I guess this fits here. Last Tuesday which is glass day I put out my green recycle bin out as usual and then went to mu physical therapy session. By the time I returned home it had gotten very windy out. Turns out after the bin was emptied the wind blew it out in the street and it must have been hit by a truck as it was in many pieces scattered along the road. So I put all the pieces in the Friday yellow bin for plastic.  The trash people wouldn't take as the bins are not made of recyclable plastic, Hows that for irony. The recycle bins are not recyclable. They will not take anything made of PVC either. And od course the city is out of recycle bins so I have to find one myself.

High winds today. Saw a small suv with a large kayak mounted on top edgewise. a rolling sail vehicle with a paddle boat for a sail. I don't know. Maybe it's just me. Maybe it's not ironic. Maybe there's a secret meaning. Magic takes time. Mystery takes longer. something. Maybe it was a science experiment or the only way to mount it without causing lift off. Just a little tack will do thanks.

These are all passive, I prefer active measures anyway. Power to the Op-Amp!

does it work that way with "the resistance" too?
because if it does...

Whatever your question... he's your answer.

It's disingenuous to assert that the ex-President of the United States isn't part of the Establishment. He's not a respected part of it, but that's a different question.

Yeah, could be since it takes one to know one.

But not in my book.

Also, anything but a "common guy"... some would even say he is 'elite'.

That said, Trump is a lot of things but The Establishment ?  He is anything but.

Because "the establishment" is such a squishy concept that everybody gets to define it any way they like.

There are many different forms of power and many different people wielding it, all with different points of view. Characterizing some group of them as "the establishment", as if they were a monolith and the only center of power is lazy sophistry.

If Trump is the establishment, then why is the establishment fighting so hard to keep him from getting elected ?

OBTW ... Harris currently has $1 Billion in her campaign fund with three weeks to go.

He IS the establishment - just packaged to make people like you think he's not so they can keep milking the system.

Rock stars for the establishment.
