He's not my cup of tea either, but his bio is fairly impressive: https://www.stevesilberman.com/about-steve/
>but his bio is fairly impressive Perhaps, that one may be impressed merely by reading such a blurb is part of the problem.
I especially liked the “oh, and also, in addition to all that other stuff, he has a gold record for the Grateful Dead album he produced”

You do recall the months-long investigation into this question ? One that resulted in 37 indictments and 5 prison sentences? Even if it exonerated the Trump campaign, which it didn't, I don't think you're very accepting of alternate viewpoints.
No, I don't recall that. I recall a years long investigation into it that conceded that no evidence was ever found that implicated Trump or his campaign of colluding with Russians. I kind of have to wonder why people like Adam Schiff are still hiding all that "ample evidence" of collusion they insisted existed -- is he also in Putin's pocket and covering up for Trump? I can guess how accepting you are of alternate vi…
Is it me or does this sounds like early 4chan?
Oh hey, cool to see my article here. If anyone has questions or wants further details on anything, I'm happy to stick around this thread for a bit. I've paid altogether too much attention to this saga; glad it's going to some use.
tl;dr: don't have display texts like "here" or "this" or "this comment" etc, it's bad for people who use screenreaders, and super easy to fix, but almost no one knows about this issue, which is why I go around spamming people about it.
I also encourage everyone reading this to start spamming this advice to everyone you encounter!

Many people believe the caricatures Ask any politically independent or moderate person, and they can tell you everyone else only sees caricatures of the other side
Is "most people with X politics only sees caricatures" not a caricature? Generalizing about one's political enemies is the pastime of all people, including "moderates".

Same sort of bs is happening with the horse paste stuff now. The story about hospitals being overrun due to people oding were wildly inaccurate at best. Whatever fits the narrative I guess…
Horse paste? It's not you specifically, but you're not the first person I've seen recently who has referred to it and didn't appear to understand what the substance is. Someone I know called it a "horse tranquilizer" in a conversation the other day. It's Ivermectin. It's a dewormer. It shows some promise, but more research is needed into its efficacy. Anyone who has a baseline knowledge of medicine would call it a de…

The notion that there are sides and not a web of gradients is built on caricatures. It's the same kind of thinking that makes people believe the color painted over a state on the news tells you anything about an individual there.
Someone taken in by the ruse, on being told it was a ruse... > “It may be a lie, but the fact I believed it speaks volumes about my enemies, and not me” ... that's pretty much the zeitgeist of our times. (By which I mean, people who are on Twitter and Facebook) facepalm
I believe that tweet was intended as comedy.
You can just check. It's not typing a name into google is difficult.
