I'm tilted by "Next 7-10" instead of "Next 10". The 7 in that statement is meaningless.

i'm tilted by the total and complete lack of respect for the forum, starting a new thread then saying he doesn't really have any content for the thread until after *something* actually happens, at which point he promised to come back to say he told us so

That was the first thing I thought of too

I predict that trump is going to say something controversial via his twitter handle @realDonaldTrump within the next 3-9 days.

Maybe OP intentionally excluded the first six days, tho.

He pulled a Trump though and managed to rule out the only non-ridiculous explanation:

Terrorist attacks, OP wins thread.

OK, I agree - there's no need to be coy about this ...

Cuserounder came closest to nailing what I have in mind in the 3rd paragraph of his reply.

<begin>

I think impeachment and Article 25 are on the table, though. Both because his response to Charlottesville was beyond defensible and because it will cripple their ability to push their agenda which means the donor class may start pushing for Pence to take over.

<end>

What will happen in the next 7-10 days will not be impeachment per se. What I think is more likely is a constitutional crisis triggered by Trump making a move to get rid of Robert Mueller and stop the special counsel investigation in its tracks. Trump will take some kind of action to get in place somebody in the Justice Department who will do his bidding and fire Mr. Mueller. When that happens, all hell breaks loose. Trump will attempt to justify his action by claiming that Mueller going into his personal finances "crosses a line" that (Trump thinks) should not be crossed. An alternative action might be Trump issuing blanket pardons [preemptively] to General Flynn, Paul Manafort, Carter Page, Roger Stone, various family members, et al. which would have the effect of negating any efforts [by Mr. Mueller] to "flip" these individuals into agreeing to cooperate and testify against Trump.

Attempting to fire Mueller will create a political firestorm that will make Trump's Charlottesville gaffe look minor in comparison. The last [true] constitutional crisis the country experienced was Watergate, so it's not an exaggeration to refer to such an event - if it does occur - as a "politically explosive" event.

I'm just guessing that this will happen in the next 7-10 days as Trump will have to make such a move sooner rather than later. (The longer he waits, the more of a threat Bob Mueller becomes.) Trump is not worried so much about impeachment and being tried in the Senate - he thinks he can probably beat being convicted in the Senate. What Trump is really worried about is being tried in criminal court (once he's out of office), convicted, and winding up in prison. Being handcuffed and forced to wear an orange prison jumpsuit is the ultimate humiliation for Donald Trump. He'll do whatever he thinks he has to do to avoid that fate.

Nah, that will not happen in the next 7-10 days, but you can keep predicting it and if it does happen you can claim you knew it in advance, much like the people who said online poker would die for years feeling empowered when Black Friday came along (even though that also did not end online poker).

I understand not wanting the forum to be littered with **** threads, but why are you guys so triggered by Alan?

There's a certain charm to having a complete lack of understanding of forum etiquette without being a dick to other posters. Would much rather read his posts than five pages of goofyballer and Ikes arguing over word definitions.

Also, no way Trump allows his presidency to end prior to Xi Jinping handing over half of Africa to Fredo in exchange for policy concessions.

Monteroy:

Do you have a reading comprehension problem? I clearly stated [predicted] that Trump will make some kind of move on Mueller in the next 7-10 days. I did not say that I would "... keep predicting it until it [eventually] comes true." (Nice attempt at trying to put words in my mouth.) If nothing "dramatic" happens with respect to Mueller and his Trump-Russia investigation by August 27, then I am wrong - again. My "bold prediction" will have gone down in flames. Period.

Not that I necessarily "know" anything, (I don't), but does anybody really believe Vice President Pence cancelled his overseas trip solely in order to attend a special meeting at Camp David to discuss Afghanistan war policy? Rumors are floating around D.C. that something big involving the Mueller investigation is about to break. "Time will tell ..." as our President likes to say.

I have some thoughts about that, but I'll let you guess what they are.

I get what you are saying your posts are not complex. I was merely suggesting that you continue with your "bold predictions" until you eventually get one right, and at that time you showcase it with a lot of splendor, even if your record by then is 1-200 or so.

You seem to enjoy the exercise of bold predictions, I was just trying to help structure a way for you to get to a claim of victory, given you will eventually be right about something just due to math. I believe you will be wrong on this one, but that is mainly betting against your prediction history, so if I am right then I will be 1-0 and will retire undefeated! Hope that better explains things.

All the best.

What will happen in the next 7-10 days will be low cal zero trans fat impeachment per se dog.

Can't it be neither?

lol just saw this thread. lol.

Thread by Alan >> CTRL-F "Watergate" >> Great success!

what is the reason to not state what you think is going to happen?

OP you just said a bunch of nothing

I'm tilted I didn't notice this.

Co-Author of "The Art of the Deal" Predicts Trump Will Resign Presidency in Exchange for Total Immunity

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/...on=us_politics

This has nothing to do with my [present] prediction, (which only has seven more days to run), but Tony Schwartz - the ghost writer of Trump's "The Art of the Deal" - has made a bold prediction of his own concerning where he thinks the Trump train is headed.

According to Tony Schwartz, the co-author of Trump’s memoir “The Art of the Deal,” the president will not make it until the end of the year: he predicts that the former reality TV star will step down by autumn, if not sooner.

Having spent 18 months shadowing and interviewing Trump, Schwartz has a fair understanding of the property tycoon’s psyche. And, he believes that in exchange for renouncing the presidency, Trump will try to negotiate some kind of immunity deal from the Russia scandal.

We already have a Trump prediction thread for these kinds of posts.

EXPLOSIVE Prediction: someone will make a prediction

FYP:

As the great philosopher Paul Gascoigne famously said.

I never predict anything and I never will.
