Peachy said...: Jon Steward - Un-funny, leftist, insufferable prick. For Democrat cultists, only.; 4/28/26, 9:51 AM
Ice Nine said...: The RFK bodyguards' job is to assure that, you know, RFK's body is guarded. Not his wife's.

And, of course, what the stupid and devious rantmaster Stewart didn't show was a couple second later in the video when one of those bodyguards turned around and literally lifted her off the stage and carried her out.; 4/28/26, 9:52 AM
Peachy said...: First - we already know that the secret service and the security at that hotel was pathetic. (Amazed they were able to capture the leftist democratic assassin at all.)

Jon Democreep is over-acting a f-ed up mocking towards the people the killer wanted to kill. This is comedy on the left.
Enjoy.; 4/28/26, 9:56 AM
Money Manger said...: Boy, that Stewart is hysterical !

i can only imagine how much more funny he would have been if Mr. Allen had been able to actually slaughter a few cabinet members. Just have them rolling in the aisles.; 4/28/26, 9:56 AM

Beth B said...: Stewart is such a talentless hack. Cheap shot after cheap shot. What a predictable bore. I like how he failed to mention that RFK Jr has already been around to witness a family assassination or two, and was in no position to wrestle off the multiple Secret Service agents hustling him out of the room. If his wife Cheryl has a problem with how that all went down, I'm sure they'll have plenty of time to discuss it later.

And are we supposed to believe Stewart's 63 year-old ass never saw an episode of Gunsmoke? A show that first ran on television until he was age thirteen, and then in reruns for fifty-plus more years? Sure, Jan... Quit trying to pretend your part of the kool kids, you dusty old fart.; 4/28/26, 10:09 AM
Ann Althouse said...: That was a very funny episode. I hope you watched to the end — for Triumph the Insult Dog — and scrolled back to the beginning too. It was like the good old days, back in the 90s.; 4/28/26, 10:09 AM
Humperdink said...: This twit did the general public a huge service. He revealed/ confirmed how large a chasm we have in this country. The pro-assassin crowd find this hilarious, while normal people view it as disgusting. There is no in between.; 4/28/26, 10:10 AM

chuck said...: I rate the threat of watching Jon Stewart as terrorism.; 4/28/26, 10:28 AM
Howard said...: Completely tone deaf derivative performance like we've seen a hundred times before from Stewart. Couldn't watch it to the end. Unfunny like they had NYU interns prompt ChatGPT to write the jokes in the style of early Daily Show.; 4/28/26, 10:31 AM
Achilles said...: Audio for the video didn’t play at the end of the video. I could think of funny stuff the dog could say but I doubt Ann would laugh at that.

I love that you people can find amusement in this. Anyone who does find amusement in this is a part of the group that shouldn’t be voting. You are unserious people.

An agent got shot. Everyone is lucky he survived.

I don’t think most of you are ready for what happens when you get shot at or shot. Ann is laughing at jokes and thinks people were too mean to Norah Odonnel. Meade is ostensibly the one that is going to be protecting you.

What the fuck is wrong with you people.; 4/28/26, 10:35 AM
Aggie said...: He was enjoying himself in exactly the way I imagined he would, given the circumstances. 'Too bad the gunman screwed up, I totally get it but hey, there's some great material here, amirite?'

This isn't well-done humor to me, it's too opportunistic. I guess Jon wasn't there. No invite, Jon? Not a journalist after all? But he showed clips of other journalists. Remember that trick? "We really saw the best of the DC Press Corps..." Validating a narrative by repeating phony news stories (then swearing out FISA warrants based on that)?; 4/28/26, 10:36 AM
Achilles said...: I don’t look forward to the day when Ann laughs at the people around her getting shot.

It is really easy to laugh when it is just some secret service agent who gets shot. It was just some blood on trumps ear right? Hahahahaha.; 4/28/26, 10:37 AM

Glad you mentioned that because I would have missed it. He's always good.

I don't judge comics by their politics, and Stewart is pretty talented. But the highlighted gag was lame. Everyone understands the Secret Service protect the officials, not their spouses.; 4/28/26, 10:56 AM
Bob Boyd said...: There must be a veritable treasure trove of active shooter video out there. Maybe there could be spinoff. They could do a whole season of shows where a wise-cracking comedian does play-by-play commentary ridiculing people as they run for their lives while shots ring out. That would be so funny.

It's interesting how differently the media treats this active shooter as compared to any others. Because that's what he is , just another nut with a gun, craving attention, fame and fleeting power.
What's really the difference between him and any school shooter or mall shooter or whatever?
I suspect the difference is, they approve of his motive and his actions.; 4/28/26, 10:58 AM

Pillage Idiot said...: Stewart's jokes are not funny, if all of his audience believes there is zero chance that a doctrinaire Democrat school teacher assassin would ever shoot the wife of a political opponent.

