What "usual showman performances" are you referring to? When has Trump ever done well in the debates? As for Trump's charisma...has he ever been a popular president? Remember in 2018 when the economy was doing well and voters slammed the Republicans? That's some potent charisma he's got.

From that article: Excitement among Harris voters now outpaces excitement among Trump voters, according to an Aug. 25-28 USA Today/Suffolk University poll of likely voters that found 68% of Harris supporters are “very excited” to vote for her, compared to 60% of Trump voters. In June, before Harris launched her campaign, just 30% of President Joe Biden’s supporters said they were “very excited” about voting for him, compared to 59% of Trump supporters who said the same about the former president, USA Today/Suffolk polling found. https://news.gallup.com/poll/645836/record-share-electorate-pro-choice-voting.aspx

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- A record-high 32% of U.S. voters say they would only vote for a candidate for major office who shares their views on abortion. The importance of a candidate’s abortion stance to one’s vote is markedly higher among pro-choice voters than it was during the 2020 presidential election cycle, while pro-life voters’ intensity about voting on the abortion issue has waned. Also, voters’ greater intensity on the issue today compared with 2020 is explained mainly by Democrats, while Republicans and independents have shown little change. https://news.gallup.com/poll/645836/record-share-electorate-pro-choice-voting.aspx

Once again, it's not just about the percentage of of women it's important to, but how it affects actual turnout. And really, a 175% jump in young black women registering to vote would have happened anyway? And all the other jumps in voter registration would have happened anyway?

Where was that media machine during those special elections? And all those young people registering to vote including a 175% jump in young black women's registration numbers? Trump's lunacy in addressing abortion including the allegation that Democrats support post birth abortion is not going to help him one bit. Quite the contrary. All the Democrats have to do is show Trump enthusiastically claiming credit for the overturning of Roe v Wade. And his bizarre assertion that everyone wanted to end Roe v Wade but only he could do it. No way he can run away from all that.

If it was just about Democrats hatred for Trump then why did the poll numbers jump after Harris replaced Biden? Why did Democratic voter registrations particularly for young people jump after Harris replaced Biden? As for " if he's smart he'd realise that that ship has sailed,", given his ridiculous attempts to mitigate his disadvantage when it comes to abortion, the evidence about his intelligence is clear enough.

Because part of polling is determining the turnout rates for different cohorts. And in those special races, it looks like that is what happened. And why would Trump be running scared and foolish on the abortion issue if he didn't see it as a threat?

Do these unhinged words look familiar? "Kamala Harris is so offensive even her own father saw fit to publish a public rebuke for her attempt to paint herself in the colours of identity politics by claiming to be a weed smoker She has not just offended her own father, but many others. Her total abandonment of any principles and flip flopping on every topic offendes common decency, she is clearly only out to get elected. And yet the Democrat fan boys follow her blindly. What can one respect here?"

But it's also possible times have changed. After the Supreme Court's Dobb decision, Democrats way over performed what the polls predicted for special elections. So it may be that the polls are actually undercounting support for Harris this time.

I don't know about the thugs, but what don't you understand about the fact that the labour councilor has not yet been sentenced? Don't you think it might possibly be more sensible to wait until sentencing is passed before protesting an outcome that has yet to come to pass?

You sure about that? Turkey And The West: A Parenthesis Or A Historical Shift? A poll conducted in December 2022 by the Turkish company Gezici found that 72.8% of Turkish citizens polled were in favor of good relations with Russia. By comparison, nearly 90% perceive the United States as a hostile country. It also revealed that 24.2% of citizens believe that Russia is hostile, while 62.6% believe that Russia is a friendly country. https://www.hoover.org/research/turkey-and-west-parenthesis-or-historical-shift Survey: Majority of Turks don't see the US as their ally Shortly after President Biden called the events of 1915 “genocide”, a poll suggested that a vast majority of Turkish people no longer consider the US an ally. https://www.trtworld.com/magazine/survey-majority-of-turks-don-t-see-the-us-as-their-ally-46437 Apart from the US support for Israel, You think the Turks have forgotten or forgiven the consequences of the Iraq War?

Please. You quoted it why? Just a random quote that had nothing to do with what you wrote. ? When you made a quote and then wrote a sentence beginning with "But" as in "But since when has using drugs been an acceptable excuse to use as a defense for criminal actions?" "But" is used to contradict a statement, not to endorse it.

If someone shouts fire in an empty theater, is that OK? If someone shouts fire in a crowded theater is that OK? Circumstances alter cases.

Got a link to a credible source that shows Trump beat Clinton in the debates? As for the Biden Trump debate. Both performed abysmally. Biden just did worse.

People get their values and moral guidance from their parents.?So that's why the children of from families long established in the UK don't commit crimes...Oh wait a minute...

Your posting history speaks otherwise.

I did as you suggested and looked it up. It turns out you're right, that there is such a term as "second generation immigrants". But as the article notes "The term second-generation immigrant attracts criticism due to it being an oxymoron. Namely, critics say, a "second-generation immigrant" is not an immigrant, since being "second-generation" means that the person is born in the country and the person's parents are the immigrants in question. Generation labeling immigrants is further complicated by the fact that immigrant generations may not correspond to the genealogical generations of a family." So while there is such a term as "second generation immigrant" it doesn't mean "immigrant." Still, you were right that such a term exists and I was wrong.

If this was a maths issue, you might have point. But given that it's about the English language and James105's misuse of it, I'm beginning to wonder about your immigrant status.

A definition provided by a native bigot.

Here's the Oxford English dictionary definition of immigrant: a person who comes to live permanently in a foreign country. "he's a recent immigrant to the US from Germany" https://www.google.com/search?q=definition+of+immigrant&oq=definition+of+immigrant&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOdIBCDU4OTZqMGo0qAIBsAIB&client=ms-android-samsung-ss&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8 So according to you a second generation immigrant is a kind of immigrant who isn't an immigrant.

What exactly is a "second generation immigrant."

Really? Maybe you should read what you quoted again. It mentions the prosecutors twice. And the article goes on to say at the defense doesn't want details of biden's expenditures to be presented in court.

I'm sure your opinion is based on legal precedents and you're not just expressing a personal belief. Edit: actually sentencing guidelines don't allow drug or alcohol addiction as a mitigating Factor. So it's only useful as a tactic to gain an acquittal from a jury.

Didn't get the much traction at the gun trial which is actually a lot harder case for the prosecution. And it's you who quoted the portion of the article about the prosecution's case.

Actually, what Biden deserves, if he is found guilty, is whatever sentence those who have been convicted of similar crimes have received. What's the data on that? Does it say somewhere in the sentencing guidelines "deserves a long jail time"?
