Just want to confirm for those of you who wisely don& #39;t watch Trump that yes, he did accuse Biden of high treason at his presser—and in so doing implied that not only is Biden a criminal but should be executed. That& #39;s how dangerous Trump is. Don& #39;t ever forget it. Not for a second.

I think we have a tendency to feel so exhausted by Trump& #39;s words that we treat them as meaningful when they& #39;re meaningless and meaningless when they& #39;re meaningful.

The President of the United States has accused his opponent of treason—and that is *profoundly* vile and dangerous.

Trump didn& #39;t just name Obama and Biden as part of a group that committed—as he falsely claims—"treason," he said it was the "highest" treason, which is code (I don& #39;t know why I call it code, it& #39;s actually explicit) for, "this is the sort of treason you get the death penalty for."

And instead of all of America grinding to a halt—with a *refusal* to move forward until Trump retracts his false claim—media imagine that if they ignore it, it didn& #39;t happen. But hundreds of thousands saw it live—and millions will hear it spoken of approvingly on far-right media.

Trump is radicalizing his base in a way America has never seen—beyond even George Wallace, if that& #39;s possible to imagine, as Trump is painting a picture for his "army" of a world in which Biden is convicted of treason and executed. And he& #39;s doing it in daylight, with an audience.

I& #39;m glad Daniel Dale is fact-checking Trump on this. And yet, isn& #39;t this the sort of historically vile statement by a president that must be *more* than fact-checked? Shouldn& #39;t every GOP pol in America be asked to *immediately* denounce Trump& #39;s sick slur? https://twitter.com/ddale8/status/1293307140908748802?s=20">https://twitter.com/ddale8/st...
