The View is one of the most beloved daytime talk shows — hosted by women, of course — who offer their own point of view on the day’s news. And while the casual conversations usually escalate into a full-on debate, that is what makes it entertaining, informative and often times very funny. However, some fans have had enough of co-host Meghan McCain’s perspectives and are begging for her to be fired following a week filled with multiple on-air altercations. After McCain accused Whoopi Goldberg of finding terrorism “funny” during Tuesday’s episode, Twitter user Aimee Allen decided that she is so over the co-host and took to social media to call for McCain’s firing, according to Pop Culture . “Seriously? When is [The View] going to get rid of McCain???” the viewer asked on Twitter. “No one claps for her, she doesn’t let anyone else speak but demands to be heard herself and is so annoying.” Ouch, a tad harsh but also — she’s got a point. While Meghan McCain is the only Republican on the show she obviously brings an extremely different and not so popular side to the table. Of course, it would be hard for her to get her (sometimes offensive) points across — yet viewers wish she could handle her discussions in a more mature manner rather than her often heated and powerful jabs. Other fans are also calling for the series to drop the former Fox News contributor , who joined The View in 2017 during its 21st season. After the Tuesday altercation, which was prompted during a discussion of Bernie Sanders’ statement that even “terrible people” should have voting rights, a number of viewers took to social media to bash McCain. “I hope they fire you,” one person wrote. “You’re ruining the show hell I dont even want to watch anymore.” Another commented, “Off topic… I really wish The View would fire Meghan McCain… she makes the show unbearable to watch.” “Bring Nicolle Wallace back… everybody likes her…except Trump and that means she’s doing everything right.” But mind you, Trump definitely does not like the McCains. We all know that. (He also doesn’t like the majority of people — unless you are Kanye West .) In fact, the family of the late John McCain, who was a longtime Senate colleague of Joe Biden’s, might be backing Biden in the Democratic primary , and if he wins, they may further support him in the general election against Donald Trump. And although the ABC talk show is known for its frequent heated political discussions and even though McCain may be planning to back former Vice President Biden — many still believe she has crossed the line . After this emotional and drama-filled week — they may be right. Along with the Tuesday incident, during the “Hot Topics” segment on the Monday, April 22 episode, McCain unleashed when the topic of Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller’s report came up. McCain told her fellow co-hosts Joy Behar and Sunny Hostin that liberals need to move away from the Mueller report and focus on getting voters to not vote for Trump in the upcoming 2020 election. The bickering began as McCain went off on a tangent claiming that it will be the Democrats fault when President Trump gets elected again because of their ongoing demonization of Republicans. Sunny Hostin fought back in asking McCain about Republican accountability for Trump’s behavior. McCain refused to answer and rolled her eyes — like a bratty teenager who got her cell phone taken away. “I always took Trump seriously,” she replied. “You can go back and check the receipts when I worked at Fox and when I worked on my radio show. I always took Trump seriously.” “This mess that we all got ourselves into, I blame the left as much as the right, and the demonizing of all conservatives in this country, all Trump supporters in every way. You’re getting him re-elected.” Everyone allowed Meghan to speak until she foolishly said: “Trump didn’t collude with Russia.” Immediately Joy shot back and said, “You know that’s not true!” and Sunny ran off a list of Trump’s alleged crimes. Whoopi shut the conversation up real quick as she sent the show to commercial break. So will Meghan McCain be fired from The View ?? We wouldn’t be surprised but, at the end of the day, Meghan still has plenty of fans out there who love her on the show and think she does a great job at representing conservative values — while also not backing Donald Trump. The show needs that opposite point of view in order to truly reflect all sides. And if that’s just too much for you — maybe next time you tune in try keeping a bottle of ibuprofen in hand? Or whiskey … if you’re into that kind of thing at 11 a.m. on the weekday. But at that point — I may suggest just turning the TV off.

