The Views Joy Behar crushes Meghan McCain for demanding they treat Trump fairly: The man lies 6 times a day!The Views Meghan McCain tried to convince her fellow co-hosts to take a more fair-and-balanced approach to President Donald Trump on Thursday but Joy Behar wasnt having any of it. During a discussion on Trumps antics this week in Europe, McCain made the case that people should avoid getting Trump Derangement Syndrome and said that people should give the president credit when he does something right.
McCain said I understand there is a hysteria with a certain group of people in the country. I do say, when I talk about trump derangement syndrome, we should take it issue by issue, rationally.
Behar quickly shot back that it was hard to give Trump a fair shake when he spouted easily disprovable lies every day. The man lies, lets say, six times a day we cant even keep up with him! Behar shot back, which generated applause from audience members.
McCain once again emphasized that she was only calling on Behar to take every Trump controversy individually, and not assume that hes always wrong.
Behar again shut her down. There arent enough years left in my life to take him issue by issue, she said. I cant do it.

(7,725 posts)mainly to circulate her blood, and to burn off some of that angst. I'm way beyond a gut reaction when I see her. Whomever her fashion advisor and hair stylist is...they need to look for a new job. Most probably both of those people...are her.

(6,399 posts)when looking at the rest of the group. I mean, Whoopie goes for super casual no matter what, and she has most certainly earned that and it's part of her appeal.
But contrasting McCain to the rest of the women on the View? Her outfits are just cringeworthy at least.

(7,725 posts)Her shoes yesterday? or before? looked like blocks of wood chiseled out w a hand saw. The hair styles? What? If she's going to make herself a public figure and be contrarian all the time...I feel it's ok to criticize politely. I think her husband pumps her up, and encourages her. She admits he's a raving repub.

(65,343 posts)Unfortunately, though, her lovely skin is always covered with caked on makeup, and the thick, bright red lipstick she wears is way too much for her fair complexion and blonde hair.
Also, since she is a bit overweight, her somewhat wide face needs to be framed by softer, fluffier hairdos, but usually her hair is either pulled back super tight or else hanging strait as a sheet.
She actually used to wear her hair softer, and sometimes she also wore lipstick in softer colors. She looked much better then.

(7,725 posts)just to blow off steam...circulate some blood. And remember what it feels like to hurt.
****She's at best a 'car babe'. Looks good driving by in the car...without any converstation etc.

Meghan is a sad remnant of her father's legacy, and he had his problems.
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)At this point, we need to assume that every single time Trump opens his mouth, he is lying. Please show me one time over the past two years where he has consistently told the truth.

Kinda speaks volumes of your charter.

She sides with people who hate her dying fathers guts. She couldnt have have an original thought to save her life.
Must suck to be her. Probably swallows a lot of aggression.

(81,265 posts)I think we've passed the point where we have to do the "but in fairness..."/"to be fair, though..." crap. The Asset has squandered all of those considerations.

(24,412 posts)it's harder and harder to give him the benefit of the doubt. I think that the DEFAULT position that anybody should assume that Trump and his minions are lying until proven truthful.
Bluepinky
(2,268 posts)My sister, who watches Faux, says the same thing about people who hate Trump. Meghan is very narrow minded and misinformed, dare I go so far to say shes dumb? I guess to keep the ratings up, shows like The View have to have at least one Deplorable on the panel.
RainCaster
(10,874 posts)I like the idea of that talking point. "Trump Derangement Syndrome"- can we have this added to Wikipedia and the Urban dictionary? It's obvious that Trump is deranged- his daily word salads are an embarrassment to anyone with an IQ above 75.
So how do WE define TDS?
Delmette2.0
(4,165 posts)They can't comprehend that their president lies, they refuse to read or hear any reasonable information that shows the truth and they can't tell anyone one thing that has been good for this country as a whole.
Bluepinky
(2,268 posts)People who watch and get their news from Faux News should be called a foxbot. Most foxbots also suffer from TDS, and the cure is a healthy dose of reality, source checking and introspection (I dont think a foxbot with TDS can tolerate any of the above curatives).
Delmette2.0
(4,165 posts)I'm sure more can be added to the list.
I'm really really pissed at how the Repubs took the word entitlement and made it sound like a give away. It's way past time that we do the same to them.
Bluepinky
(2,268 posts)I dont think she can be cured, but maybe she could be a subject of a clinical trial?
Lets take TDS and define it our way.

(28,817 posts)I dont care.
The content of her character is worse.
She has a beautiful face. I heard the View dresses her anyway.
Her soul may need a bit of work.
And her pity me here with all these liberals is pretty old.

(10,885 posts)Tara Setmayer, a conservation who seems to actually have a brain, was one of her most vocal opponents on today's show. Meghan's screech was off the charts when responding to her.
Meghan needs to be replaced on The View and slink into obscurity. Unfortunately, I think she's trying to make a place for herself in political circles. She has no credentials other than being her father's daughter. Watch for her to, at the very least, become her mother's campaign manager at some point, because I'm betting there's a lot of discussion around the McCain dinner table about Cindy's "potential". If that happens, Meghan will try to follow in her footsteps, for sure.

(32,704 posts)That's NOT how this shit should work, Meghan. You're trying to normalize this shit and we're not going to let you.
There have been a lot of egregious things said and done by trump's admin since he took office, but what trump's admin did to thousands of families should be the red line for any thinking human on the planet. The splitting of families, possibly forever, with no intention or plan to reunite them is so unbelievably cruel and inhumane. He should have been forced out of office the very same day this became public. I'm equally sickened by trump and repubs at this point, especially idiots like Meghan who want to take each issue individually. Fuck you!
AlexSFCA
(6,137 posts)every time she tries to defend trump. Or she doesnt think he lied about her dad. Why does she not love her father? What she does is NOT love. Maybe shell do the right thing when her dad passes away. God forbid I ever have a daughter like this. She is ZERO w/o using her fathers name. The girl has no talent of any kind. Kardashian of politics.
