The View Top to Bottom

by

OK, I know what you’re thinking (some of you, anyway.)  You want to know how the ladies of The View are taking Trump’s decisive win.   A win that may be the lynchpin in proving to their producers how seriously out of touch they are with reality and those of us who live in it.

They purport to know it all, putting it all on the line for emphasis.  I mean how many times do we have to hear about the consequences of our actions should Trump be elected against Whoopi’s better judgement?   I believe at one point she said she would move if he won.  No such luck on that front.  She’s still here and seemingly thinks “not saying his name” is a fitting consequence for the rest of us who had the audacity to vote another way.

They’re in a constant loop in their heads.  They think something and assume what they’re thinking is true.  They beg the question all over the place, coming up empty handed each and every time.

Tomorrow, they could be out on the street begging for real.  You can’t be that out of touch with reality on a show that purports to have a POV.  If you’re in a fun house that might work but in real life it doesn’t play too well.

I guarantee their producers have taken notice.  How likely is it that ABC will continue to air a show where the moderators disdain the very people they are supposed to represent?  There is nothing “typical” about these women.  They’re like the “ATTRACTIONS” you’re promised by the side of the road.  Oddities and relics.

That they are “profoundly disturbed” is a given.  No one had to say that part out loud.  A healthy dose of humility would behoove them, but they have played their roles too long to change now.

A few of them may sound contrite but that’s just an act.  They secretly believe they can wish this all away and are probably trying to do exactly that, as we speak.

But to cut to the chase, they were wrong. . . about all of it.  They need to get out of their studio and walk around a bit more.  They might then see what they’ve become:  Caricatures of their own imaginations.

Here’s how they took the news:

‘The View’ Hosts React to Trump Win: “I’m Profoundly Disturbed”

The team on the ABC daytime show mourned Kamala Harris losing the election with a diverse mix of reactions, from “this is a referendum of cultural resentment” to “we need to start listening more about the concerns of everyday Americans.”

By James Hibberd

ABC’s first post-election episode of The View was very sober and, at times, intense.

The show’s hosts had a diverse mixture of reactions to the news that Donald Trump has captured the presidency once again, defeating vice president Kamala Harris by what appears to be a significant margin.

While acknowledging that none of the show’s five hosts wanted Trump to win, they each had a unique take on the news.

The strongest reaction came from Sunny Hostin: “I’m profoundly disturbed. In 2016, we didn’t know what we would get from a Trump administration, but we know now, and we now he will have almost unfettered power. I don’t worry about myself, actually. I worry about the working class. I worry about my mother, a retired teacher. I worry about our elderly and their social security and their medicare. I worry about my children’s future, especially my daughter, who now has less rights than I have. And I remember my father telling me many, many years ago that I was the first person in his family to enjoy full civil rights. Now I have less civil rights than I had when he told me that. So again, I’m profoundly disturbed that the 14th Amendment of the Constitution did not prevent someone who participated in an insurrection from becoming president of the United States. … As a woman of color, I was so hopeful that a mixed race woman married to a Jewish guy could be elected president of this country. And I think that [the outcome] had nothing to do with policy. I think this was a referendum of cultural resentment in this country.”

While the most sanguine response came from Alyssa Farah Griffin, who served in Trump’s communication’s office during his first term: “Is it the outcome I wanted? No, but tens of millions of Americans — our friends, our neighbors, our family members — voted for Donald Trump. They are good, decent people who are patriots and love this country, and I can’t speak to what drove them to this, but I think it is a moment for us to listen to each other … We need to bring down the temperature, the name calling, the demonizing … and I think there are some lessons from it. I think we forget about rural America. I think the working class feels left behind. They feel like the powerful, the elite, only care about them and their power. And [Trump] spoke to them. We may not have liked his words, but they turned out for him. I mean, the map was beyond [Ronald] Reagan. We need to start listening more about the concerns of everyday Americans. … I have faith that some good, decent people are going to work for him.”

Whoopi Goldberg reacted to Griffin’s comment, by noting: “You can always say, ‘Oh, [Harris] should have done this.’ She was everywhere, she talked to everybody — and people didn’t come out. I don’t know why, and it doesn’t even matter … it’s hard for some of us to hear that rhetoric after 50 years. You know, after 70 years, to hear that rhetoric coming back, to hear things that came out of people’s mouths that we all decided as a public group that we weren’t going to talk to each other that way. I feel okay when I hear somebody talking down to somebody else, I’m all right with that. What I’m not all right with is trying to further wreck the country.”

