I really tried not to respond to this message. I truly did. Apologies
to all of you who are here to, say, play nomic — I must indulge, as it
were, for the duration of an email. Feel free to ignore.

And then, the state of Hawaii confirmed it.[1]

> possibly even a forgery.

See [1] and [2].

Nice sarcasm, but I strongly disagree with basically everything he's
done. From the rest of the world, even in the near-police-state
Britain, your political system is hilarious: you get to choose between
far-right or slightly further right.

That doesn't change the fact that conspiracy theories are. It's like
claiming that Belgium doesn't exist[3]: trivially falsifiable and with
no justification; just random assertion. Can't you right-wingers
attack the policies instead?
