Former Republican Pennsylvania Senator and presidential candidate Rick Santorum has said that Ohio’s vote to back abortion rights and marijuana legalisation shows that “pure democracies are not the way to run a country”.

The rightwing commentator, who was booted from CNN after making disparaging comments about Native Americans, appeared on the far-right network Newsmax on Tuesday night to take part in its election coverage.

Turds and lube, turds and lube, everybody hates those turds and lube!

I was very confused, as I had heard of the Latin sanctorum meaning "holy" before.

It has a comedic value to attribute something rather opposite to the true meaning of the word, but mostly confusing.
