There is a lot of rage in these comments, going both ways, but let me point out that the story is misleading in one important aspect:

The woman wasn't fired for flipping off the president. She was fired for *posting that photo as her Facebook cover photo* -- which you have to admit, is incredibly stupid for an employee of a government contractor, and something the company is legitimately going to have concerns about.

(PS I take no position as to how the company disciplines its *other* employees -- I don't know enough to comment)

(PPS I despise Trump)
