Looking out the Window at 2019…

I got up on January 1 and hurried to look out the window. The medias made so many predictions during 2018, each one tagged with “Just wait!” that I had to see how many came true.

• No flying cars, hoverboards, sex robots or time machines for 2018. Again. Dammit.
• Trump did not resign, get impeached, or go insane. He was not indicted, arrested, forced to quit, run out via the 25th Amendment, or jailed over the Emoluments Clause.
• It never really became “Mueller Time.”
• Nobody fired Mueller. There was no Saturday Night Massacre.
• Mattis quit in protest, but only because Trump said he wanted to stop a war.
• The U.S. did not go to war with Russia, China, Iran or North Korea. None of those countries invaded America. We’ll have less troops deployed in 2019 than in 2016.
• The Constitution, at least the parts Obama and Bush left intact, was still in place. The Rule of Law, too. No troops in the streets, no economic devastation.

And yet a day later I picked up my New York Times and learned despite being absolutely wrong on all of the above predictions and more, one writer proclaimed 2019 to be the Year of the Wolf, warning “It will be a year in which Donald Trump is isolated and unrestrained as never before. And it will be in this atmosphere that indictments will fall, provoking not just a political crisis but a constitutional one… our very system of law is at stake.” Wooo.

Salon knows what Mueller is up to somehow, and says the walls are closing in, but it’ll be in 2019, not last year like they said a year ago, so make a note of that. It’s because Salon just found out “Russian infiltration and sabotage of the 2016 election and Trump’s subsequent obstruction of justice are hardly the only potential high crimes and misdemeanors likely to be investigated by the new Congress.” Golly, that is worrisome.

Now some guy labeled as a “former Bush advisor” is even more specific. He says “the self-professed supreme dealmaker will use his presidency as a bargaining chip with federal and state authorities in 2019, agreeing to leave office in exchange for the relevant authorities not pursuing criminal charges against him, his children or the Trump Organization.” You have to read all the way to the end, but the former Bush advisor who wrote this widely-linked article had the job of regional administrator of Region 2 EPA under the Bush administration and executive director of the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission, so you know he knows this legal stuffs inside and out.

Another insider, Michael Avenatti, tells us Trump, Jr. is already indicted, but see it’s a sealed secret indictment that only Avenatti knows about because he knows stuff. He’s challenged Don, Jr. on Twitter to deny this and there was no reply. So you know what that means.

And there might be a military coup soon. “There’s a lot of talk in the active ranks right now about these continued assaults on general officers and the military,” retired Army Lieutenant General Mark Hertling told CNN. “Make no mistake about it, it is being discussed in the active ranks about what is occurring with the president and how he’s treating the military.”

But before the coup, that impeachment thing is lit. A USA Today op-ed laid out “damning evidence” Trump attempted Russia collusion in plain sight. I guess Mueller missed this damn evidence, so I hope someone staying in a hotel brings him a copy of the paper so he can check this out. Plain sight no less! The Times must know stuff, too, because they wrote an article called “The Inevitability of Impeachment” and that word (I checked) means it definitely will happen.

So holy crap, this is all really serious! It looks like all the stuff the medias said was gonna happen in 2018 is actually going to happen in 2019 you guys! You heard it here first.
