As to Liz C, can we say “Pay Off”?
I’m sure they each feel entitled, like celebrities (in their own mind).
Our country has it upside down by allowing celebrity status for these grifters. They should be just the caretakers of the details of laws US society has agreed on.
It’s like elevating sports referees or umpires above the star players. A sports league succeeds because the public wants to see the rare talents of the star players. The refs/umps just help the game go smoothly and in the best case are not noticed.
Not quite true.
