Hi! Is there a 2023 predictions thread? I usually don’t participate but I like to read everyone’s predictions! Happy new year!

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!
