Thank you valued poster

No, it should be Jan 14th. It's why he spent so much time bitching today about how we're screwed if they they don't rule in his favor.

He knows the next batch of opinions is due on Wed

Thanks, though

And in other news...

Theres' suggestions that the SCOTUS is inclined to rule in favor of drumpf. but I think there is some word-craft going on to keep him in his lane- and that this ONE and only time they will rule in favor of the POTUS doing the extreme tariff applications- that the next will require some sort of notice- along with future attempts. Imagine if you got someone even worse that Trump on the tafiff threats----I'm sure the GOP has more than a few waiting for their shot at the roost- but good lord, if the stock dips of April didn't fuck with most ppls portfolios- and linked to this dipshits interpretation of economics- we'd all be even worse off. It's still amazing to me that we've not had a huge correction and pending sell off yet.

I'd rather the SCOTUS rule against him,, and this get resolved throught congress's application of those tariffs retroactive- no POTUS can have this level of economic sway; Look at what he did to credit markets today with the suggestion of limiting them to 10% rates. (which I think they are out of hand at anything over 10 also! ,) but they create their strategy on credit lines, losses and anticipated late fees and incomes based on those inflated rates. Trump should have had that run through congress also-....another swing and miss from Heil Trumpo

Supremes didn't produce. The wait continues...

I think he's figured out that the more long-winded his comments are, the less likely it is that anyone will take the time to refute the bullshit point-by-point.

Try an Evelyn Wood class friend.- reading is fundamental, and I thought this board was about sharing perspectives; not just memes and bahahahaha taglines?


No?

LOL. It's a fucking hooker board about politics. Cogent replies are always appreciated. Rifs and MAGA salutes, memes and regurgitations from x, telegram, ruble, grindr or whatever can be humorous, but honestly just show rancor and repugnance.

Just saying.
thanks for your attention to this matter

Tariffman's tariffs have been great... for China.

Thanks, Gristle. Looks like the tariffs may also be starting to work... for the US.


"The U.S. goods and services trade deficit saw a significant drop, shrinking by approximately 39% in October 2025, the first month of Q4, reaching its lowest level since 2009, driven by surging exports and falling imports, especially pharmaceuticals and gold, though analysts noted underlying factors like tariffs and inventory cycles. This monthly figure... signals a major shift, boosting Q4 GDP estimates.

Key Details:

October 2025 Deficit: Shrank to $29.4 billion from $48.1 billion in September.

Percentage Drop: About 39% for goods and services combined.

Drivers: Increased U.S. exports and decreased imports, particularly pharmaceuticals and a rush of gold exports.

Context: This sharp fall was partly attributed to the impact of new tariffs implemented by the Trump administration in August 2025.

Impact on Q4: While October showed a massive improvement, the final Q4 2025 figure will depend on November and December's data, but the strong October performance significantly boosted Q4 GDP forecasts.


Footnote: Please refer to my post #1435 above for an analysis of the recent doubling of our Q4 GDP growth forecast to 5.4%.
