Unfortunately, those who make predictions around here seldom recognize when they're wrong, therefore they never learn. Look at THUGR: He based his tick tock on the RUSSIA!!RUSSIA!!! hoax, and when that failed to materialize he simply goal-shifted and reset the clock.
And some predictions, like worldwide extinction ... well, some of them you just don't want to have to say "I told you so".
Life on earth is very durable, and humans are pretty durable too. Unless we fall into "planet Venus" territory, life will find a way. However, human civilizations ... life as we know it ... will flame out. There will be a future that is hot, where many species have died and the world is no longer a rich, productive, and diverse ecology but where here only weeds and a few humans will survive. That's my prediction, anyway.
Yeah. I don't have a problem with making predictions either. We have a thread or two here dedicated to just that which has seen predictions from people all over the spectrum post in it.
Predictions are made here all of the time.
The double-edged sword of putting your predictions out there is that you're on record for having made them if it turns out that you were wrong.
I can recall several instances where I was extremely wrong about an outcome and I fully admitted that I was. Honestly, I can't seem to recall anybody else ever having done so. That's not to say it hasn't happened. Just that I don't remember it happening.
My previous post on the topic that you quoted here was just pointing out again the hypocrisy. That is all.
Do Right, Be Right. :)

Trump’s impeachment? Mueller’s report makes the case for at least 10 instances of obstruction - honest, real impeachable actions. So how has that gone? It is factually obvious but in the real world it’s still a bit like Sig’s guessing - doesn’t mean anything. The main difference is Sig’s guesses have obvious slants. Do a little research into her fav source, zerohedge. I know you won’t so whatever.

Yeah. It is. I've been hearing the world is going to end for one reason or another since I was born. Without a time machine or a legitimate crystal ball there is zero chance anybody knows what is going to happen. It gets exponentially more foolish when people put an actual date on it (30 years from now, 12 years from now... however many years from now Marcos put in his thread title)
Remember Y2K. Remember 2012. lol

You don't need any real reason to impeach. Dumbass.
Impeachment doesn't actually have any consequences in and of itself. All it would take to impeach any president at any given time in history is enough votes to be successful.
Please. Go ahead and impeach. It will backfire spectacularly and the Democrats will be completely crushed in 2020 if it happens.
Looks like all of my predictions about the EU are coming true. I know you always like to try to point out that I'm ill informed and that I'm biased. That doesn't change the fact that I was right about it.
2020 here is going to be no different.
The progressive/Globalist movement is losing worldwide and is going to fall apart.
My condolences.
Do Right, Be Right. :)

Right, From the person who one week says they have it made, all figured out, and then the next says they’re going through tough times. Your take on shit is usually shit.

Well. I did have it made. Then a very unfortunate series of unforeseen circumstances happened to have fallen on me at once.
If I were still drinking, this all would likely be the death of me right now. But I'm not. I'll figure it out.
You'd better hope that you never run into an extremely bad string of luck the likes of this yourself. I doubt very much you have the fortitude or the intellect to recover from it.

Welsh Government will now campaign to remain in the European Union

The UK government has spent “at least” £97 million ($124 million) hiring external help for Brexit-related tasks, because many departments lack necessary manpower and skills.
To be sure, this is just one sort of cost related to Brexit. In 2017, UK finance minister Philip Hammond earmarked more than £3 billion for government departments to spend on Brexit-related issues over two years.
The economy is 3% smaller than it would have been if the vote went the other way. The UK has forgone, on average, £6.6 billion ($8.7 billion) in economic activity in each of the 10 quarters since the vote.
And even though the political and legislative process has been consumed by nothing but Brexit since the referendum, nobody knows what will happen next.

Just to update the news: Boris Johnson, Prime Minister.
He just conducted a "saturday night massacre" of his cabinet a week or so ago, and eliminated anyone who was a remainer. The guy is a flake, but he knows he needs to accomplish Brexit one way or another by Oct 31 (Halloween) or his Conservative Party is toast, since it massively betrayed its electorate on the issue.
Meanwhile, control of the EU has lurched from Merkel's into Macron's hands. Despite the success of the nationalist parties in the EU Parliament (including Farage's Brexit Party) the EU leadership (over which the Parliament has no nominating control) has gone full-integrationist. So while England looks like it will be leaving, and nationalist parties in the EU are makin gains, the EU leadership is heading in the other direction.
It seems to be setting the stage for an EU breakup at some point.

How does Macron become the new face of the EU when his polling numbers are so bad he makes the US Congress look good?
