No, not really. It’s just that all politicians are predictable.
I think the United states of America is turning into Springfield lol, for real !
Can’t wait to see what Simpsons joke comes true next
Did anybody ever find out what covfefe was?
Plot twist: the simpsons are from the future and trying to warn us
I remember seeing a post once that the simpsons predict everything because they do everything They’ve had 30 seasons full of bits, most political stuff has been covered at some point
Lying T.E.D. An Embarrassment to my Republican Party
Hmmmm there were a lot of politicians on vacation. Let’s pick on one hahaha
NOW THIS is not news, it's satire, and off the worst kind, Childish and pathetic.
Imagine getting brainwashed by slander Propaganda
Pure Propaganda!!
This is slander!
Ted Cruz must resign!!!
The Simpsons doesn't predict anything. It's just that society has become so absurd it starts to look like a parody of itself.
Are you fkn serious, and how many democratic representatives, mayors, and senate members went to Cancun or on vacation during their states moment of crisis? New York, Cali... tell me how many again
Well, your politicians are greedy, cronyistic, cynical self-centered shameless people. Caricature that as much as you can, they’ll end up doing it in real life anyway.
No they didn't, it just shows when a disgusting person takes no responsibility for anything and yet is incharge of a public office. Vote Cruz out.
I always make sure to avoid walking through political news conferences when aimlessly playing my steel drum
The writer for this show is a time traveller..
NowThis doesn’t cease to disappoint. I knew the “predictions” would be dumb and unimpressive, but I wasn’t ready for this.

Boo hoo snowflake. Don't melt.
Simpsons did it!!!
Simpsons writers just chillin out, feeling like the founding fathers
Imagine voting for a wall to separate Texas and Mexico, but then fly to Mexico when Texas becomes unbearable to live in because a blizzard visited for the week.
Great accents by the cartoon characters. 😂😂😂😂😂
So Biden is President Lisa?
in all fairness, simpsons has been running long enough to predict almost everything.
It wasn't a scandal in any sense
He was telling the truth when he said "There is no collusion between me, my campaign and the Russians". He never even met his campaign team.
Unbelievable!
They only predict a politician would do this, which isnt much of a surprise. Pretty much shows problem exist way beyond, just that social media is bigger now.
The simpson just do there research before they make an episode
I don't think the writers predict the future, thats silly. They're obviously writing the future on magical paper.
This is a reach. Do better Now This
Enough already, lol. The simpsons does not 'predict' the future, it's fake nonsense news.
Did they predict cuomo
Why aren't they specific and say a Texas Senator named Ted Cruz will abandon the state during a statewide freeze and blackouts for Cancun in 2021. They are really trying to hard to convince us they are prophets. Prophets are never wrong and Simpsons have thousands of years and thirty years of false predictions
Anyone else get click baited like me?
POOCHIE IS WHAT MADE MY JAW DROP
The Simpsons are the Shakespeare of our age! :)
Nice vague interpretation
We should just stop with the videos of the Simpson's "did they predict it". Yes!! Of course they predict everything..duh!! No question. The writers sold their souls long ago for the one power to predict all the stupid things...well all stupid things stupid people do😂😂😂 Why they will out live us all😂😂
Not exactly a prediction, things like that happened then and happen now. Some politicians are just a-holes through and through.
Whoever created this is a very stable genius indeed 😂

