PREACH!!!
Fantastical

Kathy Griffin is just a distraction for more important things. It's all my conservative FB friends are talking about. Just go away.

Man, she will do anything to try and stay relevant, won't she.
Especially after she was fired from her CNN gig, and deservedly so.

Except it is. Free speech isn't for Kathy Griffin to pretend to decapitate the US President but then not like that his family spoke out against it. Bullying? Seriously? Kathy Griffin should have just went quietly. Instead now that whatever was left of her career imploded she is trying to go on the defensive. Take that L and go silently Kathy. The rest of the world knows who Donald Trump is. We don't need what you think is artistic expression.

It's not bullying that they spoke out, it's "bullying" that he sent the secret service to harass her over it.
Really that's more terrorism than anything.

Hahaha brutal
Had anyone else done the same with Obama, I would've expected that person to be raked through the coals and would also probably wish that persons career be destroyed.
Just because they did it to a person you don't like doesn't make it ok. There are lines and she clearly not only crossed it - she stomped on it while she was crossing it.
All the damage to her reputation and career she brought to herself, deservedly so. I just hope that no violence comes her way because of it.

Was there that big of a controversy around it? I haven't seen or heard much about it outside the one thread posted here.

My thoughts exactly from the beginning.
It's ok if our current president tries to pass healthcare legislation that could directly end the lives of thousands of people. It's fine that he is probably directly working with a mass murderer to undermine the USA.
But don't make an expressive photo, you might go too far. Someone might get their feelings​ hurt.
davepoobond
you can't put a price on sparks
Or puts it on a stick and requests that all questions be directed to the head. Then do some bad ventriloquism.
Partially agreed, but her apology showed a level of class one rarely sees from public apologies made in this day and age. I can't stand her, but was really impressed by it.

The country rejected any sense of decorum when they elected Donald Trump. You reap what you sow
What?

This will be good, I like Kathy.

This. The people who get it up to even turn up their nose at that photo shoot need some perspective. Trump deserves to have his money drained form him, his family split up and for him and his many lackeys to land in jail for the bullshit they're pulling with American lives. All of that far worse than Kathy's pic. Fuck the Trump family. Fuck the people targeting Kathy. And fuck the mealymouthed people who want to shame her with "we go high" rhetoric because Trump and this administration don't deserve their feelings spared.
I wish she would tell Trump and pretty much everyone else who had a problem with what she did to fuck off. She shouldn't have apologized, she should have shot back with righteous anger. Trump deserves zero respect as he has earned none and pissed away what goodwill ('Well let's give him a chance') he even had to begin with.
Now that she's got a lawyer involved I'm sure it will be more PR bullshit trying to water down what she did, which is disappointing coming from her.

Someone has to go out on a limb to reach these nutty wackos. Good work Kathy.

Yes, was the dumbest thing she could do. After doing the dumb thing before that. Should've just shown a Trump puppet sucking a Putin puppet.

She should apply Trumps tactics and simply double down.

Lol I hope midterms go well for GAF's sake cause if Dems flounder again I don't know how people defending taking a picture with a decapitated head of a sitting president would respond. We need some moderates and the Dems sure as shit won't get them defending that shit or supporting it anyway.

Kathy Griffin isn't running for office
I mean if GWAR came out with an animatronic Trump doll that they basically tortured and killed it on stage in front of a roaring crowd would anyone bat an eye? Well I'm sure Trump and his zealots would but I think a monster like Trump deserves things like this every day of the week.
The secret service paying people a visit isn't exactly new.

I doubt that they're used as Trump's personal bully squad

Preach again.
I like Kathy and she does a good stand up routine. I get why the straight guys in the thread don't find her funny, but she kills in front of her main audience, LGBT. She's revelant to that community in terms of comedy.
And once all the shit comes out about Trump, this will be nonsense. She did something extremely controversial but this is another case of Billy Bush. People trying to destroy someone who isn't directly involved in a campaign that will literally kill people.

Just like her mother, Gloria Allred, there doesn't appear to be a TV camera that Lisa Bloom will avoid.
I've never found Kathy Griffin appealing at all, but in this case just shut up and stop trying to play the victim. It's shit like this that empowers Trump's base.

Agreed. If she cared so much about this artistic statement, she should have stuck by it.
