Let’s get everyone’s predictions for the new year on record.
I’ll start:
- After nine months of whinging “2020 is the worst year ever“, Americans will discover that events don’t read calendars. Things’ll stop sucking pretty much whenever they stop sucking.
- Joe Biden will come out of the White House basement no more often after being sworn in than he did before.
- Nonetheless, his mental decline will become so apparent that by autumn, the Democrats will attempt to remove him using the 25th Amendment. Of course, if Biden doesn’t resign, and Harris and the Cabinet have to vote to remove Biden under Section 4, while the Veep and Cabinet can temporarily remove him, throwing the issue to Congress…where a 2/3 vote is required to permanently replace Biden with Harris. Which presents Mitch McConnell with a bit of a dilemma: would it be better to leave Biden in place as leader of the Democrat party, flailing and walking into walls and wandering into odd tangents, or install a “president” who never got over 5% of the vote in any primary and is pushing an agenda that would motivate Republicans and conservatives like nothing since Obamacare?
- Americans, fatigued by over a year of restrictions that, outside of a few liberty-first states, and armed with the gradually escaping knowledge that T-cell immunity has made vast swathes of the population already functionally immune, will start to treat Covid restrictions the way their great-grandparents treated prohibition.
- While waiting for America’s idiot ruling class to wake up and smell the public health coffee (ew), China will gobble up vast shares of the world market.
- With the trials pushed back to the start of summer, the George Floyd trial’s verdicts will lead to rioting that make Minneapolitans look on the last week of May 2020 as the good old days. By 2030, Minneapolis will be generally revealed to be a failed city along the lines of Detroit, Newark and NOLA.
Your turn.
I shall proffer this: 2021 will suck worse than 2020 did.
Allen: A triumph of hope over reality. It must be January 1 2021—2020 has been fired, per sources.
MBerg: is this is the alternative for moaning therapy after a night of heavy drinking in the SiTD editorial board room. Nothing beats a dosage of unfounded optimism and make believe speculation to clear the mind of a horrible hangover…
Will the Republican political
theatre/performance art on Jan 6th lay to rest any doubt that Biden becomes the 46th President?
The interesting question we’ll never be able to answer: If the GOP controlled the House, would they vote to overturn the election outcome? Or are they only voting to overturn because there’s no chance of it changing the result? Weird that they would want to be seated in Congress at all, given the level of fraud and whatnot in the November election.
I hope that the Democrats win both seats in Georgia. Not because I’m a Democrat but because:
a) the republican party really needs a strong bloody nose to rid itself of Trump and trumpism to return towards Conservative politics and:
b) to have an effective period of government.
Warren Buffett says that it is always a mistake to bet against America.
Personally, I’m optimistic! Cheers! Happy New Years!
Pedophiles in high places will be exposed but Soros-bought prosecutors won’t touch them. The rash of deaths to follow will be ruled mysterious suicides.
As provided by Article II of the Constitution, Vice-President Pence will count the electoral votes submitted by the legislatures and will declare President Trump the winner but a federal judge in Hawaii will determine the Constitution is unconstitutional and will order Joe Biden to take office. His death two years and one day later will be ruled a mysterious suicide.
President Harris will order all records relating to the Kennedy administration made public. His death will be ruled a mysterious suicide.
The economies of California, New York, Illinois, Michigan and Minnesota will expire under ever-greater restrictions imposed to fight the Covid virus. Their deaths will be ruled mysterious suicides.
Comey, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, and McCabe will be politically rehabilitated with at least one of them being offered a federal judgeship.
Nancy Pelosi will retire (the easy way or the hard way) to be replaced as Representative by her daughter
Gubernatorial emergency powers will be challenged and upheld by federal appeals courts(possibly even the Supremes)
Sometime in April there will be steps taken in some state legislatures(CA, NY, etc) to allow Governors to invoke their Emergency Powers in order to cope with the growing crisis of Climate Change™ and for periods lasting up to 18 months at a time
AOC will get married(or transition)
in light of the public health emergency that rapidly increasing violent crime in Mpls/StPl has caused Gov. Walz will issue emergency decrees mandating that a) all firearms be registered, b) all ammunition salesrequire and capture photo ID information, c) conceal carry permits in MN are “temporarily” suspended, and c) the sale of AR platform guns in MN is banned
I’m very optimistic. Before 2021 ends, Biden will be replaced by someone who couldn’t win a single 2020 Democrat primary election, and dropped out very early because nobody could stand her. Good times ahead my friends.