Goldberg added that she will refuse to say Trump’s name, noting, “I’m still not going to say his name. That’s not going to change.” She was also one of the celebrities who said they would leave the country of Trump won in 2016.

Opined Joy Behar: “My takeaway is that the system works. We live in a democracy. People spoke. This is what people wanted. I vehemently disagree with the decision that Americans made, but I feel very, very hopeful that we have a democratic system in this country. … It’s been very difficult, but we have a country — if we can keep it.”

The reaction follows a slew of Hollywood and media outpouring over the election result.

Hollywood celebrities reacted on X with a mixture of fatalism and fury: “Goodbye, America. It was nice knowing you.”

CNN commentator Van Jones gave a grim analysis on the cable news channel’s election desk: “So it’s easy to blow this off — ‘Oh, look at the elite, they’re gonna get their comeuppance.’ It’s not the elite who are going to pay the price. It’s people who woke up this morning with a dream and are going to bed with a nightmare.”

While The Daily Show host Jon Stewart offered a message of hope to viewers: “I promise you, this is not the end.”

  1. Correction: I just checked and Scholz is open to a confidence vote before western Christmas. I had heard elections would likely be moved up from March to January but it’s hard to say at this point.

  2. *Natalie Brunell | Trump, the Economy & World War III:
    Col. Douglas Mcgregor’s Shocking Predictions *
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omnMNMyDGPo

    [Video – 48:01]

    ‘ In this episode with Col. Doug[las] Macgregor we discuss:

    Economic outlook for the next presidency
    Why Col. predicts a financial ‘Armaggedon’ and crisis ahead
    Investing in gold, Bitcoin and cash
    What should the President of the United States be an expert in?
    Can we now avoid WWIII and escalating global conflicts? ‘

    As always, the Colonel does not disappoint…

    • The Colonel said something about “shiplifts” when he was talking about how counties went to rail systems to speed up deliveries decades ago. What is a shiplift? Is it a rail system under water or do these contractors have fleets of ships that speed things up?

      I really like the Colonel, too. Just as I do Elon Musk (did he buy FOX News?) RFK Jr., JD Vance, and Rep. Thomas Massie. His Chief of Staff did a great job with the campaign, too.

      Hopefully, these changes will be embraced by other countries, such as the UK. I imagine everybody is more optimistic than we’ve been for a very long while.

      • “I imagine everybody is more optimistic…”

        I doubt UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is,
        not after sending 100 UK Labour political agents
        to help the Vice-President get elected to President.

  3. The level of introspection among the Gaslight Media is hilarious. According to Glenn Beck, apparently they believe they didn’t call Trump “Hitler” enough times. That would have done it!

    Also they believe they needed to put out more ads about women lying to their husbands.

    As a Christian, I would kindly ask them to do some serious self-reflection but, since they won’t, then go on wallowing in your collective delusions.

  4. I think The Young Turks actually have a pretty good take on the election. That is: the Dems have become all about fringe identity politics and have abandoned the working class of all races.

    If they continue to believe Kamala ran a flawless campaign and she only lost because America is racist, Dems will continue to lose. Blaming the voters for a loss is not a good strategy because there is nothing to learn from.

  5. The View speaks to its own political demographic, just like Rush Limbaugh did for his.

    Over 67 million Americans voted for Kamala Harris. That’s not a small group of people.

    • If they weren’t voting for Trump, did they have a choice? No. They should have had the opportunity to choose whomever they wanted in the primaries, but they weren’t given that option. So, yes, 67 million Democrats voted, but not necessarily for Kamala. They voted “not for Trump.”

      • Why we haven’t been able to strip Soros of his American citizenship and exiled him from our shores is distressing to me. Viktor Orban, the PM of Hungary (Soros’ birthplace) did this. Putin outlawed his NGOs from Russia.

        • As I understand it (in the UK at least)
          you cannot strip someone of citizenship
          unless he/she/(other pronoun as desired)
          already is the citizen of some other country.
          The point is to not create a stateless person.
          Someone must be responsible for the recreant.

    • Joseph Lipper, what do you think 67 million people voted for?

      I had so many conversations with people who were foaming at the mouth with disdain for Donald Trump and sounding the alarm about how we need to be afraid because for the first time in American history 1/3 of the population would start killing another 1/3. Seriously. That what some of them were saying.

      None of them seemed to remember how much better things were for everyday Americans who are not rich under Donald Trump, most especially people of color (i.e. black people). I remember how much cheaper everything was.

      I tried to have reasonable conversations with them. I asked them what it is that Kamala Harris has done or says she WILL do that they are excited about.

      And literally every single one of them folded into babbling ad hominem.

