      The President of the United States called into a news show, enraged his own justice department isn’t indicting his electoral opponent despite, he says, his constantly urging them to do so. How have we become so used to this that there’s barely a reaction?https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/08/us/politics/trump-calls-to-indict-political-rivals.html …

      The president is on the record, saying that he's pressuring his own Attorney General to indict his electoral opponent, and that he's angry at being told they need more evidence. Yes, everyone has gotten used to this, but there really should be no other topic to discuss right now.

          (I mean political topic. People are discussing tax rates and this and that, and yes, even the Supreme Court, without addressing this??? I'm not clutching my pearls and yes there is an election soon, but that's exactly why rolling eyes or silence on this issue is not appropriate).

          If he loses, every legislator will claim they never supported him or they never looked the other way, etc. Everyone holding or running for office—or even commentator—should be asked this *now*: The president says he's pressuring his AG to indict his opponent. What should we do?

          I don't think anyone running for office should be allowed to talk about anything else until they give a straightforward answer on this issue. People cannot be allowed to argue about the optimal tax rate till we get reminded what is happening and that he still holds nuclear codes.

          Well, don’t forget that the President with the nuclear football is continuing to take a steroid with powerful psychoactive side effects and seems to be downright delusional about various things when interviewed over the phone by the most friendly TV host he knows

          Barr would happily do it, but he needs sufficient pretext.

          We should also talk about how extremists are encouraged to the point of plotting to kidnap, try and execute a governor while blowing up bridges and recruiting others as the president chimes in disparaging her all while the FBI warns white supremacy is our biggest domestic threat.

          What I’m worried is if we did talk about it, the mainstream media would somehow both-sides this!

          He’s doing this (instinctively) to muddy the waters so that when he is indicted and sent to jail, he can just say Biden is jailing his opponents.

          I mean, I’ve seen it suggested that we should (at this point) be depicting it as crazy talk and especially projection, to keep it clear what he’s doing.
