"Deus ex machina", my friends.
Trust me, it will strike from the firmament. No one could have predicted what happened last time. This time will be no different.

The situation will become so unstable that shit will happen and it will come out of left field. We just don't know what it will be. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_swan_theory

5. Is it really a "Black Swan" if we know it is coming?

Unlike 9/11, the GFC and COVID, (which still had warning signs for the vigilant), we know from past experience that Trump 2.0 will unquestionably leave America more vulnerable to whatever threat comes its way.
P.S. Black Swan and Deus ex Machina are not the same thing,

From Wikipedia:
Deus ex machina (/ˌdeɪəs ɛks ˈmækɪnə, ˈmɑːk-/ DAY-əs ex-MA(H)K-in-ə,[1] Latin: [ˈdɛ.ʊs ɛks ˈmaːkʰɪnaː]; plural: dei ex machina; English "god from the machine" [2][3] is a plot device whereby a seemingly unsolvable problem in a story is suddenly or abruptly resolved by an unexpected and unlikely occurrence.[4][5] Its function is generally to resolve an otherwise irresolvable plot situation, to surprise the audience, to bring the tale to a happy ending or act as a comedic device.[6]
Is that what you really meant?

I think she's too busy with the wildfires in CA right now. I was pretty sure I saw someone about 4' tall running around by one of the fires with a rather large hunting style knife strapped to their hip.

I heard Gavin nuisance saying on the radio in 2021 that since Biden was in office all the problems with wildfires would be corrected. I wonder what happened?

There's this weather phenomenon called, "Santa Ana Winds". Throw in a campfire of the Sacred Homeless or an arsonist ...

You know, I'm not too bright so would someone explain to me:
Now I’m just talking Pennsylvania where I lived for 66 years, so what do I know?
The electorate voted for President Biden by some 80000 plus votes in 2020. Since then, Orangina has been convicted on 34 felony counts, has lost his mojo, is voicing clearly racist and anti-Semitic tropes in a manner even he had not previously, is infirm physically and mentally by any measure, and had failed the country in many many ways as President, but most notably, or ignominiously, causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans due to his deliberate fumbling of the COVID crisis. He is obviously losing his grip on reality, diction, sentence construction, and just about everything else in this corporeal universe.
The Democratic nominee has galvanized the minority population, the young, the labor movement, Republicans who will vote against Trump, and a multitude of groups who want to see this grade-a sociopath go down to a stunning defeat.
So the candidates are tied? I don’t think so. And yes, I recognize that it heresy around here to say anything optimistic. Before I do, I promise that I shall not verbally repeat any of this to a soul, and that I will GOTV and I will not rest for a single moment from today until 2028 or even 2029 and work for our Party.
But I believe we are going to win PA going away and since the polls close at 8PM EST, it will be called for Harris before 9:00. On the same night.
