Yes, but there are 2 Americas: There’s the one you and I have, and then there is the one that the rich privileged powerful lawyers have, where the law does not apply to them.

We need a new word. Something to describe the arrogance, audacity, chutzpah, and hubris of the self-elected sociopathic “entitled” criminal elite class.
