2017 shall be....

[Eddie Teach]

I doubt that 2017 will be worse than 2018.

And 2019 will make us refer to this year as "the good old days".

Off to a terrible start already, Berkut used a grocer's apostrophe for example....."we are all American's" 

The end of civilisation draws nigh.

Voted "meh". I think that life is still, on average, getting better for the 7 billion; but it may be that that is merely residual momentum from past improvements, perhaps it will all grind to a halt and go into reverse soon

Yeah.  The successor is supposed to understudy Xi for 5 years and succeed him in 2022. 

But that may not happen and Xi may stay on.

Is there anything in particular that indicates that Xi will break with established the CCP succession process?

Xi has moved the policy sliders toward centralisation

What's the last option supposed to mean? Some quote or board meme I'm ignorant of?

Regarding 2017... it's summed up with "I have a bad feeling about this".

2017 will be wretched.  Top off your mugs, mateys.

Thanks for using the name of this error; I hadn't known the name for it until you posted.  What I don't understand is why it is becoming so common.  I almost never used to see it, but now I see it all the time. Adding the apostrophe takes effort; I can understand people using shortcuts, but why longcuts?

One big  thing I'm wondering about with regards to Trump is; do we think he will even see out a full term?
I think the odds are pretty good for him getting impeached. Not to mention that he's not a young guy and could always just die.

It's probably my being on the other side of the Atlantic talking but to be honest I'm not too spectacularly worried about Trump. I think the dems will strike back in 2018 and take the houses, so it's only two years he has to make an ass of the country.

It's brexit which has me far more worried. That is something which really stands to literally end the UK. Scotland should be a peaceful secession but Ireland...jesus that could get messy.
The only possible way for Brexit to possibly "work" is if the government goes full on neoliberal and turns the country into a western Singapore with a large hinterland.
As much as the majority of leave voters may be less than bright people who were tricked, those who did the tricking are not. And what they propose to do to the country....

Just a random gibberish I don't want to vote option.

I can understand the temptation with acronyms.  Putting a small "s" at the end of a series of capital letters can feel a bit odd, so it's easy to assume that some connector is required.

You guys can in fact go fuck yourselves. Or yourselve's. Or yourselves'. Or fuck your elves. For that matter.

A fucking load of crap topped with diharrea.