The fact that most of the Leftist audience was laughing means they all know a politically violent Democrat would definitely murder innocent women.; 4/28/26, 11:20 AM

John henry said...: There were some other women "reaching out"

They were reaching out for those bottles of $79 wine.

"I don't care if I may be shot, I'm gonna steal a bottle of wine."

When the have the do-over, they should forego wine on the tables. "Sorry, some pigs of presstitutes stole the wine. If you want anything other than water, the bar does accept cash or credit cards"

Then President Trump, if they have it at MAL, can stand up and tell everyone how much money HIS bar made off the presstitutes.

John Henry; 4/28/26, 12:24 PM
Joe Bar said...: I thought that was funny. I LOLed at the "Kennedys Abandoning Women" joke.

Yes, as the Babylon bee said: "'This Is A Both Sides Issue,' Says Side That Shot President Trump, Assassinated Charlie Kirk, Tried To Assassinate Kavanaugh, Tried To Shoot Trump Again, Shot Steve Scalise, Firebombed Governor Shapiro, Tried To Shoot Trump A Third Time, murdered schoolkids in Minnesota, murdered schoolchildren in Nashville, burned an elderly Jewish woman to death in Colorado, murdered a couple at the Jewish embassy in D.C., seized campus buildings and held janitors hostage, assaulted students on campus who appeared Jewish, ambushed ICE officers in Dallas and shot an officer in the neck, assassinated FBI officer David Underwood, assassinated the United Healthcare CEO, cheered the murder of over 1,200 civilians on October 7th, murdered schoolkids in Colorado in 2019, injured over 700 police offers in 2020 riots, murdered retired police captain David Dorn, murdered a 16-year-old boy in "CHAZ", burned down Minneapolis, firebombed a Washington ICE center, murdered six people in Waukesha, assassinated five Dallas officers in 2016, assassinated three police in Baton Rouge in 2016 (you know what, we're going to stop now, this is getting sad)". And that was last year... now we get to add "tried to shoot Trump a 4th time." I'm sure John Stewart and Inga are laughing at all of those acts of leftist violence.; 4/28/26, 1:39 PM
Inga said...: “I never thought mass shooters were funny. Did you?”

No. Neither I nor Althouse, nor a few others here probably think mass shooters are funny. How do you connect seeing the humor in the reactions of humans at the dinner with finding mass shooters funny? That is a strange reaction to people like myself, Althouse and others here finding Stewart’s piece funny.; 4/28/26, 1:41 PM

Inga said...: “What were they reacting to?”

Bob,
There are incidences when human reactions, even in the worst circumstances can be comical. It’s a human trait to find humor in fellow humans who are awkward at being chivalrous or brave. I’m pretty sure that if it was a Democratic president and Cabinet and the same thing happened you Trumpists would see the humor in the reactions of the Democratic president and his cabinet.; 4/28/26, 1:54 PM

All the security was focused on the diplomat and none on the wife. Apparently that's how it works in these cases. I would assume that if the diplomat was a women, she would get all the security and the husband would be relatively unguarded.; 4/28/26, 2:39 PM
Michael Fitzgerald said...: Just the fact that Democrat Party members avoid saying directly what they are laughing at indicts them. C'mon, own it, nazis. Torturing your enemies is funny. I think that's under Alinsky's rule: a good tactic is one your people enjoy.; 4/28/26, 2:49 PM
Vance said...: I note that Inga claims it's only black humor to laugh at Republicans being shot at. Funny.... I seem to recall months of indignation from her when Rittenhouse defended himself. From actual convicted child rapists, of course... Inga is upset about that.; 4/28/26, 3:06 PM

Inga said...: I’m wondering why so many of you humorless Trumpists comment here at the Althouse blog, considering that Althouse is one of us who found the Stewart piece funny.; 4/28/26, 4:02 PM
Inga said...: Black humor, also known as dark comedy or humour noir, is a style of comedy that makes light of subject matter that is generally considered taboo, serious, or painful, such as death, disease, war, or trauma. It is often used as a coping mechanism to process distressing situations, aiming to provoke both laughter and discomfort.

