Send him to The Vad and let Ivan exact his revenge using a Red Star - Soros’ is under an international arrest warrent in Russia - I wonder if the Russian’s would try him for crimes dating back to WWII? If so, the wealth would be returned to National Treasuries and his operations shut down - people would die by the dozens or disapear who worked in those foundations and mini-clubs.

I like what one guy was saying, that Trump always thinks 100 chess moves ahead of his enemies and here is another example.

If Trump wins how do you think the Left will react to it?

What we have seen from them for the past few years is just a warm up to the bigger acts that are to come.

"Good Chess move - blocks Soros using the foundations and NGOs from fighting Trump's policies."

Boy this is going to get in the weeds and I will need a Fr-er CPA for some help on this. From what I have seen, some of these left leaning "orgs" have a 501(c)(3) component and a 501(c)(4) component. How they reconcile having these two camps under one roof is beyond me, but let that go.

So is this to prevent an internal swap of funds or an external donation to another "like" organization? I am thinking the latter.

Tangent to this is something I have said here before. The whole tax free bla-bla-bla rules and regs and whether they can talk politics or not is getting sooooo old, I want to end the whole 501(c)(3) thing, frankly I am sick of it and take the 501(c)(4)'s out with the trash that is in the tax code while you at it.

The man is brilliant.

Yes he is. Outwitting his political enemies at every turn.

I love it.

It’s a good point. There are so many 501C3 organizations, that a substantial amount of the economy pays no taxes.

I can’t explain the 501C4 vs C3 - it’s always seemed to be a conflict to me. I will say that when it was illegal for a bank to own another bank, the legal/accounting community came up with a corporation called a holding company. The holding company then acquired a number of banks that they called affiliates. Obviously to get around the law, but it was determined to be legal.

It’s like Clinton and the meaning of is. If I understand it, Soros groups will not be able to fund the legal challenges and throw a lot of sand in the works. It will have to be individuals or regular corporations.

I guess you could say it throws sand in the gears. I thought the article explained it pretty well.

Huh??? This action is not mutually exclusive to eliminating the Johnson amendment. That’s in the works-I think I read about that recently IIRC. It is important to understand that we are facing war on all fronts, and Soros and other enemies are going to use everything they can.

This shows that Trump and his advisors are pretty darn smart, as no one else apparently ever figured this out before. It’s just one of many actions.

Yep. This is a well planned attack on many fronts to deal with the enemies of America.

I think that many areas in USA have become a modern day Babylon or Sodom and Gomorrah. If repentance is not forthcoming, the dens of iniquity will fall/burn.