Trump will leave, but not before he declassifies everything. He will also pardon Assange and Snowden. He may also pardon Hillary and all the Bidens just to piss them off.
Joe Biden will be gone soon. The power struggle between Ärztin Jill “Edith Wilson” Biden and Kamala Harris will be epic and, eventually, public. Harris will prevail and the Widow Biden will primary Harris; all debates will be on “The View.”
At least one of the Soros attorneys general will go too far and will personally face an angry mob. It remains to be seen if the state troopers will protect said AG.
The SiTD conspiracy theory mill is kind of appallingly impressive in its speed and reach.
Perhaps we are in fact a nation larded up with credulous nincompoops.
this is the alternative for moaning therapy after a night of heavy drinking in the SiTD editorial board room. Nothing beats a dosage of unfounded optimism and make believe speculation to clear the mind of a horrible hangover…
What in the hell are you talking about?
Congress will confirm Biden, and for the first time in American history, a doddering, senile old pedophile and thief will be seated in the oval office while 47% of the population believes he and his fetid ilk stole the election.
That will set the stage for a series of increasingly strident battles in the congress and on the streets:
Black Looters Mob will riot and loot every time an armed black felon is taken down, or just because it’s Friday and they are out of malt liquor. This will continue until their riots are occasioned by an growing body count; both at their own hands and at the hands of working, taxpaying citizens who know it is up to them, and no one else. It will become suicide for persons of any color to travel through areas dominated by people of another; the police will unofficially recognize no-go zones. Obama will suggest everyone get together for a beer; Big Mike will complete his transition with the first tuck and roll done at Walter Reed Army Hospital; it will be hailed as an historic moment in America.
The people of leftist shithole cities, counties and states will very publicly ignore and resist continuing and increasing assaults on their Constitutional rights. The courts will provide no relief; fines and confiscations will be imposed until one or more assassinations will be tried. Leftist reprobate leaders will travel in MRAP’s with an armed escort at all times. Kameltoe and Sinffin Joe will disappear from sight, while their staff publish highly edited Zoom videos.
The stock market will surge, while the economy takes an historic dive. Congress will pass the first $50 Trillion relief bill, 80% of which will go to support services for trans-sexual pygmies in Kenya, a new, fortified HQ for the National Teachers’ Association, a tripling of pension benefits for public union members, $200 billion for Israel and a siege army at Poland’s border until it repudiates the Catholic Church, declares it’s history a pack of lies and raises the sodomy flag over the Parliament. Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey and Hunter Biden will become Trillion-airs. All will shed their given names and adopt undecipherable symbols as names; it will be a federal crime to photograph any of them. A federal appeals court will declare Google too big to regulate, and exempt it from all state and federal laws.
The Provisional America Republican Army will begin a guerilla war. Obama will suggest a couple of shots be included with the sit-down beer.
mitch,
Emery is trying desperately to be witty — he’s like the bad comic who shows up 9 months straight for open mic night at Dudley Riggs and leaves the stage every time with a toilet seat hanging from his neck. the little dear pegged the needle on pathetic a long time ago.
oh here’s a prediction; this is the year Emery pulls the trigger on his “transition”
I make no predictions.
But while the rest of the world seems to have gone down the toilet in 2020, my year has gone rather well. I retired, got engaged, and my retirement portfolio is doing extremely well. Also,it turns out that the survivor benefit I get from social security is about x2 I thought it would be.
So, skol!
Congratulations Max. Sincere wishes your streak of good fortune brings you through the storm.
Dr. Jill plays Edith Wilson to Joe “Bernie Lomax” Biden for two years and a day so Harris will be able to run for two full terms.
With Harris in either office, Democrats’ retorts to all criticism of her will include both RACIST! and SEXIST! regardless of subject.
Dr. Strunk-
Also I am spending 10 days in Kona later this month. Score!
Wonderful, Max. You have much to show your fiance. I suppose a demonstration of the Keck II adaptive optics system might be in the offing.
I hope that experience ends for you as it did for me!
This is one of the most frightening discussions I have ever seen on any blog ever. If just one of the predictions listed comes true we are blanked as a country.
