Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    I love Elizabeth Warren to death. But saying mean things to bank execs has not actually changed their behavior.

        In fact, I bet male bank execs sit naked in the sauna together joking about the scars that Elizabeth Warren gave them. Badge of honor.

        Shame is a social construct designed to keep the little people in line.

        of course the reason we love her to death is she supports regulations which do change their behavior (include creating CFPB)

        Yes. I just want people to remain focused on the actual means by which we get from CFPB to real change of behavior.

        Sure, but this time she actually detailed the case by which John Stumpf could be arrested, the only path to behavioral change

        She didn't say mean things. A mean thing is stealing and oppressing your staff. She called them out with precise language.

        Creating CFPB might, though. She is a legislator. She does not do enforcement. That's on the SEC/DOJ

        This is true, but it's a start. Right now she doesn't have the votes for anything operative. Come next year though, maybe...
