I thought the most compelling evidence was that she was a (woman) translator whose pay from publishers increased exponentially as Ferrante’s success increased.(And whose name is easily googleable.)

These are her current co-workers. And they are fine with it. Who is your comment directed at?

They didn’t really get Clinton. Sure, they impeached and put a dent in his presidency. But if he could have run again he would have won.

I didn’t get any colds at all this year and I didn’t use fish oil at all.

Yes, thank you for explaining to me what I already know, considering I was an opiate/heroin user for over a decade.

But why did you get sick at all?

Nothing. Unless there is some sort of allergic reaction (which is fairly rare.) And, obviously, the allergy would still be an issue if there was an OD on an opioid but treating an allergic reaction is usually easier than treating death.

basically the Carl Reiners and Mel Brooks-es of the future,

You are right on that front!

1) Most people are raising antitrust concerns.

Yeah, I took the line above to mean that Albus has not yet met Grindelwald (which is wrong storywise), but it is more likely that he was saying that they have not yet met in the film series timeframe.
