    Joy Behar claimed that President Donald Trump's brief handshake with the Supreme Court's Chief Justice John Roberts -- at his address before a joint session of Congress -- amounted to solid evidence that the Court was
    colluding with Trump.

    Cohost Sunny Hostin weighed in ahead of Behar, boasting about the fact that
    she had not watched Trump's remarks at all and touting counter-programming
    that had garnered some 200,000 viewers to the millions who watched the president.

    "I know how much this present loves his ratings, so I did not turn the TV on.
    I turned the TV off ... I watched the State of the People Summit which was counter-programming," she said.

    Behar has a mental breakdown over Trump shaking Chief Justice John
    Roberts' hand. She cooks up a crazy conspiracy theory and claims
    there's no longer any separation of powers:

    Behar then jumped in with her assessment of the Democrat rebuttal, delivered
    by freshman Senator Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) -- which she said sounded "very presidential in many ways, and she wasn't being held hostage like the woman last year" -- before pivoting to address her greatest concern about the evening.

    "What I really wanted to talk about was something you just said, that we
    don't have a separation of powers anymore," Behar continued. "And there was a moment there that really stopped my heart and that was when Trump shook hands with the members of the Supreme Court who were there ... He said to Justice Roberts, 'thank you again, thank you again, won't forget it.' Now, what do
    you think he was referring to?"

    Behar then speculated that Trump was obviously thanking Roberts for the decision regarding presidential immunity, and her cohosts agreed. Hostin pointed out the Court's low approval rating, suggesting the two things were somehow linked.

    Behar kept at it, going on to argue that the exchange between Trump and
    Roberts was clearly evidence that the Supreme Court, like the Republican-led Congress, was "in the bag" for President Trump.

    [OK, she's just trolling us at this point, right?]

    needed was a new president"

    But when Obama shook the hands of justices before and after his speeches, that wasn't proof of anything, right, Joy, you corpulent banshee?

    No separation of powers due to a handshake? That seems rather odd
    given the fact that Trump didn't nominate Roberts for SCOTUS, Dubya
    did.

    What I've always wondered about is how the US claims such separation
    of powers given the VP chairing the Senate. Unlike the president that
    gives Vance executive and legislative authority right?
