      Frivolously accusing political opponents of treason is indeed contemptible, but it's hard to take outrage from Dem and Dem-allied media seriously when they've been doing the same thing nonstop for the past 1.5 yearshttps://twitter.com/politico/status/960622736648359936 …

      1) Dems casually toss around treason charges for 1.5 years 2) Trump apes their rhetoric, as was 100% inevitable 3) Dems thereby lack standing to justifiably object to Trump's idiocy 4) Dems get mad when you point out that this sequence of events was utterly, banally predictable

      Lots of confused people online can't respond to any comparative observation other than to whine "false equivalence." So for reference, here's something from mere hours ago:https://twitter.com/mtracey/status/960594627597422592 …

      Cory Booker's rationale for why the Nunes memo should not be released -- "tantamount to treasonous," he said -- could now just as easily be invoked as rationale for why the Schiff memo should not be released.

          I get your point but that’s on the schoolyard thinking. Because one person doesn’t that means it’s OK for me to do it he’s the president the other is a junior senator trying to pretend he might have a chance at being a president. They’ Both wrong. Two wrongs don’t make a right!

          Read the first tweet, in which I described Trump's comment as "contemptible," and the second tweet, in which I characterized the comment as reflective of Trump's "idiocy."

          People respond to your bad takes with terms like “false equivalence” because you constantly show that you can’t make a point without having to use a comparison, which is generally a overwrought contortion. That is a reflection of your lazy writing, not of your critics.

          Booker is talking about a sitting member of Congress releasing classified information for political distraction against the advice of the DOJ and intel services. Calling that treasonous isn’t frivolous. You and your wannabe journalism antics are frivolous.

          The funny part is that false equivalence is your go to move for getting attention. Why not own it?

          Donald Trump's former campaign manager was literally charged with "conspiracy against the United States." Democrats didn't clap. False equivalency is putting it mild, Tracey.

          Manafort was Trump's campaign manager for a mere two months before being fired. The charges Mueller filed against him had nothing to do with the Trump campaign and go back years prior. He has plead not guilty.

          Is false equivalence when you can't distinguish the blatant lie from something that we have a special investigator researching.

          Wait, not clapping at a speech is equivalent to actively trying to undermine the nation's highest law enforcement agency to protect oneself? That's your take? Jesus Christ, no wonder you have to resort to claiming elderly women beat you to get any sympathy.
