"Why, were they acting in an obstructionist manner over legislation that had strong public support in the last 8 years? I hadn't heard that, maybe you have links?"

Certainly.

there are many more. Republicans blocked a great number of bills that had strong public support. You need to listen more, I guess.

"Or maybe you are claiming that these congresspersons have dealt with the level of publicity for their voting records that Obama has dealt with over last 8 years; again, links or you're talking out of anus"

Not even sure what this means. Regardless, I answered the first part.

However, to Iron Man's point

Young M's

When I was a teenager, I had a paperroute, got chased by dogs at 5 AM. My dad told me to take the lawnmower and edger and get jobs cutting gas. I had to buy the gas (but got to use the mower for free). I built loudspeakers by winding coils for the crossover in my garage, and making an RC dual band two way crossover with any oscilloscope. I built the cabinets in my Grandpas garage, and used my moms Sansui stereo to test. I sold several, one to a teacher at school. I was a nerd carrying my loudspeaker boxes to 11th grade electronics class.

Then the lawyers came around and canceled woodworking, metalworking.
At this point the kids had a tendency to become democrats, and it was harder for them to think for themselves. The lack of woodshop, metalshop cause a "committee groupthink" that evidently still plagues democrats today.

I joined the Navy, because I was tending towards a liberal arts degree. I saved money on the GI bill for college. Litterally all of my demo friends went into liberal arts, and found college hard.

Manufacturing was still high in the 1980s, so that Cal States tuition was supplemented greatly by receipts from California massive high tech TV/Car/Computer/Appliance industry. My tuition was $328.50 the first semester, and the last semester it was just over $400. I made it though CompSci Digital Logic, Electromagnetics (Calc and Diff EQ were not bad in comparison).

Now I see O'crats everywhere - they wonder why they cant make good $$ on liberal arts degrees, (but to be fair many people shunned the arts degrees to get into tech).

Now the O'crats believe the MSM, dont even know or care about Ukraine or the surging Chinese occupation.

“I see this march as a way to make myself visible in the movement against Trump.” ― Summana, 31, N.Y.

On election night, I was sick to my stomach and I immediately thought, “What can I do?” I voted, but it wasn’t enough. I see this march as a way to make myself visible in the movement against Trump, to make sure he doesn’t ruin the country.

I’m going to take the bus in for the day. So far, I’m going alone, but I’m trying to convince my mother and some friends to come with me. Either way, I feel like I have to march because I’m frightened. I’m black. I’m Muslim. I don’t wear the hijab

“I’m definitely a Trump-generated, new-wave feminist.” ― Tristan, 17, N.Y.

I’m definitely a Trump-generated, new-wave feminist. As a teenage boy, feminism hadn’t been on my radar much before the election. But I had been a longstanding member of a social inclusion/anti-bullying committee at my school and was struck by the fact that had a student uttered any of Trump’s insulting comments, he or she would have been called out by teachers or fellow students.

I am going to march arm-in-arm with my amazing mother ― who I affectionately call “Commando Mom,”

--------------
Yes, Commando mom, because she fights his battles for him; It's a miracle that this guy hasn't had his face pummeled in.

“I’m a single mom. I want my daughter to see that I’m fighting.” ― Ellie, 41, Minn.

I’m a single mom. My daughter is 12. I definitely think that electing a person who so blatantly, obviously doesn’t respect women sets a tone that threatens women of all ages. I’m very vocal with my daughter about my expectations of public servants, and I tell her that having public leaders conduct themselves in the way Donald Trump has is not, and should not be normal. It is not OK.

Fighting is exactly what drove the father away; We know Ellie is a fighter, but we have no idea what she's fighting for

West Orange don't work cheap you know..

West Orange mostly sucks balls. It's everything that's wrong with NIMBYism. No train service, Lack of modern housing stock, lack of retail businesses, highest property taxes in Essex county, super high HOA fees, no appreciation, terrible schools, terrible resale value for home(most homes here for sale need 100K to make up-to-date), detached garage homes when it's 17 degrees in morning. If things work out long term, rather live in Livingston or one of caldwells. Only good thing about West Orange is that it is relatively safe and close to 280 though, which makes door to door pretty easy.

I actually like the petco on route 70 much better than the dump across the road from where I live at essex green.

My landlord is losing 800 bucks/month renting to my wife and I, because there is virtually no demand for short-term rentals and even the long-term rental marked is limited.

Ironman says

They charge higher costs because they can,

Right, but that is also true in California, specifically, that they can charge more, which is still cheaper at $4.00 +change/ gallon, despite subsidies on gas in New Jersey. California not as well-penetrated by public transportation as NY/NJ, MTA, Path, NJTransit etc.

