That's fine, but it has nothing to do with what the article says, nor that this submission is blatant politicising - an act which HN seems to pretend it is above.
People keep downvoting me for reiterating the point - this is not a conflict of interest (as demonstrated by years of precedence), nor did the Press Secretary ignore the question, nor is this an unusual situation for past and current public servants to be in.
Show me an actual conflict of interest and I'll grab my pitchfork. Show me a blatant political "wahtaboutsim" with no real substance and I'll thrust my pitchfork in it's
direction as well, internet points be damned!
- kodah 6y ago> an act which HN seems to pretend it is above. I don't know what would lead you to believe this. HN can be a very political place. Some are conservative, some are liberal, some are libertarian, some are just totally other. That's just for the US side too, wait until the people overseas wake up. You get a very wide range of understandings and perspectives here that you should absolutely learn to appreciate without maximalist conclusions. As I said about news earlier, there's a little bit of truth to everything you just have to bother to look. > People keep downvoting me for reiterating the point Generally, it's bad etiquette (and against the guidelines) to talk about downvoting behavior. It's also generally bad to arrive at maximalist conclusions, but you also did that.
