> Are you looking for cnn, msnbc, fox, or one of the other media corporations fueled by pharma alone to write an editorial telling you why something is true?

I am looking for specific evidence that substantiates the claim that was made. "Go read the damn Twitter files" is not evidence anymore than "Google it".

> Are you questioning the veracity of the data given in the twitter files? Because even the executive branch didn’t do that.

This means nothing to me, because you have not provided any supporting evidence for your claims.

I’m not here to feed you sources or convince you. If you’ve ignored the twitter files for months no link from me is going to change your mind.

Have a nice day.

I've read the Twitter files. I do not believe the content supports your claims.

The fact that you refuse to link to any specific evidence makes it seem like you know this and aren't acting in good faith.

The Twitter files were a conspiracist field day. Very easy for people to take random quotes or figures out of context and use them to support their preconceived notions. It's amazing how many people are handwaving "look in the Twitter files" as proof of their claim that has no evidence otherwise, or has even been long since disproven. It's not surprising at all to see the same polemicists and grifters tout the same line every time something happens that can be spun to "prove" their point.

Is handwaving one of the new buzzwords in the propaganda shops. I see a lot of dismissive comments lazily using this lingo.
