A couple come to mind. Mark Cuban stating the market will collapse after he is inaugurated. And for anyone blaming our current economy on him , rather than covid is a idiot. Also, I remember hearing that he was going to start the next world war with NK and or China.

Oddly enough, the last 4 years have been prosperous, and no new wars.

He has also stated that he'll work with and respect the advice of Dr. Fauci and the CDC.

2. Improved economy, as Corona virus is defeated and stores reopen and more jobs are available. Not so much working from home. Schools, churches, etc. reopening. Life slowly returning to pre-virus normal, though at a slower pace than we'd all like.

3. More regard for the environment and protecting the public's interest in it from big business/big oil interests.

4. Improved relations with our traditional foreign allies. More foreign leaders visiting the United States, when travel become feasible again.

5. More humane treatment of the most vulnerable among us, with assistance to help them thrive at their best level, whatever that may be.

6. A President who tells us the truth and who is an intelligent and empathetic man of conscience, with strong experience in both the Legislative and Executive Branches of our government and deep knowledge of how our government is intended to function.

7. Eventually, a more peaceful and civil society, but this is going to take time and trust.

That's seven things I think we can realistically expect to occur during the Biden Administration. All are sorely needed and should be welcomed by patriotic Americans.
I predict none of the above in 2021. in fact, i expect the exact opposite on all points above.

we will see who is right in 12 months.

As time went on, I saw the President lie about things I knew differently. At first I stuffed it off, but they because more frequent.

However, it didn't take long for me to become disillusioned with our President. I could not believe some of the things he would say about events that were happening, and the people involved. There have been many Presidents that I didn't care much for, however I respected the Office. I found it more and more difficult to respect our President. Hearing him bully people, call them names, and disrespect them, just got to be too much.

I'm ashamed he is our President. He didn't drain the swamp, he brought in a load of toxic waste and dumped it. For the life of me, I can not understand how a reasonable person can listen to, and see the actions of Trump, his Cabinet, and attorneys and not see thru the lies and deceit.
Wish I could give this post a rep., but alas, I'm out of reps. for today.

However - welcome to clarity of vision. So glad you and others are seeing things clearly now, and hope soon we'll all see that "rainbow we've been prayin' for" and that it will be a "bright, bright, sunshine-y day" for all of us. Right now, the first rays of sunrise are on the horizon, though there are still some clouds that need to disperse. But the world is turning towards the sunrise.

I'm just looking forward to the news cycle being boring.

When Fox News' headlines for the day are:

"Biden wears silver-tinted aviators instead of blue-tinted aviators, therefore, Biden hates cops!"
"Jill Biden doesn't attend Turkey Pardoning Ceremony because she's too busy teaching students"

We know we are in a good place. It reminds me of the Obama Administration when Fox News had scandalous primetime news:

"Obama puts mustard on hamburger!"
"Obama wears tan suit!"

I suppose that's better than:

"US President orchestrates coup attempt." That is real news.

It turned out like these Republican said it would also, before they all changed their tune after Trump win in 2016

For the record, the George W. presidency also fulfilled much of the liberals' predictions.

Oh come on. COVID ruined our economy and the job market. Before that, Unemployment was at a historic all time low, job growth was the best in had been in a decade, and our economy was going great. Even Chris Wallace defend Trump on that one when Biden's pathetic self tried denying it.


And what more could he have done with the crisis? He said we'd have a vaccine before the year was over, and we got one. He tried being hopeful. Sure, he could have done a few things better, but every world leader struggled with this. I highly doubt Hillary would've done a better job. Look at Canada - Trudeau mocked us for months and now Canada is spiking. Pretty pathetic that the man who once was in black-face can't even get a grip on a country that houses less citizens than the state of California alone. England had riots over masks. Italy saw death like they never saw it before. The bottom line is Trump did more than 4 years than the past 3 in office did. And that includes crybabies like you trying to stop him at every turn. Now you're all begging for unity. HAH!

And yet the country tends to boom with Democratic administrations and the most prosperous and innovative states and regions of the country tend to be blue. Heck even the economic boom the Trump tries to take credit for started several years before he took office.

Not really, he lasted his whole term, despite their most desperate efforts, something many Dems predicted wouldn’t happen.
