I predict that in the next four years, I'll turn 50 years old. I know this sounds like a pretty wild prognostication, but I stand by it.

There will be some pretty damn fine entertainment but you'll need the ability to look past the drama.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
The only prediction one can safely make is that America will shift to the right. It's not so much the loud mouthed claims Trump has made but Congress and Senate being firmly in the hands of Republicans, with religious rightwingers up close and personal in Trump's staff. I guess there will be some roll backs on quite a few social bills and issues.
Interest rates rise. The Vikings fail again and again and again and again to win a Super Bowl.

Look how he expects nicities and compliance with all the people he spent the past two years trash talking. Look who he's trying to put in cabinet positions (and look how many of them are white supremacists). He claims we're going to have change and I agree, we will. But change isn't always good. I mean, the country (world?) changed a lot on 9/11, but change certainly wasn't a good thing. And change in the form of a second great depression wouldn't be especially good, either. Truth is, he's been so much of a hot head on twitter, that unless the first change is his behavior on there, I can see the next four years being extremely tumultuous.

I mean, in 2012 I would have predicted 4 years without the Cubs winning the world series. :p (November 16, 2016 at 11:19 am)TaraJo Wrote:(November 16, 2016 at 1:05 am)c172 Wrote: Keeping an open mind until after January 20th. Can't tell much of anything right now. For me, it's practically an article of faith that Minnesota will not win a Super Bowl until the season after I'm dead. And I don't plan to check out any time soon just to make life more bearable for liberal Vikings fans during Trump's presidency.
I simply hope, whatever happens, people will finally realize the system has become too corrupt and broken to be fixed from the inside. No Democrat, no Republican is going to work for our benefit. The only beneficial changes will come from the outside. Either from minority parties or from true independents who's souls aren't owned by the interests on Wall St. and it's lily too late even then.
I'm not sure the sinking ship can be saved or if it's even worth saving any more.
