Another Republican Lie Is Born

[Skylar]

I'm sorry, if you haven't followed the issue, you have been mislead.

Explain Epps phone call to FBI.

I have followed the issue. Ray Epps called for folks to enter the capitol on the night of January 5th.

On January 6th, he spoke to a young man named Ryan Samsel moments before Samsel rushed and attacked police officers, his girlfriend beside him and cheering him on.

When Ryan Samsel was asked what Epps said to him,

"He came up to me and he said, ‘Dude’ — his entire words were, ‘Relax, the cops are doing their job,’” Mr Samsel told investigators."

When Ray Epps was asked what he told Ryan Samsel, Ray Epps said the same thing: he told Ryan Samsel that the cops were just doing their jobs.

That's it.

From this, an elaborate, fantastical and utterly fact free conspiracy that Ray Epps caused the riot at the direction of the FBI was pulled sideways out of some conspiracy theorists ass.

Another Republican lie is born

Let’s consider the lie, endlessly repeated by Republicans and the Fox News-led echo chamber, that new legislation enacted by Democrats funds the hiring of “87,000 armed IRS agents.” Like the “death panel” fabrication during the Obamacare debate, this is a whole-cloth invention designed to stoke paranoia.

Sen. Rick Scott (Fla.), head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, sent an open letter last week warning Americans not to work for the IRS. He falsely claimed that the Democrats’ climate, energy and tax bill would add “roughly 87,000 agents” at the IRS, creating “an IRS super-police force”:

“The IRS made it very clear that one of the ‘major duties’ of these new positions is to ‘be willing to use deadly force.’ … The IRS is making it very clear that you not only need to be ready to audit and investigate your fellow hardworking Americans, your neighbors and friends, you need to be ready and, to use the IRS’s words, willing, to kill them.”

The IRS certainly isn’t adding 87,000 armed agents. It isn’t even adding 87,000 agents. In fact, it’s not even adding 87,000 employees.

When you figure in attrition (current funding doesn’t let the IRS fill all vacancies), Treasury officials tell me, the expected increase in personnel would be more like 40,000, over the course of a decade — which would merely restore IRS staffing to around the 117,000 it had in 1990.

Only about 6,500 of the new hires would be “agents.” The rest would be customer-service representatives, data specialists and the like.

And fewer than 1 percent of the new hires would be armed.


One of the great mysteries of modern times is why the tard herd keeps going back to the same propagandists over and over and over to be lied to.

They BEG to be lied to, and so they DESERVE to be lied to.

Ok, perhaps the IRS isn’t going to have 87,000 armed Gestapo agents.

So why are they buying so much ammo and guns?

Why did the IRS buy 5,000,000 rounds of ammo? - New York State Firearms Association

This is the type of government that our Founding Fathers warned us about -- this is the type of government that exists in almost every other country on earth.

www.newyorkstatefirearmsassociation.org

Why did the IRS buy 5,000,000 rounds of ammo?​

3,151,500 rounds of pistol ammo.
Over 350,000 rounds of shotgun ammo.
Almost 1.5 million rounds of rifle ammo.
In just the last few months, the Internal Revenue Service has bought almost 5,000,000 rounds of small arms ammunition — spending almost $700,000 in the process.
The obvious question is why would a bunch of bean counters who spend their days staring at computer screens need to stock up on millions of rounds of ammo?

Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz, one of the leading Second Amendment fighters in Congress, discussed this in a recent media interview saying:

“This is so bizarre to me, but yeah, just between March and June 1st, they spent about $700,000 purchasing ammunition at the IRS. The IRS should be people in cubicles with green shades and calculators. They shouldn’t be people with guns and ammo.”

Every gun owner in America remembers how impossible it was to find ammo in 2021. And while it’s a little more available these days, it’s sporadic at best, and still very expensive.

And with just one branch of the federal government buying 5 million rounds of ammo over the course of a few months, it seems clear that the government is trying to make it impossible for gun owners like you and me to be able to buy any for ourselves!

***snip^^*

For our own government to try to criminalize the Second Amendment and make it all but impossible for us to buy firearms and ammunition — while they stockpile mass quantities of it — is a very ominous sign!

IRS cases rarely become criminal ones, but don't forget that the IRS does have a criminal investigation division--with guns.

No one has been allowed to investigate Ray Epps yet, as you said, 'dickhead'

Allowed? How has that been stopped?

Your ignorance precedes you. Can you tell me how the right can initiate an investigation against the left when the left controls the gavel?

Wow. What a “lie”.

In the end the IRS is getting funding for tens of thousands of employees to go after our money and punish and harass the Regime’s enemies.

Meanwhile the left lies its ass off about everything. Biden promised he won’t mandate the vaccine lie. Biden promised we wouldn’t get into a war with Russia lie. The media lied about Russia collusion for four years. They lie about just about everything.

Yeah, he must have overlooked the IRS under Obama and Lois Lerner.

Takes five min to audit a little guys taxes, Months to audit the big ones.

Of course you’re right. Yet another example of the unfairness by our government.

Which is exactly why the IRS needs more employees and modernized equipment.

But the Republicans have been paid by the wealthy to kill it.

So the little guy gets fucked by the GOP once again.

Screwing the little guy is very bipartisan. You thinking otherwise merely proves once again you are a partisan dupe.

And anyone at any time thinking we need a larger gubbmint is out of their mind.

There is no such thing as Dems vs GOP, it's the Dems AND the GOP.

When you mature, if you ever do, you’ll realize this fundamental truth.

 

[my2¢]

I'm not buying into whatever either party is saying about the additional funding, but the goal should be to make the income tax less costly to administrate for the government and less cumbersome for taxpayers.

The biggest Republican lie I've heard is that you are one.

Oh wait, you mean lies BY the Republicans, never mind, ...
