Someone was talking about Harry truman the other day. When he left office harry drove in his own car back to Missori. No secret service protection.
These prima-donna meglomanics we have in office now don’t deserve protection. They should fend for themselves just like the rest of us do.
Exactly. My dad working for the railroad met him late at night at a railstation in Missouri. Traveling alone.
This bunch today essentially lives in a gated community and looks out at us.
And they go beyond protection and become political as well, protecting the politician from protesters, etc. And their motorcades are an insult and kill a cop or two a year. They drive at unreasonable speeds, in convoys or 15-20 cars and SUVs. They already are nearly doubling the speed limit. The motorcycle escorts have to nearly be stunt drivers to leapfrog ahead.
once or twice a year, one gets killed. They don’t even stop, of go to the hospital.
They aren’t really as important as they to think.
I love Harry Truman. Although he was a Democrat, he also was a common, decent man. He was a farmer and a clothing salesman. He lived out his days in the same house he owned his whole life. Having a limited government allows familiarity with one's leaders. Having a huge Empire run from Washington gives you a self-appointed nobility behind castle walls.
I’m guessing Truman figured he was the only one to ever drop atomic bombs on somebody - who was going to mess with HIM!? (”Go ahead - make my day” - Oh that was another Harry.)