Telling you bro someone needs to get groening talking...
Let's be honest, what hasn't The Simpson's predicted yet?
Some of these are reaching.
Groening is a contemporary gospel, others being Rob Zemekis, Carl Sagan, and MJ.
People in power have been doing this for centuries. It was rumoured one of the Romanovs fled to Mexico
Not everything the simpsons does is a prediction
Yes the Simpsons Predicted Ted Cruz's Cancun Scandal
Might have predicted, or inspire the actions
TOBIAS!
They didn't predict anything, politicians have been doing this forever.
Most shameful period in America. USA is no longer seen as an example for other countries.
Probably just portraying things that have happened before. Even our Prime Minister went to Hawaii during the bushfires here last year. Having said that, it's the same episode which has already 'predicted' a few things about 2020/21.
Lol. It’s just predictable, people are horrible
They should've include dates when Simpson aired and when the event happened
Pretty soon nobody will read the Nostradamus almanacs.
Calling Ted a 'slimy politician' is insulting to slimy politicians.
The Simpsons writers aren't clairvoyant, they just write political punchlines that are satirically over the top... It just so happens that Republicans have sunk so low that satire actually describes them accurately now.
U-R-GAY
No kidding I live 1 hour from the border and I had to go to Mexico to actually get Gas after the storm.. Yes, I paid 3 something the gallon but at least I fill up all my vehicles and left some stored just in case..

Who ever believes the Simpson predictions are autistic.......
Vote the cuban Canadian out of office, pinche cubano traidor.
Did he really say asbestos is good? Wtf people common.
Guys, the segment where President Lisa is discussing with her cabinet about the budget crisis was making fun of the then popular third party, the Reform Party, whom Trump gave his support at the time. Don’t rely on the Simpsons predicting future events, life is filled with coincidences and surprises.

I need to rewatch this show, there’s so much I probably didn’t understand when I watched this in middle school.
This quickly dived into apophenia: setting patterns where patterns don’t actually exist.

True. Ted Cruz is still a sad excuse for a leader though

Jamaica is not Mexico
No. These were more like editorials for the time. No matter how things seem, it does not mean someone controls or decides our futures, they don't. The only ones who create the futures & everything in it are everyone who's here now. 🐦
The 🅱️apitalist hellscape is quite predictable. Yes.
That man don't want to deal with y'all that's why it went on vacation he said it is what it is 🥶🥶🥶🐕🐕🐕
It’s called predictive programming
🤣😂🤣🤣 too accurate
Great video edit but those are not predictions, it is common sense and simple logic describing those people in the senate and presidency as it has always been...
they are portraying the very human behaviors. so either way you look at it, life imitates art and art imitates life. the Simpsons just articulate them well.
Ah! Q is the Simpson's writers...
I'm not sure to laugh about this or cry
The simpsons need to stop.
Build a wall around Ted Cruz.
Some has a time machine and they ain’t sharing... not cool! Ai caramba
Even the SAME VOICE & SAME PERSONALITY as Ted’s. Goodness gracious 😳
The Bahamas is not Cancun, Mexico.
3:54 - there's a suspicious break in that sentence...
This is such a stretch lmao
Good satire becomes difficult to distinguish from reality.
Ugh, those aren’t predictions just coincidences.
Using a cartoon as a playback doesn't make it a prediction
Um who cares if Ted Cruz went to Mexico.

@Gabriel Rodriguez 53% of texas voted for trump. texas is starting to change, the old republicans are dying and the younger people are becoming old enough to vote, and i can tell you because im one of those people who live here in texas that the majority are on the left.

@Gabriel Rodriguez clearly you don’t know anything about texas’ energy, because renewable energy makes up a tiny percent of the state’s energy. texas gets its energy mostly from nonrenewable sources like natural gas and oil and has its own power grid, because the stupid republicans think that operating their own power grid instead of being interconnected with other states is smart. terrible republican leadership in texas, can’t wait to see it flip blue someday.

@daniel neubecker Hmmmm Andrew Cuomo is in hot water about the nursing home scandal. Texas is dumb enough to have renewable energy. Let’s keep on building the keystone pipeline.
Yea but it wasn't an escape from texas. He said it was a mistake and Ted's not the senator
Love the Simpsons!!!
Nothing is a conscience on this show called Planet Earth! We the audience are the dumb ones, but the actors and directors are sitting back laughing!
This was better than I expected.
I said it before they have sold their souls to the devil.
