    tI's especially funny when Facebook feels the need to fact check the Babylon Bee, as they do from time to time.

    I love the Babylon Bee, and also The Onion.

    We have threads for regular jokes and for political memes, but satire, like from the Babylon Bee, does not quite fit anywhere; so I am starting this thread for satire links and posts.

    There was already a post that Dwight had put in a joke thread, so I moved it here, too, and that is why it is showing up as the first post in this thread.

    The best political satirist of all time was Mort Sahl !

    He was still around at 90 as of 2018. "What good is an election that you can't steal?"

    Mort Sahl In Conversation With Elliot Mintz, 2015
    The dates are screwed up in some way. In 2015 Sahl would have been in his late 80s. That's obviously not the case here.

    Did you watch the video? Yeah, neither did I. :D:D (But if you scroll to the middle or so, you'll see Mort and he's definitely 80s or so.

    I watched it all and many more of Mort Sahl, just not that particular one from the beginning before commenting. Stop giving me a hard time, Beth Gallagher. I'll sic Barney on you.
