into being more aggressive. Also he might have just been having a bad day, but his tweet really rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. Hopefully, he'll walk that back a bit.

All this teasing and titillation is driving me insane (short trip).

I do so hope we get some perp walks soon.

Until we see those criminal contempt referrals, Rick Wilson is right. The RW will not respond to threats. Action only. And fast.

I’m reading a thriller in which a guy is in prison. On his first night he is taped. So he goes to the guard who processed his admission. He basically tells the guy that he has to respond fast and hard so that it doesn’t happen again. Long story short, he does. No threats. No negotiating. Response. Immediately. I don’t know how it turns out - I think the guy might become a serial killer later (yes, I read crap) - but he responded the only way possible to send his own message.

We’re in a newly savage and uncivil country. It’s a shame, but the sooner our institutions acknowledge this, the better off we’ll be in the long run. Not tough love, but, rather, tough shit. Oh, and lose the fucking key.

I want to see a bit more than harshly-worded tweets and memos.
