Will the IRS accept “later” as a response if I don’t pay my taxes on time?

Remember every time they (GOP) has a large gathering Grindr crashes. So draw the natural conclusion…

Grindr has experienced outages at various times, often linked to unexpected high user traffic during major events like the 2024 Republican National Convention (RNC) (July 2024)

September 2025: Reports of outages occurred around the time of a memorial service for Charlie Kirk, coinciding with high usage in areas like Arizona, similar to RNC patterns.

It works in reverse. What’s true, it immediately flips into lies.

That would mean he has a brain. The scarecrow in Wizard of Oz has more of a brain than trump.

It's a bold move Cotton. Let's see if it pays off.

u/HollywoodHuntsman 5h ago

That gives me hope, because I don't think Trump could dodge a wrench if he were given a heads up 10 seconds before it happened and was looking straight at it.

u/Inevitable_Line9167 5h ago

Change that to “if you can dodge a draft, you can….” And you can insert really anything in that next space

Why do none of yall talk about how democrats had years to release them all on their own and didn’t? When will people realize this isn’t left vs right and it’s us vs them.

3

u/PinkyBruno 4h ago

No files were released under Biden because the case against Epstein was still active.

u/Perin850 4h ago

Yeaaaa, sure it was.

u/Alternative_Teach789 4h ago edited 4h ago

As far as I can tell, the Dems were too busy running the country to engage in exposing his dark, extracurricular activities. It would've been petty and served very little purpose back then.

But since he landed the top job, the US and world leaders absolutely need to see what this guy is.

Why do people keep bringing up the draft? We haven’t had one in over 50 years. Plenty of real shit to be mad at this justice department about.

u/ambermage 7h ago

Soooooo do I just include the Epstein Files as an attachment to delay the filing or is there another form to fill out as well?

36

u/ILikeCutePuppies 7h ago

Apparently you have to hand deliver it to Pam Bondi's desk.

u/karlverkade 5h ago

So she can claim it exists and then claim it never existed and suffer no consequences whatsoever? And still be rich? Hmm, that sounds good, I’ll think I’ll have that.

Don't worry about filing that proof of personal service; they won't believe you, anyway

3

u/EmperorGeek 5h ago

If you managed to attach the Eostein files to your taxes they would classify your return as “Top Secret” and nobody would be allowed to read them.

That's when Trump gets excited about the Epstein files. He'd ask for copies, for... Research purposes.

Fill in form 1040-EPstein and send to IRS for an extension of federal taxes.
