Keep a magic marker in your pocket, and if you suddenly 'feel an urge' to scrawl FUBO & Molon Labe on something,

Dear PETA Isn’t it wonderful when both sides realize you are idiots and everyone ignores you???

This is way to funny to just let go. Even the hard core left liberals are acting like you don’t exist.

In this case, liberals lie that guns are only for hunting and then make other liberals mad. Some lies are better than other lies, I guess.
