I suspect irs agents can look at anything they want if they have reason to believe it may lead to tax infractions. Tho I don’t know
So now what for Comer,Jordan and the others?
- Thread starter cosmickid
- Start date
...and that reason is?
IRS agent: "Mr. Superior, I want to look at Joe's taxes."
IRS agent's Superior: "OK, why?"
IRS agent: "I believe that Joe has committed a Tax infraction."
IRS agent's Superior: "OK, why do you believe that."
IRS agent: "Well, because he's dirty. The whole family is dirty. It's obvious."
IRS agent's Superior: "We need more than that. Do you have any indication that Joe has lied about his taxes?"
IRS agent: .....
IRS agent's Superior: "Do you have proof that Joe coordinated with Hunter to commit Tax fraud?"
IRS agent: .......
IRS agent's Superior: "Do you have any basis at all to believe that Joe has committed tax infractions?"
IRS agent: .....
IRS agent's Superior: "Request denied."
IRS agent on Fox News the next day
"I feel so handcuffed by my superiors. They are preventing us from looking at Joe's taxes in an effort to protect him!"
I don't know if this applies, but I had remembered this going through a little bit ago.

Scatter off? That's pretty funny. Unlike you, I have a job and a life. I have no time (or interest) in patrolling and derailing every thread, 24/7, like you do. Regardless of the topic, you usually manage to ultimately make the thread all about you. Your self-obsession is truly something to behold. Frankly, I think most of what you post about yourself is complete bullshit. When can we expect the big reveal about the celebrity spokesperson who's going to promote your gummy business? Lol.
But back to inflation. It's a global problem. Most inflationary factors have little to nothing to do with who the US president is, and our inflation rate is substantially better than much of the rest of the world. So is our economy. Given a broad swath of economic data including key economic indicators like inflation, energy prices, GDP, the unemployment rate, the long-term unemployment rate, the 2023 IMF GDP forecast, and the 2023 IMF unemployment rate forecast, we're doing better than most of the rest of the world including G7 countries.
If you don't want to give Biden any credit that's fine. But it's just stupid and illogical to repeatedly blame him for a bad economy when we don't have a bad economy at all.
But here (below) is more of what's coming under a second Trump term. A strongman regime should be exciting for you and your fellow far-righties.

shocking.
I suspect you have no clue how it went but are willing to give conservative propaganda the benefit of the doubt from your completely non-partisan point of view
you're always trying to get personal. btw it's jim mcmahon with a much larger announcement/partnership forthcoming.Scatter off? That's pretty funny. Unlike you, I have a job and a life.

Biden’s American Rescue Plan worsened inflation. The question is how much.
Was it a minor contributor or a major factor in the US’s inflation woes?
www.vox.com
biden's policies increased inflation here. and remember he wanted to keep going but got blocked. how much worse would he have made it? i'll take trump any day over biden, as would most of america at this point. another four years of biden is far more dangerous than trump. trump has complied with the system at every turn since he left office. he's not holed up on the island behind a militia. he's participating in the court process.
dem policies have made life more expensive, kids fall behind with draconian covid bs, cities more dangerous with defunding and bail bs, border nonsense, on and on and on. we'd be lucky to have trump back if biden is the alternative.
as for this board of course it's no fun for you. why would it be. no one wants to engage with you because you have no personality. you want to post trump is a dictator all day. why would you enjoy this board if no one ever has any fun engagement with you. you and hickory playing board tennis. yuck

Too funny. So I'm not popular and have no friends? Has a 13 year-old girl hijacked your account?yeah i'm sure you do. i trust you're as unlikable in life as you are here. just a troll with no friends. who the f would want to work with you or talk to you about anything. as for the gummy business it's jim mcmahon with a larger announcement to follow shortly. so go f yourself.

as for this board of course it's no fun for you. you don't know how to make anything fun. you dont' know how to engage with people. no wants to talk to you on this board or anywhere. you're a ****ing drip. you just want to post your partisan obsession bullshit about trump. how could that possibly be fun. trump is killing biden in the polls because people don't like biden. what's more people are sick of people like you and your endless obsession. seriously go F yourself.
Jim McMahon? The football player who was relevant thirty years ago? Yeah, he'll definitely drive sales.
My partisan obsession with Trump? Again, hilarious. I happen to like living in a representative democracy where presidents respect the time-honored tradition of the peaceful transfer of power, abide by election results, and don't corruptly attempt to remain in power after they lose. That's the shit of banana republics and dictatorships. I'm not a fan of those.
This board is a nice diversion for me, but you're ruining it. One guy commented last week how dark and brooding you've become and suggested that your constant insults and putdowns of people who dare to disagree with you have driven him away. Another guy who obviously watches your rants and antics, but rarely posts here, provided you with a book title that you could clearly benefit from, but you laughed him off. You're a mess, dude. You probably should look into getting some help.
everyone knows jim. who woudl ever want to engage with you. you've shown your personality. you have zero sense of humor, never write anything interesting or entertaining, just trump bad all the time. and believe me don't ever offer advice. you're the last guy on earth i'd want to be like. if you get a text or a phone call a month from a friend i'd be shocked. get help. change.
as for the diversion lol. bc not all of us agree that trump is the evil dictator you make out. trump sucks. i hope we get someone else. but i don't obsess over him like you or believe he's going to destroy america. we had four years of trump. biden has done far more damage. and your memory must be short. his entire presidency the board was one gif or meme after another posted. now we got biden and he's dogshit and the coin flipped and you and a few other dems on the board "don't like what the board has become." lol too bad. don't vote for biden.
we've had good discussions and been laughing and joking for two days and here you come with your usual garbage. TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP. F off dude. why on earth would anyone enjoy your company. just go away. lose the obsession. find a personality. no one gives a F about your ten thousand post on why you don't like trump

There are reporting and tax issues with foreign money. It matters a lot if Hunter laundered foreign money for Joe.

