Lolcow Bex Gerber says Treasury now reads KF.

So how do I talk to the Treasury guy here? The IRS keeps sending me nastygrams about a tax bill I paid years ago, have proof I paid years ago, and the website and everyone I talk to at the IRS says it's a system glitch and I shouldn't be getting these, but they still keep adding late fees and interest penalties on the supposed owed amount, all on IRS stationery and not a scam, just a "glitch."

I feel like it's a bad use of my tax dollars to send certified letters to people like me who don't actually owe back taxes, and it sure freaks a person out to receive a notice like that. Even more fun if it happens in front of family and friends when the mail carrier makes you sign for it. I have low level anxiety that these "we will seize your assets" notices will end up resulting in $12k being wiped from my accounts and I'll have to sue to get it back from these morons. Please fire them and/or disband the entire IRS, so that taxpaying, family-having Americans like me who worked their way up from poverty and into a high bracket...the exact kind of thing America wants to encourage...don't have to live in fear of this agency's "mistakes" and "glitches" wiping out assets and savings.

Edward Coristine, if you're really here, getting rid of little glitches like that would be a real boon to real people.

(I know, I know, DOGE is not my personal army...)

Exactly one week after making this post, I received an official letter from the IRS saying that I do not owe them anything and the supposed tax debt was in error. Thanks, Mr. Coristine!

I'm not a fan of the federal "tee hee we aren't mandating this nationally, we'll just make highway funding dependent on if you follow these guidelines" bullshit they've been doing for decades. But that's how we've been running the country ever since the New Deal. "The premise it establishes" is older than you are, and was last seriously challenged/affirmed at SCOTUS in 1987.

And sadly we aren't going to get anywhere on rolling the theory back by letting one side use it with impunity while the other loses with dignity. Truces are only reached when both sides have something to gain by stopping the fight.

14 days for public schools in all 50 states to remove all DEI programming or lose federal funding.

States' rights, amirite?

Regardless of how you feel about progressives this is federal overreach and the premise it establishes is fucking grim.

Step 1: make up a set over reaching rules and departments that you're glad to give to "your guys"

Step 2: have the politicians you don't like use those very same rules against you

Time to stop crying and pissing and shitting yourself. Time to get into the burger suit.

They won't be booing when we lower the red leaf in Ottawa and raise the stars and stripes



It's funny they leveled criticism of the DOGE people based on their age for a few reasons, firstly us having congressmen in their fucking 80s or close to it (some of which need wheelchair assistance to get around as their bodies falls apart) and our founding fathers were largely in their 20s and 30s when they convened to craft one of the greatest founding legal documents ever written by man, would they just be "dumb kids"?

They don't want "younger faces", they want politically aligned younger faces.

I think it's more than fair. When you're brainwashing children and trooning them out without any parent outreach ON the taxpayer's dime, yeah, they need to play ball or suffer. It's not like they were not doing all of that with the government's blessing.

it's an interesting implication God mellowed out after getting his dick wet (spiritually).

My favorite explanation is the annoyed deal maker God.

The original covenant was all rules based. Not just the ten commandments but things like circumcision, don't eat pork, don't work on the sabbath, don't use mixed fabrics. Follow all those and you can go to heaven and be with God upon your death.
The only problem is that people would straight up break the covenant all the time, or they would use it as an excuse to not be good people, or would try to find loopholes.

Anyone who knows jews knows they make it their job to find loopholes to God's commandments like they're fucking lawyers and they'll get a big payout if they pull it off. Technically following the rules but getting what they want anyway.
So the new covenant removes all possible loopholes and makes it retard proof.

You only have to do one thing, truly repent and accept christ as your savior. That's it. You don't need to circumcise, you need a circumcision of the heart.
If it's the sabbath that doesn't give you an excuse not to save a drowning man just because you would count it as work.