Here is a breakdown of the genre:
Key Characteristics
Morbid Subject Matter: Focuses on topics like hopelessness, suffering, and tragedy.
Coping Mechanism: Frequently used by professionals in high-stress fields (police, firefighters, doctors) to deal with horrific realities.
Absurdity & Irony: Highlights the pointless or ironic nature of existence.
Tone: Often cynical, sardonic, and skeptical; 4/28/26, 4:14 PM

Vance said...: "Why are you here at Althouse?" the crazed "I love laughing when Republicans are being shot at, but really, I am the real compassionate person here, I swear" leftist asks. Maybe, Inga, it's because despite being a leftist, our gracious host is practically the last leftist in America who isn't a censorious communist swine and doesn't think that forcibly silencing anyone she disagrees with is a good thing. You know, unlike you and the rest of your party. Ms. Althouse is still part of the old tradition Democrats used to claim: "I may disagree with what you say but I will defend your right to say it!" Instead of your standard: "I disagree with what you say and I will silence and preferably kill you because you say it!" that today's modern Democrats use as their operating policy. Remember the leftists all calling for capital punishment for the Covington Catholic boys for the "crime" of "Smirking while Catholic". You never, ever criticized or disagreed with any of the leftists calling for Nick Sandmann and his friends to be fed into a woodchipper. Just like you never ever criticize all of your friends who celebrated Charlie Kirk being killed.; 4/28/26, 4:27 PM

Based on reports from January 2026, some conservative figures and Republican politicians did not joke about, but rather heavily mocked and blamed Democrats following fatal shootings involving ICE agents in Minneapolis. Others, however, expressed concern as more details emerged.
The Guardian
The Guardian

Mockery and Blame: Following the January 7, 2026, fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent, Donald Trump and other Republicans mocked Democrats, blaming them for the "chaos" and claiming the victim was a "professional agitator". Some Republicans, such as Rep. Chip Roy, engaged in "victim-blaming" in the aftermath.
Specific Incidents of Mockery: Senator Mike Lee of Utah was criticized for social media posts mocking the situation and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, using phrases like "Nightmare on Wall Street".
Divided Response: While many initial responses were defensive of ICE, the incident caused a "rare GOP rift". Following a second fatal shooting, some Republicans, including Senators Bill Cassidy and Thom Tillis, expressed concern and called for investigations, calling the events "incredibly disturbing".
Alternative Views: Tucker Carlson criticized some conservatives for not viewing the deaths through a "human lens" and for becoming desensitized to violence.

Howard said...: Dark humor is usually most effective and mostly embraced by people when it is generalized situations that we all experience or are made up out of whole cloth not a specific incident designed to mock the behavior of people in a momentary period Of extreme chaos and uncertainty.

Doctor strangelove is probably the best example of dark humor used in a movie.

A very popular dark humor joke. It'd be something like a guy is on the six hole and he hits the ball into the trees he walks over to his ball hooks up at his partner and says oh my God. Last time I played this hole I hit the ball over to here. My wife of 40 years died of a heart attack. His friend says oh my God. That must have been so horrible for you. Yeah I ended up taking a six.; 4/28/26, 4:57 PM
Inga said...: “Jon Stewart’s piece was hilarious.

Yep. A real knee-slapper.”

The funniest part of Stewart’s piece to me was the joke about imagining RFK Jr.’s wife lamenting to her husband, “Why can’t you be more like Steven Miller?” LOL, Steven Miller of all people was more of a good husband to his wife than RFK Jr.!; 4/28/26, 4:58 PM

Lazarus said...: Trumpers saying “Fuck your feelings” or wearing shirts with those words sounds like the sort of fringe fad that the media discovers/invents when they look at the right wing.

Ha, ha. I doubt very much the USSS gave RFK Jr, as a cabinet member, any choice about being hustled out of there. Miller is not on that level and was left to his own devices.

As for Stewart, his act has long since grown old and tired. As has Inga’s.; 4/28/26, 5:33 PM
Vance said...: Note the argument here from the leftists: "how DARE Trump and Republicans exercise their right to criticize Democrats for calling for their murder! Don't they know that Democrats can say whatever they want, including laughing at killing their opponents, and no one should be allowed to criticize them for it! Free speech only applies to Democrats!"

Kimmel can call for murdering Republicans, I guess, and it's a-ok for his targets to strike back. The fact that Inga, et. al., cannot stand any pushback on their friends calls to murder Republicans is totally on brand.; 4/28/26, 5:43 PM

Yes, we totally get it. Because people like you actually really, really hate Miller with the heat of a thousand suns, but now you have to hate 'Junior even worse, because Miller - did I mention we hate him? - Miller's behavior was comically seen as better than 'Junior's, as he was being hustled off as the Primary for his personal detail. You know - after the shots were fired.

Yes, we totally get how your own bilious hate can be derived into a special humor, that you take enjoyment from. What did you call it? Black humor? Yes Inga, we know.

I think you should look up the definition of black humor. It's a comic device used for dramatic effect in story telling, for normal people. But this was a real assassination attempt, and decent people are able to understand the distinction.; 4/28/26, 5:46 PM

RCOCEAN II said...: Oh he looked at the camera and rolled his eyes. Hahaha what wit - that is so hilarious. And all the men were such cowards. Unlike the Senators on J6 who bravely stood their ground and fought the Protestors mano v. mano.

