   *IF YOU'RE READING THIS YOU ARE A SURVIVOR*   
   *The first rule of SURVIVAL CLUB* is we talk about it, we hate   
   censorship. 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 duplicitous lies in what the Marxist-Democrats told you then   
   you didn't dig deep enough. The *Gruber* *Doctrine* is the   
   Marxist-Democrat 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   
   38.1 - The problem with the Democrats story is that "a story is like a   
   bowl of Nancy Pelosi's designer ice-cream" it only takes a little dab of   
   bullshit to ruin the whole thing.
