  • Woman who gave Trump the middle finger fired from her job

    From theguardian.com

    A woman whose picture went viral after she raised her middle finger at Donald Trump as his motorcade passed her on her bicycle has been fired from her job. Juli Briskman was cycling in Virginia last month when she offered the gesture in a gut reaction to Trump’s policies, she said. “He was passing by and my blood just started to boil,” she told the Huffington Post. “I’m thinking, Daca recipients are getting kicked out. He pulled ads for open enrollment in Obamacare. Only one third of Puerto Rico has power. I’m thinking, he’s at the damn golf course again. “I flipped off the motorcade a number of ... (full story)

So let it be written. So let it be done.

that's an expensive finger.
Where has freedom of expression gone.
HufPo will surely "organize" a job for her .... lol

Where has freedom of expression gone.
I don't think its left building just yet. She's free to express herself any way she see's fit. She could flip Trump the bird again and probably will. That doesn't mean expression won't have consequences though.

While the Nation may appear to be completely divided with regards to political stance, it's probably not as bad as presented in the Media. Their job is to "sell" and nothing sells like drama. I think the larger reality is, the majority of U.S. Citizens, regardless of which side of the political fence they are on, actually respect the Office of the President. I'm a Moderate Republican, I would NEVER have given Obama or Clinton the finger. I actually thought the latter was a brilliant President in many ways.

On the up-side, with all her newly found free-time she can express herself even more.

Why he(Trumpete) wasn't fire when made racist comments? Well done girl.. your act represent we all showing this idiot our fingers.
As a communications specialist she's obviously excellent at her job and has reached millions of people with her message. She should be hired elsewhere immediately on at least double the rate she was getting at her old job.
It only proves once again that in many cases women have more courage than men.
The girl will find a new job but this photo remains forever. HeHe
She broke company rules. She embarrassed her employer, a government contractor.
And in fact, the Secret Service should be questioning her.

otherwise, Forex Factory needs to leave the Political anti Trump bias to the newspapers and TV networks.
If it was her thumb,then she would have got the finger.

Is that not a warning from "Tower" to Forex Factory what they can and can not publish.
And...Of course, you know the rules of her company. Tower guys know everything.

It is right in the article (and in other related articles) --"and told her it violated social media policy".

First i wondered how anyone can be fired for political statement.???? She's not declaring independence is she??
Then i got it

She was plain dumb.
.... displeased she had used the image as her profile picture on Twitter and Facebook,....

How dumb is that!!!! Courageous yes, vain x10 times.

Something odd.
...Virginia, however, has “at will” employment laws, meaning private-sector employers can fire people for any reason...

Hahaha!!!
Welcome slavery!!!
Whatever happened with the great "democracy "??? Human rights....etc...???
Your boss can fire you for sneezing??? 😭😨😨

GL to the working masses!!!

It's just a vicious circle, what comes around goes around! Freedom has its own consequences.
What's the problem? Her action was against company policies. She legally expressed herself. Her employer legally fired her. Freedom comes with responsibility.

She was only fired, if it were my country Nigeria, by now she would have been under serious torture by DSS, ARMY, POLICE, etc.
You guys in America are even enjoying.

Heavily slanted Aussie. Especially on campuses. And in the courts. Rare the left has a real beef.

Naija we hail thee. Very true in Nigeria in these days of radio station proscriptions, social media curation, newspaper gagging etc. Americans still have it good, not just as good as it use to be. Big-ups to the lady though should be getting a better job pretty soon.

Lebron "King" James spoke against him. so does Cleveland Cavaliers fire him. Steph Curry does not want to meet him and rightly so. so does the warriors fire him. mockery of a country
Good good...put her to jail even.

Presidents are no longer respected, such "acts" shouldn't be permitted
He has been elected legally...if she is not happy with that she can shut up and move to another country

I wonder why people who believe they are better than Trump are angry that he won an election that they could not bring themselves out of their sanctimonious shells to contest for.
He beat Clinton fair and square, and you still can't suck it in but now you are showing the world how hateful and hypocritical the left is. Still very funny to me.

Some people would take issue to that considering Trump lost the popular vote by at least 2 million votes. Basically, Trump won on a technicality to which his campaign exploited by winning traditional blue-leaning battleground states by razor-thin margins using questionable bait tactics, like lying.

Her firing will most likely end up being a blessing for her. No one really knew of her existence before the photo went viral. Now she can probably choose from multiple offers presented to her.

More importantly, her photo has become a symbol of the anti-trump movement.
I would hire her in a minute.

To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize

She found out. Good girl.

How about a nice "happy happy summer camp" for people like her ... you know, like dear Adolph used to have.
Just one more "popular vote" for DT. Everybody loves him ... and especially women.
It's only her back view, what's the big deal? It could have been worse; she could have thrown rotten eggs. That's what happens here.

Her 15-min. fame, yes. But a symbol of t he anti-trump movement? Not sure about that. Just a fat-ass bitch raising an obscene gesture. Not that positive of even an image if you ask me. People usually rally behind something that sends a positive message and at least looks good, something that you would want to share with your children. Would you want to share with your children of somebody showing obscene gesture that is disrespectful to another person (forget he is the President for a moment)?

So this is just for shock value at the most and it's already dying down as this comment is being typed. Not even sure if she'll land a better job as a result of it. Would any company want to hire somebody who flicks off the CEO of their client? LOL

Whatever the game, whatever the trophy, a win is a win, and a loss is a loss. It tells you a lot about the competence of Clinton, winning the popular vote twice only to loose on technicality, does she really have what it takes to get the job done?
