JACOB SNYDER'S PREDICTIONS

I expect you will be wrong on almost every one of them.

The reason is that your premises have distorted your analysis to such a point it now appears grotesque.

I've been reading your posts for months and they're based on these kinds of premises:

The US administration only does things from the basest motives.

It always works to benefit the administration's cronies.

If the US has done something right, it was an accident.

The US administration is reliably dishonest.

And so forth. It's not an exhaustive list.

For any given action the administration might act from base motives, or may benefit it's cronies, or may be dishonest, or may get it right accidentally, but to use these things as premises is a mistake.

Your lens is as distorted as that of folk who think the administration can do no wrong.
