      They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.

              I mean if we’re talking North Atlantic countries, we should tell Italy to fuck off. And Turkey? It’s further east than Moscow!

                The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