Not much if they reported the income and paid taxes.
No one with as low net worth as Hunter Biden forgets to pay $2M in taxes.
Maybe between giving 1/2 to “The Big Guy” and buying whores, he didn’t have money left to pay his taxes?
Like you didn't 'keep fighting over there here while the" Mueller "investigation is ongoing?
lmao You can't be serious.
Well, there's this little issue of claiming the cash transfers are 'loan' payments, in order to avoid paying taxes.
That's an issue whether you're a private citizen or President.

Lol, maybe he learned his whoring ways from Trump. At least none of us voted for hunter
Hey Murt, have you seen any charging stations put in by the government from the infrastructre bill that was passed?
Me neither.
Oh come one - those payments from Joe's brother's wife was just for a loan...... IRS should pay no mind.
The dealings that are publicly reported for real services?
You've taken a lot of scalps here. You deserve a break.
Yes still higher. Will I be getting a refund for the last three years? That’d be nice
If they're truly, honestly trying to learn why/if the IRS was blocked, wouldn't it be helpful to depose someone on the inside of the IRS rather than the taxpayer on the outside of the IRS?
When do I get my refund? Or are we pretending he took office today? The past three years didn’t occur?
The odds are sky high that the GOP will screw this up. Trey Gowdy was a good interrogator but they don't have anyone like him now. Comer has shown the limits of his leadership skills in the previous hearings.
Fear of public ineptness is a good reason for the GOP to oppose Hunter Biden's request for his testimony to be televised.
"Fear of public ineptness is a good reason for the GOP to oppose Hunter Biden's request for his testimony to be televised."
And this gets us back to the original premise of this thread and what a lying idiot Comer is...
There are two seperate taped appearances of Comer on various right wing shows being interviewed and promoting the possibility of subpoenaing witnesses, ie Jim and Hunter Biden. Speaking offhandedly Comer clearly says something to the effect that "they need to come in and clear this up. They can either come in for a deposition OR appear before our Committee, THEIR CHOICE.
The video below contains both those instances as well as discussing what Hunter's lawyer (Abbe Lowell) said in his original reply to the subpoena. He directly refernced both Comer appearances and stated that in accordance with Comer's previous offer Hunter was notifying them of his intent to take them up on the offer and appear publicly before the Committee. Lowell further embarrassed Comer by spelling out the reason they declined the offer to come in for a deposition, the Committe's track record of lying...
Now Comer evidently forgot about these previous offers, because he is trying to now change his tune and demand a deposition.That makes him look like enough of a fool to begin with. But then he compounds his idiocy by trying to claim that the idea of a public hearing is simply something the HB team made up out of thin air, when as the tapes show HE (Comer) was the one who made the offer, and now is desperately trying to backtrack...
The letter threatening a contempt of Congress charge vs Hunter is equally farcical. It's signed by not only Comer but by Jim Jordan as well. Our Maga friends are likely unaware that Jordan established the precedent for ignoring Congressional subpoenas and threats to be held in contempt of Congress when he refused to testify before the Jan 6 Committee.
The reason people like Comer keep making fools of themselves is because they've been backed into a corner.It's largely their own faultbecause they've allowed the MTGs and Goetzs to set the agenda. Both are in deep red districts full of true believers, so they aren't in danger of losing their seats.
At this point depending on whether or not they hold the vote on a formal inquiry prior to Xmas break, the GOP has at most a 2 seat majority of people who might possibly vote yes on a formal inquiry. That number shrinks to a single person if they can't hold the vote prior to McCarthy's resignation.
And all of that presupposes that every single one of the 18 or so moderate Pubs who represent districts Biden won decide they are more swayed by the threat of a far right primary challenger than the problems they will encounter from Biden voters in their district in the general election.
So why is Comer putting his own GOP members (and moderates who basically gave them their majority) in such a dire situation? Having to publicly vote is basically a death threat for most of those Reps. Vote No and they lose to a far right challenger that will likely cost the Pubs the seat. Vote yes and they are the candidate who has to face a district full of angry Biden voters which again likely costs the Pubs the seat...
It's a kamikaze choice for Comer, forcing a vote which will likely doom the GOP's majority. But because of Fox News, Newsmax etc as well as crazy base voters similar to dbm,DANC,ftw etc... who are desperate for an impeachment which they believe will help Trump, he has no way to avoid holding the vote. And if one of those moderate Pubs joins Buck in voting no, then Comer faces the total embarrassment of losing outright.
Charlie Sykes, who is a conservative and former Pub provides an excellent analysis of this in this conversation with WAPO reporter Philip Bump...

Biden has been in government for 50 goddamn years. Are they having that much trouble finding dirt on the man? In my opinion, pubs don’t really want this hearing, they just want to be able to talk about it and imply shit. (Kinda like when Trump wanted Ukraine to just announce an investigation, he didn’t really care if there was an actual investigation). Let me rephrase that, pubs don’t want the hearing this far away from the election because they don’t have shit and they won’t find shit. If they do end up having a hearing, I’d bet it wouldn’t be til next fall, likely October. That way it will be going on during the election and the findings (all zero of them) won’t be known til after the election.
Problem is they still have no evidence that Hunter gave Joe any ill gotten money and there is also no evidence that Joe did anything for any of said ill gotten money. I still can’t understand how any foreign actor could expect anything from private citizen Joe Biden who wasn’t holding any government office. If I saw any actual credible evidence of Joe Biden corruption I’d be calling for his impeachment. There really isn’t any. Hoping that there is isn’t evidence. That’s where we are.
He hasn’t been deposed. Were the whistleblowers’ leads pursued? Can you share those findings?
