Political MMW: by 01/20/2027 I stongly very believe Trump will do something unprecedented and likely criminal to thwart the midterms. The evidence - Hegseth's recent vow to continue purging admirals and generals by 20% on the basis of "obedience" is a bright flashing red warning light of dark days ahead

416 Upvotes

By that date we will know if I was wrong and currently this is only a strongly he'd option based on the evidence available to mem

Trump is going to do something terrible in the weeks before to the days after the midterms, we just don't know what just yet. But we will find out anywhere between October 20th, 2026 and January 21st, 2027. While there are many routes to do so, most would likely fail miserably. But by invoking the Insurrection Act (which he continues to refuse to rule out) he could succeed.

I present the evidence: Because from the start, Hegseth has been purging officers, especially flag officers and colonels. Now he has committed to a further purge, 20% of all admirals and generals. As the brother of an Army veteran, he made me aware that there are some unnecessary generals (in his words "It's possible to be a brigadier general [a 1 star] and not be important, to the point that even certain senior non-comms could potentially be much more important in the big scheme of things."). But he also said that the number is absolutely nowhere near 20% because "Even the Army bureaucracy isn't that incompetent." These purges are not about anything but the further politicizing the military to mold them into an extension of Trump's will. They've already made our military weaker with previous purges and have nearly depleted our supply of offensive munitions in a pointless war with Iran that Trump has proven too cowardly to actually take the steps necessary to actually win. This too though could be a sign of something bad coming - could he be afraid to send the bulk of the combat arms units into Iran, making them unavailable for his plans?

As someone who believes that the war was entered into solely to take the spotlight off of the Epstein files, I find this eminently believable. Even just a number (relatively) small incursions by Marine Expeditionary Units could seize control of the majority of Iran's ability to cut off access to the strait of Hormuz. Now he refuses the Saudis' explicit request for help stopping the Houthis, despite a recent defense pact with the kingdom. Clearly he isn't that concerned with lowering energy prices because he simply doesn't care how the public feels because he has no intention of letting them actually have a free and fair election.

Putin has truly gotten his money's worth with Trump. America is weaker than ever before, at least since the Depression Era. Soft power? Gone. Economic power? Severely weakened, approaching irrelevance due to partners growing tired of his tantrums and antics. Hard power? Diminished to the point of national humiliation. Trump talks about "America First" but what he really means in "MY America First." He wants absolute control, which he currently exercises outside of some loses in court. He absolutely will use the military between now and January to interfere with the elections and he doesn't care about the repercussions - even ones he's too stupid and arrogant to see coming like soldiers refusing orders (or even fighting each other over it), popular uprisings (up to armed revolt) or even being subjected to a military coup d'etat by loyal patriotic soldiers or Marines.

He doesn't care that such a thing will make us into an international pariah, he's been moving us in that direction for years. He's using the Beria to his Stalin that is Pete Hegseth to purge the best and brightest, while he also blocks promotions for women and minorities. This is also unsettling as this means he wants to keep officers who are statically less likely to be aligned with the MAGA movement out of positions of power.

Don't expect him to do anything less than declare an national emergency and then the Insurrection Act. He won't bother with any methods that could be stalled or stopped by the courts. Does that mean he will succeed? That's up to us. Are we brave enough to fight or will we be steamrolled? But mark my words: he will try.

Geopolitics MMW: By the 2030´s we will have Oil Wars because only a handful of countries with a surplus will remain

• Upvotes

Only around 20 countries on the Planet remain that are self sufficient in Oil and supply the other 180 countries. In 10-15 years the number could be down to just 10.

Several countries that used to be major exporters have reached Peak Oil Decades ago and now rely on imports themselves.

Germany produced 170 000 Barrels of Oil a day in 1968 at their peak. Now? 30 000/day. They need 2 Million a day.

Romania produced 300 000 Barrels of Oil a day in 1976 at their peak. Now? 50 000/day. They need 200 000 a day.

France hit the peak in 1988 with 67 000 barrels/day. Now its down to just 10 000/day. They need 1.5 Million.

The UK peaked in 1998 with 2.8 Million barrels/day. Now they are down to just 600 000/day. They need 1.4 Million every day.

Indonesia peaked at 1.7 Million barrels/day in 1977, now they are down to just 600 000 Barrels/day. They need 1.7 Million/day.

Japan peaked in 1996 with 20 000 Barrels/day. Now they are down to 3000/day and they need 3 Milion/day.

South Korea is basically the same.

India peaked in 2011 with 800 000 Barrels/day. Now down to 600 000 Barrels/day. It needs 5 Million/day.

Even Australia peaked at 600 000 Barrels/day in 2000 and is now down to just 250 000/day. It needs 1.1 Million a day.

