And republicans have been gutting that division ever since like they did the EPA and OSHA.
That’s a really long winded way of saying “massive fraud occurred within the Trump administration”. >

IRS was in Trump's pocket.. >

no wonder he was always going on about the Deep State. he is the Deep State. >

Every accusation is an admission.
People need to pay close attention to every wierd accusation the right wing make. It's the best clue as to their plots and plans. >

They sure do talk about pedophiles a lot. >

Funny you should mention that...
Here is the first of 31 pages, covering !800! separate, fully documented incidents of republican sexual abuse against those that are not of age to or otherwise cannot consent. 
Quoting the Author,      

You won’t find David Vitter, Larry Craig, or even Ted Haggard. Sexual hypocrisy, cheating on spouses, and being gay are not the sort of thing I care about. Consent and being of age to consent is the issue. >

Wow that’s incredible, but both sides are the same right? I’m sure there’s a giant list of all the democrat pedophiles right? >


I’m sure there’s a giant list of all the democrat pedophiles right?

Please, feel free to list and post all of them so we can make certain to put them ALL in jail! (Unlike the republicans). >

I’m searching all over and I’m just not finding anything, the conservatives must be keeping it on their super secret internet I’m not invited to. >

Did you try searching for hunters dick pix?   
They seem to have a fixation on those. >

I have 3 of his lost laptops right here, and there is nothing on it BUT his dick pic! >


a mandatory presidential audit program  

Wait? What? 
They DIDN'T apply the same "mandatory presidential audit" to trump?  
Exactly fucking why didn't they? 
It would have saved the entire nation a great deal of bullshit if only they JUST FOLLOWED THE SAME RULES for the count of mostly crisco that they did for EVERY OTHER PRESIDENT. >


count of mostly crisco

That's a new one on me. It's good! >

The IRS was too busy doing extensive audits of people he deemed not loyal enough. >

Commissioner Rettig was a Trump appointee. Nuff said. >

Make this guy famous. SAY HIS NAME ….charles rettig. >

Even sounds like a Nazi.
Obersturmbannführer Rettig. >

And let it be known the Trump influence is still there and will take a while before it’s all purged. The tentacles of fascism are running deep in our fed government. >

Packed our lower courts too. It's fucked. >

Also the supreme court. 
Democracy is dead >

Biden won, dems won in the midterms, marriage equality is now federally protected, student loan forgiveness happened (albeit too little and is on the verge of being axed), federally legal marijuana is the closest its ever been (Republicans are fighting it hard), insurrectionists are still being rounded up as a few examples of the peoples will being enacted. Democracy is not dead, its going to be a rough road for a while thanks to fascists and greedy politicians though. I would say wait until 2024 election, Trumps potential trial and the end of 2025 before assessing if "democracy is dead" >

We had a choice between two elderly neoliberals, and one of them won. The lesser of two evils, sure, but as someone left of center, I don't feel represented having to choose between a center-right and a far-right candidate. 
Things like marriage equality and marijuana legalization (which I am skeptical will actually happen) shouldn't even be contentious and I am not satisfied that only the bare minimum of progress is happening.  Let's see some actually effective climate change action, reformation of our healthcare system, public transportation initiatives, any sort of action effectively addressing stagnant wages, lack of affordable housing, anything to reverse the obscene wealth inequality and protect workers rights (railroad workers can't even get  sick days for goodness sake). >

Fully agree, its enraging that progress is being slowed so much by knuckle draggers and greedy evil shit heads, we could be living in practically paradise but no, infighting and old as fuck outdated ideas it is >

I have no concerns about corruption, I know there was corruption. It’s completely unacceptable. >

The commissioner is a Trump appointee. How much turnover was there in the white house during that term? If the guy wanted to keep his job he can’t make Trump look bad. >

Which is why there was an IRS internal rule in place >

Not a very good rule if you can ignore it and keep your job. >

It not a rule at all then, just lip service >

But, but, but Trump said repeatedly that he was under CONSTANT audits.
Yet another Trump lie. >

I think the only time he ever told the truth was when he said he could shoot someone on 5th avenue and his ratings wouldn’t go down at all >

Also all of the times he's implied he wants to fuck Ivanka >

The odds of him having actually fucked Ivanka are so much higher than they should ever be. >

"She's your daughter, not your date."
Trump: "Why not both?" >

This is all very fucking simple. Every single person in the chain of command of the decision to not audit Trump as legally required by the IRS should explain themselves and if they don’t have proof that they were raising hell to their superior, they should go to federal prison…for many years. 
Then this will stop happening. >

Honestly, they should lose the ability to financially own anything in USD. Fuck with the institution of cash at the highest level, lose its access and back to bartering. That or 30 years of prison >

Easy... Trump told them not to because he is shady as fuck.  Obama and Biden went with normal protocol. >

This is almost certainly the answer. It was unofficially optional to every president but only one took the option. >

It's simple, GQP political appointees protected trump and enabled his criminal enterprise. They should be arrested and charged appropriately. >

Absolutely. We have a lot of work to do to restore America. >

The head of the IRS Chuck Rettig owned a 50 percent stake in a Trump hotel in Hawaii. His boss treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin was involved in a shitload of shady actions to further Trump's hold on power including postal service shenanigans. >

