I came across this comment. Coal Gang gonna get full soon!

I'm still failing to see why Donald Trump isn't capable of doing his job just because the media is talking about him.

People that can't take personal responsibility are ******* deplorable.

Announcing that you plan on deleting old tweets definitely won't cause people to save/screenshot them.

They really don't understand how the internet internets

Honestly wouldn't be surprised if he'd veto it. It would be rather unlikely and astronomically stupid but that's nothing new.

Just some good old biblethumping

Taxpayers in Kentucky must pay more than $220,000 in attorney fees for the couples who sued Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis for refusing to issue marriage licenses to avoid having to give them to same-sex couples.

In July 2015, four couples — two same-sex and two opposite-sex — represented by the American Civil Liberties Union filed suit against Davis.

"Davis represented the Commonwealth of Kentucky when she refused to issue marriage licenses to legally eligible couples. The buck stops there," U.S. District Judge David Bunning wrote Friday.
Bunning said the county and Davis herself were not responsible for paying the $222,695 in attorneys' fees.

Kentucky Public Radio's Ryland Barton explains to our Newscast unit, "The court said the state should be held responsible because Kentucky officials had the right to take action against Davis, but didn't."

On June 26, 2015, the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage in all 50 states. But Davis, citing her religious beliefs, refused to comply, even spending a brief stint in jail for contempt of court. Bunning was the judge who ordered Davis jailed for five days.

The case grabbed national headlines. Davis met with Republican candidates for president and even with the pope.
By December 2015, Gov. Matthew Bevin orderedthat Kentucky marriage licenses need not be printed with the name of the county clerk who issued them. That appeared to settle the issue for Davis, who proceeded to issue marriage licenses without her name.

Davis' attorney says his client will appeal Friday's ruling, according to The Associated Press.

"The judge ruled Davis lost the case. Attorney Mat Staver said they did not lose. He said the case was dismissed as moot after the state legislature changed the law in 2016 to remove the names of county clerks from marriage licenses."

William Sharp, legal director of the ACLU of Kentucky, said in a statement, "We are pleased with today's ruling, and we hope this serves as a reminder to Kentucky officials that willful violations of individuals' civil liberties, such as what occurred here, will not only be challenged but will also prove costly."

The Lexington Herald-Leader reports that the state has not decided whether it will appeal.

I don't think he gets what being transparent means either. At least we know definitively that he's a hypocrite.

Some people may call us weird but LIBBIE Smugflakes with their KALE juice and lattes don't know anything about COAL. Look, if I wanted healthcare I would've saved the 6 months of salary. Obviously I want to acquire the black lung so it is what it is. Democrats and their obstructionism is limiting the things MY PRESIDENT AND HUD SECRETARY can do. No jokes here just FAX UPON FAX MACHINE UPON FACSIMILE B. Drop Mic.

The Bigot now has a 50% approval rating.......in Arkansas.

In the now-reliably red state of Arkansas, President Donald Trump’s job approval rating is taking a hit.

According to the latest Talk Business & Politics-Hendrix College survey, the nation’s chief executive has gone from a 60%-35% job approval-disapproval rating in February to just 50-47% in July. In April, Trump had a 53%-39% approval rating.

The Bigot got 60% of the vote in Arkansas.

That's like the exact opposite of what Einstein would say.

That perfectly describes Evangelical Christians though.

Even if Einstein did say it, it's still a stupid thing to say, I don't care who said it.
