The entire demonrat party is one big criminal cartel that cannot be trusted with anything ever.
The IRS is a collection agency for the FED, almost all 1030 “taxes” go to pay FED shareholders. The IRS is incorporated in Puerto Rico, of all places.
Since some IRS employees know about this fraud, a small amount of 1040 “taxes” is reserved for paying them off and buying their silence.
The folks in the administrative state want to wet their beaks. They don’t have to worry about consequences because nearly all of them are Democrats.
Most people right on this forum watched slack-jawed as the government distributed ‘free’ money to their favored peeps. Like watching a bank robbery in real time.
COVID, global warming, they’re both government scams to get money.

IRS has spent $10 million on ‘weaponry and gear’ since start of coronavirus pandemic, report says.
//////////////////////////
Official IRS record of many revisions. Here is one:
(16) Subsection 9.11.3.10.4(2) replaced .40 caliber with 9mm. Replaced 224 with 5MOS. Replaced 23 with 19MOS. Updated 27 to 26. Removed last sentence of the paragraph and added “Special agents will be issued one of these pistols on a permanent basis and will retain their assigned pistol during their entire career unless the weapon is recalled for repair or replacement. In addition, the Smith and Wesson AR-15 carbine and the Beretta 1301 shotgun are the standard-issue long-guns to trained members of the IRS-CI long-gun cadre. Members of the long-gun will be issued one or both of these firearms long-guns on a permanent basis depending on weapon availability.”

Trivial by comparison but Covid test kits. Can’t count the dozens, perhaps hundreds, just my friends and family have received “free”.
But, were actually paid for by Medicare or other insurance or governmental agencies. Massive ripoff of taxpayer dollars.
2 billion?
Peanuts.
How can an IRS employee be guilty of theft when that’s what his agency exists to do?
The money has to spent rapidly on an emergency expedite basis and it goes into third world corruptocracys with no traceability or accountability. Due to the disaster damage or war there is simply no accounting and no formal records keeping.
This is a license to steal for all the well connected beltway bandits and they do so on a massive scale. Literally 80% at minimum is skimmed off the top and much of it gets kicked back into the pockets of Congressional family members, donors and government officials
I was hoping that this funding could be used to bolster Ukraine in order to obtain leverage for negotiated solution but it looks like we are back to the races with everyone talking about now that the funding is in place, Ukraine is in for win on this conflict. They are going to push Russia out of Ukraine and retake Crimea.
Good luck with that.
Looks like another couple hundred thousand Ukrainians and Russians are going to have sacrifice their lives and even more of Ukraine is going to have to be destroyed in this evil proxy war.
And make no mistake, this is an evil proxy driven by America. We have Sen Warner crowing about how much of Russia's military we have destroyed for a mere 3% of our defense budget.
Such a deal!
I'm sure the families of the 500K people killed and countless others horribly wounded and the TENS of millions of Ukrainian civilians who have lost everything and fled the country really appreciate the bargain they have been given
Russia has not been a military threat to the West for going on 35 years.
And, in reality, Russia is much more serious threat to the US now we have declared defacto war on it. Before were were strategic competitor - now we are the enemy p>
It cannot be easy to cash a stolen check made out to US treasury or internal revenue service! And nobody mails in cash. So how indeed do they manage to steal?
special COVID-19 Fraud Enforcement Task Force (CFETF) to crack down on scams
yeah ok
How do 40 year “public servants” become millionaires for $200 Alex
I was getting 2 calls a week to take Covid Cash.
I didn’t need it and it was pretty clear it was a Gov run scam.
Democrats in DC have a lot to lose if Trump’s elected... being dumped off their corrupt gravy train is only the beginning...
