Her picture is interesting. I find that pictures of older female celebrities all look the same. A big head on a cartoon body. It reminds me of paper cut out books for dressing up the figures in my youth - early fifties maybe. No, no my youth wasnt in my early fifties but the cut outs were. :)

Cutting off Trump's head wouldn't make much difference to his performance as president. May even improve.

I agree, when she was younger back in the Seinfeld days, she was hip, funny, and attractive. Now she's looks gaunt, and to use a horse analogy, rode hard and put away wet. Every time I see her on late night TV or other, her comedy persona has disintegrated into something crude and unfunny. Gone are the days of true comedians, who didn't need to swear or be crass to be funny.

Well, there's Tina Fay.

Trump looks good though...appropriately orange.

Unfortunately his beheading would have to include Pence, Ryan, Hatch and then St. Dapiacle (anybody remember him?)

Pretty disgusting and tasteless, his son saw that and thought it was real... 'Comedians' these days are no longer funny, they are just plain malicious. CNN has terminated their affiliation with her.

I guess this pic was taken before she was radicalized

So much for freedom of expression ... bad taste certainly, but is it hate speech? Hate speech requires requires the act to have an imminent effect.

Kathy Griffin is out of a job at CNN.

The cable network on Wednesday terminated its agreement with the comic, who for years has co-hosted its New Year's Eve program with Anderson Cooper, after a photo of Griffin holding a bloody, severed head in the likeness of President Trump went viral on social media.

Not really 'hate speech', although it was certainly hateful. There is very little freedom of speech or expression these days.

The right is mad over Kathy Griffin’s gruesome Trump video. The left asks: Remember Ted Nugent?

At a time of strong partisan divide, when one side messes up, the other pounces like a bird of prey.
****
As the backlash against Griffin continues, many on social media have pointed out what they see as a double standard.
****
Two years later, during a hunting and outdoor trade show in Las Vegas in 2014, he called Obama a “communist-raised, communist-educated, communist-nurtured subhuman mongrel” and a “gangster” who weaseled his way into the presidency.

Nugent apologized for using the term “subhuman mongrel” during an interview with conservative radio host Ben Ferguson a month later. Ferguson then asked whether Nugent was directly apologizing to Obama, to which he replied, “Yes.”

But the controversial remarks didn't stop there.

Disgusting pictures have nothing to do with free speech IMO. If she dislikes his policies, she's free to say so.

And as long as that is not really Donald Trump's head, she is free to hold up a mannequin's fake head.

No, it is not a hate crime.
1. because it is not a criminal act.
2. Billionaire politicians are not generally considered a protected class.

D-lister Griffin must have needed the publicity but got more than she bargained for. Sure she has a right to her opinion and actions but there are consequences just as the Dixie Chicks found out in a hurry, their career in the U.S. has never made a come back. (one of my fave groups)

Anderson was a tad hypocritical though after his 'poopy' comments about Trump supporters...
