#1  This might get to the indictment stage before it is short-circuited by some crooked judge.

Kurt: My Prediction For 2021 Is Pain
[Townhall] There’s no hoarier cliché than to submit a column full of the predictions as your last column of the year, and since I like my clichés hoary, here’s a column full of my 2021 predictions as my last column of the year.

I predict pain.

Here are the specifics.

10. No Krakens. Sorry.

Let’s get this out-of-the-way. I predict President Asterisk will be inaugurated in January despite the massive cheating and incompetence that stole the election from the American people. Yeah, I know it’s not fair or right, but that’s my assessment of what will happen, and if you want smoke blown up your Swalwell, keep walking. ...

9. Durham Will Do Nothing

Santa Claus. The Easter Bunny. Durham the Avenger.

Nothing will happen to the real crooks. Nada. Zip. Zilch. What investigations the Asterisk Administration doesn’t order shut down will be closed out without action in the name of "preserving our institutions." ...

8. COVID Will Continue Until We Revolt
IMO, you're already revolting (against common sense) - so far, it cost you WH.
7. Trump Will Leave Twitter

6. There Will Be A SCOTUS Nomination

One of the libs will leave, probably by choice. No, it won’t be Roberts. He loves his sinecure and he’ll have to be carried out at 93. President Asterisk will nominate some pinko and the fun will begin. Hardest hit: Merrick Garland, who is too conservative for Democrats of 2021, being only a lib and not an outright leftist, will get dissed and dismissed yet again.

5. Woke Won’t Work

Slowly but surely, I think people are getting tired of Woke. None of us signed up to be ruled by a bunch of lachrymose sophomores who burst into tears because we insist they use the right toilet. Even liberals are getting sick of constantly having to navigate a minefield of microaggressions — it’s tiresome to always be worried that someone is going to freak out by your perfectly reasonable behavior.

4. The Murder Turtle Will Be Even More Of A Hero Than Dick "The Savior of Saigon" Blumenthal

He’s frustrating, sure, but Cocaine Mitch is the most skillful knife fighter/Senate Majority Leader in American history, and whether or not we win in Georgia next week (I think we will, but not enough to put money on it — just don’t be an idiot and refuse to vote if you dwell in the Peach State), he will be our bulwark against the Democrat onslaught.

3. Ghislaine Maxwell Will Not Kill Herself

Let me put it this way — with what she knows about the carnival of perversions that is our garbage elite, the most bummed guy in the world is her life insurance underwriter.

2. Trump Will Be A Kingmaker

I have many sources who supply me intriguing info and tidbits of intelligence, and the word on the street about Donald Trump running in 2024 is mixed. I think he will forego it — though I could be very wrong. But that’s for another year’s hack cliché column. This is about 2021, and what’s definitely on the agenda for the POTUS of Our Hearts is some hardcore kingmaking. He will bestow his blessing upon those who demonstrate a willingness to fight the power, and he will belittle the weak and spineless. I could not be happier to having him out there injecting some Vitamin T into the flabby posterior of the GOP.
IMO, a year from now, nobody will remember Trump. Or, you'll make him a folk hero - sans any real influence.
1. Grandpa Badfinger Will Not Be President Next New Year’s Eve

No one knows how this desiccated old weirdo will vacate the Oval Office this year, but he surely will. It might be the 25th Amendment. He might wander off while chasing a squirrel. Maybe he’ll make the mistake of digging into that plate of brownies Kamala sends up to the Lincoln Bedroom. One way or another, adios. Tick tock, the countdown has already started to Bye Bye Biden*. This old clown is a mess, and he’s getting messier, and his manifest weakness is going to draw the scavengers. The vultures are circling...
IMO, the bureaucracy - who really runs the country - will prefer Joe to the (potentially) megalomaniac Kamala.

#2  Prediction:

If the demoncrats steal the senate, by this time next year the red states and red counties in blue states will leave the US and a full civil war will be in swing.

#3  The only prediction I'll make is that in 366 days we'll have 2022.

#4 
If Biden croaks naturally, the deepState has no option but to bring out their next Lee Harvey.

#5  @ #3 - You conspiracy theorist. 😁

#6  IMO, the bureaucracy - who really runs the country - will prefer Joe to the (potentially) megalomaniac Kamala.

Agree 100%. The bureaucracy knows that Joe is too incapacitated to interfere with anything they want to do...whereas Kamala might want to Make A Name for Herself.

#7  ^ She's already got one...whore
Posted by: Warthog || 12/31/2020 12:03 Comments || Top||

#8  Tom has touched upon a question I've been kicking around for a while. Who is really calling the shots in the Biden Pretendership? It sure ain't Alzheimer Joe. Kneepads just doesn't have the chops. Too new to have the power backing though no doubt she'll try to throw her non-existent weight around as soon as they can "retire" Plugz. So who has been mapping out the strategy that brings us to this lowly pass*? Got to be somebody with lots of disposable income and connections to buy influence with deep state and mercenaries like Smartmatic/Dominion. My first guess is Georgie "Seig Heil" Soros followed closely by He Said, Xi said.

Know your enemy, yes, but assuming the Biden Pretendership takes power, what are the options of millions of disenfranchised Americans. I'm betting civil disobedience with a lash of tax revolt.

#9  So how do we get our income tax placed in escrow?
Fred please get will soon

#10  Who is really calling the shots in the Biden Pretendership?

Follow the $$$.

1. Bezos, via suspension of anti-competition law enforcement, destruction of small enterprises (specifically, turning them into customers of Amazon Advertising and AWS), and via the Woke media i.e. The Washington Post which he owns 100%

2. Soros

3. The CCP

4. DeepState Intel/Security Establishment

5. The Political Class: Uniparty Elected Officials, Political Professionals/Consultants, Lobbyists, Judges, Military Brass and revolving-door Swampy types

#11  If you want to know who controls you, look at who you are not allowed to criticize.