Source: Splash News / Splash News Comedian Volodymyr Zelensky Becomes New President Of Ukraine We’ve truly reached the times were anyone can become president, regardless of your political experience. According to ABC News , a Ukrainian comedian proved this to be true when he was elected as the president of Ukraine by a landslide. According to a national exit poll, Volodymyr Zelensky received 73% of the vote, knocking out the country’s incumbent president Petro Poroshenko , who conceded defeat. Zelensky will now lead one of the poorest countries in Europe which is still in a war with Russia that has killed 13,000 people since 2014. The 41-year-old presidential elect called his win a symbol for political change for other countries in the region. “I’m not yet officially the president, but as a citizen of Ukraine, I can say to all countries in the post-Soviet Union, look at us. Anything is possible!” No lies here. Zelensky’s win comes in the midst of deep dissatisfaction among Ukrainians with their political establishment, and weariness with the war. He ran on a platform of fighting corruption and upending the political elite, which is viewed as corrupt and indifferent to the concerns of everyday Ukrainians. Zelensky’s opponent, Poroshenko, is a 53-year-old billionaire confectionary tycoon who came to power on the back of mass protests in 2014 that toppled the country’s then-Russian-backed president, Viktor Yanukovych. He was one politician who couldn’t shake the perception that he supported corruption, thus Zelensky seemed like the better choice for many. “On the one hand, it’s not the best president for me, but at least he has no experience in corruption or all the things that our politicians have,” said Anna Dysheleva, a marketing executive. Despite promising to root out corrupted officials and end the war, Zelensky has barely made any detailed policy proposals. He’s also avoided the media and refused interviews. He mostly campaigned as a version of his on-screen persona, and instead of political rallies, he held stand-up comedy shows. Smh. On Zelensky’s T.V. show Servant of the People , Zelensky plays a schoolteacher who gets catapulted into the presidency when his rant about corruption goes viral. Once president, he dodges the traditional perks of his office and battles oligarchs who usually direct Ukrainian politics. Ironically, Zelensky came to power in spite of his relationship to one of Ukraine’s most controversial oligarchs, Ihor Kolomoisky, whose television channel, 1+1, airs Zelensky’s show. Kolomoisky has been in effective exile ever since Ukrainian authorities nationalized his bank, Privat Bank, accusing him and his colleagues of stealing billions of dollars from its account-holders. Some folks now fear Kolomoisky will follow Zelensky into power. Regardless, there are still some citizens and activists who support Zelensky. Prominent liberal journalist and member of parliament, Serhi Leshchenko said, “There is huge room for people to join his team with reform-minded orientation. I believe that he is a responsible, reliable person.” Mhm. We’ll wait and find out.
A lthough tech companies have been stagnant with moving the needle on racial and gender diversity, there are many individuals who are rising up the ranks and breaking barriers in the industry. According to USA Today , Facebook has nominated PayPal executive Peggy Alford to its board of directors. Alford, a prominent technology executive, would be the first African-American woman and second African-American to join the board of the social media giant. https://t.co/YThlHAPraP — USA TODAY (@USATODAY) April 12, 2019 The nomination is historic as Alford will become the first Black woman and the second Black person to join the board. The tech industry veteran—who is a graduate of the University of Dayton—has served in leadership positions at eBay and Rent.com. She took on the role of Senior Vice President of Core Markets at PayPal this year. Prior to joining the PayPal team, she was the Chief Financial Officer and Head of Operations for the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative; an organization created by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan that is designed to use technology as a solution to better education and change the criminal justice system. Zuckerberg believes Alford’s presence on the board will help the company move in the right direction in regards to diversity. “Peggy is one of those rare people who’s an expert across many different areas — from business management to finance operations to product development,” he said in a statement, according to the news outlet. “I know she will have great ideas that will help us address both the opportunities and challenges facing our company.” Alford is beyond thrilled to join the board and says she admires the company’s “desire to face hard issues head-on.” Last year American Express CEO Kenneth Chenault became the first African-American person to be appointed to Facebook’s board of directors. There is a need for more diversity on corporate boards—especially in regards to gender. According to Bloomberg , 21,424 U.S. board seats are held by men while only 5,088 are held by women.

We all know that Trump has no problem attacking people with specific insults, especially people he considers to be “other”. During a visit to TMZ Mayor Pete was asked about how he would respond if Trump came at him with homophobic remarks. You can hear the answer in the video below. We don’t put it past Trump to come up with some type of insult aimed at Buttigieg’s sexuality. It would be very on-brand.

Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 12, 2019 Trump was triggered into the bigoted tweet in response to the way Congresswoman Omar phrased a reference to the attack as “some people did something”. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi immediately took the petulant Trump to task for being the dips#!t that he is according to The Washington Post : “The memory of 9/11 is sacred ground, and any discussion of it must be done with reverence,” Pelosi said. “The President shouldn’t use the painful images of 9/11 for a political attack. “As we visit our troops in Stuttgart to thank them and be briefed by them, we honor our first responsibility as leaders to protect and defend the American people,” the statement continued. “It is wrong for the President, as Commander-in-Chief, to fan the flames to make anyone less safe.”
Source: Mathew Imaging / Getty Kim Kardashian Plans To Take The Bar Exam And Become Lawyer Kim Kardashian has mastered reality TV, fashion, make-up, and attention-sloring, but now she says she’s ready to master the law. According to TMZ , the mother of four revealed to VOGUE that she’s made the decision to become a full-blown attorney just like her daddy, Robert Kardashian. We’re not talking about a purchased law degree here, Kim says that she will work as an intern at a San Francisco law firm for the next four years and take the bar exam in 2022. “I had to think long and hard about this,” she says, gleefully devouring chile con queso with chips now that her Vogue shoot is over. What inspired her to embark on something so overwhelmingly difficult and time-consuming—even as she also runs a multimillion-dollar beauty enterprise—was the combination of “seeing a really good result” with Alice Marie Johnson and feeling out of her depth. “The White House called me to advise to help change the system of clemency,” she says, “and I’m sitting in the Roosevelt Room with, like, a judge who had sentenced criminals and a lot of really powerful people and I just sat there, like, Oh, shit. I need to know more. I would say what I had to say, about the human side and why this is so unfair. But I had attorneys with me who could back that up with all the facts of the case. It’s never one person who gets things done; it’s always a collective of people, and I’ve always known my role, but I just felt like I wanted to be able to fight for people who have paid their dues to society. I just felt like the system could be so different, and I wanted to fight to fix it, and if I knew more, I could do more.” Van Jones was quoted in the cover story and professed that he’s seen Kim do things that would lead her to be a legit attorney… And then the unexpected happened. “Kim Kardashian,” says Jones, “wound up playing this indispensable role, and a lot of people have gotten furious with me, saying I’m stealing the credit from African American activists who have been working on this issue for decades. And first of all, I’m one of them. But I was in the Oval Office with Kim and Ivanka and Jared and the president, and I watched with my own eyes Trump confess to having tremendous fears of letting somebody out of prison and that person going and doing something terrible, and the impact that that would have on his political prospects. He was visibly nervous about it. And I watched Kim Kardashian unleash the most effective, emotionally intelligent intervention that I’ve ever seen in American politics.” What do you think? Would you hire Kim Kardashian to get you or a loved one out of a jam?
