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

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.

Holy shit, this is exactly what will happen.

You're cheating by reading the "to do" list of Project 2025.

Sadly, I could see quite a few of these happening. But probably not in just 1 year.
