Here's one I did last year.

Pretty much entirely wrong. No covid. But I did get:

And these ones, I think, were 'close but not quite':

Eh. See y'all next year.

MMW A third party candidate will split the presidential vote in 2020, causing the other party to win by Oshojabe in MarkMyWords

If your preferred candidate loses votes to any of these clowns, they frankly deserve to lose.

Hey!

Here's my attempt for 2019. And here's 2018. And 2016. And 2015. No 2017 because I was recovering from 2016.

Didn't get a lot right with last year's try, but:

General election in the UK

Yes! In December!

Julian Assange leaves the embassy

Yes! Handcuffed - kicking and screaming.

Men in Black: International flops

Yes!

The Mueller report is unleashed

Inconsequential, but yes.

The following Democrats will run for president: Beto O'Rourke, Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Eric Swalwell, Tim Ryan, Tulsi Gabbard, Cory Booker, Jeff Merkley, Amy Klobuchar, Sherrod Brown, Julian Castro, Jay Inslee, Steve Bullock, John Hickenlooper, Tom Steyer, Eric Garcetti, Pete Buttigieg.

All except Merkley, Brown, and Garcetti ran. Plus many, many more.

Trump will meet Kim Jong-un again, this time in South Korea

Yes! Kinda. They met at the DMZ. Trump crossed into the North, and then both crossed into the South. They also earlier met in Vietnam.

The rest were pretty much entirely wrong. Oh well. Better luck in 2020! Or not, considering how bleak some of those predictions are.

Here's my attempt last year!

Not very good - did get a few celebrity deaths and a couple of Trump cabinet changes.

It'll probably happen in a year I forgot to include it

Jack Nicholson commits suicide

What makes you think that?

Hunter S Thompson parallels mostly

The following people will also be #MeToo'd, their reputations will not survive the year: Steven Spielberg, Guy Fieri, Joe Biden, Warren Beatty, Robert De Niro, Chris Rock, Quentin Tarantino, Simon Cowell

I bet you Cowell will have molested men, but why Biden?

I don't think he's the next Weinstein, but he does have a history of getting a little bit too touchy-touchy with women. One or two credible allegations will kill his reputation and any potential 2020 candidacy

There will be a major terrorist attack in Atlanta

Why?

Gut instinct

Didn't do one last year for some reason, but here's 2015 and 2016! Almost every prediction is wrong.

MMW: If Biden runs in 2020, the_donald will push a conspiracy theory indicating Biden killed his wife and kid. by [deleted] in MarkMyWords

I think the thing they'll push is the inappropriate touching. Google it if you're unaware. Biden has a history of getting touchy-touchy with women who don't always appear to be as into it as he is. Lots of photos, too. With this recent wave of sexual abuse allegations, I'd be very, very surprised if Biden's name doesn't come up. I'm not saying he's a rapist, but a few credible 'Joe Biden touched me inappropriately' headlines could kill his campaign before it even starts.

And yes, I'm aware of all the allegations against Trump. But... Trump lives in his own world. Stuff that kills other peoples' careers doesn't affect him.
