But you also approve of Trump enriching himself off the US presidency. Seems hypocritical of you.
But you also approve of Trump enriching himself off the US presidency. Seems hypocritical of you.That lady Samantha Power who heads USAID has experienced a tremendous increase in wealth. How did it happen? Did she just make some amazing investments? Or did she use her position to enrich herself?

Okay... we have a name.That lady Samantha Power who heads USAID has experienced a tremendous increase in wealth. How did it happen? Did she just make some amazing investments? Or did she use her position to enrich herself?
The IRS audits everyone -- now it's the turn of IRS to be audited.
They too have to pass scrutiny, like everyone else.
What on earth are they being audited for?
You have never been audited, i was but once in my entire life.
So i ask, specifically, what the **** are you talking about?
That seems to me to be a criminal investigation.This isn't a mere tax audit to see if they paid their taxes.
This is an examination to see which heads of govt agencies have acquired unusual wealth, possibly due to improper use of their govt position.
He starts publishing tax returns online....and then seizes your tax return, because it is 'wasteful spending'Give me your scenario where Elon Musk abuses this access. I'm waiting, I'm listening.
I told you he was going to try to seize EITC and child tax credit returns.Turns out, DOGE isn't really auditing the IRS...he's going to end up auditing YOU, the taxpayer.
Musk Team Seeks Access to I.R.S. System With Taxpayers’ Records
A White House spokesman said that the initiative called the Department of Government Efficiency needed to review data to fix waste within the agency.www.nytimes.com
I sooo want to say MAGA-tards defend or otherwise explain the bold part away.
We have inspectors general to audit agency waste, fraud, and abuse. Congress can request additional oversight, which shouldn't be a problem given the House and Senate are under Republican control and would imagine it wouldn't be too hard to peel away some less partisan Dems to support this as well.
What they're proposing is taking the most sensitive data we have that we are compelled to send to the government and giving it to some third party that doesn't have legitimate statutory or regulatory basis for accessing that data.
I never want to hear conservative ****-knuckles complain about the intrusiveness of the federal government ever again. "Conservatives" can take all their Alex Jones paranoia and shove it up their asses.
what do heads of agencies have to do with fishing through private tax returns? Private citizens aren't heads of agencies.There needs to be a look at why certain heads of govt agencies have gotten so wealthy.
Maybe they just happened to make some excellent personal investment and financial decisions.
Or maybe they used their govt position to enrich themselves.
You are telling a fib dudeThat lady Samantha Power who heads USAID has experienced a tremendous increase in wealth. How did it happen? Did she just make some amazing investments? Or did she use her position to enrich herself?
again...why do they need access to YOUR tax return to determine that?This isn't a mere tax audit to see if they paid their taxes.

That's not called an audit. That's called an investigation. If you want to investigate her there's a word for it. You guys are super familiar with it. Lawfare.This isn't a mere tax audit to see if they paid their taxes.

You're hairsplitting over terminology, because you don't like the idea of uncovering corruption when it involves your side. You don't want to see such corruption exposed and dismantled.That's not called an audit. That's called an investigation. If you want to investigate her there's a word for it.

I'd be fine with it if they chose to follow our laws and constitution. You've heard of it, no? You're the one splitting hairs and encouraging the president and his billionaire oligarch to break the law.You're hairsplitting over terminology, because you don't like the idea of uncovering corruption when it involves your side.

The one person you named as being corrupt was quickly shown that the claims against her are false.You're hairsplitting over terminology, because you don't like the idea of uncovering corruption when it involves your side. You don't want to see such corruption exposed and dismantled.

You are chasing phantoms.
Question. How did 5 kids under 24 conduct audits on 10 giant departments already?
Seems to me, all they have had time to do is grab info.
And you never spoke to any specifics of what they have found. You can't because they haven't. Why haven't they? Because they are not really looking.
Why are they more likely to misuse the information than the people within that dept?As i said, their real mission right now is to steal information that will be used to compel others to join the cult or suffer consequences .
And just and FYI, no media told me this. It pretty obvious if one pays attention and is not into the Cult of MAGA.
You mean like calling someone an agent of the Kremlin without any proof?The one person you named as being corrupt was quickly shown that the claims against her are false.

What the what now?You mean like calling someone an agent of the Kremlin without any proof?
There is a system already in place. The Inspectors General.Govt agencies should be audited. That's entirely reasonable.
