Treat them like the children they are! (Massey making threats to read Epstein client names)

Best childrearing advice I heard was to stop threatening my kids with consequences and give them punishment for first offenses. When they complained, tell them they were old enough and smart enough to know better. Genius!

Stop warning them about chances to comply. Start reading off names!

Or the names of offenders being protected?

Sorry to be skeptical, but this seems to me to be just grandstanding.

For example Tuesday 0900, floor of the house, I will commence with the reading. Don’t threaten, make a Nike commercial. Be action hero.

I swear most politicians are good for nothing but lip service. 30 seconds of sound bytes, zero actual action.

Maybe they worry it will interfere with their insider trading. Like, they'll be shut off from forthcoming activities and news. More important than consequences for kiddie rapists, I guess.

Action is not what they are known for…threats, sure. Bullying…ok. He’s trying…I think, could be wrong…the repubs have fooled us before.
Hope he follows through.
