Enigma said...: I take this stuff for granted after the Trump 45 term through Biden kangaroo court impeachment. Recall the fake severed head, pussy hats, mock assassinations, and giant blow-up baby Trump. Recall "Joe Biden's" numerous autopen pardons after years of denial, bullying, coercion, and spreading misinformation.

Trump wants people to conclude that every Democrat Party action is a silly joke not to be taken seriously. While crude as always, he has a point.; 9/30/25, 5:06 AM

And I don't believe there is any malice or underlying racism in Trump's post.; 9/30/25, 5:24 AM

Humperdink said...: Some people may find Trump’s amusing cartoons distasteful, coming from the president. What’s more disturbing to me are leading politicians dropping the F-bomb, the latest being former house speaker Pelosi uttering one yesterday. Classless.; 9/30/25, 5:29 AM
rhhardin said...: How does the f-bomb work exactly? It never refers to actual fucking. It makes a convenience of grammar to color the whole expression in which it occurs, without any reference.; 9/30/25, 5:34 AM

Mike (MJB Wolf) said...: I'll take a president who trolls the foolish leaders of the opposition over the last one any day. You really have to be retarded to think armed 4am raids on your opponents are preferable to silly memes that provoke laughter at your opponents. This is also reflected in the VA gubernatorial campaign where the Deep State spook Spanberger is furiously attempting to disavow her earlier record screaming uncontrollably about how rage against Trump animates her and how she wishes ALL voters would be as enraged as she is and to attack attack attack while also pretending her staff saying her opponent Sears "can't use our white drinking fountain"is just a joke. Or a defense of trantifa. It's difficult to understand Spamburger through all her flying spittle.; 9/30/25, 6:08 AM
Kakistocracy said...: Government shutdown, farmers needing to be bailed out (again), troops in the streets, Country bitterly divided, revolving door of appointees, Putin getting coddled, constant chaos … must be another Trump term.

If Trump would just release the damn Epstein files he wouldn’t have to shut down the government to distract from them.; 9/30/25, 6:11 AM

Shouting Thomas said...: Surprised that Althouse hasn’t covered the Ian Roberts’ story. Illegal superintended of Des Moines Public Schools, registered to vote in Maryland since 2012. This pretty much blasts the DNC’s slogan that “illegals voting isn’t happening because it’s illegal.” Yeah, it’s happening. DMVs are enrolling illegals to vote without vetting them for citizenship. Trump is pointing out something obvious here. The DNC has become a tool of the cartels.; 9/30/25, 6:47 AM

Breezy said...: This shutdown theatre is so bizarre. The House is trying to get back to the Regular Order budgeting process. It’s been a long time coming. That budget process will enable debate on things like healthcare spending. The House needs just a few weeks to finish the job, but the Dems don’t want regular order. They want to govern by shutdown, not debate, because they know their position on funding healthcare for illegals is a loser position.

If Hakeem is advocating for illegals over citizens, he deserves the mockery.; 9/30/25, 7:04 AM

I'll just die. I don't want to be a burden after six long years. We wear scratched-up glasses, mine from high school. Can't afford new ones.

All thanks to lazy people, government mandarins, and illegals, who pay nothing. And their fetishists. Thanks, people who made sure their bennies we pay for weren't affected! You know I'm talking to you.; 9/30/25, 7:47 AM

Donald J. Trump, doing the job that late night comics refuse to do.

This is a brilliant post.

It is interesting that Ann whines about Trump posting this and not about the need for Trump to post this.

Have you ever thought about how this system currently in place insulates the left from criticism Ann?

I wouldn’t expect NYTs readers to think about this very deeply.; 9/30/25, 8:09 AM
Kakistocracy said...: Sure it’s tough to find a new job or afford a home or pay for groceries, but Trump has doubled his net worth since taking office by profiting off the presidency. In face — he’s made more money as president than he did as a “businessman”.

