Is there any actual employment law in the US!? The President wants her fired so she was!?

PigsWeGetWhatPigsDeserve
Wow! That was brisk, man.
AwesomeTeddybear
Glorious! And fuck you Trump!
Flavonoidz
That's outstanding, I would have voted for her.

The ULTIMATE finger.

I hope she knows there's some land in her county just begging for some environmentally friendly re-forestation

Trump would have no idea how to be in power if his daddy didn't give it to him via money.

You sound much smarter than you are. I'm glad you're pro-choice.

I wanna hear more about the spineless company that fired her just for flipping the bird whilst not at work.

This wouldnt have happened if the US had basic employment rights, “employer saying she had violated their social media policy.”

Free speech includes nonverbal language, too.
sgnimj96
"Liberals" think free speech should be regulated by the government now because everybody hates them for ruining everything.
LisaSimps0nsDr3aM
No, just racist fascists outbursts as there is no value in their existence
ShadeEmberi
"saying she had violated their social media policy." no she didnt.

Too many

If society cared enough about what you thought, you'd be rich too.
HeroesAndBosses
He's rich because his father left him a fortune, but I understand what you mean.
Gryphonosiris
I'm betting in the near future with his loans about to default, he won't be owning any.
yallmfsneedjesus
Um. Thats a direct violation of her 1st Amendment rights. By the president of all people. How was there no lawsuit here?
PieMasterOfTheRealm
Justice is a hammer to keep poor people in line and a way to give rich people the arm to swing it.
Nefel
It's unlikely he personally got her fired - it's more likely her employer (government contractor) feared reprisal if they didn't do it.
badatediting
Have you SEEN what they have been getting away with lately?
Ghlargh
What does "Trump National Golf Club" even mean? The official golf club of the Trump nation? Or a golf club that's entirely inside a nation?
LisaSimps0nsDr3aM
I admit you have a point here ...
Pinewood74
A golf club that's "National" (meaning has members nationwide as opposed to "regional" or "city") and owned/branded by Trump.
RenaissanceFaireMan
You'd think all that makeup would give him a thicker skin.
abbie30000
Right? Farts I really forget about his makeup while I was distracted with his assinine behaviour.
abbie30000
But really what a psycho pasting orange makeup on himself everyday.
Spaceqowboy
How exactly does it work legally? I mean, was she employed by government? Even then, how?
RespondsOnlyWithFacts
Fired from government contractor Akima LLC for using the left photo as a profile on FB and Twitter. VA has at-will employment. 1/2
RespondsOnlyWithFacts
I couldn't find any evidence that Trump was ever personally involved. 2/2
VitusApollo
Thanks for the facts. Its annoying when these stories are made up, he made enough true mistakes as is, why prove that fake news was real too
CoffeeDonutsAndCherryPie
Imagine having such a fragile ego that a middle finger hurts your feelings
sgnimj96
That is just a waste of your imagination. Never forget, the people that control you do that by suppression of your imagination.
sgnimj96
HAHAHA - do you hear yourself? "Liberal" whines, tears, and crying about feelings is the ONLY way they can get ahead in life.
ballsoutflyer
Why don't you run back to your safe space and cry that your little bitch grifter has his election stolen some more. We won. Suck it.

"freedom of speech"
WarlockSniper
Only if you are a Republican. Trump is the only president that broke the Constitution numerous times, but the 1A is the worst of them all.

Freedom of Speech is freedom from *governmental* interference in your speech. The *President* getting you fired from your job for your 1/?
leperoutcastunclean
*political speech* (which is what flipping a President off is) is a violation of the First Amendment. 2/2
yallmfsneedjesus
In the private sector sure. But it ensures no repercussions from the government. If Trump demanded she was fired then that is a direct..
yallmfsneedjesus
..violation. I am confused as to how there is nonlawsuit here. Unless this is untrue.
Nefel
The decision to fire her came from her employer (who was a government contractor, but not technically government), probably fearing reprisal
Nefel
She did attempt to fight it but her claim was not upheld in court because Virginia's at-will employment laws do not cover free speech.

This isn't Karma. I hate how that term keeps being used. This is justice, and she had to work damn hard to get it. It's all HER, not karma
staceyjorgenson31415
I didn’t have a relevant me me that said that. +1

I feel like gloating about someone's comeuppance goes against the spirit of karma.

I still need to read the books, but I read they botched this scene, she's not supposted to react negatively AT ALL she when she pitched back
Soufange
-at that one point she would have failed immediately. Also they forgot to flavor the gelatin she was eating. She HATED this scene.

He existed, I'm from the UK and even I hate him the man was the worst thing to happen to America since the pilgrims.

Don't throw the arrow which can return against you.

Is it revenge when she started it?

When revenge is on the table, you can have revenge anytime.

As long as it gets served now.

