Call It Now, Be Right Later: 2020 Edition

[Cramulus]

Here's the thread where you make your far out predictions about 2020. Later, you can bump this thread and say "See? I called it."


Here's mine:

• Biden is the democratic candidate despite zero support from people under 35
• One third of your facebook news feed is now basically 1950s-era public service videos
• The Dune movie is good
• We collectively recognize that facebook can never be neutral in politics, but don't stop using it anyway
• VR finally takes off as a video game medium? No fuckin way. But the next gen consoles launch with some Elder Scrolls VR experience
• Celebrities to get MeToo'd: Jeff Goldblum, Billy Dee Williams
• More Movie/Franchise reboots: Big (featuring but not starring Tom Hanks character as a grown up), Dracula, E.T, and we're probably overdue for another Robin Hood or Peter Pan

[Cain]

Iraq descends into a civil war in everything but name. Again.

The U.S. will enter a recession somewhere in the May-August timeframe.

This one is for 2020 the decade rather than the year, but... "President Eddie Gallagher".

[The Johnny]

Trump wins re-election and proceeds to declare himself "God-Emperor", and hosts a new season of "The Apprentice" where military generals compete to get control over different economic zones of the world.

Liberal cuck California along with the Alta Wind Energy Centre gets nuked to oblivion, and it all becomes the biggest radioactive pig farm the world has ever witnessed.

A sharp increase of weather anomalies that won't fit in the wildest climate change models will sweep over Oceania, causing doomsday cults all over the planet to gain power. Jesus was reportedly sighted in the middle east and was declared as an endangered species. Trophy hunters from everywhere start flowing to Syria.

Iraq descends into a civil war in everything but name. Again.

Admittedly, I did not forsee it happening literally today.

Iraqi protestors have attacked the US embassy, angry at airstrikes in Iraq carried out without Iraqi permission. Pompeo is right now, this very second, lecturing Iraq's President on international law and its responsibility to protect US property and personnel.

Which will, no doubt, be effective as hell.

[Cain]

Oh yes, the hypocrisy of lecturing on international law while carrying out illegal strikes in Iraqi territory will go down great. Just swimmingly.

It's embarrassing.  It is perfectly possible to be evil and not look dumb while you do it.

[Cain]

It's alright, while this crisis is unfolding, Trump is yet again staying at his golf course and tweeting about the UFC.