Its so hilarious when Repubicans are almost killed by madmen with shotguns. And that SS agent who took a shotgun slug in the chest, well that was just fun and games.

Was Jon Stewart cracking jokes on October 7, 2023? Or J6? Or when his Israel was attacked in the current war? Or was that different?; 4/28/26, 6:03 PM
boatbuilder said...: The only fair response to Stewart is to ask: "What the hell would you do, tough guy?"

Making fun of people disarmed, trapped and fearing for their lives while gunfire is occurring is frankly sick and cowardly.

If the people actually confronted with the situation use black humor to relieve tension and move on, I applaud them. Outsiders should just keep their traps shut.

I would cite incidents in which Democrats were confronted with similar circumstances--but there don't seem to be any in recent memory. I note that there were Democrat-affiliated and liberal correspondents in the audience who some people mocked for allegedly "cowering." To those mockers I ask--"What the hell would you do?"; 4/28/26, 6:04 PM

RCOCEAN II said...: MSM thinks attacks on the White house - when occupied by a Republican are just an excuse for mockery and comedy. And assassination attempts. Kimmel should be fired. But he wont be. But you can be Goddamn sure that anyone who'd joked about J6 - would've been cancelled in a heartbeat.; 4/28/26, 6:06 PM
Peachy said...: Jon Stewart is an over-acting blowhard with a tired act.
It isn't funny to most of us.
This isn't hard.; 4/28/26, 6:06 PM

Jon Stewart’s piece was hilarious. Did your sense of humor get destroyed by being in the Trump cult? Be careful, more and more of you people here sound like Achilles.

You piece of shit couldn’t even handle somebody wearing an Obama Mask. You ruined a man’s life because as a rodeo clown, he put a Barack Obama mask on.

If you guys are still going on and on about Pelosi being attacked by his lover.

If there was even one attack on a Democrat, you guys would lose your shit. You’re just such a retard that nobody cares. Eventually it is going to come back around on you. You can laugh about your dark humor all you want but you’re just a piece of shit.

Just imagine what would happen if the democrat Congress had a softball game and Republicans showed up and started shooting. These are evil people and the only thing that they’re mad about is they haven’t killed more Republicans yet.; 4/28/26, 6:12 PM

Not Illinois Resident said...: Meanwhile, media is spinning story Miller was hiding behind his wife.; 4/28/26, 6:26 PM
Vance said...: Ah yes... Did a single Democrat leap to the defense of the rodeo clown or did they all celebrate him being fired. Note that he was fired by the State of Missouri, not a private sector, for his speech ( I thought we had the first amendment, but I guess it doesn't apply when you criticize St. Barack of the LightWorker).

Now Inga and the rest are whining that Democrat "comedians" calling for the assassination of the president is being criticized. "Free speech!" they whine. "But only for Democrats. If you want to make fun of a Democrat, we'll jail and fire you!"; 4/28/26, 6:30 PM
Josephbleau said...: Stewart stopped being funny in 1975. There was a poll on it somewhere. I am waiting for him to show a school shooting and crack jokes.; 4/28/26, 6:56 PM

The rodeo clown. You people remember the smallest scraps of long past minutiae like every future ex-wife.

Yeah. So sorry to remember how Obama acted when he held power.

Why would we compare how Obama ruined someones life because he wore a mask to Hakeem Jeffries calling for Maximum Warfare after the democrat party tried to kill Trump again.

Your argument is stupid.; 4/28/26, 9:25 PM

Tina Trent said...: What cruelty. Another assassination attempt, people terrified for their lives, and this dirtbag and his audience can't stop laughing. Let's do a slow-mo of Charlie Kirk's wife in complete collapse being led out and giggle at that, you filthy leftist moral nullities.

RFK Jr. looked paralyzed. How many times has this happened to his loved ones? His father? Did he have to exit through the kitchen too?

By laughing at this, Jon Stewart is minimizing existential trauma and excusing the violence for which his side is culpable. It's obvious in the difference between the images and his words. But it should be verbalized anyway.

Soulless prick.; 4/29/26, 9:45 AM
Tina Trent said...: I second what the fuck is wrong with you, Ann? You don't merit Althouse when you think it's funny to watch people fleeing for their lives. Oh, and fuck you, Old and Slow. You proudly call yourself a former fugitive, now a travel agent in Arizona. Well, we can always find out what you did and see if the statute's really run, and whether you can still legally hold an agent's license, can't we?; 4/29/26, 9:51 AM
Tina Trent said...: How would you like it if Jon Stewart was laughing hilariously while showing an audience images of your son being swept off a dock to his death, Inga? As the audience howled.

What I would do in that case is spend a day trying to use my media contacts to get those images removed from the internet out of empathy for you, not gloat about it for the most sordid political points. I would feel for you.; 4/29/26, 10:01 AM