Your lover, Gov. Moonbeam, wants to fuck over the CA residents to help pay for his government employee's FREEBIES.

It's kicking can down the road; the root of problem, as someone here mentioned is double dipping and the deficits many cities are running, which are unsustainable, no matter how many jobs California generates on an aggregate basis.

plus those doctors in West Orange

if doctors are the only thing driving economy, that might help to explain why the place is so fucked. For anyone with a family, Livingston or Caldwells better. West Orange isn't even that much cheaper unless you are on the side of town bordering Orange, which is a mediocre crowd.

Easier to buy a house, but not a place where you would want to live 30 years to pay down mortgage, only to be stuck with super high taxes and HOA fees. As much as I like an attached 2 car garage home, single family would be the way to go, especially when you live in a community where the HOA is as sneaky as these guys are.

Real Estate is a favored asset class with a generational bias. It is protected by law, by banks, and by the Fed (which is neither).

The Baby Boom is telling the Millenimules that they have to change their expectations and lifestyles. They should expect to double and triple-up in tiny rentals. Double and triple-up on degrees. Double and triple-up on non-real estate debt. Ironically, they are also demanding that those Millenials keep paying for the boomer social security.

Just before Bastille Day, the French aristocrats were also screaming that the huddled masses should shut up and work harder. The powdered wigs came off voluntarily. The heads weren't so fortunate.

"Putin added that the allegations were “obvious fabrications,” Bloomberg reported.

The reason you could not understand what I was saying in second part is because you completely misinterpreted first part of what I said. Try to keep up.

I said if these guys behave in an obstructionist manner they would have problems dealing with an unprecedented level of negative publicity that these individual congress persons have not experienced.

You said: they haven't had any problem over last 8 years.

You then started talking about republicans behaving in an obstructionist manner.

Most of these congresspersons boycotting inauguration aren't prominent in the party, with few exceptions.

“If we discover that Donald Trump or his advocates played a role to help provide strategy — if they’re the ones who came up with ‘Crooked Hillary,’ if they’re the ones who came up with, ‘she’s ill, something’s wrong with her energy,’ and the way that he basically described her during the campaign — I think that is something that would put the question squarely on the table whether or not he should be impeached.”

During the lead up to the French Revolution, the 3rd Estate (peasants) were made to pay taxes on land while there was multiple exemptions for land tax for the wealthy. The size of the government of France was so expensive, and mostly concentrated in Paris, that like today in the US, the far reaching counties far from the city center were revolting. That the Nobles exempted themselves from tax, that the Clergy also were overbearing, that the workers had to pay so much tax while they struggled built up in the 3rd Estate a revolutionary spirit. That the 3rd Estate also had to provide so much of their crops to the landowners was also a terrible thing, being a huge burden. Stories from DeToqueville "Ancienne Regime" talk of farmers bringing their crops to market, meeting a the land owner along the way and being forced to turn over a good amount of his crops on the spot. On the way back from the market, the farmer/peasant was met by a government official to collect one of 4-5 taxes including the land tax. The Royals and their minions were constantly changing the laws to collect more and more taxes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taille

If the governments role in outsourcing a great number of jobs, from the people geographically located in the midwest, far from city center is not a coincidence, but a result of the elitism in cities that existed in 1500-1700 France, that also exists today in US cities. It warrants a study of the "busy work" in cities, of the Lawyers, Intendants, Humanities Majors, vs those who work the land, make saws and semiconductors vs paper and laws.

A read of Montesquieu and D Tocqueville is more than enlightening.

I think you need a writing class. Your overuse of the pronoun "they" makes it impossible to determine your point.

You implied that, if Dems acted in an obstructionist manner, the negative publicity would hurt them. I simply replied that the Republicans did for the last 8 years exactly what you are saying would harm the Dems, and they paid no price for it. Easy parallel to see.

Hillary Clinton's campaign never endorsed the birther movement. It was a rumor on the fringe. Repeating that movement actually was done by Trump.

Not only did the Hillary Camp begin the Birth Certificate rumors, her camp never denied circulating the Obama in Muslim Garb Photo. There are leaked memos showing that Hillary was determined to paint Obama as "Not Really American", while saying she was "Born in Middle America to the Middle Class (SNORT)"

Completely unrealistic.

Both teams are outstanding. Even with a great last 2 minutes, and having the kicker complete 2 > 50 yd field goals in the last seconds, this was a nearly even match, essentially a draw.
