Environmental, economic, obstructionist, suppression of the vote, gerrymandering, anti-science, gun nuttery, and just plain stupidity resentments. I could go on, but you get the idea. It's a formula for success, hopefully.

When they get their own tactics thrown back in their faces.

Coincidentally, I am rewatching "Capitalism: A Love Story" right now. At this moment, in footage borrowed from "Roger and Me," auto workers are walking out of a plant after just having lost their jobs. Resentment? Yeah, you could call it that.

is that most of the comments the comments section are in full agreement and one especially irritating poster suggested that President Obama should apologize for what has done. Talk about balls! I was so pissed I wanted to post a nasty response but unfortunately you cannot post anything on that website unless you subscribe to the paper. That's right, you actually have to pay tell them what ass@@@s they are!
