Saw this today, and … well, I’m not going to be so forgiving to people suggesting to vote Third Party rather than vote for Biden. If Trump wants me to do something, and you want me to do that same something, that tells me you’re aligned with Trump.

    Huh, I don’t trust the authenticity of an email until I’ve seen some cryptographic proof (like DKIM, GPG, S/MIME)

    That criteria totally does apply to journalists.

        WikiLeaks, for example, publishes all such headers. If memory serves some of the Panama papers were similarly authenticated.

          So you trust wikikeaks published the original headers?

          Did you personally verify the headers?

          Why do you trust wikileaks and the people who verified the headers, but not reporters?

            I don’t trust WikiLeaks, I trust the cryptography behind DKIM. I did in fact verify some of those cryptographic signatures myself. And you can too if you’d like, because the source material was published in full.
