The most dangerous threat to America? White male entitlement.

As witness after witness testified to the Jan. 6 House select committee Thursday about Donald Trump’s deranged and possibly illegal plot to cling to power, it was impossible to ignore his sense of entitlement. What was this system for, if not to give him whatever he wanted? And if it wouldn’t, he would tear it down.

That’s not just his story; it’s also the story of those who stormed the Capitol on his behalf. And it’s increasingly the story of the Republican Party. In our ongoing debate about what the Constitution means and whether we should have a genuine democracy, it is the people who have been given the most advantages who are most willing, even eager, to destroy the American system.

This is about much more than Jan. 6, 2021(...)

All the people hiding behind privilege, even if it didn't really apply...
I am looking at you you lying POS Cipellone. (TFG is not now, nor was he ever your client, your client was the office of the president of the United States. You had one f-in job, keep him from commiting high crimes and misdemeanor, treason, etc. And you failed and are now just covering your ass.

I am looking at you secret service agents who erased your phones.

I am looking at you McTurtle, Weasle Graham, little Rubio, Cancun Cruz, McCarthy, etc.

I am looking at you bill Barr and both times you allowed the white male rethugs to get away with crimes.

I am looking at you fly-head pence. Who is such an entitled white guy that he violated all sorts of equal opportunity laws against his female employees because he is so entytgat he couldn't be in a room alone with them (kind of like an addict).

The when system stinks of rot. Just take one look at a picture of rethugs in the Senate. White male privilege.
