Bicyclist who flipped Donald Trump's motorcade the bird has been fired.

Remember this woman?

Remember how much we all admired her?

Yeah, well she lost her damn job:

The woman’s name is Juli Briskman. Her employer, government contractor Akima LLC, wasn’t so happy about the photo. They fired her over it. 

In a Saturday interview with HuffPost, Briskman, a 50-year-old mother of two, said she was stunned that someone had taken a picture of her giving Trump the middle finger. 

As the photo circulated online, Briskman decided to tell Akima’s HR department what was happening when she went to work on Monday. By Tuesday, her bosses called her into a meeting and said she had violated the company’s social media policy by using the photo as her profile picture on Twitter and Facebook. 

“They said, ‘We’re separating from you,‘” said Briskman. “Basically, you cannot have ‘lewd’ or ‘obscene’ things in your social media. So they were calling flipping him off ‘obscene.’” 

Briskman, who worked in marketing and communications at Akima for just over six months, said she emphasized to the executives that she wasn’t on the job when the incident happened and that her social media pages don’t mention her employer. They told her that because Akima was a government contractor, the photo could hurt their business, she said.

Well that is just fucked up.

Here this woman expressed the emotions felt by the vast majority of the American people in this country, and she gets canned?

Don't you feel that Donald Trump is behind this, cause I certainly do. 

Well here's my prediction.

I bet money that there are company executives who are reading about this woman's situation right now, and I bet in the next several days she will have a different job, with better pay, and a more secure future.

After all this is still America isn't it?

If our rights to freely express ourselves and to protest authoritarianism are no longer valid, then Donald Trump and his deplorables truly have won haven't they?
