that she hosted and she was absolutely hilarious.

Michelle also got paid crumbs for her season. I've read she was paid $250,000. Compare that to the $6 million Whoopi reportedly makes. I get that Whoopi is a big name and Michelle is not but that's a huge pay disparity to do essentially the same job. Rosie O'Donnell also called out the The View's shitty pay in interviews over the years.

I like the show a whole lot more with the women back in the studio. I don't miss McCain at all. What a disruptive piece of shit.

R116, Whoopi is paid $6,000,000 to do little more than shuffle out four days a week, sit there for an hour and monitor the commercial breaks?

I'm surprised Whoopi is still there after all these years. I'm always reading on DL how much she hates the gig.

Whoopi said she was going to quit and then Trump happened and people in her life told her how important it is for her to be there. She found new meaning in it. Also, she wants that money because she is a great grandma whose whole family feeds at her teats.

Whoopi is only there for the check. That has been obvious for years now. Michelle Collins was not a good host. Nice person but she couldn't be serious about fucking anything.

Yeah, I figured this must be easy money for Whoopi at this point. Plus, she gets Fridays off too. Sweet deal.

Whoopi Goldberg has gotten as big as a house. And the clothes she wears...good lord, they're horrible. I know Whoopi would say she doesn't care, but she still looks horrible. Maybe she could care just a little bit about her bag lady appearance all the time.

[quote]I thought Raven was an abysmal cohost. I liked her personality fine, but she didn't know anything and didn't try to know anything.

I remember during Trump's rise thru the republican primaries she just would say I'm ignoring him and not talking about him.

Joy eventually freaked out and said HE'S GOING TO BE THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE! You can't just not talk about him!!!

Raven supported Gary Johnson because of his laws on marijuana.

She was not the best tool in the shed.

Gassy farty Whoopster has indeed gotten fatter. She’s enormous!

What happened to Sunny and why does she look like such utter shit.

She stayed inside her house with her family for two years and put on weight.

And she's replacing Meghan right now as the most conservative host, and Meghan left a big chair to fill.

I like the new set but the lighting person hasn't got it right. The ladies all look horrible because of bad lighting. I don't like Sara's my little pony hairdo, and Sunny looks heavily made up and old.

Sunny's hair is shit. Straighten it once in a while. The frizzy curls are unattractive. She's also become a bit schoolmarm-ish and prissy conservative. "My religion doesn't believe abortion." Well smell you, dear.

Sunny's stockiness is highlighted when she walks on after viewers have just seen her much slimmer in the introduction photos.

R131, Mrs Domenech took an opening shot that made her look like a leopard print sleeping bag. Then she ballooned into a bedazzled burrito.

Rosie keeps tweeting that the surprise co-host is not her. Looks like she doesn't want people to tune in to maybe see her.

Clarkson may be taking Ellen's spot, but Rosie will probably return to claim the Lesbian Talk Show Host slot later next year.

And THAT is why she moved to LA.^^^

In a recent interview Rosie said she doesn't think she could do a talk show nowadays since she isn't up on current pop culture. She liked her show because she got to interview people she grew up with. She thinks she'd be at a loss as to what to ask people from things like the CW she said.

Sunny's interpreted legal notices are HILARIOUS!

I wonder if ABC is going to do a legal notice that Sunny's interp of the prior legal notices were hers alone and do not reflect the views of ABC.

Michelle Collins was not a good fit for the View despite being HILARIOUS. You should listen to her show and podcast. She's like the really funny friend you hang out with who you think should be a comedienne but she's actually a witty/ funny observationalist who's super quick on her feet. Like a Stern or somebody.

r139, I see whatcha doin...

Is Michelle a man? I never figured it out.

Amazing how candid this is about the producers.

Lots of Babs shade in this one.

Cindy McCain was on the panel today. She claims to still be a ReThug.

She really was the turd in the punchbowl.

