If your first or second paragraph starts with the phrase “Let’s face it”, a jump colon, and the point you are attempting to make, I have no interest in reading what you have to say.
Let’s face it: you are an idiot and are trying to make your opinion look like an already-substantiated fact that people are possibly unwilling to accept. Also, there is a time and a place for stock phrases, but “let’s face it” is just garbage.

Let’s face it: anything following a jump colon must be believed. It’s just irresistible punctuation.

You don’t want to face it together with me? ;(
