I fell into a job bussing tables and porting alcohol at a local live music venue when I was 19 and I worked there off and on over seven years. As much as I love live music after a while it just sort of became a job, but every now and again

You're absolutely right that the ratification of laws isn't of consequence here and that we live in the real world. And in this real world Iran has successfully exerted their will over the waterway and is clearly in control of it.

But can the US military actually do anything about it? They've been trying for five weeks and Iran has successfully fended them off. It's really hard to look at this situation as anything but a loss for the United States. Tens

I think that the reason you reject the claims and won’t even entertain the notion as a hypothetical is because you know deep down that you’ve been duped by Musk and can’t admit that fact publicly. Should incontrovertible proof of the magnit
