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".       https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G790p0LcgbI                            *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.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
