Senate committee expands probe into Jill Stein's "possible collusion" with Putler! I predict if the Dems can't get Trump, they'll try to at least destroy the non-Neoliberals
Consolation Prize?

Whackiest Prediction: As the Base thinks they are minutes from impeaching Trump, the Democrats are about to be ensnared in a counter intel trap that will be writen about a century hence. And there may be more than one story.

If Mueller doesn't find anything sufficiently damning on Trump, the line will become "He was a Republican All Along anyway."

Heraclitusstudent says

The republicans will ride Trumps to the ground: putting forward all the shameful laws they desperately want for him to sign.
Once his popularity sinks below 30% they'll turn around and throw him under the bus.
This is not gonna be a fun year for Trump.

Who you kidding? Trump lives for these kind of fights. He was low on the list of Republican nominees for me, but all i see now is how badass he is.

True.

Everyone forgets he comes from NYC, the battleground of the world. If you can make it and crush the competition in NYC, you can do it anywhere.

"will become"? He's always been a Republican and all the investigations have been run by Republicans.

Dems have no say and have never had any say on the investigation.

Your Predictions here. Don't be a pussy.

In 2008 stocks will increase at least 6% in 2018.

Kim Jong Ugh of North Korea will be dead or arrested by 2020.
Islamic terrorists will continue to kill babies in 2018.
Trump will be reelected in 2020. Demorats will still complain of Armageddon.
Home prices will increase by double digits in 2018.
Strategist will not win the couple of lotto tickets he might buy in 2018.

Like the Zika epidemic?

I'll call it right here: zika will be way worse and impactful to the US than ebola and the real tragedy is we won't do enough now and it will cost more lives and money in the long run. This may be a drastic example of the harm our bad governance inflicts on us.

Absolutely, like Zika, and I don't see you making a case for Ebola being more severe or greater threat. Zika has killed more and infected more, and is just waiting to flare back up out in the environment again. Ebola isn't going to do that natively in the US.

For 2018 though, I was thinking more an interesting new flu, maybe animal/livestock related. (shrug) Who knows, but there will for sure be something interesting, with potential global reach, happening in 2018.

Of all the million possible predictions, of all the problems going on in the world, you pick a "new flu" Oh God, please help humanity.

Haha ... I put some predictions out there as well. :) There is always a "new flu" though. I'm pretty confidant we will see another diseases, with potential pandemic characteristics, take center stage for awhile in 2018, is all.

Didn't we already get that?? It's called TDS, and it arrived in 2016, with little chance of letting up in 2018.

It's affecting almost half of the country and there is no cure. I would call TDS a definite pandemic.

I predict that what happens will be events that nobody predicts.
However, somebody, somewhere, will profit from fooling others that they are capable of prediction.

US market will advance substantially 15% +
International markets will advance even more.

The biggest gains are to be gained just before we go down into recession. My humble guess is fall 2018 we will be sliding into recession.

It might be 2019 though.

I'm planing to sell everything at around DOW - 29 000

I think people want to see it above 30 000 and it will get there. But it won't stay there for very long.

This is my I don't know anything being no pussy prediction.

Dow 30k by November next year when the economic indicators come out. Brief slowdown for three months over the holidays as people ride the accelerating trend of “buying fewer presents for extended family and friends and instead having parties.”

Mueller exonerates Trump in a formal statement and then resigns, inspiring a National Democrat Day of TDS.

Trump fires McMasters and replaces with someone not so swampy.

Electric vehicles continue to rise in popularity.

Some states finish autonomous vehicle regulation overhaul and implement the rules, leading to a wave of autonomous vehicles on the road. This leads to dire predictions that never materialize.
Drunk driving begins to drop.

Investment in the USA increases significantly, as facilities come online with new manufacturing techniques, more skilled technicians are needed to manage and repair the modern factories.

We start exporting to China actual goods in exchange.

North Korea continues to simmer, but with growing impotence as the economic noose draws tighter.

The housing market continues to trend upwards, especially in areas where new construction is impossible. In areas where construction is possible, a massive wave of residential building ensues.

Following the trending internet sales phenomenon, Malls and strip malls across the country will be sold off, razed, and turned into trendy condos.

Being healthy and fit will be increasingly seen as a sign of wealth and status symbol. Gyms and health clubs will see a rise in membership. Organic food will continue to be ever more popular.

4% growth for the year triggers the first real inflation in decades, prompting the Fed to raise interest rates an entire percentage point. This puts pressure on the bond market, prompting fears about the national deficit. Republicans take another look at the budget with a mind toward spending cuts.

Democrats reprise GOP circa 2008-14 as the “Party of No” signaling their #resistance to each political move. This backfires badly as the escalating boom economy drives a midterm GOP victory, with the House picking up twenty seats and the Senate two.

Democrats spend the next Christmas season alternating between bemoaning the awful voters and wondering where they went wrong?

Schumer and Pelosi are dropped by year end.

I predict that somebody will say that all of their previous predictions have been true, in order to sucker lemmings into investing with their future predictions!

I think SoCal home prices will go down with this tax bill if there will be a $10K cap for state income and property taxes combined.

Vegas market will continue to go up at least 6%. Inventory is very low for some reason.

AAPL will hit $200 and Apple will be the first one trillion dollar company.

Amazon and Google will go up another 25%-35%.

Earlier next year, there will be one more attempt at Trump = Sexist.

Then an attempt that Trump = Racist

Then actually the Dems will return to typical "They wanna take away your Social Security" crap around the Elections.

Also: The Mueller investigation on TRUMP fades away, either because of continued emergence of flagrantly anti-Trump bias by investigators even before they were hired, or because Mueller himself winds things downs. Wild: Mueller pivots to John Podesta.

FINALLY, when the Dems do poorly in 2018, the SJWs will demand it's because the Democratic Party is too racist, sexist, and homophobic, while the Neoliberals argue it's because they haven't defended the "Amazing Economy since Clinton" and they need to double down on TPP, Mass Immigration, etc.

- those who didn’t buy crypto in 2017 will regret it in 2018.

- there will be no stock market crash.

- Trump will be re-elected in 2020 (assuming he voluntarily runs for a 2nd term)

He would be absolutely crazy to run for a second term. He first has to survive this one without an assassination attempt.
