Peace and Justice Center’s
Solid Truth
Strange times unfold before our very eyes. We managed to survive four years with a madman in the White House. He waged a full scale attack on our democratic institutions and values. Things like rule of law, truth, honor, civility and integrity, for instance.
Then, we enjoyed four years of peace, prosperity and sanity under the stewardship of President Joe Biden. Praise be to God!.
Now, hold on to your hats. The 34-time convicted felon and known rapist is back and seeks vindication – with abuse and savage cruelty. Lord, have Mercy on us.
Is He Nuts?
He told us his uncle taught the UnaBomber at MIT. (Never happened.)
He told us his father was from Germany, from Sweden AND from New Jersey. (He’s from New York.)
He’s abducting people off the streets and “disappearing” them; breaking up families; terrorizing the people. And now he wages war on Iran for not abiding by the nuclear treaty HE dissolved. He’s a mad man.
In the meantime, don’t forget to love your neighbor.
And While We’re at It
Stiffing the Banks
Yes, he stiffed the banks for nearly $300 MILLION. For some reason the banks make most of us pay back OUR loans. Why does this guy get special treatment?. How do rich folks get away with this stuff?
BLM Peace
Yes, BLM protests were mostly peaceful. When there WAS violence, generally it was directed at orderly marchers.
Gore Won
Yes, when they finally got around to counting the votes in Florida in 2000, Gore won.
Release Epstein Files
Yes, Donald Trump, Jr. DID call for a release of the Epstein list. Now, not so much; eh?
Blackmailed by Russia?
Yes, Robert Mueller was forced to admit under oath that Russian indeed DOES have blackmail on the rapist. I remember when right wingers were positively AGHAST at what they saw as Bill Clinton’s being vulnerable to blackmail.
Defense Sec's Speak
Those ten former secretaries are: Ashton Carter, Dick Cheney, William Cohen, Mark Esper, Robert Gates, Chuck Hagel, James Mattis, Leon Panetta, William Perry and Donald Rumsfeld.
Racist Too?
Yes, undercover government investigators posed as potential tenants at Trump Organization properties. Those who were white were given their choice of apartments to rent, while those who were Black or Puerto Rican were turned away.
COVID Hoax?
“There’s no question that the president described the disease as the Democrats’ “new hoax” at a political rally on Feb. 28 in South Carolina.”
