Today's hosts: Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Jedediah Bila and Whoopi Goldberg Today's 🔥 topics: It's Monday. We are back with the View. The panel reacts to 45's personal counsel's PR tour on Sunday that he basically said that 45 wasn't in investigation. Yet, he also contradicted himself during the same interview. Sunny talks about how 45's personal counsel leaves a bad impression for attorneys.
They also talk about 45's recent debacle in regards to Cuba's sanctions. It gets heated between Whoopi and Jed. They transition into what has 45 done in regards to supporting LGBTQ Rights. His policy has not been friendly to the LGBTQ community. They talk about how they are hiring Eric's wedding planner who said she had a law degree but didn't as the new urban housing director for NY and NJ. They talk about how nobody is qualified in this administration.
The imam and others at the scene deserve so much praise for how they handled the situation. Copying this from an article...
The imam of Muslim Welfare House said a passing police van was flagged down. Mohammed Mahmoud told reporters: "We told them the situation - there's a man, he's restrained, he mowed down a group of people with his van and there is a mob attempting to hurt him and if you don't take him then, God forbid, he might be seriously hurt. "We pushed people away from him until he was safely taken by police."
Everyone made fun of them for the "emo-ness" of this quote, but I feel like this just further vindicates them. The Repubs are doing everything in the dark because they know if they shed light on it people will fight them. How corrupt can you be?
I guarantee this is from Spicey putting his foot in his mouth and lying all the time. Now with no proof to back it up it becomes reporter said vs spicey said and the wh can deny he said it.
If anyone in this thread wants to do some phonebanking for him from home before tomorrow, lmk! I've got a friend who set up a phone bank and can get you going right away
I've kind of lost hope honestly. They all hate Handel there but she's not a libruhl so this gun attack will push more Republicans to vote. It never fails. I'm hoping but I'm bracing myself for the worst.
Blistering statement from McCain: "Six months into the new administration, it still has not delivered a strategy" for Afghanistan. pic.twitter.com/20adE0m5d4
This would actually matter if McCain would pull his head out of Trump's ass. But as is, it's just a way of looking like he cares without doing anything.
People who don't follow him fall for it too. My mom used to read stuff McCain said in the news and tell me about it like it was a good thing that a Republican was saying this shit, and I had to explain to her that it's irrelevant because he's useless and doesn't actually DO anything.
I really wish they would leave Afghanistan alone because what they're doing there is not helping Afghan people at all. They're in there for their own geopolitical gain, and are murdering civilians and destroying the environment.
Gloria Borger was on CNN just now talking about how he's going to the Middle East right when he promised he'd be speaking to investigators and various committees.
Ew what the fuck I didn't expect this to be his voice. Between this, Trump's nasally congested tone, and Ivanka's phone sex operator voice I can't imagine what they'd sound like all together discussing peace in the middle east.
I'm sure the victims will be overwhelmed with gratitude by your fake, worthless prayers. Why don't you go back to your complicity and lack of self-awareness, you insipid cow.
Also-"all ITS ugly forms"! One of my biggest grammar pet peeves.
Four direct engagements w Syria/Iran/Russia in 45 days. Trump is quietly starting a new war that Congress has not declared. Red alert. 🚨 https://t.co/D4MKPLXFTS
I went to a pop culture/politics panel discussion comedy show last night that I haven't attended since before the election, and now I remember why I don't go anymore. So many of the clips they discussed revolved around Tr*mp and his band of hellions and it was just depressing. Comedy shows are usually my escape from the hell that is politics today. Of course, I knew what I was getting into - I went because I liked the guests - but yeah. This is why I can't watch The President Show either.
Caught a bit of this on the local news last night. They showed Trump's tweets of him outright saying he's under investigation, Shouty Spice saying that his tweets are his own words AND official Presidential record, and then his as-seen-on-TV lawyer saying he was not under investigation. I turned to my grandma and said "Mel Brooks circa 1974 couldn't write something this funny" and she insisted Trump was "just being sarcastic [in his tweets]."
his lawyers are so embarrassing. I think Preet Bharara tweeted that they're "not the dream team." Lionel Hutz, Bob Loblaw, & Saul Goodman would be better.
Coming up on one year since the flooding here in Louisiana and having a storm starting to form out in the Gulf, I'm panicking about FEMA. Sure, they aren't the best and there are always complaints ... but I can only imagine the mess it will be this time around.
I know that Dems can't stop the passage, but by slowing it down, hopefully they can put it off until after the July 4th recess. And then during the recess the GOP's constituents will hopefully show up in force to voice their disapproval for the bill and scare some of the more vulnerable Senators off from voting for it.
I hope they can stall it long enough. My POS senator, Gardner, is helping to write this *thing*. I can't think of an appropriately horrible word to describe it. But he sure the hell won't be scared away from it. And he won't show at any town hall. We've had more town halls with a cardboard cutout of that shitstain than ones with him present.
I'm guessing none of the other GOP bastards will show to their town halls, either. "Security concerns" and all that. All I feel I can do now is beg Michael Bennett to stand firm (I have no worries about that), and to sway as many others to the Dem side as he can.
This administration is giving racist pieces of garbage legal authority to ruin the lives of the people they hate with no justification whatsoever. Seems reasonable!

She's the fucking worse with zero self-awareness.

this is what the trump admin wants; chaos, war, and absolute power
lol ok
The nominee right now hasn't moved along in the process since April and he ran Alabama's response to deepwater horizon which was a clusterfuck.
Scott Baio for state department?
Your daily political moment of zen, ONTD...