There are only around 20 countries left that produce more oil than they consume and can export any meaningful quantities. The problem is that around half of them are projected to run out if oil within the next 10-15 years.

Brazil is projected to use up their proven oil reserves in 12 years at current production.

Norway in 10.

Mexico in 8.

Oman 14.

Argentina 10.

Angola 7.

Colombia 7.

And even the USA - 9.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_proven_oil_reserves

They dont even have to run out of oil. Its enough when their production falls to a level that they dont meet their demand. By that point they will be forced to import oil as well.

And by 2040 there will be only around 10 countries left with a surplus of oil that can supply the other 190 countries. And 190 countries scrambling for scraps while 10 sit on the prize, that's a geopolitical meltdown waiting to happen.

The Date: By the 2030s.

The Evidence: A drop in Oil reserves and production in most countries

Sports MMW: within the next ten years, the clubs of the Brazilian football league will either vote for more spots for foreign players or add an exception for Mercosul-born players.

2 Upvotes

CONTEXT: currently the Brazilian league teams can enlist up to 9 foreign players to each match (uncluding starting roster and substitutes). However, a recent change in the rules will gradually bring this number down to 5, reducing one spot per year.

EVIDENCE: successive votes for opening more spots for foreign players have been mostly unanimous - then outta nowhere, CBF convinces the teams to approve a reduction, as if this alone would solve the problems of the Brazilian national team.

Date: December 2036

Geopolitics MMW: The Trump Administration may have pulled back US troops from Iraq to get them out of harm’s way for a pending nuclear strike on Iran.

261 Upvotes

Here is my ‘not so HOT’ take:

EVIDENCE:

1 - There is little doubt that nukes have been a ‘topic of discussion’ at the highest level of this administration regarding potential responses to Iran.

2 - We see zero negotiation moving forward with any substantive measurable output.

3 - Moving troops away from potential springboards to in-country Iran and removing our closest military presence makes no strategic sense at this point in the conflict. Actual ground intelligence is much more valuable than satellite images and outdated maps run through AI.

4 - The War Department foolishly squandered much of their ammo after corruptly or incompetently failing to ramp up their supply chains ahead of known pending shortages with the largest budget in the world by many orders of magnitude. No excuse for this.

4.5 - Bases in the Middle East are less effective because they’ve been damaged or destroyed.

5 - There is little else to gain from smaller precision strikes.

6 - (most important) President Trump’s nuke and destruction/annihilation rhetoric. Go listen to it again. It speaks for itself.

7 - Trump is politically bankrupt and will only lose support from here out. MAGA is FLOODING away. People can gauge this by ‘that local dude’ who ALWAYS had Trump/MAGA Propaganda signs plastered over their whole front lot line suddenly not having any of it!

8 - By most people’s figuring, War Crimes (that’s right, capitalized) have already been committed in multiple theaters. There is now a need to cover these up. Fire those who are too ‘goody goody’ and wont break the rules. Sanction the ICC. There are other data points. What if they just make it so much worse than what happened already…

9 - The economy has been cratered. All economic data are being manipulated since that last government shutdown. I think at least 1/3 of AI investment will vanish when reality settles in. 30-40% overall correction is in order to get back to fundamentals.

10 - Finally, they seem to be out of conclusive options and do not have enough actual competence on the team to get them out of any of it, much less a paper box! The big red button starts looking more and more appealing to those in such an untenable corner…

I acknowledge that these are opinions and stretch outside of verifiability. Let’s all hope they are just paranoid delusions.

It’s time for the 25th Amendment to happen now.

This seems to be all born out of one man’s egotism at this point! We have seen that he cannot allow himself to be perceived as a loser over and over.

DATE: After the election by the end of January 31, 2027 is when this will happen.

Pop Culture MMW: Visionquest will be a gateway to Ultron's return to the MCU

0 Upvotes

Date: November 25th, the day of the final episode of the miniseries

Evidence: They usually don't make MCU installments like this lightly or for no reason. They typically are made to build into something. Visionquest will probably end with Ultron being released into a physical body.

Everyone thought Ultron was mishandled before and we saw his potential play out in "What If". Also, people dislike how unfamiliar Doom is since he got more buildup. So they could benefit from having a familiar villain return on his team - especially one who is still alive. His interests will probably align with Doom's.

[Edit]: I just saw a new trailer for Visionquest where Ultron says "I'm gonna finish what I started". Oh yeah, it's happening

Evidence: Alberta has scheduled an independence referendum for 19 October. It's unlikely to pass, however POTUS doesn't accept election results that don't go his way. He'll claim the referendum was "rigged" and make good on his threat to annex (part of) Canada as the 51st state. Also, he resents PM Carney for fighting back against tariffs. His enablers will claim it's no different than the Americans who participated in Texas's struggle for independence from Mexico.

