Only the _The Return of the Living Dead_ (1985) zombies. Other ones will eat anything. ---

> [@Smapti](#): > > Trump’s left hand is starting to show discoloration now as well, and the right is looking even worse. I’m guessing the thought was that using the back of the left hand for Donald’s infusions would give the right hand a chance to heal. But the likelihood is that Donald will now have to hide BOTH hands. That should make for some interesting videos… ---

I’m sure there’s plenty of videos and photographs of Trump shaking hands with his left. ---

Heh. Though I was thinking more of ‘Donald sitting at his desk in the Oval Office’ and having to keep BOTH hands in his lap. That will look funny. ---

I wonder if he can do the accordion hands with his palms out at all times. He had both of them plastered with white makeup for his meetup with Zelenskyy today.

About as you’d expect. Trump babbled incoherently for awhile about how he’s ended the most wars of anyone ever and how awesome Putin is and how everything bad that happens is Biden’s fault, and nothing of substance was achieved. > **[Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com)](https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3mb3dudzqxx2f)** > > Trump: "Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed.

I looked at that photo and immediately thought of Stuart in Isaac Asimov’s [_C-Chute_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C-Chute). Rip van Simple’s hands look _exactly_ as Asimov described Stuart’s prosthetic hands. @Smapti I’m starting to think the felon’s approach to stopping wars is the same as the old joke about quitting smoking. “Quitting smoking is easy. I do it every night when I go to sleep.” ---
