I searched and there does not seem to be a thread for this.
Here is your chance to record your predictions and check on them after a few years.
This is off thread and may quickly sink, but here are 20 of mine on July 31 2017.
1) Steve Bannon gone by September.
2) Trump tweets for investigation of Priebus for leaks.
3) Trump tax forms released by Feb 2018.
4) Forms show dealings with Russians,,
5) Trump does not sign Russian sanction bill but lets it go into law after 10 days of congress being in session.
6) Trump does not stay in office until the 2020 election
7) At some point , He will fire assistant AG Rosenstien.
8) He will somehow remove Sessions as AG
9) An international crisis will develop that the understaffed State Dept will be unprepared for
10) No Tax reform bill will be passed in 2017
11) No Infrastructure bill will be passed in 2017
12) There will be a continuing resolution before or if the budget is passed.
13)There will be a last minute deal to avoid a goverment shutdown in September.
14) Warriors win third title 2018
15) Kelly Ann Conway resigns to spend more time with her children.
16) Mike pence will not run for president in 2020
17) Tesla stock will hit 400 within a year.
18) 2018 will be the hottest year in recorded history. CO 2 hits 410
19)Something will happen in the next few years that no one could have predicted.
20) I will check back here , in a year...and see how it all went.
Let's hear your predictions,

Mueller fired before 2018.
Senate decides to do their own investigation week or less before Mueller gets fired.
Mueller is picked by bi-partisan coalition of senior senators to head senate investigation.
It will turn out that someone leaked to the Senate that the President was actually involved and there was information tying him to Russia. That's what I think we need to watch for. But who knows. Either way, watch for Pence to stay WAY in the fricking background trying to save his own neck, even if Trump did nothing (or there is no evidence he did nothing to encourage Trump Jr's activities).

Russian border posts are savagely attacked by forces from the Ukraine, Belarus, Latvia, & Estonia.
Although each country denies attacking Russia, Russian forces retaliate & invade each of those countries, defeating & occupying them within days.
Trump refuses to allow U.S. forces to become involved in the conflict, but Tweets that the invaded countries "deserved to get invaded & that he is willing to negotiate an end to the conflict with Putin, that will guarantee Peace in Our Time!"

Maybe. I could be way off base, but I think Honnold might have slammed the door on that one for a while. Some climbing achievements beg for a second ascent, others not so much.

I predict that North Korea will test their 6th ICBM in December.
I Predict that the prevailing winter winds coming off the Siberian Plateau will cause the missile to drift eastward and it will unintentionally land in a northern Japanese province where the impact destroys an organic miso factory.
I predict Japan will retaliate by attacking North Korea with drone deliveries of plastic Hello Kitty dolls.
I predict China will object and respond by pirating the Hello Kitty figurines and producing them for a third of the cost, then selling them to Walmart where Stupid Americans will buy them as a protest against nuclear proliferation.
Then Kim Kardashian will post a pic of her tw#t and we will forget about North Korea.
These things I predict.

I predict that at some time during Trumps visit to Texas he will talk about himself and how well his team is doing during this emergency.
Houston is hit hard and is going to get hit again, imagine having an elderly family member when you are flooded. So many family's affected.
It is good that so many people with boats are helping out. An incredible natural disaster .

OK so its been a year, lets see how we all did.
Original post from July 31 2017 below.
I searched and there does not seem to be a thread for this.
Here is your chance to record your predictions and check on them after a few years.
This is off thread and may quickly sink, but here are 20 of mine on July 31 2017.
1) Steve Bannon gone by September.
Yep..
2) Trump tweets for investigation of Priebus for leaks.
Did not Hapen
3) Trump tax forms released by Feb 2018.
Nope
4) Forms show dealings with Russians,,
Not yet
5) Trump does not sign Russian sanction bill but lets it go into law after 10 days of congress being in session.
He sat on it for 8 days or so before signing it.
6) Trump does not stay in office until the 2020 election.
We shall see,,
7) At some point , He will fire assistant AG Rosenstien.
We shall see,,
8) He will somehow remove Sessions as AG
Again , we shall see,,
9) An international crisis will develop that the understaffed State Dept will be unprepared for
That has not happened.
10) No Tax reform bill will be passed in 2017
I was wrong on this one.
11) No Infrastructure bill will be passed in 2017
I was right on this one.
12) There will be a continuing resolution before or if the budget is passed.
I think this happened but would have to check
13)There will be a last minute deal to avoid a goverment shutdown in September.
As usual ,yes.
14) Warriors win third title in 2018.
Was there ever any doubt..
15) Kelly Ann Conway resigns to spend more time with her children.
I was hoping,
16) Mike pence will not run for president in 2020
Too early to decide,
17) Tesla stock will hit 400 within a year.
Not yet. It go's up, and it go's down
18) 2018 will be the hottest year in recorded history. CO 2 hits 410
This is happening right now. CO 2 has hit 410
19)Something will happen in the next few years that no one could have predicted.
This could be North Korea or Trump in Helsinki. but I will leave that up to you
20) I will check back here , in a year...and see how it all went.
I think I got 7 or 8 fairly close. Out of 20.
How did you do with your predictions?
