    As a gen X I resent the fact that a comedy icon from my childhood has become a nasty ignorant old lady who openly supports a literal child rapist and shits on younger people for an insane economy that is not their fault.

      Ikr? She used to be fucking brutal ripping into the kind of bullshit she now says seriously.

      She was less of a jackass when she started on the view though. Everyone that hosts on that damn thing turns into a moron eventually. The ones that start as morons get worse, but still.

        I still remember that bobbleheaded dunderwhelp Elisabeth Hasselbeck. I don’t remember anything in particular she said on the show, but my head cannon is that she was never without a finger in her nose and a thumb up her ass.

      I was heartbroken when I learned that Guillermo Del Toro signed a petition to have Polanski pardoned. These Hollywood people live on another planet, one where being a child molester isn’t a deal breaker for them. Another example being Victor Salva, who repeatedly raped a child but was still getting jobs long after his conviction

        Yeah it’s a pretty hideous barometer of people’s moral compass.

      That’s the thing. I wouldn’t be disappointed to hear Tucker Carlson saying something like that. I mean, it’d probably count as the nicest thing he’s said all season. Same with whatever that Fox version of the view is.

      But Whoopi used to have heart.

      What we need is a vaccine for affluenza.

    There’s a group of people for whom “Millennial” will always mean “teenager” and I’m sad to see Whoopi is one of them.

      Look I don’t really trust the opinion of a person who read the script of Theodore Rex and signed on to the project anyway.

      Goldberg has had shit hot takes for like 30 years…

        About to be 44 also lucky to own a home. Fuck that cunt no longer can have respect for her. It’s sad she was a good actress at one time back in the 80’s.

    She’s a fucking old bag and a traitor to what’s good in the world. Fuck of Whoopie Cushion.
