The Founding Fathers had access to time travel and knew our debt would never become a serious problem.

Fun fact, Thomas Jefferson wrote about how great a balanced budget amendment would be not 5 years before making the Louisiana Purchase on credit.

Wait, have we never actually had a "nonsense, this is an election year" category? Huge oversight if so.

"Enjoying the day off, Bob?" Gorrell didn't know what his neighbor meant, and then looked at his calendar. Oh right! People that have to do work get today off. Better dig up an oldie before the editor gets mad.

Has the phrase "states rights" ever been used for something besides discriminating a group of people?

I think in 2004, when Massachusetts legalized gay marriage and Republicans were talking about overturning it with a constitutional amendment, there were supporters who argued that it was a state issue and they should be left alone. Very few people are consistent about states' rights, but a lot of people will grab the banner when it helps their side. Kind of like Liberal Conservative Man:

I thought the same thing, actually. Brilliant dark humor that Gorrell certainly didn't intend.

Was going to post the same. I'm not even sure if it's AGC* or if that's exactly what it's meant to be, for an idiot conservative like Gorrell it's not too far fetched to think that he wanted to make a tasteless connection to dead G.I's.

I can't promise it will live up to the hype, but I tried my best.

Ramirez has made multiple comics about Greece, but he's been pretty "poo poo man we need to fix this" about them. With that context in mind, maybe Ramirez actually thinks Sanders would turn Greece around?

Nah, nevermind, too much thought devoted to Ramirez.

Go on then. Do it. Do something the Wolverines would do. Not drawing graffiti on the White House in your lovely webcomic. Something real. Something tangible. Something that demonstrates you are truly courageous and dedicated in your resistance of the foreign communist authoritarian that has invaded America.

I parse this as "It's Illegal immigration therefore all illegal immigrants are criminals therefore Donald Trump was correct when he said Mexico is deliberately sending rapists and drug-dealer criminals to America."

I can also parse a sort of bizarro "Give us your huddled masses, keep the criminals" angle.

No matter which way you slice it, Lester is actually cheer-leading Donald Trump. That's something literally no one else will do if they are not a background actor getting paid $50 or his daughter trying to stay in good favor for inheritance.

Trump is getting killed by this, already several Republican latino organizations have demanded either an apology from him or the GOP to issue some kind of reprimand. The best part is the blowback isn't hitting just him, the other candidates are getting smeared for not calling him out on it, and in addition the democratic candidates are able to make hay on how he represents the Republican party and how out of touch they are. Really a perfect storm of insanity and exactly what I expected when he entered the race.

It feels not entirely unrealistic to consider this a race between Clinton and Sanders. I feel like we're all supposed to see Jeb! as the inevitable Republican candidate, like Romney was last time, but the Republican primary seems like a contest to be the candidate that the electorate works out its remaining anger toward W on and then passed over in the general.
