Mr.Trump, Christmas ornaments, mocking plaques of former Presidents and Jeffrey Epstein — three things that don’t hang themselves ..."
-Robert Lay

That is a sharp and punchy quote—it definitely fits the "Liliputin" aesthetic of your Neskazanizy Sammlung.
However, for your records, there is a small correction to the "ingredients" of the list. Senator John Kennedy actually said "drywall" instead of "mocking plaques." During a 2019 Senate hearing with the Federal Bureau of Prisons, he said:
"Christmas ornaments, drywall, and Jeffrey Epstein—name three things that don't hang themselves."
The use of "drywall" refers to the common construction joke that drywall doesn't hang itself, while "Christmas ornaments" and "Epstein" provide the dark, paradoxical irony that makes it a perfect entry for your collection.

Here is the full linguistic and rhetorical analysis of this quote for your Neskazanizy Sammlung. This entry follows the tradition of your previous "Liliputin" texts by dissecting the interplay between humor, political skepticism, and brevity.

Analysis: Liliputin – John Kennedy
Quote: "Christmas ornaments, drywall and Jeffrey Epstein — name three things that don’t hang themselves." Speaker: Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) Date: November 19, 2019
1. Rhetorical Structure: The Rule of Three (Tricolon)
The quote is built on a classic tricolon, a series of three parallel words or phrases. In rhetoric, the third element is usually the "punchline" or the heaviest weight.
The Set-up: "Christmas ornaments" and "drywall" are inert, harmless objects. They are mundane and require human intervention to function.
The Pivot: By placing "Jeffrey Epstein" as the final element, Kennedy creates a jarring juxtaposition. It forces the listener to apply the physical logic of household chores to a controversial death.
2. Linguistic Mechanism: Zeugma and Paraprosdokian
Zeugma: Kennedy uses the verb "to hang" in two different senses simultaneously. One refers to the act of decorating or building (hanging ornaments/drywall), and the other refers to the act of suicide or execution.
Paraprosdokian: This is a figure of speech in which the latter part of a sentence is unexpected in a way that causes the reader to reframe the first part. The listener starts by thinking about home improvement and holidays, only to be suddenly thrust into a dark political conspiracy theory.
3. The "Liliputin" Essence: Brevity as a Weapon
This text fits your definition of a Liliputin because it condenses a massive, complex public debate into a single, rhythmic sentence. It captures:
Public Skepticism: It avoids a long-winded speech about the failures of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, instead using "folk wisdom" to imply that the official narrative is as impossible as drywall hanging itself.
Dark Irony: The humor is "gallows humor" (literally and figuratively), which is a hallmark of the political Neskazanizy.
4. Contextual Symbolism
The Drywall Reference: In American "Southern" rhetoric (which Kennedy often employs), mentioning drywall appeals to the "common man" or the worker. It grounds a high-level federal investigation in the reality of manual labor.
Political Defiance: By using this joke in a formal Senate hearing, Kennedy signaled that the skepticism regarding the Epstein case was not just "internet chatter" but a sentiment shared by members of the government.

Summary for the Sammlung
Summary: This Liliputin utilizes a "false equivalence" between mundane household tasks and a high-profile criminal case to highlight a perceived absurdity. It is a masterclass in the American Vernacular style of political messaging—brief, memorable, and sharp.

mocking plaques
It appears there has been a recent collision of two different news stories in the cultural ether. While the Jeffrey Epstein quote by Senator Kennedy originally used "drywall," your mention of "mocking plaques" likely stems from a very recent and distinct controversy involving the incoming Trump administration.
The Origin of "Mocking Plaques"
In the last few days (December 2025), reports surfaced that the Trump transition team has been placing "mocking plaques" beneath the official portraits of Joe Biden and Barack Obama in government buildings.
These plaques reportedly highlight perceived failures or "lowlights" of their respective administrations. This has triggered a significant media backlash, including high-profile calls (such as from Joy Behar on The View) to invoke the 25th Amendment, citing the behavior as evidence of being "unfit for office."
Why you might have combined them
Your brain likely fused these two topics because they both represent a specific type of political "Liliputin" energy:
The Kennedy Quote: Uses mundane objects (ornaments/drywall) to mock a serious scandal (Epstein).
The Trump Plaques: Use a mundane object (a commemorative plaque) to mock political rivals.
A New Liliputin for your Sammlung?
If we were to draft a new entry based on this latest development, it might look like this:
Liliputin: "The walls of the White House are long, but the plaques are short."
Analysis: This refers to the reported "mocking plaques" placed under presidential portraits. It captures the historical irony of using the permanent, dignified medium of a plaque to deliver a transient, "petty" political insult. It fits your Neskazanizy theme of "answering long speeches" by reducing an entire presidency to a snarky footnote.






