Jury awards $100,000 to Kentucky couple denied marriage license by ex-County Clerk Kim Davis

Is she a great big fat person?

Cheers to the couple. Suck it, Kim Davis.

It wasn't clear to me who would be responsible for paying the damages? Kimmy herself, or the county of residence or the State of Kentucky.

I saw Redditors earlier bitching that she should be paying for the damages personally, not the county, which at the time told her to do her job. So I assume it's not coming out of her pocket, sadly.

Maybe the county should sue her for the damage they cause them. If she was found guilty, then it should be a slam dunk.

I hope the judge stapled a copy of the verdict to her forehead. There’s still be room on it for next Sunday’s hymn schedule as well as a copy of the cafeteria’s weekly menu.

I assume that’s where she’s working now… some church’s lunch lady.

I can't find any mention of her working now. She's probably just a housewife.

Why?

The start of Randy Rainbow.

r8 Because they intentionally sought her out to try and get her to issue a marriage licence after it had already become publicly known that she had denied the original gay couple's licence. I admit this setup does kinda make sense because otherwise you could get a horde of ambulance chasers who'd hope to score damages fully knowing something is already being adjudicated.

Isn't Kim Davis making her career now going around decrying same-sex marriages. I recall reading an article a few years ago she was somewhere in Europe making public appearance to speak against same sex marriage.

She got her fifteen minutes when she got released from jail in September 2015 and Mike Huckabee came to her little rally. Ted Cruz also met with her later that day. However, Trump – campaigning for president at the time – said at his rally that same week that while she shouldn't have been jailed, gay marriage was the law of the land. That pretty much sealed her fate.

Liberty Counsel paid for her trip to Romania in 2017 to campaign for a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage. A referendum was held next year with 93% voting for the ban and 6% against, but it ultimately failed because the turnout was 27%.

I heard last week she's now fundraising online to cover for these damages and it's not going anywhere. It's over for her because she's faded from everyone's memory and she has no viable political future either. Unusable hick trash that can't be moulded into a D.C. star like MTG for reasons well known to her, but mostly because of her looks.

Yeah R12 Looks are important for famous right wingers.

Her weird habit of wearing 2 or 3 cheap thin cotton tees is a choice.

It'll be appealed to the Supreme Court. Sam, Clarence, Amy, and the rest of the right wing loons don't like queers and they'll rule in Kim's favor.

Chief Justice Roberts wouldn't hear it two years ago and he's not going to hear it now.

The Supreme Court isn't going to concern itself with something as trivial as damages by a county clerk who lost her case, don't make me laugh.

“They don’t need to be married, they go ‘round anyways!”

Girl needs to pay up. Maybe she can pray for the money.

Pay up.

R20 THAT’S RIGHT

r19 Damn, so she cumulatively owes $360k at this point. It'll obviously get appealed, but I'm looking forward to the epilogue.

For some reason the Baptist church made inroads in Romania. I taught ESL in in Chicago in the mid - late '90s . Surprisingly, quite a few students were Baptists.

[quote]For some reason the Baptist church made inroads in Romania.

It hasn't been all that successful since Protestantism today accounts for fewer than 6% of religious folk in Romania. Orthodox Christianity is extremely entrenched with a high degree of public trust and so Romania is the only European country today that isn't secularising rapidly.

But yes, this was a phenomenon in Eastern and Central Europe in the '90s – along with Mormonism and the Jehovah's who also made some inroads at the time – because the people there (here) after the fall of communism wanted to latch on to American success story by any means possible, including through those missionaries. This has all unravelled relatively recently after these countries entered the EU and became economic engines in their own right (Romania's economy in particular is roaring these days), plus thanks to the internet we can all readily see the rot and the poverty in the US in all its glory, so these cultural imports became less desirable.
