Three Predictions For 2016

A woman will lead one of the service branches.

 Fanning was named to be the Secretary of the Army!? Fanning has never served in uniform. He's been a "civil servant" his whole career. He's worse than a rear echelon mother fucker. He's a zero.

Judging by his profile picture, he's a thirsty fucker, too.

Well, maybe two predictions for 2016, then.

The DEA will cease classifying marijuana as a Schedule 1 Drug.

This will be done to blunt any attempt by Donald Trump to appeal to Bernie Sanders voters. Trump has proved himself adept at getting to the left of the Republican establishment. He also has a knack for getting to the left of settled Democratic policy.

He's the only Republican who can safely claim to be on the left of Hillary on the subject of OIF. She voted for the authorization of military force. He is on the record as saying it would be a bad idea.

Also, the FDA will no longer require a prescription for most birth control pills. The Supreme Court yesterday told the lower courts to figure out an accommodation to the birth control mandate. Republican libertarians have been discussing for years the desirability of making birth control pills available without a prescription.

The political expediency of forcing Republicans to "deny healthcare access to women" is long past its sell-by date.

This prediction will only come to pass if and when the federal apparatus tires of flaying politically unwanted constituents like the Little Sisters Of The Poor.
