It's actually Ruben Bolling. Super-Fun-Pak Comix has been running as individual strips on GoComics for a while now.

I don't get the "alt-left" conservative meme. Is it supposed to be a slur? Is it proof that the reclamation of the socialist label is working? Why choose an insult that equivocates your opposition with a group you've shown a high degree of acceptance towards?

A while back I had the honour of exploring a Jewish history museum in Manhattan which had a very heart rending and informative display about how Jewish people in the 30s abused the hell out of the US immigration system to get Jewish people out of Germany. Basically they claimed that unrelated people with similar surnames were relatives for the purpose of sponsoring them as immigrants. Many lives were saved this way. All were illegal immigrants of course! The right today would want to send them straight back.

Modern right wing Jews would want to send them back too because country's loving full, gently caress you got mine and there might be some Falashas in the mix there or Palestinians lying about being Jewish, can't have that. Hail lord Netanyahu.

It's like when you have a parent telling their crying child "Well, I WAS going to buy you that toy, but you're being a baby, so no." - Motherfucker, you were never going to do that, you're just pulling excuses out of your rear end.

A couple weeks ago up in Pittsburgh, protestors had blocked off one of the bridges over the Muslim Ban, and all of the commentators were "Well inconveniencing MY daily commute isn't going to earn my support. Why can't you protest at home where I can ignore you?"
You live in Pittsburgh, were you really not planning to encounter construction or some sort of big traffic delay in the first place?

Sort of to the first part, no to the second. The Heritage Foundation plan was created so the Republicans could point to their alternative to Hillarycare. The Republicans never intended to pass it, because they don't want universal coverage to begin with. And they never did pass it.

Also, the only thing the Heritage plan and the ACA have in common is the mandate. The Republicans are quite right to hate the ACA, at least from their worldview.
