It's starting to get out of control and affect them more. But at the same time they're using these grifters as tools to spread their propaganda and continue to dupe the average American.

The real issue is that these people rarely get the same punishment as us normal people.

These people have no reason to worry about any of that because their cult of personality is always there to bail them out and pay for everything. Justice is never blind when she can feel the scales tipped by cash.
