        Israel sinking a US Navy boat off the Gazan coast and blaming Hamas in a false flag to draw the US into a ground war in Gaza would be entirely within their MO

    • Larger war in middle east.

    • GOP succeeds in getting NE electoral votes as winner takes all and ME doesn’t because they’re out of session. The election is tied 269 electoral votes and the supreme court gives it to Trump even though he loses the popular vote.

    • A third assassination attempt, this time Trump walks under a piano suspended over the sidewalk. A cleaver rascal by the name of JD Vance walks past the guys hoisting the piano in full drag and winks at them. Our hapless boys forget to hold the rope as they awooooooga!. Trump doesn’t die from the baby grand dropping on him, but he is unable to serve his term due to his mouth being full of piano keys instead of teeth. Vance becomes president.

    • The US balkanizes, still no healthcare. The treats still flow but they’re all bootleg.

    • Cis women have to wear arm bands to signal when they’re ovulating. Taylor Swift is assigned as Elon Musk’s girlfriend, she is never heard from again.

    • The Lt. governor of NC starts producing porn… It’s really gross.

    I have my bet that Trump will win. Funniest timeline and all, if I can twist the lathe’s arm I’d love to see a Democratic majority house and senate so it totally paralyzes the genocide factory and it devolves into pork-on-pork violence.

      This is probably the best outcome, if the US is too busy with internal issues, they usually leave the Global South alone for a time.

        Unfortunately, the death machine is well designed to not need congressional input to operate.

    I don’t know what event (whether real or false-flag) will happen, but I think that it will be used as an excuse for an information-control crackdown well beyond what we’ve seen so far. The American political establishment has been freaking out about middle east news not being under their control.

      The 1980 October Surprise theory refers to an allegation that representatives of Ronald Reagan’s presidential campaign made a secret deal with Iranian leaders to delay the release of American hostages until after the election between Reagan and President Jimmy Carter, the incumbent

      This is the origin of the phrase, referring to events that happen in the month before the US elections that can impact voting.

      No there’s nothing that Trump could do that would cause them to not vote for him.

      It’s gonna be some pearl clutching bullshit about kamala and it’ll probablly work too lol.

      All the people who have been telling us to hold our nose and vote for kamala despite the whole genocide thing are gonna say they don’t know if they can vote for somebody who smokes pot or some bulkshit like that.

    Donnie junior claims to have found massive amounts of correspondence from Kamala’s DA and AG days proving she discriminated against a large array of ethnicities, but it turns out he just didn’t understand what the phrase “with extreme prejudice” means.
