Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

“I never thought they’d lock HIM up,” sobbed a distraught member of the Lock Her Up Party.

This country desperately needs a functioning Fourth Estate.

I conferred with the team and they all agree – still not tired of winning!

I’m just a talker, trying to find a channel!

Battle won, war still ongoing.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Can we lighten up on the doomsday scenarios?

Republicans can’t even be trusted with their own money.

People are weird.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

An unpunished coup is a training exercise.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Bad news for Ron DeSantis is great news for America.

Chutkan laughs. Lauro sits back down.

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

Kidnapper a Blogger

Richard Bennett points to this story, showing that the Idaho kidnapper was a blogger:

Convicted sex offender Joseph Edward Duncan III spent months on the Internet documenting his internal struggle over right vs. wrong. Then, four days before two Idaho children he is accused of kidnapping disappeared, he wrote: “The demons have taken over.”

It was one of the last entries in Duncan’s Weblog before the 42-year-old North Dakota man was arrested and charged this week with two kidnapping counts. Authorities believe he took 9-year-old Dylan Groene and 8-year-old Shasta Groene from their Idaho home shortly before their 13-year-old brother, mother and her boyfriend were bludgeoned to death May 16. Police say Duncan also is a suspect in the killings.

Richard also points us to the actual blog, which has this final post:

My blog entries lately are erratic and full of a lot of B.S., for that I apologize. I am just trying to put down what is in my head, regardless. As far as “taking people with me” well, I don’t know if that is right or wrong. In fact, I don’t know much any more what right and wrong even is. My view is either everything is right (in some regard) or everything is wrong (in some other regard). The question (one I am struggling with at this point) is, “Does it matter?”
Does anything matter? My mother is crying right now, because her son is in trouble again. She tried to raise a good son, and she knows her son has a good heart, so why does he do these things? She is probably more hurt and confused than me. Does it matter? It hurts me to know these things, but DOES IT MATTER???

Pretty scary. I wonder who will be the first member of the elites or the MSM who will use this blog as definitive proof of the deviant nature and nefarious deeds of all bloggers? Smart money is on James Walcott. Better yet, which blogger will be the first to try to decide the political affiliation of the kidnapping pervert and use that as prrof of the evilness of said party?
