Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The revolution will be supervised.

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

This really is a full service blog.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

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

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

American History and Black History Cannot Be Separated

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Of all the possible plausible explanations, “Horsing around with Barron” has to be the one designed to raise the most eyebrows. https://t.co/eB5C1j8Pqx

.
I’d bet a store-bought cookie the old man’s on blood thinners. Although it’s quite possible his aides / Jarvanka have told him they’re ‘vitamins’, or even Murphy forbid ‘virility supplements’.

And in the working-class milieu where I grew up, this kind of ‘horsing around with the kid’ injury would mean that Barron is now big enough to physically stop the old man from bashing his mother again. But then, we didn’t have Secret Service agents hanging around 24/7…

    The bandages, which are flesh-colored and appear to be the size of a standard Band-Aid, are not conspicuous

    From the article.

    We really badly need to move beyond white people’s complexion to describe flesh colored.

    But the White House said on Tuesday that Trump sustained the injury while playing with his 12-year-old son. “The President was having fun and joking around with his son Barron and scratched his hand,” White House press secretary Sarah Sanders told POLITICO.

    the saddest thing is, the kid’s probably gonna see that and say to himself, “Oh fuck you, Jethrene, and your fat dumb clown of a boss”. In Slovenian.

    @gene108:
    I’ve got a band aid on my finger now, and if you met me you say I’m damned white. That band aid is not flesh colored. And no it’s not a kiddy band aid. It’s regular ole band aid. Band Aid brand in fact.
    But you are correct about the concept of band aids being called flesh colored. It may be in the general vicinity of some one’s flesh tone, I’ve just never met them, nor do I remember ever seeing them.

    Eh, maybe it’s just that thing lots of old people get where their skin thins and their veins become more prominent and they scratch and bleed easily? Both my parents (80-ish) have had that issue for a while, and they’re not on blood thinners and not knockin’ each other about. Much as I loathe the Pumpkinturd, there’s no need to read too much into every little thing.

    ON THE OTHER HAND – it’s inconceivable that asshole has ever done anything remotely resembling “playing” with Barron, or any other of his offspring. I’d be astonished if he’s even laid eyes on Barron in the last two months. AL, your theory is at least as plausible as the idiotic official excuse.

    In a curious twist, a bandage is also visible on the back of Hannity’s left hand as the pair stand filming an interview.

    And from a graf down, after some argle-bargle about mixed martial arts…

    “What,” Hannity asked, “Do you think we colluded to have Band-Aids on?”

    Good christ. Granted, I’m probably several orders of magnitude more active than Trump, but I always have either a bandaid or a visible injury. My boss asked me about it once, and I explained that because I played sports and do woodworking, I sort of don’t have the kind of self preservation from small injuries that a lot of people normally do. I’ll absentmindedly shove my hand into a rose bush, or reach behind a piece of furniture that might have a sharp edge or staple exposed. I burn myself a lot as well. Usually I don’t even notice it until my wife gives me the dry ‘you’re bleeding again, please make it stop’. My grandfather was the same way, but my dad, who didn’t get the woodworking bug like me, is a lot more careful about not injuring himself.

    Now, that’s not to say I’m particularly tough. I’ve passed out giving blood before, and needles do require me to concentrate very hard to not freak out. Simple illnesses will incapacitate me. But tearing up my hands, arms, etc – do it all the time.

    But put me down as a ‘playing with Barron’ skeptic. More likely he hurt it punching the portrait of Hillary in the WH.

    The Guardian has gotten hold of the latest tell-all book, Chris Christie’s “Let Me Finish.”

    He describes how much of an idiot Jared Kushner is in detail, and Mikes Pence and Flynn are trashed too.

    It has its lighter moments. At his first meeting with Trump in 2002, at a dinner in the Trump International Hotel and Tower, in New York, Trump ordered his food for him. He chose scallops, to which Christie is allergic, and lamb which he has always detested. Christie recalls wondering whether Trump took him to be “one of his chicks”.

    At another dinner three years later Trump told the obese Christie he had to lose weight. Addressing him like one of the contestants in Miss Universe, the beauty contest organisation that he owned, Trump said “you gotta look better to be able to win” in politics.

    Trump returned to the theme of girth during the 2016 presidential campaign, exhorting Christie to wear a longer tie as it would make him look thinner.

    WHAT

    OK, Hannity being like ‘oh do you think we COLLUDED’ is super disingenuous. So, what the FLYING FUCK is going on here.

    On the one hand (heh) I’m like “okay, Trump is faking stigmata to further symbolize Jesus to his nutjob last ditch followers”.

    On the other hand, he’s a fucking Russian asset and likes to privately consult with Putin for half an hour without anyone present, and there’s every reason to consider him literally a Putin agent. Not a clever one, a wackjob off the rails one, but totally owned in deeply creepy ways. SO…

    If Trump needs to send a frantic emergency signal to his master, how does he do that?

    I think this is their panic button signal. If Trump’s seen publically with bleeding wounds on the back of his hand, it means ‘HELP’. And if his handlers also show that same mark, it means…? I dunno, ‘got it’? ‘understood’?

    If he keeps on showing that sign over and over without ‘his hand healing up or at least clotting like a regular human’s’, I think it’s a signal. That or he is Jesus. NOT. It’s a signal to Putin and he’s looking for some kind of assistance. That IS who he works for, and he gets to consult with Putin in total privacy, even as President, but then he needs to be inaccessible for long periods of time because he’s being watched as President. Therefore, signal-sending, of a kind that can operate in public.

    @Chris Johnson:

    If Trump needs to send a frantic emergency signal to his master, how does he do that?

    I think this is their panic button signal.

    So it’s their shat signal?

    @joel hanes: They try that in my hand all the time. I was just in the ER two nights ago, and I had to insist that they go into my elbow (which would seem to be the obvious place to stick, since it’s got better veins. My hands almost never get good sticks. But those bandages do look like medical ones (or the ones you get in office first aid kits)…definitely not any band-aid I’ve seen.
    In any case, if he’s getting an IV at age 70+, we’ll find out soon enough without having to speculate….he’ll end up grabbing his chest in the middle of a press spray ala Fred Sanford.

    @Mary G: So Christie tried and tried and tried to get a job in the administration long after it was clear to everyone what a dumpster fire it was, and now he’s hawking a few funny-stupid stories in some kind of tell-all?

    I think I’ll skip it.

    Was Barron even in the same city as “World’s #1 Criminal” recently? Pops was famously all alone in the WH, and I wouldn’t put it past SHS to make up a lie that can be easily debunked inside of 5 seconds.

    I’m going with the theory that he’s had some suspicious growths removed. Speaking as someone who’s worn bandages in the same place recently for similar reasons. And I’m only 60 and don’t lie around on tanning beds on a regular basis.

    Misread that as “horsing around with Bannon” and AAAGH
