New Year's Eve with Anderson Cooper. BUT...
We have freedom of expression in this country. While I think her Trump head was a bit over the top, it doesn't hold a candle to all the years that Obama was lynched in effigy, gorilla faces were photoshopped onto Michelle, Barack dressed as a witch doctor and on and on...and nobody got fired, nobody got death threats, everyone on the right just sort of snickered up their collective sleeves. But let someone got a little over the line with Trump and look out the orange shitgibbon widdle feelings were hurt so go try and destroy someone.
I really don't like my country much any more. If I weren't so damn old, I would be seriously considering emigrating.
On Edit: I guess I'm not the only one who thinks this way. From Huffington:
You Can Hate What Kathy Griffin Did. Heres Why You Should Defend Her Anyway.
