Here comes the October Surprise!
American Thinker ^ | 3 Oct, 2022 | Ralph Alter

Posted on 10/03/2022 6:09:54 AM PDT by MtnClimber

The tactic described as the October Surprise holds the juiciest fruits of opposition research until late in the election cycle. The key is to save the reveal until it’s too late to elicit an effective response. With the modern plethora of media outlets ready, willing, and able to leak campaign secrets or propaganda, the problem has been to keep the scoop under wraps long enough to limit the target’s response. With the pitiful slate of Democrat candidates and the party’s failed policies wreaking havoc on our nation and the economy, it seems the Dems have been emptying their bag of tricks prematurely.

You still know it’s coming soon. Even though those wacky Dems have already launched their September Surprise. And their August surprise. And their June and July surprises. They would have a daily surprise if they could keep their weak sisters in the media up to speed.

They need something like the leak of the Supreme Court reversal of the Roe decision to yield a sufficient “Surprise.” They’ve already pedaled their Student Loan Forgiveness surprise. bomb. If Merrick Garland could have held his horses a bit longer, the FBI’s raid on Donald Trump’s home at Mar-a-Lago could have been the perfect October surprise. Launched prematurely, the raid has been exposed and turned into a liability for the Dems.

Maybe it’s a bit nostalgic to call these mostly fictional bombshells surprises any more. The biggest surprise would be for the Democrats to run honest campaigns and lighten up on the slander and libel.

Don't count on it.

The only thing in politics and society that approaches the cruelty and duplicity of Democrat/Communist Party leaders is the fear and cowardice of Republican Party leaders.

SeeBS should have to identify as a democrat owned political marketing company. Day in day out they are pro democRAT, anti republican.
What happened to equity when promoting political candidates. They once had to offer equal airtime for the opposing party to rebuke accusations.
Now it’s just RAT all day every day.

Credit Suisse isn’t that big but Deutsche Bank is a whale. That would cause a lot of turmoil in the financial markets.

Maybe Joe Biden will get pregnant, and everyone will be trying to guess who the father is.

What - do you think he's got eyes in the back of his head?

The Republicans are only there for The Grift.

The Democrats are there for both The Grift AND The Power.

I heard something about BoE, and the Chinese have real estate and banking issues.
I don’t have a very good feeling...

Or they just make something up and throw it out there at the last minute. Which does tend to identify the stoopids that believe the lame stream media.

Have you seen an actual firm number or percentage, or the stories about what experts are speculating? I have not seen a firm number yet.

My fear is a false-flag “terrorist attack” that they blame on Russia and attempt a posy 9/11 type of patriotic rally around the flag (support America and never mind those pesky economic meltdown issues).

“Will they indict Trump?”

I fear that’s coming, for his legal possession of those documents.

So far I think it's speculation, but the number I saw last week was $164.90 per month, down from $170.10.

It also stated that the reimbursement rates for some procedures was going to be lowered. That will probably cause more physicians to stop taking patients on Medicare.

"Will they indict Trump?"

Indict him? They may just arrest him outright and require a wacky bail amount (a gazzillion dollars?) and keep him behind bars like the Jan 6th people.

Who's to stop them?

Maybe the October surprise will be Xiden resigning and Heels Up taking the sock puppet position.

From what I hear she is not as controllable as PedoHitler so maybe they will find someone else to be their sock puppet. Piggylosi wouldn’t do it. She would want to run everything herself. Schiff is a total POS liar so he does qualify. Buttgigs would fit their version of what a freak pResident should be like.

Oh wait! Loser Cheney would be perfect! Sadly she’s still a registered republican but we can expect that to change any minute now. So many really pathetic people for the dems to choose from...

I’d post a link, but I’m too slow.

CMS has announced a $5.20 decrease in Medicare part B premiums in 2023. They are going from $170.10 down to $164.90.

Google it😀
