I think it would be fun to re-read this in a couple years. Here are my predictions for 2018, feel free to respond with yours, but lets try to keep this thread to your own predictions.

2018 will bring us:

* Credible attempt to impeach Trump. As of right now, I see 25% chance of it succeeding. However, a set of unpredictable events can drastically increase the odds of successful impeachment. If Trump is charged, Pence will not pardon him as he doesn't want to suffer Ford's fate.
* Conclusion of Mueller investigation, he will charge a number of people in Trump's inner circle, maybe even Jared, for financial fraud, and Trump will issue pardons. Evidence of Russia meddling will remain circumstantial.
* 2018 elections will give democrats control of Senate and very close to 50/50 split of congress.
* Bitcoin bubble will pop, contagion will savage tech stocks like Amazon, Tesla and so on.
* NAFTA will still be under negotiation, but not actually repealed or amended.
* Ryan will lose a set of policy fights early in 2018 and resign in protest, this will start revolving door of speakers. I predict 2018 will be the year of multiple speakers.
* SCOTUS will hear NN case, will uphold repeal. Major ISP, like Comcast, will get busted throttling consumer traffic, decrypting HTTPs traffic and injecting adds into all web browsing.

Impeachment on what charge? Liberal butthurt is neither a high crime nor a misdemeanor.

Mueller's investigation has uncovered nothing connected with Trump. What has been uncovered is unprofessional bias that serves to discredit the investigation, and evidence of collusion and wrongdoing on the part of former members of the Obama administration.

One more prediction - Owain will keep having grave difficulties with reading comprehension and following simple instructions.

"Shut up", he explained.

This is an open forum, Sini, not your personal bullshit outlet. If you want that, take it to Facebook. In the KGB political forum, if you post bullshit, expect to get pushback.

If you are still confused, read the guidelines for the KGB political forum.

Now, do you want to address my arguments, or are you stuck on logical fallacies?

Let me try to use shorter words. Don't pollute this thread. I want to talk to adults for a change. I have done more than my share of babysitting you in other threads.

Sini, please point out to me in the guidelines for the KGB Political Forums why I should give two shits regarding your preferences?

As I mentioned, this forum isn't your personal bullshit outlet, so no one is obliged to care what you would or would not like.

Stop shitposting in every thread.

And I refuse, and will comment as I please in the open forum as it was designed to be used. You are under no obligation to respond, but you have no authority to dictate how the forums are to be used.

Were those words short enough for you to understand, or do I have to dumb it down for you?

What useful and insightful discussions we are having of late.

Prediction: This thread will reach 100 posts by the end of February. The vast majority of these posts will be Sini trolling Owain or vice-versa with a sprinkling of doggernaut just to keep the pot stirred.
