So those who deny it, whether they are members of the National Assembly or anyone else, are not very patriotic.
Do you need to carry cash in all your transactions? Go ahead and spend it? Don't cry, we have been holding on for seven and a half years.

The both of them are from the same hole. It doesn't bother me when they throw words at each other because they'll always find a way of settling themselves.
That's why they are dirty politicians.
**I love being me.**