Cindy told a story about how Meghan made her brother's life miserable as kids until he stood up to her and threw her through a screen door. I was hoping Joy would say something like "I wish I would've thought of that."

^lol!! I love Joy & hated all the times Meghan bullied her. My mother, also a liberal like me, said Joy bullied Meghan (what show was she watching)?

There's a clip on YouTube where all the ladies got Photoshop'd with gray hair - just to see what they'd all look like. Precious Sunny "admitted" to getting a few gray hairs on her temples, only. Ana looked at Sunny and said, "That's all?" Sunny is so full of shit and Ana knew it.

Ana let it out that she went to law school.

Is she the Jim Jordan at the table?

R150, I can see Gretchen making Katie uncomfortable.

Is Sunny hiding after Condi was a cunt to her?

Yeah...Condi really shut Sunny down. You can see the daggers from Sunny's eyes.

The Sunny vs. Condi dynamic was interesting, although it's clear that Condoleeza is no Colin Powell. She came across as considerably more Republican-allied than I expected given how the party has devolved since Trump.

I like Ava DuVernay's direction and I like Edie Falco. Should be a pretty good week. It's nice to be able to look forward to some interviews without dreading screeching temper tantrums from McCain.

The show has been auditioning a variety of conservative women who seem to vary in their conservatism but so far none of them seems like an extreme alt-right Nazi type and not one of them seems to be the type to blow her lid and scream over everyone to demand attention. It's such a relief.

R154, We need Edie Falco to tell us all about Stanley Tucci's cock.

R155 Do we, though? I think anyone with a little (or a lot) experience knows that a man named Tucci has a very fat cock of just slightly longer-than-average length that drools a lot of precum and produces Krispy Kreme icing-consistency cum that doesn't shoot far but glazes the cock with abundant spurts.

I mean, he's Italian.

[It appears that Red M is $$ threads earlier. Please post on another thread if this happens here and we'll move.]

it was odd to see Condi say let me finish! to another black woman.

Condi exemplified what this show actually needs if they want a conservative—a mature, accomplished, articulate individual. Both Elisabeth and Meaghan suffered from filling both the conservative role and the young role, which too often left them pouting or shouting over the other women when trying to get their counterpoints across.

R159 It does make me wonder (At this point, I think this is unrealistic, but in theory...) whether totally different representation of Republicans on TV might change Republican culture. I don't think there's any question that making Trump, Kellyanne Conway, Rudy Giuliani and all those other brats the figureheads for the party created monsters like Matt Gaetz and Gym Jordan and encouraged a lot of others like Lindsey Graham to lower themselves to new, previously unthinkable depths of depravity. If TV Republicans were more like Colin Powell, Condi, et al., I wonder how significantly that would change the general public's demeanor as well as the behaviors of people in elected offices.

I remember when the show "The Weakest Link" came out, the game show with the nasty British host who insulted everyone for laughs, my mom lamented that the show was going to change our culture and make people think being mean and hurting people's feelings is funny. I told her she was ascribing a lot of influence to a dumb game show and that I really didn't think one jerky game show host on TV was going to make everyone nasty to one another. I don't know if that specific show had any influence in it happening, but not long thereafter (probably more due to influences like Simon Cowell), people in this country got MEAN. Civility is gone and I miss it.

What a cunt Morgan Ortagus was to Adam Schiff.

It must be the breaching of the Trump mouthpieces this week with the spewing of Kellyanne and this twat.

What a family!

R161 Yes, but Schiff wasted no time smacking down her bullshit premise. It was a delight.

it's better the main group and ana. Why do they have all these guest hosts?

Ana is the permanent guest host. They are auditioning Meghan McCunts vacancy with the rotations.

Here's Schiff in action.

What is wrong with these losers like this Morgan person above that they continue to support chrump after all the damage he's done?

Don't forget, she was the Kayleigh MAGA-ninny to evil fucker Mike Pompeo at the Dept of State.

Just a lie spewer.

She thinks someone will hire her after THAT?