And it paid off for Steven - he collected a billion from the Saudis as soon as Trump was out. >

I just don’t understand why time after time after time it is shown that Trump has been treated with kids gloves at every opportunity. Why him? What exactly is the reason for it? It’s just bizarre. >

Corruption is the reason. Simple as that. >

But even before he was president / running for political office? It's like he's had easy mode cheats on his entire life. >

Yes. And he's not necessarily the only one. The US justice system and political landscape massively favours the rich and unscrupulous. Trump has been getting away with not paying contractors and ignoring regulations for decades because he has connections, lawyers and money. >

When, at long last, will the American people see Trump for the bozo narcissist he is? >

When Back to the Future 2 comes out. I mean, when Gremlins 2 comes out. I mean, when Super Mario Bros comes out. 
The original Super Mario Bros… I’ve hated Donald Trump since middle school movie day. >

Hold on! I know Biff Tannen was modeled after Trump. But so was the old Bowser?!? Makes sense, but how have I never noticed that before! >

To me it seems like it was common knowledge he was a con man and a fraud since at least the 80's, so watching from outside the US this has been even more surreal. >

The people that vote for him say everyone is a con man and a fraud. >

It’s always projection with Republicans. >

Ok.  We need a deep dive on this.  Id also like to see a dataset of all the audits of all presidents.  Publicly.  We need to be clear just how criminal this dereliction of duty is by trumps irs.  
And the agents in trumps sole audit?  Or agent?  I dont recall if he got his request for more help.  Was up against a large team, arguing everything.  And you can bet this was insane. >

Agreed, although I think it’s pretty obvious where the directive came from. All of the news reports are blaming “the IRS” for not auditing him, which is technically true but probably not realistically who made the decision. There’s not like a “Board of Examiners” or anything, the IRS is a huge government agency with way too many departments doing redundant work. The employees of the IRS, and likely even most executives, aren’t the ones making the decisions on whether or not they’re allowed to do something. 
All eyes should be focused on who was the boss of the Commissioner of the IRS at that time. Wouldn’t be the first directive that he pushed that was directly beneficial to his friends. >

But let them think a citizen making $60k a year owes them $400. They will spend $3k trying to get it. 
They asked Trump if they could audit him and he said fuck off, and they did. There is no way in hell that they thought a "billionaire" claiming not only did he not owe any taxes, but the government owed him $10 million wasn't shady as fuck. If he lost so much money with all the various business ventures he was involved in, he was either a very shitty businessman or a tax cheat. Or both.
Watch him say that he turned over all his business ventures to his greedy ass, incompetent kids, during his presidency and make them take the fall. Definitely with the Trump Organization, dumb and dumber are going down. >

This happened to me. Got audited and they went back the standard three years. Months of hoop jumping. In the end I had to pay the IRS $20. >

I got two letters from the IRS in the mail once. The first was to inform me I was being audited and the second to tell me they owed me money. >

For all the shit they take, they're pretty efficient. Not the first story I've heard of an audit ending quickly with the person being audited getting money. >

this is how a mob boss operates, and half this country would vote for him again. >

More like 25-30 percent but yeah >

And another 30% says "voting is dumb, I'm staying home." >

"The guy I talked to online said that voting doesn't matter because of {insert quasi-racist bullshit} so that means I don't have to get off my ass and vote anyways." >

Guessing Trump's Secretary of the Treasury Mnuchin did away with the normal procedure as well. >

He lasted a lot longer than a whole hell of a lot of them. >

He was also rewarded with Saudi money. >

Typically used for investigations and raids of dangerous criminals like Mobsters. >

BUT THEY'RE HIRING ARMED AGENTS TO COME AFTER YOU FOR A $600 VENMO TRANSACTION!!! /s >

Maybe Janet Yellen should go open a can of whupass over at the IRS. 
Doesn't the IRS answer to the Secretary of the Treasury? >

Yes. That rubbery lipped slimeball Mnuchin was there to  run interference and line pockets.  He did his job well. >

Australian intelligence flagged Trump and his businesses as being connected to the mob 30 years ago. He should never ever have been eligible for public office in any capacity. >

Wait. So his returns weren’t under audit? You’re saying Trump lied to me? >

We're not upset that Trump lied. We're upset about the gross dereliction of duty by a critical American agency. >

But somehow Comey and McCabe were randomly selected for audit while Trump was feuding with them. >

Within a few months of being fired. >

And after Trump tweeted they should be audited.
Now, they claim the two show up every time they run the "random" software to pick people to audit. I have some advice for them - someone edited the software to make those two show up, as cover. >

This is a result of why he was vehemently unfunding programs and not hiring secretaries and cabinet members. Just gumming up the gears long enough the steal as much money as he could before he could declare dictatorship. >

Potential? ROFL >

He's been playing the IRS for decades by making his returns needlessly complex. I think IRS has no choice now but to do a complete audit on 2020, 2015, 2010 and so on back to the fucking 1980s. >

