Yay! Morning thread just in time for me to post some nonsense washpo apparently wrote about Rubio....which I guess I can't actually quote cause pixy but basically they knocked him for selling a house for less than he paid for it.
Gosh, geniuses. Did anything happen to the real estate market in Florida that might have made the house sell for less than when Rubio initially bought it? Idiots. Rubio has campaign shirts out, btw. Posted by: Lea at July 02, 2015 08:08 AM (vmMMi) 5

___________________ Yes, almost anyone who bought a house in Florida (or Arizona or Nevada) in the past 15 years or so is selling it today for less than they paid for it.

This is an odd piece over at the WSJ.
Trying to find a silver lining in obamacare. An ObamaCare-Inspired Rebellion The law is driving people into high-deductible plans, inadvertently seeding a consumer-driven market. ...As millions of Americans move onto high-deductible plans, they will change their behavior---and the incentives of the market. Under these plans, in a typical year consumers will pay most, if not all, of their health-care expenses out of pocket. Since they will be spending their own money, they will compare prices for checkups and procedures. Providers will have to earn their business on the basis of quality, price and service, the way companies do in the other four-fifths of the U.S. economy. Competition has the potential to transform America's sclerotic, overpriced health-care system into something much more transparent and affordable. ... In a dramatic twist, ObamaCare seems to be accidentally driving many of the changes that its critics sought all along. If we don't seize the opportunity that high-deductible plans offer to fix much of what's wrong with medicine, frustrated patients will clamor for more government regulation, squashing the beginnings of a health-care revolution in the making. http://on.wsj.com/1CM0WcA Just get rid of it.

THIS. Putting aside Trump's past baggage, the fact is that he is saying the things that need to be said, albeit maybe inartfully and crudely, and it resonates with me and many of us who are desperate for anyone to say it and stand up for it. I am a Cruz and Walker supporter, but if the Left, the GOP-e and the MFM are attacking and destroying someone - even Donald Trump - I will stand with that person. Even Donald Trump. Posted by: J.J.

Posted by: artisanal 'ette at July 02, 2015 08:23 AM (qCMvj) Washington DC will never reform itself. Aside from Jeff Sessions, Mike Lee, Louie Gohmert and a handful of other decent people, the entire government top down is corrupt and the IRS is its key weapon to keep it that way. Article V is the only legal, non-violent way for the States and therefore the people to wrest their power back from the thieves who stole it. The efficacy and probability that it can be implemented is another issue. Posted by: J.J. Sefton at July 02, 2015 08:34 AM (St6BJ) 104

Is Trump any more a clown than any one else? Who determines clown status? The media? They're the biggest clown show of all! What did Trump say that was inaccurate?
Posted by: Hadoop at July 02, 2015 08:27 AM (2X7pN) I saw him being interviewed yesterday, and also a phone in on Greta, and I think he's realizing that "sh*t's getting real." He loves to promote himself and he's good at self-PR, but I bet you he didn't expect this support from the country. The more the left bullies him, the more support he gets. The more the left mentions his name (even Jeb! said something about Trump donating to him at one point, or something). They are all getting scared. His name keeps bubbling to the top. The GOP won't give him the nod, so I'm curious to see what will happen. Posted by: artisanal 'ette at July 02, 2015 08:36 AM (qCMvj) Posted by: J.J. Sefton at July 02, 2015 08:36 AM (St6BJ) 114

I have a different take. The reason the Leftist institutions are losing their collective sh!t is because people *do* listen to Trump. I'm seeing a lot of LIVs who say "I don't think I'd ever vote for him as president, but I like what he's saying" about a lot of stuff. So then he comes out and says, "Oh, and Illegal Immigration is bad, too." Well, since LIVs are already predisposed to at least listen to what he has to say, that might actually get through. So the Left has to demagogue him and call him crazy-pants. They have to destroy him, lest the truth be heard by the LIVs. If what he'd said was inaccurate, they'd be ridiculing him. Instead they're trying to destroy him. Posted by: AllenG (DedicatedTenther) - Not dead yet at July 02, 2015 08:37 AM (kff5f) 118

#117, AllenG -- That's not really a "different take." I'm sure you realize that the image of teh Donald (his political statements aside) is closer to "buffoon" than "statesman." Cue the "you're fired!" jokes here....
I have yet to hear anyone -- including Ooneeveeshun, Macy's and Bill de Commie-O -- honestly refute a word Trump says. Instead, they express outrage and act as if he's Not Serious. I expect a Thoughtful Examination of Trump, concluding of course that he's Not Serious -- to come from Poppin' Fresh's mouth any day now. Let it be said that I dislike Trump, not as a person -- don't know him -- but as an opportunist who has vaulted himself to a position far above his pay grade.

