I've traveled quite a bit and have lived in different countries. The first thing I learned about a country's culture was decorum.
In the field of medicine, for example, someone at the top of his profession in Germany is "Herr Professor Doctor So and So." In Scotland it's "Mr. So and So." In Japan it's "So and So Sensei" with a deep bow. Posters here can add to the list of other countries' "formal" decorum.
Congressman Jaime Raskin is a constitutional law professor and was a legal advisor for Jesse Jackson's Rainbow Coalition before he worked his way up the political ladder into the House of Representatives.
In any country I can think of outside the US, Raskin's professional background is one that earns him respect, with a title of Representative, Professor, or Dr. Raskin. But according to the US DoJ Pam Bondi, Congressman Raskin is "a washed up loser lawyer, he's not even a lawyer." You cant buy a baguette in all of France without Bon jour, Monsieur et Madame, and Im having to pay for Bondis vulgar mouth?
Attorney General Bondis shockingly crude outbursts throughout the hearing are unacceptable most anywhere in the world. Other countries would consider her so pedestrian, she could win Olympic gold playing handball against the side of a curb. She is remarkably displaced in a public position that calls for dignity, respect and decorum, of which she has none. She reflects very badly on the US, as does Donald Trump, her mentor.
I look forward to the day when we get the disrespect--name calling, threats, screaming, interruptions, belittling and bullying --out of our culture, so we can reflect the traditional, if not universal, expectations of the role into which we're placed, as earned through hard work and merit.
What I saw from Bondi today was a miscarriage of her role in Justice. She couldn't even bring herself to address the female victims that she is sworn to protect. I can only assume she was hand-picked by Putin because she is turning the US into a feudal backwater, just as Vlad would wish.
This is not who we are. Indeed, nobody is unless its spawned from the Trump administration.

There is no better "real" America out there of which Bondi is anomolous. She is a mirror.
We have a lot of work to do. Winning the next election is necessary, to be sure, but insufficient. We need a better society.
