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
They're gonna remake Pacific Rim, with Roseann Barr as the critters.
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".
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.

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

That is actually the best possible scenario.
Yeah, unfortunately Trump woke up and ordered an extra 4000 troops to Iraq.
He can't even be usefully garbage.
This is fine (https://apnews.com/711ba27d6c4043ce4070eef102c17e53).
QuoteU.S. troops fired tear gas on Wednesday as hundreds of Iran-backed militiamen and other protesters gathered outside the American Embassy in Baghdad for a second day and set fire to the roof of a reception area inside the compound.
Dozens of Iran-allied militiamen and their supporters had camped out at the gates of the embassy overnight, a day after they broke into the compound, trashing a reception area, smashing windows and spraying graffiti before pulling back.
The U.S. Marines guarding the embassy fired tear gas Wednesday as more crowds arrived and after the protesters lit a fire on the roof of the reception area. Smoke rose from the building. There have been no reports of any injuries since the protests began.
Later, Iraqi soldiers, federal police and elite counterterrorism forces deployed along the fence between the protesters and the compound. There was no friction between the security forces and the demonstrators.
1. The Democrats' Very Smart Plan to impeach (and then fail to convict) Trump in order to replicate the impeachment of Bill Clinton and subsequent rise of the GOP 20 years ago will backfire because they forget that it isn't actually 20 years ago anymore.
2. Instead of inspiring voters to oust the GOP, the Democrats will nominate Biden and completely eliminate all doubt that they are the party of "everything will be fine if you just bury your head a little deeper in your ass, we promise". Trump will win reelection in a landslide, and both houses of Congress will gain Republican supermajorities.
3. The first 10+ victim mass shooting to go unreported on national news media because nobody cares will happen by October.
4. Amazon buys Netflix
5. Your 2 remaining childhood heroes die
6. French government collapses all the way, EU sends in shock troops to protect vineyards
