Democrats get ready to unleash the IRS for selective enforcement on political opponents

Democrats have an amazing array of third-world dictator tricks targeting their Republican opponents.

Item A is their bid to use the IRS to cut off Republican freedom of assembly.

According to Judicial Watch:

Reminiscent of the Obama Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS) witch hunt of conservative groups, a U.S. Senator who sits on the committee that oversees the tax agency is pushing it to revoke a student charity’s nonprofit status. The veteran lawmaker, Rhode Island Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse, says the conservative student organization, Turning Point USA, should lose its nonprofit rating because it held large events that could help spread COVID-19. In a letter to IRS Commissioner Charles P. Rettig the senator describes the gatherings as “superspreader” events. He specifically mentions a Palm Beach, Florida winter gala at the Mar-a-Lago Club famously owned by former President Donald Trump.

SNIP

Which is a pretty impressive way of shutting conservative groups down. They're so concerned about superspreader events, they want to permanently shut down conservative groups themselves for their events so that conservatives

The fact that Lois Lerner is not in prison tells you all you need to know about the IRS.

It’s. Not. Just. Dems.

The only reason two parties exist is to give voters the illusion of choice.

People with R’s after their name are just as complicit.

They are Deep State.

I got attacked by the IRS in 2013 for a simple donation to Ted Cruz.
An IRS agent in Austin doctored my previous year return.
Their answer: “Sorry it looks like we made a mistake”

Man, do these dirty SOBs know how to do politics and corruption. Meanwhile, the Rs are still scratching their heads and calling DJT and us traitors.

“The only reason two parties exist is to give voters the illusion of choice.”

Can’t be stated often enough. In my opinion, the GOP is MORE RESPONSIBLE for the state of affairs than D’s. The D’s flat out tell you they are out to wreck everything. The GOP wants the same thing but tells you the opposite.

They ought to replace the elephant logo with a logo of a guy watching while six men rape your wife.

Are you trying to get your Capitol raided again? Because that’s how your Capitol gets raided again.

They would rather we “raid” Capitol Hill than sit down in our local electoral precincts and start scrubbing the electoral process seriously clean

$25 in physical cash to anyone who can find one instance of “superspreader” in the IRS code.

You are 100% correct. The ocean of evil is deep in DC and around the world and it’s not just DemonRats that are to blame.

Correct me if I’m wrong but so far all I’m seeing out of this crowd is a bunch of Mickey Mouse antics. They are not in anyway organized. All this supposed power you would expect to see that legislation being cranked out daily. Instead nothing but a stupid show impeachment.

Here’s where I freak out all the non woke freepers. Maybe its because they know their time is very limited.

Exactly. The RINO GOPe exists to provide the illusion of opposition to the Democrats. As long as the GOPe doesn't actually oppose the Dems on any issue the Dems really find important, they can share in the corruption profits.

Trump spoiled that arrangement, that's why the GOPe collaborated with the Dems to be rid of him.
