It’ll pump up like 10% right after I buy some puts

House / Senate leadership: “we want to be clear, there is no legal authorization for the use of force - as such, this equates to murder. We are calling in all COCOM leaders to inform them that they too will be held liable.”

Someone call the orcas

So little rust on the right, just like John Paul Jones wanted it to be

Lmao it’s so true

Is there a good essay or article explaining these arguments? (Sorry, layman here!)

Which one is this? Looks like GMT something…..

The only thing that would make SV better would be removing the influence money has on politics.

“Will the Americans risk half their carrier force in April of 1942 for a propaganda raid?”
