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.

So, Trump caused this?

Or would you simply like to have others think so, as the subject line suggests?

Trump had NFL owners by the balls. Now you go figure how it works.

Fair enough. I can see where her employer is coming from.....

In reply to ProWI

Who the Fack cares? ... you are suffering from Trump derangement syndrome

You liberals just don't seem to get this:

Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from its consequences

In reply to ProWI

Our choices have consequences. That was a stupid decision by her to use it as her profile photo.

Your thread should be Fired for being Stupid!

In reply to djdrastic

Tell that the KKKonservative woman who called Michelle Obama an ugly black bitch and was RE-HIRED after being initally dismissed!!!!!!!

Or was that he one who called her a monkey?

I can't keep track.

As much as I support free speech, if any of our employees publicly (say via social media) insult a politician they gone...

It doesn't matter if it's UNC or PNM..

We cannot afford our firm to be seen as either political or profane.

Surely she knew the possible consequences of her gesture.

So why ya'll defending Lil Laura when he had a brain fart against his Employer CWI Dave CAmeron??

and you guys believe all he shit they spread about North Korea.

It seems she will be better off....

In reply to ray

Social media claims another one.

She probably got a good severance package anyways.

In reply to DAVE400

That is sympathetic complicity of your employer and the political establishment. The two share a complicity that would be described as a fraternal association and wrong.

The middle finger has always been a show of contempt, not obscenity. "Woman middle finger Trump" - that's actually funny.

In reply to ProWI

That wound is self inflicted.

If she were my relative, I would disown her.

I have seen supposedly smart people post and say the most appalling stuff on SM.
It is as if they want to get disciplined. One guy went after his union

This is the same thing Darren Bravo got into trouble for

Facebook seems to be an immature forum

In reply to JahJah

I find it interesting that there is no retort to Jah Jah posting that is copied here – why, it does not serve your inclination?--- Drapser? -- Nitro?

In reply to birdseye

So, because that woman in the Michelle Obama incident was re-appointed to her post, this woman should feel free to give the president (whomever he is) the finger and follow it up by making the image her 'avatar' on social media?

I know that I wouldn't be doing it.

In reply to djdrastic

Exactly.

The stupid decisions people make never cease to amaze me.

In reply to black

Well said

Haha! Its funny to see some a unnoo twisting unnoo self like a pretzel given the complete reversal of thought on matters not related to WI Cricket.

In reply to Drapsey

I am questioning the disparity in response by you and nitro to reasonably similar offences against Michelle and Trump ---- not what the offenders respective employers did

In reply to birdseye

Now I take offence to your grouping me with nitro where matters of Trump are concerned.

I think that giving the president the finger is categorically out of order.

I said that I think so.

In reply to Drapsey

.

Not only that, employers react differently, one my see it a reason to be fired, others might not. Anyway, when people do these things, they should not be surprised how others react.

In reply to Drapsey

Oh shit --- sorry----


but calling Michelle Obama "an ugly black bitch" is totally within bounds?

In reply to birdseye

Birdman, my response here is all out of respect for you.

No, the homan was out of bounds, to phrase things mildly.

However, because the double standards allowed her to get away with it does not mean that you (the finger woman) will be similarly lucky (or blessed as some would say). Moreover, giving the president the finger is unbecoming of anyone. My opinion anyway.
