    You can't have Social Justice and Equal Justice at the same time,   
   they're 'mutually exclusive'.	-BMUS-   
      
   I've been saying this for a few decades and now people are discovering   
   what it means..... The Marxist-Democrats Social Justice mantra is   
   anti-U.S. Constitution rhetoric from what appears to be the enemies of   
   the United States Constitution and the American dream.

   That's Karma   
      
   *The first rule of SURVIVAL CLUB is*   
   Never trust what Democrats or Marxists tell you. Make them prove it with   
   actual verifiable facts and science. And if you didn't find the lie in   
   what the Democrat-Marxists told you then you didn't dig deep enough. The   
   *Gruber Doctrine* is the Marxist plan that says it's "to the Democrats   
   advantage to have a lack of transparency and then lie about everything".

   *The next rule of SURVIVAL CLUB is*   
   There be a protest when a Black shoots a Black, just like there is when   
   a Cop shoots a black, since all Black lives Matter.
