Hardly justice 

Once the murder charge was dismissed by the jury then this was inevitable 

I don’t know enough about the case and assume none of us know anything about the two children other than what they’ve been convicted of.

I understand your points. 12 months and 2 to 3 years doesn't seem long enough though I can see this happening.

The Bulger killers got 8 and that was before justice was reformed

The game of tariff tennis with China continues, 125% now from the US. But also a pause on the rest of the tariffs, which can only be good?

[Nuge]

Trump pausing tariffs already. Is he bipolar? Or just absolutely off his rocker?

Well if it ends up with a bandage over his mouth rather than his ear I'd take that.

Also earlier he was saying to ‘stay cool’. Now this. So who’s whispered in his ear?

Don’t make the mistake of assuming that beneath his mad exterior, Trump is a rational actor and that there is a plan. He isn’t and there isn’t.

I think the length/type of punishment is decided by the judge using legal precedent unless a higher court, such as the court of appeal/House Of Lords/TECOHR sets a different precedent.

 

"In the UK legal system, legal precedent, also known as stare decisis, means that courts are bound by previous decisions of higher courts on similar legal issues, ensuring consistency and predictability in the law".

Only the reciprocal tarrifs paused

the 10% stays and the 25% auto also 

 

A cynic may muse that 90 days allows current orders in production to be fulfilled and shipped into the USA before >10% tariffs introduced.

It makes sense if you consider every move in the lens of "how can i get the most attention."

Man is trying to say that this shows China is a bad actor. 
 

No, it shows American homogeny is dead and that there’s another country that can compete

[Jattdogg]

Criminal insider trading. Disgraceful!

 

How many regular Americans were ruined from selling off to stop the bleeding?

 

Sure some will have gained from his truth social tweet but ffs.

 

Fook him and his pawn republicans!

Bond prices dropped hard.  Same thing that happened to Truss - US borrowing costs on 30 year bonds pushed higher than GREECE.

Sadly I think he has probably damaged US economic position in the world permanently - they have been the backstop for a generation or more, and ironically that inward investment and holding of hard currency and bonds had filled their trillion dollar trade deficit.  Hard to see how they do that now.  Still China hasn't dumped its US bonds yet, although one might note they have shifted an unbelievable amount of money from them into Gold in the past decade so you could argue they are well placed to **** the US to a level never seen before.  We can only hope they still see the need for a reasonable strong US market for their goods.

you know trump aims for 2 things, you either think he is a genius and worship him or you think he is unimaginably stupid. he’s neither… he’s just pure evil. 

 

What’s fairly evident is that this is all part of a scam to manipulate the markets for his gain and his funders. Don’t be fooled into thinking he’s just dumb he wants you to think that because then he doesn’t get held accountable for what is the biggest market manipulation of all time. 

 

Behind all the dumb… more often then not is a motive to manipulate and get reactions of some kind. Nobody is as dumb as he appears

Market manipulation.

Disgraceful.

Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves."