Posted by: HAL 9000 at July 02, 2015 08:31 AM (VcOqI) Eh, this is a structural/sociological problem with the Middle Class- the very things that make us middle class - obeying the law, education, strong impulse control, ability to learn from experience and predict outcomes, strong benefit vs cost analysis, plugged into our communities, raising families, generally religious, working hard for ourselves and our families- make us very very poor revolutionaries or even effective protestors. That's why the Democrat/Progtard/Commie tactic or constant continuing division is so effective. If the Middle Class ever really and truly got it's act together- and voted our interests en masse....well, things would be different. And if our betters ignored us, (as now) so that we had no alternative but take to the streets... ...well, it's not hard to imagine the effectiveness of a widespread middle class protest or revolution given the traits stated up above. But again, those very traits make it unlikely, short of complete catastrophe.

No, the Average person does not consider Donald Trump a clown. Only conservative political junkies do so. He never comes off as a clown on the Apprentice, he comes off - to the average person - as an executive in charge. The last "clown" we ran was Ronald Reagan.

That's just it, I don't think he is seen as "a buffoon," which would imply someone who is stupid as well as oafish. I think they agree that he's over-the-top and, well, oafish, but I don't think that LIVs see him as stupid. Most of them wish they had his money. About half of them, maybe a little more, wish they had his wife. That, I think, is where both parties see the danger. Sure, people see him as a carnival barker - but people listen to carnival barkers, else carnivals would not employ them.

Interesting thing it is only in our "previous" political environment (relatively free and constrained by a mutually agreed upon set of rules/laws) where a Middle Class can flourish. As that environment is bulldozed into oblivion by the left, the emergent environment and the remnants of that former Middle Class might come into real serious conflict. But probably not, it would be a lot of work fraught with danger, so the frogs just keep swimming in the ever warmer water and blaming it on Global Warming!

27 This is an odd piece over at the WSJ.
Trying to find a silver lining in obamacare. An ObamaCare-Inspired Rebellion The law is driving people into high-deductible plans, inadvertently seeding a consumer-driven market. ...As millions of Americans move onto high-deductible plans, they will change their behavior---and the incentives of the market. Under these plans, in a typical year consumers will pay most, if not all, of their health-care expenses out of pocket. Since they will be spending their own money, they will compare prices for checkups and procedures. Providers will have to earn their business on the basis of quality, price and service, the way companies do in the other four-fifths of the U.S. economy. Competition has the potential to transform America's sclerotic, overpriced health-care system into something much more transparent and affordable. ... In a dramatic twist, ObamaCare seems to be accidentally driving many of the changes that its critics sought all along. If we don't seize the opportunity that high-deductible plans offer to fix much of what's wrong with medicine, frustrated patients will clamor for more government regulation, squashing the beginnings of a health-care revolution in the making. http://on.wsj.com/1CM0WcA Just get rid of it.

@27 WSJ is all lies. Medicare, Medicaid, Champus etc all have fee schedules. The fee schedules are tied to the lousy CPT and ICD codes. They are all different. That is why doctors and nurses etc can work all day and never know if they made any money. The system works off what the payer mix has typically been, but now there is no way of knowing. Thus rural hospitals shutting down faster than you can count. Docs moving to hospital employment, hospitals reducing docs salaries and firing staff. The only people making money are the compliance people. The docs need to go GALT.

Was. It's rapidly "gentrifying". The projects were torn down about 10 years ago and new $750K-$1M townhouses (with section 8 and "workforce set-asides" built in it's place. The rest of it is all office buildings, apartments, and Nationals Stadium. All the shit that made it sleazy (nightclubs, etc.) have been torn down.

Why, we're celebrating every American's innate independent spirit that makes him/her/Caitlyn bristle at the very notion of living under an overbearing central government.
At least 51% of Americans are happy with an overbearing Government so long as it provides them with gay marriage and an EBT card. Posted by: Gregory of Yardale at July 02, 2015 09:20 AM (O7MnT) 275

I hope Trump manages to turn this on the PC crowd. I hope he has dirt on some very powerful people. This is all out of control. Qualified for president - we never get that anymore.

270 Gadsden flags for July 4th.

"270 Gadsden flags for July 4th."
Mine is back up in the picture window. I was thinking yesterday that the Nazis might have just made the CBF the symbol of the resistance. I like the Gadsden flag, but I could go with the CBF without any problem. Today I'm thinking it's probably very stupid to identify myself with any sort of resistance.
