    That being said.....where is the outrage about the photographer? Wasn't it his idea? He seems to be not be remorseful at all and wants to do more stuff like that. I haven't seen one thing about him at all. I get she has a certain level of fame that he does not but the fact that she is the one losing everything does not sit right with me.
    I can agree on the photographer/publisher. Unfortunately, it's the name on the box of cereal and not the actual cereal producer, that gets the shaft, know what I mean?

    And her press conference was a complete joke. Trying to blame old white men for keeping her down, etc etc......um, you posed with the current president's head, decapitated. That ain't right.

    And before anyone says anything, I'd say the exact same thing for ANY president. It is not right to do such a thing.

      As I understand it she was parodying the "blood coming out of whatever" comment from Trump to Megyn Kelly, by bloodying up the Trump mask to symbolize that. However, the picture ended up looking more like she was advocating Trump be beheaded. That's what I saw and what most saw.

      All that being said I think everyone is going way too far in vilifying here. Including the Trumps. 1. She's a comedian. 2. She's nobody. But, instead everyone wants to apparently destroy her life for doing something stupid. She usually does stupid things but this time she just did the wrong stupid thing. I mean seriously, the Secret Service? Really?

        I think by law, the SS has to investigate any possible threat to the president. Most often, they look into it, and say, "Nope, it's a joke," and that's it.

          Gonna guess this is what happened:

          SS: Well, some half-arsed comedian made a joke.
          *checks out recent activity of said comedian*
          *fills out mandatory report*
          "We're done here."

                That's good. Well done.

                Edit: stealing that for other social media.

                          True story: Notre Dame had two Kevin Nugent's play hockey for them, one recently, the son, and one in the 1970s, the father. When I was a young wearendhockey lad, following a game around 1977 I asked the older Nugent if he was any relation to Ted. Nope. Too bad I thought then, 'cause that would be cool... The older Nugent had a very brief pro career but interestingly enough was on the ice as Wayne Gretzky's teammate when the Great One scored the first of his 940 professional goals.

                            I saw Nugent in concert in the 90s...it was awful.

                                Saw this post on another board and it is pretty much exactly how I feel about this whole Kathy Griffin situation:

                                She apologized. The apology seemed genuine; it was short, and to the point. Then she had to muck it up and have that press conference. I'm sure she panicked and was trying to put a plug on this geyser... but what she did was make it worse, and negate any help the 1st apology did. If she had laid low this would have blown over and in 6 months she would have been fine. In fact, yes, all the Trump anger/hate/frustration may have even been a boon - like Spinderella says above- as Trump sinks lower and lower and more and more people see him for the tiny hands vile person he is. Now though, she's lost credibility. I was a big fan of hers, and I've lost respect for her. Ask 3 days ago if I would go to a show of hers and I would have said YES! loudly. (in fact- about a week ago I was looking up her tour dates). Now, I wouldn't go to a show of hers- and it's not because of the picture. It's her reaction to the backlash.

                                The reason it makes me so angry is that there are legitimate reasons to call Trump out- to get a lawyer- hell- to freakin' impeach- perhaps (?) imprison- the man. And.... this... this just is NOT one of those cases. And it weakens future cases when someone cries and screams censorship (oh... wait... is it sexism???... oh... wait... is it bullying??) in one of the few cases where this simply isn't true! It feels like it delegitimatizes all the truth in the times he is just that- because now the nuts who support him can point to this whole clusterf&ck and have someone like me agreeing with them.

                                Also- yes... it pulls the focus. And I know Kathy mentioned that in the press conference- but- who was pulling the focus here??? Her. Ted Nugent, Snoop Dogg, Marilyn Manson, part of the reason that all went away- their careers weren't really affected, was that they did it- and either continued to cater to their base (not care), or just moved on. The truth is I only watched about 2-3 minutes of the press conference, because after that long I was so annoyed and angry at her rhetoric I had to turn it off. She did herself no favors in this (and- IMHO- actually caused some harm to the left).