Aggie said...: As others have noted, insurance costs have more than quadrupled while coverage has been stripped. One now has to wait, even with injuries that need treating. Some specialists, the waiting time is 5 - 6 months out (personal experience, not hearsay). Now do Medicare: If you have Medicare coverage, and want to supplement it to resemble sometime like real health care coverage, your out-of-pocket premiums for monthly coverage start to look a lot like something from the 'Affordable' Care Act. Reform should start with transparency in billing, and proceed swiftly to removing the excessive administration associated with the ACA, like having doctors pounding away at laptops, entering data into forms while they bark questions at the patient instead of treating them.; 9/30/25, 8:31 AM

Big Mike said...: Are you complaining, Althouse? I thought you liked Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals. Especially numbers 5 and 6:

"Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. There is no defense. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage."

"A good tactic is one your people enjoy."

Or is it that Republicans are supposed to be above using your beloved Democrats’ tactics against them?; 9/30/25, 8:43 AM
Mike (MJB Wolf) said...: Ever since Obamacare was "deemed passed" by Nancy Pelosi in a travesty of a mockery of a "democratic" process, the Democrats have owned Health Care as an issue. They own the burden of $35,000 added to the typical family's medical budget. They own the complete loss of trust in Public Health after their COVID lawlessness and death. They own vaccine skepticism because their HHS "policies" caused it.

And now, after years of ruining the health care system and overburdening the people and providers with regulation, NOW they will throw a tantrum and shut down the government in order to keep the freebies to illegals going.

If Donald Trump was secretly directing every move of Chuck Schumer and the Ds even that could not BE any more advantageous to the president than what the donkey party has done.; 9/30/25, 8:43 AM
Mike (MJB Wolf) said...: Why didn't Biden make those changes permanent?; 9/30/25, 8:44 AM
Shouting Thomas said...: Grok’s answer to Kak’s accusations: False. The claim misrepresents Donald Trump's net worth and earnings during his first presidency (2017–2021). Forbes estimated his wealth at about $4.5 billion in early 2016 before he took office, but it declined to $3.1 billion by 2019 and $2.3 billion by 2021 due to factors like the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on his hotels and golf courses. Bloomberg's analysis confirmed a $700 million drop over that period, making him the only U.S. president to lose money in office.

While Trump's businesses generated over $2.4 billion in revenue from 2017 to 2020 (e.g., $650 million annually in the first three years, dropping to $450 million in 2020), his personal net worth fell, not rose. He reported $1.6 billion in outside income on disclosures, including up to $160 million from foreign sources like Saudi Arabia and China via hotels and golf courses, raising ethics concerns—but this didn't translate to net worth growth and was far less than his pre-presidency business years, where his wealth peaked higher without political leverage.

The "doubling" and "more money as president" parts likely confuse his first term with his second (starting 2025), where his net worth has surged to $5–7 billion from crypto, Truth Social, and Gulf deals, adding $3 billion in the past year alone. But the original post, from an Althouse commenter, targeted his initial term.“; 9/30/25, 9:21 AM
Not Illinois Resident said...: Even Kohler golf empire has now been tainted by migrant-criminal fiasco of Biden administration. A Kohler guest was murdered last week, midnight drive-by shooting (!!) in tiny Sheboygan Falls downtown.

The media is so deep in the pocket of Progressives that they assume themselves to be above and beyond the reach of any satire, and are shocked and dismayed when they are brought back to earth.

Kakistocracy said...: Republicans control all three branches of government right now. Under normal conditions, it would be easier for Democrats to cut a deal in the minority position. But given the lawlessness of this administration and the way it is handling money right now, and politically motivated prosecutions, along with Trump's threats of further retribution, Trump is providing the Democrats with an unlimited number of reasons to say "no".

If a thief comes to a house and tries to shakedown people with the intention of raising money to organize a gang to loot the entire neighborhood, the correct response is not "here is my wallet and bank account". The correct response is to protect against the thief in any way possible and to make it as difficult as possible for the thief to organize an even larger criminal gang.; 9/30/25, 1:28 PM
