I did. Your problem is you read them without noticing the parts Taibbi was lying about ;)

The part where he mentioned posts being deleted without saying what they were for instance - you can look all those up on archive.org. They’re penises. The part today about the CIA is just nonsense.

Similarly, the laptop story was suppressed by Trump’s FBI because it sounds worse when you post vague insinuations about it then if you saw the real thing, an obvious fake[1]. You can look up the original “reporting” on the archive too - it comes from Guo Wengui, a Chinese billionaire friend of Giuliani, and it’s full of lurid writing about, again, the size of his penis[2] and claims it’s full of child porn.

Including the ;) is unnecessary and makes this post come across in a really condescending way.

Seemed a bit too robotic with just a period. Topic’s kind of heavy you know.

It is, but I also feel like it is counterproductive to the message you are trying to communicate. The rest of the post is otherwise articulate and sourced.
