"As for Briskman, she told multiple news outlets that, if given the chance, she would do it all again." 

Here's a woman who's just too stupid to live.

First, she gets herself fired for embarrassing Akima by disrespecting the President of the United States - who funds Akima - and childishly bragging about it on Facebook and Twitter.

THEN, she compounds her problem by going national with the news that if she gets the chance, she'll do it again!!!

Good luck finding another job, you loser! How does it feel to have self-inflicted gunshot wounds in BOTH of your feet??? ROTFLMAO...

Woman Fired for Flipping Off Trump's Motorcade
A picture of the woman's obscene gesture toward the president went viral.

By Megan Trimble, Associate Editor, Social Media
US News


TOPSHOT -
A woman on a bike gestures with her middle finger as a motorcade with US President Donald Trump departs Trump National Golf Course October 28, 2017 in Sterling, Virginia.

Juli Briskman says a flippant gesture aimed at the president cost her her job.

It was Briskman who recently threw a defiant middle finger in the air as President Donald Trump's motorcade passed in what quickly became a viral photo. The Huffington Post reported that Briskman's employer, government contractor Akima LLC, cut ties with the 50-year-old mother of two for violating the company's social media policy.

Briskman told Huffington Post that she notified Akima's human resources department about the incident, once she realized the attention the photo was drawing. The next day her bosses informed her she had broken the company's social media policy for posting the photo as her profile picture on Twitter and Facebook.

"They said, 'We're separating from you,'" Briskman told Huffington Post. "Basically, you cannot have 'lewd' or 'obscene' things in your social media. So they were calling flipping him off 'obscene.'"

The picture first surfaced after a photographer traveling with the president as he left his golf course in Sterling, Virginia, captured the incident, and the moment was also mentioned in a White House pool report. News outlets wrote about the story, and people used a hashtag, #Her2020, to discuss Briskman's apparent protest. Online discussion about Briskman's gesture continued over Twitter on Monday as news spread of her firing.

Briskman told multiple news outlets that her gesture had been a reflex and that she hadn't expected to be photographed. In fact, she motioned her middle finger toward the motorcade more than once.

"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."

Briskman told The Washington Post that she has since contacted the American Civil Liberties Union about her case. Virginia, however, is an employment-at-will state, meaning employers can dismiss employees for any reason and without warning, so the potential strength of her case is unclear.

As for Briskman, she told multiple news outlets that, if given the chance, she would do it all again.
