Spotifying Trump’s Lies

When some Trumpreneurs are entertaining the idea of making the Pinocchio-in-Chief’s manifold lies available on Spotify in different music or podcast formats so that they sound pleasing or soothing to the ears of millions of ultra-MAGA cult members.

Guesstimate how much royalty creators could be raking in every month by Spotifying Trump’s lies in different languages.

Protest via Poetry

When someone waves or reads a book of poetry at a Trump rally as they are being pissed off by his racist, supremacist, or hateful comments about his political foes or towards those with a different skin color as him.

Johanna opened a copy of Claudia Rankine’s “Citizen: An American Lyric” halfway through the political rally she’s attending with her husband—did her action look like a sign protest via poetry?

🦤 🔢

Short for “Dodo Math.” Dated math topics, questions, or heuristics that may still interest some curious or eccentric recreational mathematicians or math educators, who in turn might share their “new knowledge” with a geeky or gray-haired audience keen to learn about the mathematics of yesteryear.

Square rooting and finding logarithms with a slide rule and on an abacus are two 🦤 🔢 lessons popular among symbol-minded senior citizens.

Assassination Coordinates

When mean or naughty netizens spitefully or wickedly decide to share someone's live location online, such as their whereabout or those of their loved ones, which increases the odds of those who dislike these oft-über-rich or obnoxious fellows to threaten, kidnap, or harm them out of envy, jealousy, or hatred.

A self-confessed “free speech champion” rationalized that he’d zero choice but to ban the Twitter accounts of some “anti-MAGA” journalists because they’re guilty of providing “assassination coordinates” to tens of thousands of his fiends and foes, who’d arm themselves to shorten his days “improving” the lives of billions on this side of eternity.

Twonager

A toddler who leverages on their young age and radical selfishness to terrorize or blackmail their parents and grandparents to give in to their demands or wants.

Twonagers born with a silver spoon in their mouth are like little Donald J. Trump’s or Kim Jong-Un’s, with a small percentage of them never outgrowing that phase of their life to become lifelong jerks or assholes.

Cryptmas

A frightening or undesirable state of mind people find themselves in prior to Christmas—for instance, they might unfairly be made redundant so that their companies could save on salaries and year-end bonuses.

Sanitation engineers at Twitter's headquarters in San Francisco were handed a cryptmas letter informing them that they were fired sans retrenchment benefits, because robots would be taking over their wallet-unfriendly jobs.

Strike

The post-pandemic weapon of choice by underpaid and undervalued workers to paralyze or blackmail their employers, thanks to unions’ demands for higher pay and humane working conditions for these overworked and exhausted (or exploited) workers—their “illegal” actions would force the overpaid bosses or politicians to be on their knees if they won’t play ball.

Guesstimate how many man- and woman-hours would be lost this year as ambulance drivers, nurses, rail operators, and postal workers in the UK go on coordinated strikes this festive season.
