From Political Dictionary, Sanity Press, 2025 ed.
Monotony — 1 : any holiday message scrawled by Donald J. Trump; 2 : childish gibberish habitually issuing from a late-stage-septuagenarian autocrat; 3 : a fixed verbal or written banality distinguished only by its calendar date
Example of monotony by, not in, a sentence:
"Merry Christmas to the Radical Left Lunatics, who are constantly trying to obstruct our Court System and our Elections, and are always going after the Great Citizens and Patriots of the United States but, in particular, their Political Opponent, ME."
Such was Part 2 of Trump's Christmas Day message to the nation. The brain numbs. He followed this bit of pathological projection with another: "They know that their only chance of survival is getting pardons from a man who has absolutely no idea what he is doing." He named some of the radical left lunatics; e.g., Attorney General Merrick Garland, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman, Mark Milley, and (Republican) FBI director Chris Wray, whom he appointed.
Part 1 of Trump's Christmas Day message differed substantially: no monotony, instead a massive slathering of genuine Crazy. As I wrote to a friend yesterday evening about America's imminent descent into Rumsfeldian vortexes of known unknown "slogs," Trump's cognitive disability seems to have taken a sharp turn into degenerative spectral disorders of the most terrifyingly goofy kind. (Note: photo is from a gif he posted.) The acute symptoms of Part 1's frightful conditions follow.
"Merry Christmas to all, including to the wonderful soldiers of China, who are lovingly, but illegally, operating the Panama Canal..., always making certain that the United States puts in Billions of Dollars in 'repair' money, but will have absolutely nothing to say about 'anything.'"
China may disagree. First, however, the U.S. would need to militarily appropriate the Panamanian asset. Just a guess here, but such hard-power intervention and naked violation of international law would rather upset all Central and South American nations, valued trade partners and proprietors of soon-opened floodgates of lawless immigration to the U.S. like the world has never before seen, to quote an unstable statesman of our times. Continued Trump:
"Also, to Governor Justin Trudeau of Canada, whose Citizens’ Taxes are far too high, but if Canada was to become our 51st State, their Taxes would be cut by more than 60%, their businesses would immediately double in size, and they would be militarily protected like no other Country anywhere in the World."
This Trumpian silliness about Canada No. 51 is intended as just that. And that is what's so disturbing — a president-elect repeatedly tossing around raw, immature foolishness. Here's a man about to go up against emphatically unplayful adversaries such as Xi Jinping and he's spending his re-POTUS-prep time prattling frivolously about our independent northern neighbor joining a nation led by the very personification of an infantile mind.
Last, wrote Trump, "Likewise, to the people of Greenland, which is needed by the United States for National Security purposes and, who want the U.S. to be there, and we will."
Shorthand reaction: "Good God Almighty you unmitigated moron." Little else need be said. Not only does Greenland already have the U.S. military stationed there, as a territory of NATO-member Denmark it's been under the U.S.-European alliance's protection since 1949. (During these holidays away from home, I've yet to hear a broadcast journalist even mention that because of Greenland's de-facto membership in NATO, the United States scarcely needs to own it for "National Security purposes.")
How did Trump finish this mishmash of buffoonery, singular ignorance and unfettered derangement?
"In 26 days, we will, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. MERRY CHRISTMAS!"

One day later: DOGElords Elmo and Ramalamadingdong are getting blown up on twitter for suggesting we need to double HB1 visas because Americans are too dumb to work tech jobs.
I did NOT lay in enough popcorn.

I should be peddling something on this site, like Trump. Something in the ultimate tacky, something to entertain us as we watch the country burn. When I think of it I'll let you know. I'm open to suggestions.

Let's hope this offer (https://www.newyorker.com/humor/borowitz-report/denmark-offers-to-buy-us) is still valid. I, for one, would welcome our Danish overlords.

Meanwhile, I'm sure RFK wants to ramp up the H1N1 visas...