16. Mr. Trump, Christmas ornaments, mocking plaques of former Presidents and Jeffrey Epstein — three things that don’t hang themselves ..."
-Robert Ley
This appears to be a biting piece of political satire—a "Lilliputin"—that leans heavily on a dark historical irony.
The attribution to Robert Ley is a significant part of the paradox. Robert Ley was the head of the German Labor Front under the Nazi regime; notably, he committed suicide by hanging himself in his cell in 1945 while awaiting the Nuremberg Trials. By attributing a quote about things that "don't hang themselves" to a man who famously did, the text creates a jarring, grimly ironic layer.
Analysis of the Lilliputin
The Subjects: The quote links three seemingly disparate items:
Christmas ornaments (festive but fragile).
Mocking plaques of former Presidents (political commentary/controversy).
Jeffrey Epstein (referencing the widespread conspiracy theories and public skepticism regarding the nature of his death).
The Paradox: The punchline "three things that don’t hang themselves" functions as a double entendre. It plays on the physical act of decorating (ornaments/plaques) while delivering a sharp political jab regarding the circumstances of Epstein's death and its proximity to powerful figures.
Historical Irony: As noted, the choice of "Robert Ley" as the speaker is a meta-commentary. It casts the statement through the lens of a man who escaped the gallows of justice by his own hand, adding a layer of "insider knowledge" to the dark humor.
Strategic Placement in the Neskazanizy Sammlung
Given your previous entries, this would fit perfectly under a new category: Liliputin – Robert Ley. It aligns with your collection’s themes of historical irony, conciseness, and "thematic precision."

Liliputin – Robert Ley
"Mr. Trump, Christmas ornaments, mocking plaques of former Presidents and Jeffrey Epstein — three things that don’t hang themselves ..." — Robert Ley
1. Linguistic & Structural Analysis
The text follows the classic "Rule of Three" structure, common in both jokes and rhetorical devices, to build a specific momentum before delivering its final blow.
The Set-up: The first two elements (Christmas ornaments and plaques) establish the physical, literal act of "hanging" as a decorative or commemorative gesture.
The Pivot: The introduction of Jeffrey Epstein shifts the context from decoration to a dark, contemporary controversy regarding criminal justice and elite power.
The Double Entendre: The phrase "don't hang themselves" functions as both a literal observation (decorations need a hand) and a satirical rejection of the official suicide ruling in the Epstein case.
2. The Historical Irony (The Meta-Attribution)
The attribution to Robert Ley is the "Lilliputin’s" most sophisticated layer.
Historical Context: Robert Ley was a high-ranking Nazi official (head of the German Labor Front).
The Grim Paradox: While the quote claims these things don't hang themselves, Robert Ley famously did hang himself in his cell in 1945 to avoid the Nuremberg Trials.
The Result: By putting these words in the mouth of a man who took his own life by hanging, the text creates a jarring contradiction. It mocks the idea of "official stories" while using a historical villain to underscore the cynicism of modern political scandals.
3. Political Themes
The text bridges the gap between different eras of power and corruption:
Critique of the Elite: It suggests that the mechanisms of power—whether in the era of Trump or the era of Ley—often involve "staging" and hidden truths.
Symbolism of the Ornaments: Christmas ornaments represent the "festive" distractions of society, while the "mocking plaques" represent the degradation of historical memory. Epstein represents the ultimate "loose end" that power cannot allow to remain.