It will not, this fucker has a pact with the devil. How this POS can avoid karma since forever is a real puzzle to me

Vengeance. It's delicious. It should take something fairly horrid to warrant, but when warranted it's extremely satisfying.

White supremacist should be designated domestic terrorist and all assets should then be seized. No more golf for orangie
BlueDuckPale
I feel, Trumo has enough golf for that golf to be redistributed amongst others.

rooik14
There is no mechanism to label any group a domestic terrorist group nor do we need to do so to disrupt them. It'd just give undue power 1/2
rooik14
2/2 to a government that shows it wouldn't wield that power responsibly. So many advocacy groups would be labeled domestic terrorist groups.
RamosIsANerd
How can he be called a white supremacist when he's orange? We don't want him.
holymc
The orange supremacist?
RamosIsANerd
By we I just meant white people.
WarlockSniper
Well, that is correct. Proper white folks who are NOT white supremacists, fascists and racists definitely don't want this fuckwit. Can we
WarlockSniper
declare he is an Oompa Loompa instead?
BlueDuckPale
No that would be devastating to the oompa loompa community and may have an adverse effect on sweet production
MisterSunny
Reportedly she didn't use her status as the Trump flipper during her campaign, nice to see a politician with some maturity, good for her.
witheredspoon
Actually She did. I saw it on her website and it pleased me. I voted for her!
countbassy
Republicans will probably try to have her removed
Andersen81
Yes, never sink to their level of shitposing.
R3ADER
But was it mature to flip him off tho..
Grizy
Yeah
captainhappen
you can't see it but I'm flipping you off right now
darkusblack
He deserved it
Ophiukus
Your opinions are trash and you should feel like trash.
Iamyourcaptainnow
After everything he did? I think it's quite tame to just flip him the finger.
ItKeepsIntensifying
It's emature* and initial report (not this one though) said she was annoyed with the car's driving, not respecting her as a biker and all
ItKeepsIntensifying
This article paints her using the finger to protest against trump but I'd think that is politics, not truth. But good on her ? never giveup
sunfield
Maybe not, but I don't think it should've been a fireable offense. She didn't do it at work, she did it as a private person.
SirReginaldFeatherbottomIII
And then used that image as her profile picture on Facebook and Twitter. That’s why she was fired.
TheatreStreet
The middle finger is protected under the first amendment. Legally a cop cannot punish you for giving them the finger.... something something
TheatreStreet
Police accountability
onepinksheep
Police accountability? In America?
elletee
She flipped him off as a private citizen. I don’t swear at work, but I sure as hell do at home.
SirReginaldFeatherbottomIII
She used that image for her Facebook and Twitter. Do you have a social media policy where you work? Immature?-idk. Shortsighted?-yup
eStroJen28
Apparently not shortsighted enough to win her election.
WorkerLurker
Imposing rules off hours on freedom of expression sounds like private government.
SirReginaldFeatherbottomIII
You don’t work in the US do you? I can be fired for any reason that isn’t discrimination. Including social media posts.
onepinksheep
Yes. There are some things in life that are the right and moral thing to do, and that includes punching a Nazi or flipping off a Trump.
CameForNatalieDormer
What is the actual purpose of Nazi punching? I get that it feels good but don't you just solidify their anger and persecution complex?
Chimichanga007
N00k
It's to punch Nazis, what more do you need?
HasteTheFool
Angering and fueling nazi persecution complexes are moral imperatives.
CameForNatalieDormer
They're also a good way to force them deeper down a violent rabbit hole.
GodofBacon
The purpose of punching Nazis is simply to punch Nazis. No need to over think anything. Fuck Nazis.
CameForNatalieDormer
But... that doesn't solve anything. It makes you feel better and makes them feel justified. =/

So cathartic
Arkturus
Trump personaly ensures she gets fired and sees nothing wrong with that. And when it happens to Reps or him they cry cancel culture.
KingKelloggTheWaffleHaggler
Do we have a source where it proves that he did?
TheOtherTruth
No, but she was working for a government contractor and I believe they were worried he would.
WarlockSniper
It broke the 1A, freedom of speech *without repercussions from the government*. He abused his position as president.
UsernameMayBeSubjectToChange
He is also incredibly childish and thin-skinned but can dole out abuse with the best
WarlockSniper
He got in a fight on Twitter with a 16 year old. And lost.
BeardedViking
I mean.... when didn't he?
WarlockSniper
Point well made.
TheatreStreet
Lock him up!
ottman001
How unexpected.
WarlockSniper
I was shocked I tell you. Shocked! Well not that shocked.
ballsoutflyer
one of like... ten billion times.
WarlockSniper
Correct, but breaking the First Amendment, which is literally the first rule you've sworn to uphold, has a special place, doesn't it?
ballsoutflyer
For everyone else, yeah. For him, it's a tuesday.
WarlockSniper
Just shows how far the GOP has fallen, considering they still prop this fuckwit up.