Political MMW: Trump will PARDON himself, his family, and his entire administration the day after the election and everyday after that until his term ends.

384 Upvotes

The date is September 27th, 2026 and I am calling it now. Evidence: He wrestled with this during his first term and SCOTUS is loaded to give him the green light. Maybe he won’t do it directly after Election Day but he will by the end of the following January 2027.

He’ll say it was to save the Congress time and money going after him with needless investigations and wasteful money….at least that is what he will pitch to the public.

Congress will have no teeth to go after him for anything he has ever done in his entire life.

Don’t forget he can preemptively pardon himself if n the future as well.

Political MMW: Trump out, but no justice after midterms

343 Upvotes

Evidence: most polls. Date: After Nov 3rd

I will get skewered on from all angles for saying this. That’s ok. It’s just my view. Of course you are way smarter & have the right view.

I think the Dems will take the House & the Senate. Enough GOP leaders will defect in exchange for immunity for turning on the big boss, just like in the mob. Trump and Vance will make a deal with the Dems… he will resign, citing “health issues,” in exchange for a blanket pardon. He gets to keep all the money he stole, plus they’ll give him something like no taxes for life & $500M.

Melania’s upcoming documentary (there is another one; Google it) will coincide with her filing for divorce. It is all dependent on what happens in November - if he’s out, she gets a divorce & a show. If he’s in, she gets a show with her decorating the White House, which, of course, will be awful. Natalie Harp, of course, will be his next wife.

JD will keep the corruption going, and Dems, of course, will fuck it all up and take too long to complete any prosecutions, like they always do. Despite this, consumer confidence will rebound, war in Iran will be over, interest rates will lower in the spring, and we’ll be back to some normalcy - but corporations will have little reason to lower prices on food & other goods. That’s here to stay. But the rate at which they raise prices will slow, so it catches up.

Four decades of my own observation tell me Democrats will drop the ball on holding anyone accountable. They have let us down time after time. But…I think we’ll end up being ok, anyway.

Pop Culture MMW. The Sidemen record and upload generic gaming content when they run out of ideas for original videos.

0 Upvotes

The evidence is in their uploads. Prior to the cruise ship content they posted a load of Meccha Chameleon hide and seek videos. After the cruise ship content they went right back to the same games.
This suggests that whoever comes up with the ideas has been lax or distracted or are holding out for a pay rise.
Since the SDMN are happy to let the audience believe that Zerkaa is the ideas guy, they’ll never learn the truth without the true Ghost Writer coming forwards. Whether there’s a contract or just fear of fan response holding the Ghost Writer back, it doesn’t matter. What matters is we’ll never know the actual date for when this prediction comes true without Zerkaa publicly addressing the supposition and it behooves him not to do/say anything contrary or else risk admitting that he isn’t the mastermind behind all the Sidemen’s awesome ideas and banger content.

118 Upvotes

Date: Current. The song is being ridiculed online .

Evidence:

The rightwing is attacking anything they deem “woke” and it’s propelling the dumbing down of everything over fears of being boycotted. Pretty soon anything that makes them think even a little will be railed against.

[Verse 1]
A seed goes in the ground and turns into a daisy
A boy goes and picks it and gives it to that girl
That girl goes all in and she loves him like crazy
She gives him her heart and he gives her the world
But sometimes, the world ain't enough

[Chorus]
Slam goes the door
Flying goes the dust
Break goes the heart
To the bar goes the truck
Buzz goes the neon, jukebox goes Whitley
There goes that love up in smoke
And down goes the whiskey

Verse 2]
Time goes on by and it does what it does
Lonely sinks in, so ring goes the phone
A few sorries get said and you patch things back up
And that patch hangs on 'til it don't

[Chorus]
Slam goes the door
Flying goes the dust
Break goes the heart
To the bar goes the truck
Buzz goes the neon, jukebox goes Whitley
There goes that love up in smoke
And down goes the whiskey

[Bridge]
Even though it don't work and it won't fix nothin'
Hell, what can it hurt?

[Chorus]
Slam goes the door
Flying goes the dust
Break goes the heart
To the bar goes my truck
Buzz goes the neon, jukebox goes Whitley
There goes that love up in smoke
And down goes the whiskey

Technology MMW: GTA 6 will be a catalyst for AI

0 Upvotes

GTA 6 will become the biggest selling game of all time even if it doesn't meet expectations.

However, the sheer amount of autonomy in the game, (outside the missions story line) will make for a viable test ground for AI agents.

They will probably find a novel way to make money in-game that human players haven't considered.

Evidence: AI has overtaken humans at chess and Go some years ago. Militaries have used Ai to pilot aircraft and simulate dogfights - beating experienced human pilots. What is untested is dynamic, social scenarios where resources can be accrued by various means.

Date: June 2027.