And you can't fake it. The repentance and acceptance had to be real. You can't say it and not mean it. If Ted Bundy says he accepts christ after murdering 30 people he doesn't get a get out of jail free card because psychopaths are literally incapable of feeling guilt or a true desire to change.

But at the same time, if you mess up you can't use it as an excuse not to try, because so long as you genuinely regret it and want to change your slate can be washed clean.
NO LOOPHOLES.

And with that, the crafty lawyer shenanigans of jews resolved, the problem of people constantly fucking up and pissing him off fixed, he chilled out.
It's an amusing interpretation.

Look, I get that this is hard to understand for a lot of people, but between now and where we were during the inauguration a month ago, the notion of middle of the road politics has gone out the fucking window. I simply don't give a rat's anus about Trump playing fair anymore and neither should you. Trump could start black vanning judges, killing the DOGE protestors in the street with the military and I will 1010% support it. Heck, I'd even volunteer for it. The corruption being exposed by DOGE is so much worse than I ever imagined it would be in my wildest dreams. The only way this nation survives and goes on to thrive is a complete eradication of the Deep State on all levels from local government to federal. The idea that the Deep State will someday "do the same to us" is an irrational fear at this point because they've been doing us plenty damn harm already. This isn't funny anymore. The White House and Federal government needs a complete purge and this needs to be maintained for at least 50 years until these people die off.

I expected our government to be corrupt. I did not expect them to behind everything. I didn't expect entire news corporations to be fake government propaganda machines. I didn't expect how many of these fuckers were getting pieces of the pie. I didn't expect EVERYTHING about DEI and the Color Revolution to have as little to do with China as it has been. These people are evil. They are evil incarnate and they need to be eradicated. At this point, I can't be arsed to bother to care about States Rights when we have this level of corruption in our system. We need to do whatever it takes to get rid of these people and keep them out of politics forever.

If “states rights” involves teaching children about fags fucking each other with chains than I think in this particular instant fuck that.
 
There's a book published just recently in January this year about "Backyard Bankers" where they break down ( and praise ) immigrants pooling money together among themselves as "money clubs" to get access to real estate, small business, land, loans and more. Someone should send this to ICE as an ad-hoc manual lol
https://www.amazon.com/Backyard-Bankers-Immigrants-pursuit-American/dp/1788534247
Discover the world of immigrant ‘money clubs’ in the US. Learn how groups of migrants and refugees creatively pool resources to first survive—putting food on the table—then thrive as they expand their businesses and invest in real estate. From modest set-ups in Iowa to intricate systems in Boston, grassroots money clubs drive immigrant success through thrift, accountability, and smart lending.

Representing members from Latin American, African, and Asian communities, money clubs draw on grit and ingenuity to build financial stability and meaningful connections in a new land.

'Backyard Bankers shows that people themselves have solutions that they own and that work - without a lot of experts trying to tell them or show them what to do. A must read for those who want to help - not harm.' John Hammock Co-founder of Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI) and Chair of SOPHIA Oxford United Kingdom 'This book demonstrates clearly the value of money clubs, particularly for newcomers to the United Sates. Benefiting from their experience in various countries in Africa, Latin America, Asia and elsewhere, the authors document the ongoing importance of traditional group finance; how it supports and facilitates economic growth and builds important and useful social capital. And while GDP per capita may be higher in America then many of the countries that come to mind when we think of 'informal finance', this book clearly shows the value and sustainability of these groups and the benefits they bring demonstrating they can and do work anywhere, including America. For anyone interested in understanding the determination, discipline and resourcefulness of immigrants to pursue the American Dream, Backyard Bankers is a must read.' Joanna Ledgerwood, Author of 'The New Microfinance Handbook' and 'Making Market Systems Work for the Poor'

No they wouldn't, ethnic groups like the Amish do this sort of thing all the time.

The only thing preventing white Americans from doing the exact same thing and building generational wealth is Billy Boomer's lust for a 4th vacation home and 13th motorcycle.
