I’m sorry but doesn’t “dropped *more* than 100%” mean people not only did not contribute but actually took back their contributions???

Pete is lost in terms of modern war. I use the example of this outgunned Ukrainian army officer who successfully terrorized a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math." At the time, someone commented, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."
Ukrainian female soldier: Okay, I said the idea is this: There is enough time to empty one full can of 32 grenades and be gone by the time the return mortar fire reaches us. I did the math.

This is some weird amalgamation of target fixation and conspiracy brain, where you get so fixated and certain on a conclusion that you don’t realize you are about to fall face first into a pile of shit.

Hmmm… I wonder if any president has ever held a convention before the midterms and then went on a campaign trying to make the midterm elections about himself in an effort to save his floundering presidency, and how that worked out? Oh…..
The Campaign and Election of 1866
Although not a presidential election, the off-year congressional election of 1866 was in fact a referendum election for President Andrew Johnson.
By the summer of 1866, Johnson had lost support within the Republican Party for his Reconstruction policies. (See the Domestic Affairs section for details.) After a unity meeting of 7,000 delegates at the National Union Convention-which met in Philadelphia on August 14—failed to bridge the growing gap between Johnson and the Republicans, the determined President decided to take the issue to the people.
Beginning on August 28, accompanied by such notables as Civil War hero Admiral David Farragut, President Johnson launched an unprecedented speaking tour in the hopes of regaining public and political support. He traveled from Philadelphia to New York City, then through upstate New York and west to Ohio before heading back to Washington, D.C. This "swing around the circle" was marked by an intemperate campaign style in which Johnson personally attacked his Republican opponents in vile and abusive language reminiscent of his Tennessee stump speech harangues.In the end, the campaign was a disaster for Johnson. One observer later said that the President lost one million
Northern voters as a result of his tour.
In the congressional elections, the anti-Johnson Republicans won two-thirds of both houses, thus sealing Johnson's doom and giving his opponents enough power to override his programs. Later, the House of Representatives, in voting its articles of impeachment against Johnson, would charge him with disgracing his office by attempting to appeal directly to the people for support in the 1866 elections-something that was considered to be demagogic and beneath the dignity of a President at the time.

Yup, absolutely. I think it’s wrong to treat the Iran War as simply one bad error that happened to the Trump Admin rather than the entirely logical consequence of the way it operates. If it wasn’t Iran, it would almost certainly have been something else

If GA and NC are shaping up to be double-digit wins for Dems, we are in a world where 54 seats for Dems and the GOP losing the MT/ID/NE to independents is plausible even if not likely.
