3. Dotard being elected president. n/t

Trump is so much worse he makes Reagan (awful piece of trickle down s*it and doer of great damage) sort of look like an esteemed statesman.

[First Speaker]

4. That we wouldn't return to the Moon for 50 years...

5. Television would be so cheap, that everyone would own one...(yes, I go back that far)

[Runningdawg]

6. That UFOs are still being covered up

[Stuart G]

7. Automatic Transmissions would be in every car..the other kind would be "something special"
