Not sure I ever had flagging power. I have never desired to flag anybody before now. If you want HN to degrade into rabid political name-calling, don't flag the people who do it. This person took the opportunity to level multiple refutable accusations at Trump, on a topic that had nothing to do with Trump. Would you rather I had engaged him at his level?

> This person took the opportunity to level multiple refutable accusations at Trump, on a topic that had nothing to do with Trump. Of course this topic has to do something with Trump. In fact, Trump is at the core of it given the role of his administration in the upcoming merger of Sinclair to include even more local stations! As for "multiple refutable accusations", I could provide you with many examples for each one, but that would be off topic indeed.

  You and I would never agree on "racist policies". One mans border control is another mans racist, apparently. I am curious about these "misogynistic policies" though. What policy is that, exactly? I suspect I'll be told about locker room talk he did in private, but maybe you have some actual misogynistic policies to share that his past history of hiring many women into executive positions belies.

    > but maybe you have some actual misogynistic policies I was talking about rhetoric (where "grab em by the p...y" is sufficient proof of DJT not respecting women, no matter if private or not - but if that is not sufficient, look at the countless allegations of rape or other sexual misconduct), but if you want policy examples, for example take a look at staff pictures. Most old white men. The only 3 women in his cabinet are Chao (Transportation), DeVos (Education) and Nielsen (DHS). Not exactly positions of power.
