October Surprise is going to be a leak of Trump’s tax returns.

I heard a group of reporters on Sirius radio the other day openly advocating for a leaker to come forward: "You would think that someone would be able to access some of the relevant portions and bring them forward."

Didn't seem to occur to them that they were talking about breaking the law.

Repealing the income tax would fix this problem.

On Day 1, President Trump should shudder the IRS, fire all the employees, and start again.

We had dinner with an old friend, last night, who now lives in Florida. He said his wife’s family ,which consists of many sisters, are all taking firearms courses and buying lots of guns. He and his wife plan to do the same.

Long past time for a tax revolt.

I think they are smart enough not to play their hand until after the election.

A tax revolt starts at the ballot box. And I don’t think that is going to be a driving issue in this election.

“hould the new rule look anything like what has been proposed previously, with one stroke of the pen the IRS would be able to reclassify heretofore clearly protected political speech as prohibited “electioneering.” A communication doing nothing more than mentioning the name of or position sought by a candidate – or simply showing their picture — before a primary or general election, would be sufficient to bring the power of the IRS down on that offending organization. Also at stake is the donor privacy of those organizations. “


Conservative groups need to have their lawyers prepare the paperwork for a gigantic class-action suit, to be filed the next morning - with a TRO as the minimum ask until after the election is over. Such a move by the IRS would be a transparent attempt to influence the election, to change the rules in the middle of the game.

I’d also like to see dozens or more of these groups tell the IRS to stick this regulation where the sun don’t shine, and just keep doing what they’re doing. You cannot outlaw free speech via a regular law, let alone a regulation.

The real “October surprise” will be those “lost e-mails” being released.

As JFK said about the CIA, it needs to be broken into a million pieces.

What a poorly written article. Can’t the author simply describe what the change is?

...and they have SWAT teams now.

SWAT teams won't do them any good when we surround their buildings and dare them to come out.

I hate these people more than the devil.

Sure, like that has worked for over a hundred years.

The church has been successfully squelched for so long

Not at all. If the church has a leftist bent, they can invite leftists to preach their politics from the pulpit all day long. It's only when a church or synagogue dares to present conservative politics does the media go ape!

If we lived in a republic, every rule, regulation would have to be approved by congress and the president.

I thought a judge already leaked sealed Trump tax returns to the Washington Post.

Exactly, I was stuck listening yesterday morning to NPR discussing Trump’s lack of releasing his tax returns and he has been under audit...I guess for years!!!

The NPR guest was trying to explain that Trump releasing his tax returns would prove troublesome to most Americans as they do not understand the tax codes for business entities. And for Trump to release them he would then need a tax team to explain them to the average joe.

The whole time I am listening to this interview I am thinking...if that is the case ...then the tax code is way too complicated. Follow that up with ...let’s see an audit of the Clintons, but then they (IRS) would cover-up and wrong doings for them.

Doing the same thing over and over again is the definition of insanity too.
