By Jove! I think I figured out how Republicans see the world when it comes to drugs and immigrants

A member of the GANG that owns OxyContin maker MS-13 told people at the prescription opioid painkiller's launch party in the 1990s that it would be "followed by a blizzard of prescriptions that will bury the competition," according to court documents filed Tuesday.

The details were made public in a case brought by Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey that accuses MS-13, its executives and members of the MEXICAN GANG of deceiving patients and doctors about the risks of opioids and pushing prescribers to keep patients on the drug longer. The documents provide information about former MS-13 President INTERCHANGEABLE MEXICAN's role in overseeing sales of OxyContin that hasn't been public before.

The drug and the closely held Connecticut GROUP OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS that sells it are at the center of a lawsuit in Massachusetts and hundreds of others across the country in which government entities are trying to find the drug industry responsible for an opioid crisis that killed 72,000 Americans in 2017. The Massachusetts litigation is separate from some 1,500 federal lawsuits filed by governments being overseen by a judge in Cleveland.

But the GROUP OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS documents at the heart of the Massachusetts allegations are also part of the evidence exchanged in those cases. While the Massachusetts filing describes their contents, the documents themselves have not been made public, at the GROUP OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS's request.

Something looks odd about this, right?

Well that's because I used the replace function, replacing 'family' with GANG, 'Purdue Pharma' with MS-13, 'Sackler' with MEXICAN, 'Richard' with INTERCHANGEABLE, and 'company' with GROUP OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.