They're only allowed to audit seven years back. Once audited they're done, safe, unless criminal fraud is proven. (Like what New York is doing in court now) Ironically those rules were shored up after the Republicans abused the IRS back in the 1990s to go after Bill Clinton... it wasn't legal then but you know Republicans got to pull up the ladder behind them when they get the rules broken in their favor. >

IRS are not fair, the director and everyone else in charge need to go. The IRSneeds to be Audited. >

So why the fuck are WE paying taxes? >

Every day, we find out of a new lie or crime. Godamn Republicans fucked America over hard with this one. >

Well yeah, that was the intended purpose of the political appointees he hired for the IRS. Their job was to audit everyone else but him. >

Well just like the deleted texts in the Secret Service, DHS, and willing fake electors, show that there was/are loyalist in the government. There are probably IRS agents that are profacist and did not want to audit him. >

But the Hillillarrry Clinntonnn Deepest State!! >

The group that doesn't make real effort to tax billionaires might be corrupt? No way >

Stormy Daniels audited Trump’s wang deeper than any government agency audited his finances. Let that sink in. >

Both were small audits. >

Flaccid IRS >

All I want for Christmas is Donald Trump in shackles. 🎁 >

Funny, once again silence from the Trump Groupies (GOP) - selective complaints only! >

Over on the conservative subs they say this proves the IRS is corrupt and should be defunded. Nothing matters to conservatives. They do not act or argue in good faith. >

Bribery is my top guess. Blackmail is my second guess good ol cronism is my third guess. >

And possibly treason. There's a good reason America audits our president. It's in our own self-interest, regardless of party. >

Jail these corrupt traitors trumps little hench men >

Don’t tell me the IRS is in on this trickle down economics scam >

Guys they aren't gonna stop grifting and cheating and fucking us over. We gotta fight back eventually >

I seem to recall him specifically claiming in 2016-2019 that he was under audit and that’s why he couldn’t release his tax returns.
I know “Trump lied” is like saying “sky is blue” but it’s sometimes amazing how blatant it is. >

I wasn't 100% sure I was happy that Trumps tax returns were to be made public. I am now.
When the institutions that are supposed to treat everyone the same get "gerrymandered" then all bets are off. >

Raises concerns?
He’s a fucking fraud >

Easy peasy. Commissioner Charles Rettig is a Trump appointee. 
No mystery there. How many people were appointed and then bagged when they pissed off that President again? >

Rettig was appointed in 2018. This refers to the first 2 years, during the term of the last 2 commissioners. >

Wasn’t there two people that Trump didn’t like and they ended up getting some rare deep dive audit, this was while he was still in office I believe anyways. >

Yes, James Comey and Andrew McCabe >

Potential? It’s blatant. >

When you run the government like the mob this happens. >

Scientology neutered the irs like 20 years ago lol. The fact that they are largely toothless and play political games is old news. >

Somebody at the IRS should be sitting on a hot seat right now >

Yet they’ll fuck the rest of us in the ass over pennies >

The IRS is completely overwhelmed. I have tried calling in to ask a question for a few weeks now and they won't even let people wait on hold due to the volume of daily calls. COMPLETELY OVERWHELMED >

Trump directed the IRS to audit his political adversaries so it is not a stretch to believe his staff directed IRS to not audit his own taxes >

This is the most insane element of the entire story. Special treatment for the man in the highest office. What the actual fuck? D or R this is in no way appropriate. Call your congressman and senator and tell them this is horseshit. >

It's interesting that the state of our politics today allows us to look at something that 100% happened and the response to it is to think about possibly maybe looking into concerns about it potentially having happened. 
1 + 1 = 2
Let's form a committee to discuss the potential of forming another committee to discuss whether or not 1 + 1 potentially could have equalled 2.
America is dead. >

Trump is the Deep State all over. Convincing his idiotic low IQ cult followers that he was the opposite of the Deep State is perhaps the biggest lie out of all of his many lies. >

Straight to jail for being a traitor to the country >

Trump: The whole system is corrupt, it's rigged.
Obama: No it's not, it's fair to everyone
Clinton: Yup it's fair
Mod: Mr Trump, if the system is rigged, how do you know?
Trump: Because I use it 
Dynamite explodes .......... >

Trump made sure to oust and replace Obama IRS head ASAP. Biden let Trumps guy stick around until just a few weeks ago. >

Potential politicization? Isn't it incredibly obvious that they actively didn't do these audits literally until Neal asked to see them in 2019, which means they had no intent of ever doing it to begin with >

Democrats. This is the narrative. This is what republicans would scream from rooftops about if the roles were reversed. This is blatant, simple to explain corruption. 
All democrats should be screaming abort this RIGHT NOW. >

This makes that Comey audit all the more interesting...
IRS inspector general says intensive audits of former FBI Director Comey and deputy were random

"Maybe it's a coincidence or maybe somebody misused the IRS to get at a political enemy," Comey said in a statement in July. >

Trump installed his friends in a lot of government positions. Follow the heirarchy of command at the IRS and there is a Trump loyalist somewhere. >

The IRS is not set up to audit wealthy criminals.
It is a tax collection agency- not law enforcement. 
That should change. >

...almost a hundred years ago
