heh, this disappeared from the front. Guess it's "too political" to talk about how the president is enriching himself and his family?

Per the site guidelines, it sure feels like "off topic for HN" to me.

Guess I'd argue the the president of the United States taking bribes falls under the "interesting new phenomenon". Maybe people will say it's not new (?), but this level and this blatant certainly is. Not interesting? Well, people can disagree, but I think it is.


That argument can be made for lots of posts that never come close to being flagged. Hulk Hogans death as just one instance but there's hourly examples.

Not everyone, but lot of those flagging like/voted for Trump but don't want peers sneering at him (and them). Embarrassment is a powerful motivator.


Agreed


After 4 years of pretending that Hunter Biden was an expert on the gas industry and not peddling influence and access, what authority is retained to comment on these matters?

10 for the big guy.
