She’ll just get crowdfunding money from Republicans (white domestic terrorists).
I mean, either way it's a win. If she gets $2 each from a shitload of right wing fuckheads, that means we made ~50,000 right wing fuckheads pay to support gay marriage.
That’s 50,000 people paying for the attempt at preventing gay marriage, not in support of it.
Paying for a failed attempt. So it's kind of impotence squared if it happens.
That's $100,000 that won't get to those people unless somebody else raises it because I doubt very seriously Kim Davis has $100,000.
Recognizing that these bios mean next to nothing, a quick google suggests her net worth could be in the tens of millions.
The grift (potentially) pays well.
If only we could collect their names and tell everyone about how they feel!
That's fine, victims get their money and some dumb cunt in Ohio is a little bit poorer. Sounds like a win-win to me.
Sounds like socialism to me
I get the joke but to be clear, handouts are not a problem for these folks, so long as the Jesus Strings are fully attached.
Everyone has the right to follow their religion. If Big Kim didn't want to disobey her God, she is allowed to: by resigning her position in protest and joining a monastery.
I believe "Get thee to a nunnery." might be appropriate.
So judge David B ruled Kim Davis had to pay David E and David M 50k each. .
I was not aware there were so many Dave's involved.
These are the Daves that I know I know, these are the Daves I know. Some of them go by David but most of them just go by Dave. They all have different hands but come from different moms
I have this song on my phone so I can listen to it whenever I please!
Dave’s not here…
I've said it before, if your religion is preventing you form doing your job, either change you religion or change your job.
Eight year legal battle and a payout you'll never see. Seems fair.
I was just thinking: this woman doesn't have 100k. Lol.
She's going to start a GoFundMe and get like $500k and walk away wealthy. I hate how fucked up our society is.
$400K isn't "wealthy" by any calculation. It's not nothing, but it's not enough to live on. Unless your expenses are like $16K per year.
Give me 400k right now and I'll buy a house and live forever on fuck all because I'm safe and secure in my own home. That means so much, owning your home is wealth.
Getting $400k in one go absolutely makes you wealthy. This isn't $400k over a lifetime.
Kentucky is also a fairly low cost of living state which is something to factor in too.
My husband and I combined make waaaaaaay the hell less than 400k a year and we aren't rich but I'd say we live fairly comfortably here.
Is that legal? I know you're not allowed to fundraise off your crimes, does that also apply to civil cases?
Be a joke; go broke
Thoughts and prayers.
aaaaahahahahahahaha that bitch can get fucked for all hundred k of it.
Finally some good news. Still amazed it's taken this long to get a resolution
US district judge David Bunning said that Davis “cannot use her own constitutional rights as a shield to violate the constitutional rights of others while performing her duties as an elected official”.
[…]
During this week’s trial, Davis argued that she was protected from litigation due to qualified immunity, a doctrine that protects government officials from lawsuits accusing them of violating someone’s constitutional rights.
"I shouldn't have to do this thing because of my beliefs."
"I shouldn't be guilty because I was acting on behalf of the government."
Pretty big valley between these two arguments. Roast this fucking turd.
"Good Christian" Adulterer Kim Davis conceived twins with her lover while married to another man.
“If a man commits adultery with another man’s wife—with the wife of his neighbor—both the adulterer and the adulteress are to be put to death” (Leviticus 20:10)
Yet another example of an evangelical conservative expecting to be protected by laws but not bound by them, while everyone else is to be bound by laws but not protected by them.
For abusing authority she doesn't have. Save up Kim,
Davis went far out of her way to screw over some people. Bigotry has costs.
No way this red has that money
GAAAAH!!! MY EYES!!! I'd forgotten how ugly that woman is, inside and out!
Does she still wear her homemade birth control dresses?
FAFO
I guess no immunity for her?
Should been police!
Uplifting news!
She might have to sell one of her Trump-rally powerboats or something
🦀🦀🦀
Is this Kyle Rittenhouses wife?
Fucked around…
Nelson: "Ha ha!"
Lol
She looks like a gross pig
