Why does a senator have a security detail and why am I paying for such a thing? Until fairly recently, even former presidents (and for that matter, presidents in office) didn’t have guards. Do senators and other officeholders feel themselves apart from the people they supposedly represent? If so, they should resign immediately. Imperial Rome didn’t even have a set-up like this.
They feel threatened. As they should. Most are worthless scum and should be in jail. Right after they are horse whipped.