I belong to the Yogi Berra school of predictions. It’s hard, especially about the future. I think Biden will last 2 years so Karma Chameleon will have a shot at 10 years. There will for sure be riots this summer, not confined to Minnesota. And that’s if there’s a conviction. Any acquittal will force me into DEFCON Five.

Whenever Emery blathers about R wing conspiracy theories remeber that he was all in on the “Russian collusion” hoax.
He still can’t admit that it was a hoax.
👆Congratulations on your good fortune! Being mean is too easy. Anyone can be a jerk. There is no sport in it. Being nice is hard. Making the other person look good requires skill and attention. It’s much more fun, in addition to being the right thing to do.
Every sane person knows that after literally years of media obsession and an special council investigation with an unlimited budget, featuring Hillary backers in powerful positions, “Russian collusion” was a hoax, founded on Hillary’s oppo-research, helpfully provided by foreigners — a Trump-hating Brit & his Putin allied sources in Russia.
Every sane person knows this, the way that they know the sky is blue and water is wet. Emery can’t bring himself to admit it.
Though he considers himself so great an expert on conspiracy theories he lectures others about them.
I guess some thread- jacks are more acceptable than others… nevertheless
I feel that these two sentences from Volume II of the Mueller report have not gotten anything like the attention they deserve.
“As described in Volume I, the evidence uncovered in the investigation did not establish that the President or those close to him were involved in the charged Russian computer-hacking or active-measure conspiracies, or that the President otherwise had an unlawful relationship with any Russian official. But the evidence does indicate that a thorough FBI investigation would uncover facts about the campaign and the President personally that the President could have understood to be crimes or that would give rise to personal and political concerns.”
Volume II p 76
Emery will continue to bloviate falsely and never answer a direct question.
If only withholding military aid to extort a foreign ally to manufacture dirt on your political opponent were an abuse of power.
If only we made presidents swear an oath to the Constitution. Also, it’s too bad there isn’t some mechanism to remove presidents who violate such an oath and put their interests above the nation’s. We could have a body of people consider whether to bring charges, and another body to hold a trial on whether those charges warrant removal. Maybe even hear evidence?
This would be a nice reminder that come noon on January 20 the thing that’s been shielding Trump from all the lawsuits, the investigations, the subpoenas… etc — the presidency — disappears, leaving him completely exposed to the accountability he’s long escaped.
Emery on January 2, 2021 at 11:18 am said:
If only withholding military aid to extort a foreign ally to manufacture dirt on your political opponent were an abuse of power.
Never happened.
The rest of your comment is the usual poorly informed mess of hatred & a call for explicitly political prosecution of a president you didn’t like.
You guys never seem to think that the game has two sides. It wouldn’t take much work to find a DA or prosecutors office to go to work on indicting democrats once they have left office.
The Durham investigation is finding almost nothing. And it’s doing it very slowly.
Durham’s quandary:
He’s supposed to investigate: “Why did the Trump campaign and it’s associates come under intelligence surveillance in 2016?”
He’s forbidden the true answer, “Because Trump’s associates were up to their eyeballs in crooked shit.”
But no alternative answer can survive DOJ scrutiny. Any chance Durham could interview Trump after he is no longer President?
Emery quotes the Mueller report:
“As described in Volume I, the evidence uncovered in the investigation did not establish that the President or those close to him were involved in the charged Russian computer-hacking or active-measure conspiracies, or that the President otherwise had an unlawful relationship with any Russian official.
So that is a declaration of what Weissman’s investigators actually discovered. It is an attestation of fact.
Weissman then went on to speculate, which really isn’t the role of an investigator in a legal process.
But the evidence does indicate that a thorough FBI investigation would uncover facts about the campaign and the President personally that the President could have understood to be crimes or that would give rise to personal and political concerns.
This part, that Emery & the TDS lunkheads seize on, is pure speculation. It involves no findings of fact and no evidence. It talks about “crimes” witout mentioning any actual violations of law. Or maybe unspecified things that the non-existent investigation would expose about Trump’s political concerns.
It is 100% hogwash
It is an admission that there was no finding of wrong doing. It says that Weissman believed that his authorized, very wide ranging investigation had not uncovered and crimes. Note the clumsy transition from the word “would” in the first clause to the word “could” in the second clause, and then the odd use of the “or” connector. It is a clumsily constructed sentence meant to imply what it CANNOT say.
