Woman Fired For Flipping Off Trump’s Motorcade Receives 453,673 Job Offers

Juli Briskman, the 50-year-old mother of two who cycled her way into America’s heart, won’t be out of work for long

A photo of the incident, taken by a press pool photographer riding in the caravan of black SUVs, went viral the next day, making Ms. Briskman an overnight Internet sensation. But it also cost the 50-year-old marketing executive her job at Akima LLC, a U.S. government contracting firm.
No worries. A week after giving the president the finger and finding herself out of work, Ms. Briskman has now received 453,678 job offers (and counting) from employers large and small, from every state in the union.

Apparently, GoFundMe donors have given her big money, so far. That's how loathed the Trumpatola really is.

So what is the rule about taxation on gofund me earnings? Government gets its cut?

Curious if she has accepted any of those thousands of job offers yet. If not, it may indicate how serious some of them were.

Since she did not initiate the fund, did not solicit money, and has not rendered any service for the $, it does not constitute taxable income. Note that anyone who gives more than the gift tax exemption amount ($14,000) will have to file IRS tax form 709 and may possibly have to pay a gift tax. The states may have individual mandates on this but I don't know that for a fact.

That gal should auction off her bicycle as well. She's become quite the Pop Culture starlet. I bet somebody would pick it up for a pretty penny.

I think the word is "whammy", Dummy! If you want to converse with the Adults, learn some English!

I think there's a reason I put the word in quotations.

Is there a particular reason you insist on coming here and making a fool of yourself?
