Title: The Weaponization of FedGov
Post by: nddons on March 28, 2023, 09:25:37 AM
Someone needs to go to fucking prison over this. The IRS never makes house calls unless it’s a criminal tax evasion matter.

“The same day journalist Matt Taibbi was voluntarily testifying before Congress in Washington, D.C., an IRS agent showed up unannounced at his New Jersey home, he said.”

Welcome to Biden's America.

Elections have consequences, stolen elections have dire consequences.

It was a blatant message.  Testify about weaponizing the feds and we will openly weaponize the feds against you.  What are you gonna do about it? 

And the Republicans will do nothing.

I think the hope is that soon Republicans will clamor for the feds taking over elections to stop the cheating.

I’d love for them to pass a federal law mandating Election Day in person voting ID required, paper ballots.  One of the very rare things I’d like to see done at the centralized level but it would be unconstitutional.

Not at all. The Democrats dream is for the feds to control elections.  How better to accomplish it than cheating on these elections to the point that Republicans call for it.

Yep, if they controlled it they wouldn’t do the things I said in the last post.  Or if they did it would be changed and corrupted soon enough.  Just like the Patriot Act was turned around on us in less than 20 years.

Our constitution already covers how elections are held.  We do not want to give this to federal control.

No way.

Exactly. If there is one thing the government can do well, is to fuck something up after they get involved.

Sadly, just about the only way for the democrats to notice election fraud would be if somehow republicans were caught cheating.

They (dims) have constantly alleged Republican vote fraud, never with any evidence.   Republicans have evidence of dim vote fraud, mountains of it.

The Establishment Republicans are totally on board with it. All of these politicians need to face a guillotine.

Someone suggested this video to me of a recent interview with Matt Taibbi - about 15 minutes long but still watchable at 2x speed. Has some interesting historical perspective of what happened to the old guard journalists when Trump arrived on the scene.