      So I’d like to hear it from you. You must have voted for her, right? What is it about her that you were excited about?

      • Ronda, I haven’t voted in any presidential elections for 35 years. I’m completely neutral on the matter. Whoever wins is who I pray for as the president of our country.

    • 67 million people could be wrong.

      And if 67 million people think she is presidential material we are in deep trouble.

      Funny situation that as Veep she was not particularly liked by both sides. Once she became candidate, people seemed to lose their memory.

  6. * Prominent Catholic theologian: Francis may no longer be regarded as legitimate due to heresy *
    https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/prominent-catholic-theologian-francis-may-no-longer-be-regarded-as-legitimate-due-to-heresy/?utm_source=featured-news&utm_campaign=usa

    “We are now in a position to answer the question: Is Francis a public and notorious
    heretic through notoriety of fact? If so, does that mean he is not the pope? … *

    [There follows a very long article establishing the grounds under
    which a Pope may be found to be a public and notorious heretic
    under notoriety of law or notoriety of fact; concluding that he is,
    indeed, a public and notorious heretic under notoriety of fact.]

    ” … This conclusion should not be a startling one for those that have examined his words and actions. As Prof. de Mattei says, his public rejection of the faith amounts to a tacit resignation from the pontificate. He clearly does not believe the Catholic faith, and refuses to profess it; how can he possibly function as the pope or make a claim on Catholics to believe and obey him? Such claims are sheer impudence on his part. An honest man would state that he could not believe the Catholic faith and that he was resigning the papacy in consequence.

    What is startling is the refusal of Catholics to acknowledge this obvious fact. One cannot say that Francis has been deceitful about his beliefs. He shows some tact and guile in putting them across, but he is basically above board about his views. In response to this straightforwardness, almost all bishops and cardinals have ignored his departure from the faith, and acted as if they belong to a cult where blind obedience and mindless adoration of an evil leader is praiseworthy and compulsory. This is a betrayal of their duty to God, and it has to end. All believing bishops and cardinals should publicly state that Francis has clearly ceased to accept the Catholic faith. For pastoral reasons they might begin by asking him to retire from the papacy because of his unbelief, rather than bluntly and immediately stating that he is no longer the pope. But it is not permissible to continue treating him as the legitimate ruler of the Church.”

    Is this reasoning and conclusion correct in the eyes of the Orthodox Church?
    If so, will we really be expected to unite with a public and notorious heretic?

  7. Here is Viganò’s view on Trump’s victory and it’s effect
    on the Deep State, Deep Church and Globalists…

    * Archbishop Viganò: Trump’s victory is a formidable setback for the New World Order *
    https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/archbishop-vigano-trumps-victory-is-a-formidable-setback-for-the-new-world-order/?utm_source=featured-news&utm_campaign=usa

    ‘Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò congratulated Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. elections, deeming it a divine intervention against the ‘criminal’ New World Order and calling on Christians to pray for Trump’s success in dismantling ‘deep state’ influence.’

    Editor’s note: The following story is taken from a brief post on X (formerly Twitter) by Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò following the election of Donald Trump as 47th President of the United States of America.

    “Donald J. Trump’s victory in the electoral competition for the presidency of the United States of America constitutes a historic moment in the dramatic events of the present and marks a formidable setback for the criminal plan of the New World Order.

    I express my warmest congratulations to President Trump, while I thank Our Lord for having prevented the United States and the Western world from definitively falling into the tentacles of the deep state and globalist tyranny.

    The battle against the subversive elite of psychopathic criminals who hold the West hostage is not over; it now begins.

    I urge American Catholics and all Christians to pray for President Trump, so that the Lord may protect him in this transition phase towards taking office in the White House, guiding him in the unavoidable eradication of the lobby of corrupt and perverted people subservient to the deep state. His determined action against the traitors of the nation will also weaken the work of the deep church, which today holds the Catholic Church hostage.

    May God bless America.”

  9. Honestly, who cares what they say anymore? The View’s severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, as with the rest of legacy news, is proving fatal. Cases in point: half of all Americans who took offense at being called garbage by the likes of The View turned instead, by the multi-millions, to Rogan’s podcast, Bannon’s War Room, Tucker’s interviews, Daily Wire, Tim Cast, Blaze TV and Infowars, to name a few. My guess is their “Trump is Hitler” mantra was seen by working class Americans as the pathetic last gasps of desperation by the out-of-touch elitists that they are. Most likely TDS contagion, which has infected every liberal mainstream newsroom, will continue to blind them from taking responsibility for Hitler’s landslide victory, and their own fading into obscurity.
