Twitter Celeb Clue Heywood runs for City Council Yasmin Ansari’s seat, which she vacates to work for Kris Mayes. Clue proceeds to host “Dive Bar” night in the city owned Suns suite and causes an international scandal when Doug Ducey and the Saudi Prince (obviously intoxicated) engage in a duel with swords. Elon Musk buys the Suns to bury the dust up because he’s a “party like it’s 1700” absolutist.

Kyrsten Sinema and Kari Lake retire from politics to open a boutique bed and breakfast, called K & K, in Bisbee, which specializes in "wild berry" flapjacks. All is harmonious until Donald Trump calls and, thinking he's speaking to Kari, offers the VEEP slot to Kyrsten. Hijinks ensue as the two women undermine each other to get selected as running mate: scorpions in pantyhose, etc.

It's always so much easier to comment on someone else's predictions, than to come up with my own, so here's my edits of your predictions, Hank and Rachel:

Ducey's next gig: not the Senate, as he won't actually want to be one of 100, so instead, after the Chamber of Commerce, he will get the franchise for selling ice cream on Mars.

The next budget: The legislature will be unable to come up with one at all, before or after June 30, but will instead finally hammer out a compromise to replace U.S. dollars with Trump trading cards.

It's true that Ward won’t actually step down as AZGOP chair, at least not voluntarily, but she will be indicted and convicted for robbing children's lemonade stands and will run the GOP from prison. Democrats will initially celebrate but then realize the large anti-lemonade lobby will be strengthened.

All sessions will be special.

The bust of Carl Hayden will be replaced by a new one of Ward. It will be made of lemons (see above).

Election losers will indeed keep fundraising off their losses, and use the funds to launch a new series of superhero trading cards (based on Arizona politicians), purchasable only with bitcoin. This will be wildly successful with 2% of the adult population.

I can't improve on this one: Lawmakers will indeed permanently lift the aggregate expenditure limit because everyone is sick of saying those words together.

Here goes: 1. Stock market will continue its melt down, 2. Recession will result in many job losses, 3. Arizona will have severe water and power restrictions, and 4. Politicians wringing their hands but doing nothing. Sounds grim but on the other hand, we will see folks helping each other more than ever, And more folks will look to alternative sources for news rather than Big Tech. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
