Most of them already get special treatment at airports. The gov relations people make sure they don’t wait in line at security- escort them on through the staff entrance at security and to the gate.

The goal is for the Senatorial class to never have to see, let alone be inconvenienced by a plebian.

I’m surprised they didn’t put military jets at their disposal. Or put a fleet of private jets into the budget.

Campaign finance disclosures released this week show the RNC had just $8 million in the bank and $1 million in debt. While the Trump campaign heads into 2024 with $42 million cash on hand, Biden’s political operation reported raising $97.1 million across the various committees it uses to fundraise and ended the year with $117.4 million on hand.

Or maybe even more importantly, be seen by the plebisns. Especially when they’re ditching a statewide emergency to jet off to Cancun.

Meanwhile I see Sen. Tammy Duckworth going through regular security at O’Hare. The only assistance she gets is TSA have to open the gate for her wheelchair.

She’s not a loathsome slug like Cruz.

Ech, sounds like a real triangle of sadness.
(Not that I’m at all sad it happened to her.)

In his 2001 book Democracy: The God That Failed, the libertarian Hoppe writes that: "there can be no tolerance toward democrats and communists in a libertarian social order. They will have to be physically separated and expelled from society.”
Expulsion is also necessary, Hoppe argues, for “the advocates of alternative, non-family and kin-centered lifestyles such as, for instance, individual hedonism, parasitism, nature-environment worship, homosexuality, or communism”.
As much as I hate libertarianism: this isn’t it. That guy might call himself a libertarian, but he’s clearly a textbook fascist

Wrong call. He’d have just taken the opportunity to spread more insurrectionist bullshit- and been very happy to have that time on camera to make that part of the national discourse.
He was obviously shocked and displeased to be cut off and dismissed without a chance to Gish gallop for encouraging illegal acts. Baby did not get his bottle.

I mean… true for many self-styled libertarians, no matter what they actually say. They want to be an elite class that dictates to the rest of us, since they see themselves as “natural superior” to the rest of us and central to a well-ordered society… the modern libertarian pulls directly from Ayn Rand after all, and that’s basically the plot of Atlas Shrugged - that wealth white men are superior to us, and society will fall apart without them, so we should just STFU and do what they tell us to do… 
I’m really not sure what libertarianism that you’re referencing, but it really hasn’t meant freedom from state tyranny (like, REAL state tyranny) in ages.

He’s part of the far-right network that colonized the word, starting in the 1950s. Fascism is where right-libertarianism ends up, and the rest is smokescreen for the suckers.

The kind that at least hides behind the trappings of “individual freedom” and “market forces”. This guy doesn’t even spout that claptrap
Yeah, but this one doesn’t even use the smokescreen. It’s just fascism with a word-replacement search.
