Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

An unpunished coup is a training exercise.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

No one could have predicted…

Books are my comfort food!

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Everyone is in a bubble, but some bubbles model reality far better than others!

Nikki Haley, who can’t acknowledge ‘slavery’, is a pathetic shill.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Bogus polls are all they’ve got left. Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls a year from now.

If you are in line to indict donald trump, stay in line.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

If West Virginia and San Francisco had a love child.

Orange looks good on him:

kincannon

The former executive director of the South Carolina Republican Party was arrested Monday on a criminal domestic violence charge.

James John Todd Kincannon, 33, was booked into the Lexington County Detention Center Monday evening.

An arrest warrant alleges that Kincannon’s wife, stated to deputies that she was involved in an altercation on March 26 with Kincannon, who became angry at her after they left an event, Lexington County Sheriff Lewis McCarty said.

While Kincannon drove a motor vehicle on St. Andrews Road and Harbison Boulevard near Irmo, the victim stated to deputies that Kincannon yelled at her, including the use of profanity, McCarty said.

McCarty said the victim told deputies that she lowered her window and yelled at passing motorists to help her while she pleaded with Kincannon to stop the vehicle.

The arrest warrant further alleges that Griffith stated to deputies that Kincannon began driving the motor vehicle erratically and avoiding traffic lights while driving at a high rate of speed, McCarty said.

Asshole.

    I read another story about this that said that the wife had recorded hours of abuse. Hopefully he’s not going to recover from this one.

    I can only imagine how well he’ll get along with others in prison.

    It’s well past the time that this jerk received some of what he’s been dishing out to others. Why his wife put up with his BS for so long is beyond my ability to understand. The minute he left for work one day, I’d have been gone, never to return.

    I am confused. He is White. He is a Republican. He is probably financially well off. And they have arrested him because his woman got hysterical? I am just struggling to understand how this can have happened in contemporary America. This sort of thing just doesn’t happen to someone who is of the Holy Trinity: White; Republican; Rich.

    @efgoldman: So would most of us – but I think the abuse run’s deeper here; still, I guess people with cell phones called the police when they saw a woman calling for help from the car. Wouldn’t you? He had no right to drive like a nutcase endangering her, others and himself. Amazed too, like others, that a white, rich, male and right-wing nutcase can be arrested in the too big to be an insane asylum called South Carolina … wait, I bet he told the cop off.

    @efgoldman:
    From the article

    Griffith told deputies that she tried to exit the vehicle in the parking lot, and Kincannon grabbed Griffith’s arm in order to prevent her from exiting the vehicle.

    At that point, according to the incident report, Griffith began to hit Kincannon until he sped up the car in an effort to prevent her from leaving the vehicle. The report continues, and says Griffith then dialed 911 so the dispatcher could hear Kincannon. A short time later, the report says, Kincannon saw a patrol car and “freaked out.” Kincannon then told Griffith that he would drive their car into a concrete barrier if the police got involved, the report says.
