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.

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.

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.

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

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 39 points 2 years ago

Sad to see? Whoopi has been a known POS for a while now

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...

[–] towerful@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago

Hmm. Shit "hot takes". Not "shit hot takes"

[–] marlowe221@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I’m a millennial. I’ll be 42 in two months. I am lucky enough to own a home too.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Naja_Kaouthia@lemmy.world 39 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Jfc lady I’ve had a job for twenty years now. (1982 vintage millennial).

Have you tried buying some bootstraps?

[–] moody@lemmings.world 1 points 2 years ago

I got some, but I can't afford the boots yet.

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 34 points 2 years ago

Whoopie Goldberg: Still a piece of shit.

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Don't link fox news? This isn't a credible source of information.

[–] return2ozma@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

It's the only source with the clip that isn't Twitter

[–] Binthinkin@kbin.social 13 points 2 years ago

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

All it takes to make it a non-Google AMP link is to press backspace 4 times after you paste the link: https://www.foxnews.com/media/whoopi-goldberg-clashes-the-view-co-host-homeownership-biden-get-job
