Trump supporters had nothing to do with it. That was between her and Trump. No one helped her fail, she did it all on her own.:)

Trump supporters sent her death threats, rape threats. She got back up on her own. She's much more successful than most folks on this forum. :)

She should get comfortable embracing obscurity, wouldn’t you say?

She just finished a worldwide tour where she sold out venues in minutes. She sold out Carnegie Hall. A retired fellow who lives up on a mountain and plays with his goats all day made a thread about her.

Every single one of us on this thread is much more obscure than she is, ever will be. Unless you really are that old actor in your picture. Lol.

She really crossed the point of no return with that horrible picture.
According to her supporters she returned big as ever:)
No point in arguing about it. She admits it ruined her career. Nothing to argue about.

Well Bob, seeing as how she sold out Carnegie Hall, had sold out tours all around the world, a packed house at Radio City Music Hall, clearly she's got more than one supporter.

I personally don't care much for her comedy. I'd never heard of her until Donald's tantrums gave her so much publicity it was impossible to not know about her. He is to be credited for her worldwide tour's success! Seriously. The whole tour was named after that incident. I'm sure a huge percentage of the folks who rushed to buy their tickets did so not only due to wanting to hear her, but on account of despising Donald.

I do respect that she earned her money herself. She wasn't a Trump. She didn't grow up with a silver spoon in her mouth. She wasn't a Melania. She didn't take her clothes off for money and then marry somebody old enough to be her daddy to get her money. She became a self-made millionaire. I also admire that she persevered. Folks did their best to keep her down. She got right back up and laughed right in their faces.

Then II have to wonder what is she crying about?

Forget images shes posted being offensive and killing her career.....


Its FAR more offensive that enough people ever found her funny enough to allow her to legitimately say she HAD a career....

She ranks on the humor scale somewhere between nails on a chalkboard and kicking puppies.

Id rather listen to 30 hours of endless Jeff Dunham with a Larry the Cable Guy puppet than 30 minutes of her......

Well Bob, in your own article, from Fox News - lol - she's got a big, satisfied smile on her face. It has a video thumbnail of her looking as happy as can be. She was recounting what happened years back. She sure as heck isn't crying now.

Sounds like folks who were intent on enjoying some schadenfreude are the ones crying with disappointment, lol.

Well she's not my cup of tea either, but clearly she is for lots of other folks since she sold out Carnegie Hall in minutes, sold out other major venues in minutes during her worldwide tour.

I'm a supporter of the truth. That's all. I've never been a supporter of this lady. Had never even heard of her till the Trump incident. I respect that she's a self-made success & I respect her resiliency.

You sure are right that there's nothing to argue about, since it's a fact that her comeback tour was hugely successful. I'm sure she'd agree with you that what comes around, goes around. She's mighty pleased with what she's reaping. Millions.

Again, I stand by my statement of THAT being far more offensive than anything she could ever say or do.

She says or does sonething .... meh.

People line up in droves to give her money.... I lose hope for humanity.

That's what makes you lose hope for humanity? Jeepers.

I find it more dismaying that on account of a photo shoot the lady got credible rape & death threats.

All the "self-made success" in the world can't excuse what she did though and it seems in your posts that you can only stick up for her because her monetary success and/or "strong will". At the end of the day, what she did was inexcusable, whether it was Donald Trump's head in that picture or not. How is that any better than a terrorist group? You say you're a supporter of the truth, but the one and only Truth that matters in this world is Jesus Christ. What she did was vile, though we should approach her with forgiveness as Christians, we also have to recognize that none of her worldly works will ever get her to Heaven.

Kathy Griffin says severed Trump head photo made her ‘unemployable, uninsurable’: ‘I'm still on the D-list’ | Fox News

That's the way it goes Kathy.
Up top the mountain we do not support
such actions from either side of the aisle.
The US government offers several
good retraining programs
for those who have lost their jobs.
True, we live in a Great Country.

She's unemployable but still makes a movie about it? That sounds like she's still exploiting the event but just playing the victim. I'm not a fan of the method but I can't argue about her right to do so. She's not the first to use an effigy in a political protest (most commonly burning) and she won't be the last. Just Google "Trump effigy" and see what you get.

What she did years back was indeed inexcusable, vile. I'm not "sticking up" for her. I'm telling the facts. Would it be more Christian of me to dog pile in on the schadenfreude? Not at all.

She's inflicted a whole heck of a lot less harm on folks than Donald Trump, so I'm not going to get bent out of shape about her inexcusable gag directed at him years back that did not actually harm him.
How is that photo shoot better than a terrorist group? Is that a real question you're asking? Is that the point we've gotten to? That folks can't tell the difference between a terrorist group and Kathy Griffin's dumb photo shoot. My word.

What she did was vile, though we should approach her with forgiveness as Christians, we also have to recognize that none of her worldly works will ever get her to Heaven.

That's true of every single person under the sun.
