Tweet of the Late Night:




Dear news outlets trying to convince right-wingers that you’re being fair, Right-wingers don’t want you to be fair. They’ll never be satisfied. Satisfy your audience instead by telling the truth. Thanks, Mark (Jacob)

That fairness and truth and liberty and Justice for all and puppies and the 4th of July are abhorrent to conservatives?

Oh, I messed up. Conservatives pretend that the 4th of July is important to them. Which begs the question, why do conservatives display the American Flag?

It's all in the pre-sale. They use symbolism to convey a message so that
people will assume they are a certain way when their actions state otherwise.

You see someone with a cross, and there is a high likelihood they are not pious at all.
