OZYMANDIAS
by Percy Bysshe Shelley

I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—"Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command

Standby for
“the failing Nobel Prize” with low ratings and no talent.

I wonder if USA will do a take-back of the Qatari airbase, now that none of those bribes and machinations were enough.

Living Person 🇨🇦 @cleareye2795.bsky.social · 22h

This confirms that Qatar is actually the reason there is a peace deal for Gaza.

All because Trump wants the Peace Prize.

I cannot overstate how much the Rest of the World delights in this.

If/when America saves itself from this rapid decline or empirical fall, Portland OR (and probs Portland ME too; citation: Australia/Austria) will be come tourism hotspots.

Agreed

Living Person 🇨🇦 @cleareye2795.bsky.social · 22h

Yah but the Qataris get an air base in the USA in exchange for behind-closed-doors offers to Hamas & assurances from Israel, allllllll to give Trump the Nobel Prize.

Living Person 🇨🇦 @cleareye2795.bsky.social · 22h

Trump: I want Nobel Prize; Bibi, come to USA & we’ll talk schedule & arms & real estate

Bibi: ok. Hey Qatar, we’re so sorry abt that bomb

Jared: how abt a li’l billion/s dollar deal

Qatar: how abt an air base in USA & we’ll talk to Hamas abt $$$

Trump: deal

…annnd: scene.

This may seem like a bit of a reach, but we’re talking about a country where its president buried his first wife on his golf course to turn it into a cemetery so that he wouldn’t have to pay taxes.

Thank you to the person who clipped & shared the law. Have a look.

I had understood that something other than / more than serious illness could be invoked by Members of the House, if/when deemed to be “serious.”

Further, Johnson swore in 2GOP out of session because their families were “in town.”

For consideration:

Isn’t this why faces are covered, there are no announcements or identifiers & sometimes no license plates on cars?

It’s Dept policy & their way of insulating ICE agents from prosecution à la Derek Chauvin

At this point a victim would have to pluck hair from an ICE agent’s beard

Thank you for this!

Average people have no idea why this is so important, nevermind significant

Laws don’t matter to this administration BY DESIGN and the moment that the public begin to believe that laws don’t matter — regardless of how that came to pass — those in power can do WHATEVER THEY WANT.

Living Person 🇨🇦 @cleareye2795.bsky.social · 1d

It doesn’t have to be the Speaker.

Why is this getting lost in reportage??

It can be a judge, and I think there are a couple of other people who can do it as well.

It doesn’t have to be Mike Johnson!!

You know what?!

You just burst into tears.
You’re as surprised as I am.

The sight of ppl doing this — to protect people they don’t know and will never meet — has a where humanity lives.

Several Jewish and Palestinian advocacy groups have welcomed the prospect of bringing the two-year Gaza war to an end while pointing to the work that remains, following Trump’s announcement that Israel and Hamas have reached a peace agreement.

Jewish, Palestinian advocacy groups applaud peace deal but warn of 'immense work' ahead

Trump’s announcement that an agreement had been reached was met with praise and relief.

Sir — is it not true that the Speaker is only one of at least three different people who have the authority to swear her in?

What percentage of Americans know what “plenary authority” mean?

@weissmann.substack.com — this is the only topic for the podcast next week.

for those in the back:

IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THE SPEAKER!

she can be sworn in by a judge or several other parties. It’s in the law! Totally mystified why this goes without any notice at all.

Living Person 🇨🇦 @cleareye2795.bsky.social · 2d

Oh Darling
That will alllllll happen right after Trump makes good on his promise to personally pay for the ballroom that he’s soliciting corporate sponsorship for.
