Since the joke of “that was not on my 20XX bingo card” is so popular and we’re facing a dangerous year in front of us, what’s on your 2025 bingo card?

here are some of mine with varying degrees of confidence,

  • Taylor Swift gets in controversy over something dumb
  • U.S. nationwide HRT ban proposed
  • Bluesky gets advertisements
  • Florida gets exactly 3 hurricanes
  • some sort of glass shortage
  • coca cola gets in a lawsuit
  • skibidi toilet creator does something controversial
  • Elon musk tries to buy Wikipedia
  • 0x01

    • powell ousted from the fed and govt seized control, leading to a massive change in fed funds rate
    • prison for political enemies of trump, specifically schiff, pelosi, and a few of the louder voices in the room. Prison for some state leaders, MA and CA especially
    • nationwide ban of gay marriage, nationwide laws against abortion
    • capital gains reduced significantly, 20% now down to 10%
    • vpn ban
    • trump pushing for national acceptance of a cryptocurrency he has significant stake in, as an official act
    • palestine, ukraine, and taiwan falling. Tremendous suffering continues or starts for the people of those nations
    • Russia furthers its invasion into europe
    • Muslims begin to be treated as scapegoats for trumps vitriol, the next victims after general immigrant deportations
    • A new amendment to the constitution is proposed and passes to allow more terms for trump, with clearly questionable acceptance in state legislatures, perhaps under direct threat of jail

    God I hope I’m wrong.

      This aint happening in 99 of 100 timelines

      But what I think will happen is, they run trump again (if he’s still alive, that is), then supreme court says he’s inelligible by 5-4.

      Then they tell the Magats to write him in anyways. Then if he wins the write in vote, he wouldn’t technically be eligible, but the democratic candidate also won’t have the electoral vote to be president. Then they’ll vote him in as Speaker of the House (who does not need to be a member of the house), then trump becomes acting president. Supreme court then says its fine because its only acting president, so the “shall not be elected more than twice” clause doesn’t apply.
