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.
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.
