In honor of the tweet, WERS (Emerson College radio) made today's 9:30 Coffee Break theme "nonsense songs". They played Tubthumping by Chumbawamba, Sussudio by Phil Collins, MmmBop by Hanson, D'yer Maker by Led Zeppelin, and Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da by The Beatles. So at least something good came of it.

I don't understand your statement. You think China should have lower emissions?

Any agreement that actually works will curb emissions for everybody. By excluding the #1 emitter of CO2 from any real reductions, any agreement is useless. Of course, no agreement is possible with China and India and a few others if they are restricted so it is a catch-22. Also, there are no real consequences or penalties with the accord so whether the US stays in or opts out really won't have any bearing one way or the other with the environment.

The accord was a PR marketing photo-op and nothing more.

What is the alternative? You aren't going to get a better agreement.
 
I have nothing against the pic and since she is a celerbity I say nothing major bad will happen to her. But beside getting fired from CNN that nothing major, she can get a new major gig somewhere else. But just say, if some average joe did this and posted on social media, that person would be arrested so fast.

A lot of people think what she did was illegal and she should be arrested

Did Kathy Griffin break the law with her photo of a decapitated Trump?

What she did was dumb, but it broke no laws.

How many people were arrested during the eight years Obama was president? I'm sure there were people who made him in effigy
 
my local news blurred out the head.

it doesn't bother me either. she is an aging comedian who needs to find a way to stay relevant. so she pushed the limits a bit too far this time, who cares.

what i do like is the equality of the backlash she is facing. while i am generally opposed to internet witch hunts, if they are simply a fact of life then it's nice to see the left be forced to go after one of their own.

I know the secret service will investigate her, but I doubt she will get arrested. Yea it could be considered a threat to the president. It like that Madonna incident that happen a few months back, but I believe nothing major bad to her and she still moving on with her career and it will be the same with Kathy Griffin.

Madonna causes stir with confrontational, R-rated anti-Trump speech - CNNPolitics.com

But if Kathy does get arrested, then she should appear on OITNB tons of lesbian sex.
 
Ted Nugent has publicly threatened both Obama and Hillary, several times. It wasn't a joke, or a simulated act, but an actual threat. He was never arrested.

Trump himself has made threats and incited violence. He told gun owners to take care of Hillary. He was never arrested. In fact, they made him President.

I'm not sure how Kathy Griffin thought this wouldn't be a really bad idea, but she's paying for it now.
