So...this time last year I was REALLY sick ringing into the new year. Not a great start, but I guess the year didn't turn out half bad, for me.
And, 2015 didn't necessarily turn out how I expected it to, in so many ways. For my personal life, or in the world.

So...here's a few predictions I have for 2016, keeping in mind that I'm likely to be completely and utterly wrong:

Election-wise:

1)Trump will go down in flames during the primaries, if by him finally managing to alienate his base, or by his supporters not actually showing up to the polls.

2)Ted Cruz will get the Republican nomination

3)Hillary Clinton will get the Democratic nomination (Sorry Bernie)

4)Barring any scandals, Hillary will win the general election. But maybe not by a particularly large margin

5)Republicans will not lose control of congress.

Duggars:

I correctly predicted last year that something would happen with the Duggars, didn't think it would be the molestation thing, which really upset me. Joshley Madison was less surprising, and actually quite funny.

1) If When Josh goes back to Anna, he will probably continue to (attempt to) cheat. Or at least look at porn.

2) Another secret will be exposed, this time centered on JB or JChelle (although I think Joshgate 1 did not paint them in a flattering light)

3)Someone else will end up in a conveniently timed courtship

4)Someone (Jessa most likely) will conveniently do something that indicates they are inching toward fundie lite.

5)Jessa will be no better at mothering than Jill

Other:

1)Bill Cosby will be acquitted of the sexual assault charge, but it will be a pyrrhic victory

2)One of the Kardashians/Jenners (other than caitlyn) will get into trouble with the law

3)Meghan Trainor will continue to put out stupid faux-feminist bullshit music. Or will hopefully fade into obscurity

4)I refuse to believe that flares are going to replace skinny jeans. No. skinny jeans 4ever.

5)Wearing all black will still be cute.

6)LUSH will release those new flavors of lip balm in the US.

Happy New Year, everyone!

      Braggie always thinks so highly of herself that she won’t recognize if she failed to debate well on the podcast. She won’t recognize if she comes off smug or holier than though. She will just say it’s a win for Christianity and go on with her overprivileged life. Someone else will have to listen because I don’t think I can. I might roll my eyes clean out of my head.

      That makes 5 new Mortons in 2024, by my count, and the year is young...

      Does anyone know if Rachel had her baby? Kressant posted an IG story recently with a baby, but didn't say whose.

      Pretty sure it was the friends baby. She had posted about taking stuff to her.

      Also "you weren't ready to have that baby" has a much more awful failure state than "you weren't ready to start a garden". Plants dying from dehydration are kind of sad but it's nothing compared to having your baby die of sepsis because you didn't have the attention span to check and change their diaper regularly.

      I would think having already experienced a uterine rupture, and IIRC this was with Freddy and about 3 weeks before his due date, Jill is in a higher than average risk for untoward events and likely is on a very individualized OBGYN plan. Navigating a pregnancy and safe birth after having had a previous uterine rupture and never having had a vaginal delivery has to make Jill’s care quite unique. I hope she utilizes high risk maternal/fetal practitioners. 

      Everyone is different and it’s her choice of course, but for me only the very crunchy and fundie would even consider a vbac after her horror births.
      It’s so sad that her only chance so far for a natural birth has been her angel baby girl. 
      But for  me, if I was Jill any full term babe would be c section signed up on conception.
