$121K job lost over a meme

The Kim Komando Show

Show Notes

Kathleen Tierney posted a Game of Thrones GIF as a joke on a city council Facebook page. A month later, she ended up in handcuffs for it. And lost her a six-figure job. Now, she’s suing for $3 million to prove that snark isn't a crime.

Plus, Bill Gates's ties to Jeffrey Epstein, inside Zuckerberg's $170M Florida mansion and how your gas app snitches to your insurance company.

And I talk to Sarah from Colorado. She has a drone problem. One is being flown outside her bathroom window. She's pretty sure she knows who's doing it. I give her the tools to find out.