Smart people see this. It jumps out at them.
The TDS crowd swallows the nonsense whole because they want to believe it.
The Elite Strike Force train to Crazy-town has already left Kraken Station months ago and I regret to inform you that you are still on it.
Why is so much of the content on Parler focused on misleading Trump supporters and scamming them out of their (very little) money? I realize these are the most gullible, easily manipulated people on the planet but wasn’t this supposed to be their “safe space”?
Why is so much of the content on Parler focused on misleading Trump supporters and scamming them out of their (very little) money?
Why is there something rather than nothing?
Spend a lot of time on parler analyzing its content?
I’ll make a prediction that sadly is based on Emery’s threadjack. I predict that the “Biharris” administration, knowing that you just can’t get to the facts after spending over two years and forty million bucks, is going to weaponize the FBI against Trump and his staffers to “get at the truth”. After spending a hundred million more, the new Mueller investigation will have precisely zero convictions because Trump staffers now know not to talk with the FBI after the fate of Flynn, Papadoulos, Page, et al.
I also predict that Carter Page wins a settlement in his lawsuit, but that little irrelevant fact doesn’t bother Biden much.
Think of all the the “predictions for 2020” articles and posts you read around January 1st, 2020.
How many of them were even close to getting 2020 right?
Strangely enough my own plans for 2020 were all fulfilled, mostly because I am a hedger, and have no confidence in my ability to foretell the future.
I am always sobered when I realize that our elites, our leadership class, believes (without foundation) that they know what the needs of humanity will be a century from now.
Max, you must remember; the cheese whiz troll has no capacity for original thought; he really is as stupid as he appears. Anything and everything he drags in are the thoughts and observations he found in some leftist cesspool.
He’s lately been particularly fond, for instance, of comparing commentators with Japanese soldiers hiding in caves; Chris Wallace (hwaaauck ptooey) said that, and the reprobate interweb loved it. Cheese whiz is merely regurgitating it here.
Likewise, the dimwitted leftist multitudes are quite up in arms over free speech alternatives to their social media cesspools of hate; Parler in particular.
It took decades for YouTwitGooFace to gather enough interesting content providers to be viable. Parler is doing it in hypertime. Likewise, Rumble, Bitchute, GAB, Minds, Duck Duck Go, Newsmax, OANN and other alternative free speech sites are exploding in popularity. It’s a whole, new playing field, and the rules don’t favor the reprobates.
The reprobates in charge are very concerned. They are learning every time they censor a right wing influencer, they are risking the loss of hundreds of thousands of followers…banning one guarantees that.
Their dimwit leftist supporters are starting to migrate as well, and in an uncensored, free exchange environment they fear a few of the brighter ones may throw off their training.
The Cheese whiz troll, of course, is not one of those.
BB: That is a lot of baggage to carry around and a rather convoluted mix of grievances.
If Hillary/Obama was “illegally” spying on Gasbag, why didn’t he ever indict her?
Because it was just empty Trump BS, as usual.
Lol, Emery probably believes Christopher Steele & his army of Putin-backed Russian “contacts” are Great American Patriots!

Audio: Trump berates Georgia secretary of state, urges him to ‘find’ votes
https://www.washingtonpost.com/video/politics/audio-trump-berates-ga-secretary-of-state-urges-him-to-find-votes/2021/01/03/aba64f5f-8c3c-490f-af34-618ccea732d7_video.html
Headline correction: Trump urges Georgia Secretary of State to commit election fraud.
Georgia did a full machine and a full hand recount. Trump and everyone on that call, knew that there are no lawful votes to be “found.”
The congressional Republicans that are nevertheless still supporting his false claims should be held to account.
No, Georgia did an ‘audit’ which compares the machine vote totals to the machine vote totals. Depending on which software update they’re using, the totals change. But that doesn’t prove what the voters intended, it proves what the programmers intended.
What’s needed is eyeballs-on-paper review with challenges to fraudulent ballots, like we had in Florida with the hanging-chads fiasco, then a manual recount of the legitimate ballots.
That has not happened anywhere, in any of the contested states.
Georgia did a full machine and a full hand recount.
“But, muh recount!”
They put the fraudulent votes back into the hinky machines, recounted them and viola! Recount: Complete.
