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

[ihaveaquestion]

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!

1. Why threaten? If he can do it, why not just drop the names of people obstructing disclosure?

Or the names of offenders being protected?

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

[2naSalit]

4. All of the above!

[BOSSHOG]

2. Lil more specific massie

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

[misanthrope]

17. Better yet

Say that he or one of his colleagues will do it, so those moving in opposition realize that silencing him alone won't stop it.

[flvegan]

3. Here's a thought: just fucking do it.

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.

5. Give him a small break...he's Republican...

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.

6. This is true.

He may not be used to doing the moral thing and therefore doesn't know how to proceed.

[patphil]

15. I like your analysis of the situation.

[paleotn]

11. I think he's doing this....

...perhaps to be on the moral side, but more likely to be on the right side of the coming Trump collapse. Donnie is fading. When he fades, that dark magic that's kept the magat movement going fades with him. It's going to get savage after that. He thinks he's found good ground to stand on when that happens. Perhaps MTG as well, though I find it hard to believe she can strategize that far into the future.

[NotHardly]

7. Stop threatening, just g*ddamn do something already!

Stop being such weak-kneed arsewipes.

Act, do, be before they kill or imprison us all.

8. They should give them a deadline to release the names and the documents they are listed in.

They have had more than enough time already and they've deliberately delayed release and obfuscated the contents to imply other people. They couldn't release anything when Biden was in office because Maxwell was still on trial and there were ongoing investigations.

In Trump's case, I think he has already blackmailed the people who's names are in the files as clients and potential clients and if their names come out now, they are going to spill beans regarding both Trump's involvement and the blackmail. Some of those people are likely very wealthy Republican donors and Global billionaires and oligarchs. Trump fears them because he knows that if he were to try to flee the US to avoid prosecution for his treason and many other crimes he would have no protection from those people. And, I honestly doubt he cares much about his kids other than Barron and Ivanka but they'll probably be toast if certain peoples names are released.

[MLWR]

10. "Barron"??? You mean "Melanie's son"???

I doubt he cares much for Barron. I think Barron embarrasses him.

[ChicagoTeamster]

16. How would Barron embarrass Donald? Because he's so much taller? Has he done or not done something?

[FiveFifteen]

9. Special Prosecutor?🤷‍♂️

Seems like the best way to cut the crap and get things done. Haven’t seen this raised anywhere. It should be the next move, raise it up on the Sunday morning news shows. Send a lightning bolt.

[pfitz59]

12. Just do it!

The 'Speech and Debate Clause' gives him legal protection. Expose the pedos and tbeir enablers. Diddy went to jail. He needs company.

[rurallib]

13. If Massey won't go ahead with his threat, how about Rho Khanna?

I don't care who, just fucking do it. Don't let the felon in the White House get away any longer

[AllaN01Bear]

14. just do it and li and like .
