Trump wins ore nv nm minn va and if yhecrats are not careful a few more

[Bommer]

My 2020 Predictions:

Trump loses re-election, when Joe Biden releases his NY Times Best Selling new book, “You’re Not As Stupid As I Think You Are!” - Joe Biden teaches how to program punch card readers for coal miners and other people Democrats think are dumbasses!

Joe Biden sworn in and is impeached for fondling Greta Thunberg, on the grounds that it’s proof he is insane...and hard up.

Republicans lose both House And Senate....not because they lost the election, they actually will win the house and the senate, but they will panic because now they have to produce results and will quit out of fear.

Adam Schiff will accidentally impeach himself, because he was seeking attention.

Hillary Clinton will die, go straight to hell and 3 days later come back to life, because Satan didn’t want the competition.

Jeffery Epstein will still be dead and still will not have killed himself.

Richmond VA will be surrounded by 3500 semi automatic bump stock owning patriots who will demand, and get the Govener and entire legislature to resign, but will kill them all anyways because, why take a chance?

[DownInFlames]

2020 will show a Trump win. Dems will retain the house. GOP will keep the senate.

VA, NY, and IL will call in the UN for gun confiscation leading to CWII as the bordering states form militias and jump into the fray.

Should this happen, the economy tanks.
——————————————————-
on the alternate universe, the fed gov remains status quo, and our economy doubles in 5 years.

[Lurkinanloomin]

I will still be annoying the fans of the popular children of foreign nationals who are not natural born citizens by pointing that out.

[CJ Wolf]

7. Cause I forgot to number correctly.

8. I forget what 8 was for.

[Swordmaker]

2021 will start a new decade. :)

Correct, because there was no year zero.

Here is an absolute true prediction: for decades to come, years will pass. . . and conservatives will flee California!

And for even longer, people will say "Epstein didn’t kill himself!"

[MisterMagic]

Technically, every year starts a new decade. A decade is simply a period of ten years, start counting where you will.

Having said that, the new decade starts in 2021.

[Swordmaker]

I think I should point out that the beginning of the Christian Era, designated by Anno Domini, A.D., — Euphemistically as "Common Era, or C.E., by idiots who somehow think there was nothing very important that occurred at that time to anchor and count the starting years by— being based on year 1 starting with day one being the birthdate of Jesus Christ (recognized so by all except for by reality challenged idiots), then we have a problem Houston. Scholars cannot nail down that birthdate to any one specific year within a seven year window. . . and a few hold out for a birthdate that would expand that window range to fifteen years. Some scholars put Jesus’ birth at 7 B.C., some at 4 B.C., and a few claim it could have been as late as 4 A.D., and a couple of outliers claim they’re positive He was born in 11 B.C.

The Roman calendar before Julius Caesar mucked it up by demanding his own personal month, had only ten, 36 day months. When Julius got his month stuck in, they had to change everything to account for eleven months. That’s what it was when Christ was born. . . but then Caesar Augustus comes along and says "I want a month, too!" and pitches a fit until the Roman Senate knuckles under and carves the calendar into twelve 30 day months by sticking August in. . . That happened when Jesus was (maybe?) eight years old in 8 A.D., further confusing time keepers. They stuck those two new months arbitrarily in the summer. Pushing the other months up. That’s why our ninth month, September, in Latin literally means Seventh month, our tenth month October means eighth month, and November, ninth, and December, twelfth. That must have been really confusing for the average Roman citizens. Typical bureaucratic SNAFU. Oh, and then they toss in a six-day holiday after December called Saturnalia, to account for the 366 day length of the year. Us Christians kinda borrowed it, filed the serial numbers off, and just stuck Christmas in there.

But, every year’s trip around the sun takes ~365 ¼ days, not 366 days and the 366 day Julian calendar slipped out of synch 0.75 day every year or so for years. . . and of course it wasn’t reset to reflect year 1 A.D. until Emperor Constantine made Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire in ~325 A.D.

Then, of course there was the change from that messed up Julian Calendar to the Gregorian in 1582 when October 5th was necessarily changed to October 15th for all Catholic Nations to re-regularize the calendar with the solstices.. . and more importantly for Catholics to calculate Easter’s date correctly! It was later found that those ten days taken out were not nearly enough. It actually was more like 83 more that needed to be removed to get everything back in sync!

Following that, various nations decided that April 1 was a stupid time for a new year to start, and starting in 1599, moved it to January 1. Great Britain, and its colonies, including the thirteen American Colonies made the change in 1752, which meant 1751 had only 282 days in it. The last nation to change to Gregorian and January 1 new year was Saudi Arabia in 2016. People who insisted on still celebrating New Years on April 1st were ridiculed as "April Fools," stupid people who weren’t willing to "move with the times."

So, the bottom line is, we really haven’t the foggiest idea ”when in time we are!" The best we can do is pick one, agree on it, shake hands, and set our calendars on our smart phones and not worry about it!

[Swordmaker]

Oops, "December, our twelfth, is Roman tenth month."

Something got accidentally zapped.

Dec 31 2029: The Rolling Stones announce their upcoming world tour...

[Theophilus]

Ecclesiastes 1:5
The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose

and Epstein’s murder investigation won’t get started.

[trebb]

Since Botox Nancy already invited the President to do the SOTU, I figured she thinks they will have some “bombshell” to spew out either just before it and/or during their counter-comments...

[dfwgator]

The Tigers will be National College Football Champions!

[xp38]

At least we don’t have to worry about Y3K for a while. :)

[Albion Wilde]

The taxpayer exodus from blue states and cities will intensify; many will have a goal of reaching red territory with enough lead time to register in time to vote in the 2020 Presidential elections.

[SunkenCiv]

Only two?!? I predict this will join the hallowed ranks of the Undead Threads! ;^)

We’re still safe, I only see two or three:

[GreenHornet]

Rosie O’Donnell will be diagnosed with an incurable flesh eating virus. Doctors give her 80 years to live.

[CJ Wolf]

I had a few more down the line.

Here is another.

Virginia will celebrate legal weed and attempt ban guns. The Democrats will back down the proposed gun ban down after continued back lash. They will pass an incremental step.

[CJ Wolf]

On 80 years? Lol

[CJ Wolf]

“Only” 80