Forensic audit/signature verification? Reeeeeeee! Nao, nebber!!!
lmao…if the reprobate army consisted solely of dimwits of Cheese whiz’s caliber, we’d be home free. As it is, they’d do well to up their propaganda game; their drones are making fools of themselves, and are not anywhere near smart enough to realize it.
SiTD’s core audience demonstrates there are people fully convinced that Trump will still be President on January 20th because of some magic he’s going to pull on January 6th. Totally convinced. It’s incredible to me that he keeps moving the goalposts for these people, and they fall for it hook, line and sinker. It’s all a grift to make money.
The Trump campaign had their days in court for “resolution of the multiple allegations of serious voter fraud.” They presented nothing because they had nothing.
What Hawley, Cruz and the House GOP are doing will not affect the Jan 20th swearing in of Biden and Harris but their actions are doing lasting damage to our democracy. This is so pathetic and cynical. They didn’t believe the courts, including a half-dozen GOP — appointed judges. They certainly aren’t going to believe some “independent commission” either.
.
As much lasting damage as the Democrats caused when they did it.
Nothing Trump has done regarding election contesting has been illegal.
Nothing.
Suck it up, Buttercup, and get ready for more.
I’m never one to say Democrats are clever or willing to take their long knives out. But..
Play this tape during Wednesday’s Republican clown show in the Senate and House as a reminder to the American people of what these seditious Republicans are supporting: a president acting like a delusional mob boss wannabe trying to coerce a state’s attorney general into committing election fraud.
Sedition without a crime, lol, “Off with their heads” cried the Red Queen.
On Wednesday, several patriotic US Senators, Congressmen and women will join tens of thousands of real Americans in Washington DC to object to the blatant theft of Democracy perpetrated by the reprobate Democrat party. They shall firmly affix an asterisk to their fetid administration.
They will also cement in the collective minds of the world’s population, the fact that Sniffin Joe and Kameltoe occupy offices the people did not elect them to. It sets the stage for mass rejection of anything that wretched pair of degenerates say or do.
Not since Monday, March 4, 1861, has an event in the nation’s capital caused as much upheaval.
It’s going to be an historic event, and I will be on hand to witness it personally.I wish to record the proceedings for my children, and their future children.
Emery; nice non-response. Regarding why Hilliary wasn’t prosecuted, that would have a lot to do with the fact that in the server case, Comey kinda poisoned things with his statements, and in the dossier case, it doesn’t appear that there was a clear trail back to her.
And really , that is in fact the Chicago way, and it is now the FBI way. There are a bunch of things lately where I am wondering why on earth nobody in the FBI and/or Mueller’s team spoke up. But if I read Mario Puzo’s works, it starts to make sense.
Every American should listen to this call between Trump and Georgia election officials.
Trump: We can go through signature verification, and we’ll find hundreds of thousands of signatures, if you let us do it.
Raffensperger: Mr. President, the problem you have with social media, they — people can say anything.
Trump: Oh this isn’t social media. This is Trump media.
“Trump media”. 😂😂😂😂😂
I saw a youtube yesterday of Swalwell interrogating Comey about how the Russki’s might have gotten compromising info on Trump & the wicked uses they could make of him. Comey very seriously agreed with all of Swalwell’s leading questions.
This was two years AFTER the Swalwell-Fang Fang honey pot where the FBI had warned Swalwell that he was compromised.
Hilarious! in one exchange both Swalwell & Comey disgraced themselves!
I’ve just learned that Pedo Joe has cancelled the inaugural parade for fear it will turn into a giant MAGA rally.
I can’t think of a better way to kick off his shit show. 😂👌
Trump is presenting the gravest security threat to the United States since the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. That this is being done by an American president with significant support from Congressional members and senators is sedition of the most despicable type.
These people aren’t demented cultists. They’re predatory political opportunists. They know exactly what they’re doing, and have improved their gaslighting techniques with increased success and complete lack of consequences.
Emery is sad!
Instead of a public parade to allow the dozen degenerate Pedo Joe supporters a chance to cheer their hero (and the hundreds of thousands of pissed off Americans that would have been there a chance to throw rotting garbage at him), he’ll get an “escort”.
“This escort will provide “the American people and world with historic images of the President-elect proceeding to the White House without attracting large crowds and gatherings,” the committee said.”
Translation:
“Pedo Joe slinks to his new basement bunker alone. Nap time to follow.”
Bwaaahahahahahaha!
