Since we are dealing with an insane lunatic surrounded by spineless yes men and women with zero integrity collectively. Kinda like Hitler in the 30s and 40s.

Conflict with Iran or, shudder, an alli.
Another Pandemic ( perhaps fungal this time around).
Extreme/devastating climate events that this administration is too incompetent, selfish, and lazy to address efficiently or effectively.

Those are my 3 more cheerful predictions. Follow me for the really horrifying possibilities. Just kidding (no, not really). 😋

Hopefully someone will put a stop to it and remove him from power etc. Or nature will take its course. I pray for that everyday and I'm not even religious, lol.

With the cuts to NOAA and the politics of FEMA, expect that Katrina will look like a model of efficient administration in comparison.

His presidency was pretty damn boring, nearly ASMR, which I appreciate more and more with every passing day. The media had to really fish around for anything resembling juicy scandals. They "found" a few, but Hunter Biden's laptop seems pretty mild compared to the shit that gets openly flaunted to our faces every day with the F47 bunch, but the media dragged that laptop crap out for months on end. "Signalgate"? 100000x worse than anything on the stupid laptop, but that's last week's problem, completely overshadowed by the insane bullshit they followed with this week. No one gives a fuck about the military apparatus of the current administration using commercial software to host a meeting where they finalized a strike plan to strategically kill people, not anymore, that's last week's scandal. This week is about to become another last week. Next week, they'll probably escalate to something bigger than "OMG the economy's on fire and we've sent people to a foreign gulag without due process", and I deeply dread what that something may be.

14. Or, they sell off all the bonds they have... 759 billion dollars' worth..

thus, sending our economy into a freefall. They can wait till we collapse, then take Taiwan without any pushback.

Kill two birds with one stone.

12. China is dumping bonds, along with Japan and others. Some Asian markets have seen an uptick in gold buying.

What will this mean for the US when all that debt has been dumped by them? Weak dollar? Inflation? What are we supposed to do to protect ourselves? What happens when or if the orange shit tries to take over the treasury?

Isn't it possible that you don't really want to know?

I know I don't!
