“With the primary season winding down and the midterms soon upon us, it’s time to point out that this election is not about what you may think it’s about. It is not a choice between the particular basket of policies offered by the candidates for House or Senate in your district or state — policies like gun control, right to choose, free trade or fiscal discipline. No, what this election is about is your first chance since 2016 to vote against Donald Trump. As far as I am concerned, that’s the only choice on the ballot. It’s a choice between letting Trump retain control of all the key levers of political power for two more years, or not. …what we’ve learned since 2016 is that the worst Democrat on the ballot for the House or Senate is preferable to the best Republican, because the best Republicans have consistently refused to take a moral stand against Trump’s undermining of our law enforcement and intelligence agencies, the State Department, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Civil Service, the basic norms of our public life and the integrity of our elections. [The Democrats] job is to get hold of at least one lever of power — the House or the Senate — in order to oust the most corrupt Republican lawmakers who lead key committees, to properly oversee the most reckless cabinet secretaries, like Scott Pruitt, and to protect the F.B.I., the Justice Department and Robert Mueller from Trump’s intimidation.”

Sounding Code Red: Electing the Trump Resistance
Thomas Friedman is finally right about something, for the first time in his life.
Literally the first time.
Look when I am reblogging Thomas Friedman to AGREE WITH HIM, the end times are upon us.
I am continually, as the Cheeto continues being himself, reminded of the bit in Going Postal where, after Horsefry has said something egregious, Gilt and Vetinari exchange a look that says “while I may loathe you and your personal philosophy to a depth unplumbable by any line, I will at least credit you with not being Crispin Horsefry.”
yes, exactly that.
And then there’s the Mister Slants who are just hanging around to milk the situation for all they can get, and are counting on their slipperiness to get them out of any consequences when everything inevitably goes to shit.
Although I think even Mr. Slant wouldn’t go as far as Mitch McConnell.
He did once but almost got burned alive and got blackmailed by William de Worde, which later appears to have taught him a lesson given that he quietly dumps the Grand Trunk people well before the equivalent of this point.
