Trump is fine because the IRS budget for 2021 is Trump's budget.

Trump will be fine.

Imagine the hypocrisy of a government who will allow businesses to card people to get a job or buy groceries, but won't card people to vote in elections and gives millions of non-citizens free money from taxpayers.

Trump will be fine for the reasons mentioned in three paragraphs from Democrats on the House Budget Committee:

After Republicans took control of the U.S. House of Representatives in 1995 and Newt Gingrich became Speaker of the House, calls to abolish the IRS became a mainstream Republican talking point. Soon after, the Republican-controlled Senate held a series of dramatic hearings on alleged abuses by the IRS (later debunked by the Government Accountability Office), followed by a new law limiting the agency’s collection powers and independence.

Not surprisingly, IRS audits and collections sunk to historic lows. When Republicans took the House majority again in 2011, they pushed to cut the IRS’s budget, citing the agency’s implementation of the Affordable Care Act. Soon, Republicans targeted the IRS again by holding hearings and launching investigations. Despite the Obama Administration’s efforts to secure sufficient funding for the IRS, Republican lawmakers continued to punish the agency and push severe funding cuts. For example, House Republicans recommended cutting the President’s budget request for the agency by 30 percent for fiscal year 2014.

Since 2010, the IRS’s budget and staff have been steadily cut in real terms, leaving the agency understaffed, constrained, and operating with archaic information technology (IT) systems. From 2010 through 2018, IRS funding was cut, resulting in the elimination of 22 percent of its staff. These cuts have gutted the agency; depleted its well-trained, specialized staff charged with auditing corporations and wealthy taxpayers; and weakened its ability to carry out emergency tasks. It follows that Trump will be fine.

I don't see why a Russian troll would even care.

Oh, wait. You're paid to lie.

Welcome to Day 85.

Today in one sentence: The U.S. Capitol Police inspector general found that the agency’s leaders failed to adequately prepare for the Jan. 6 attack despite being warned that “Congress itself is the target”; hundreds of U.S. corporations and executives signed on to a statement opposing “any discriminatory legislation” that would make it harder for people to vote; the former Minnesota police officer who shot and killed Daunte Wright during a traffic stop was arrested and charged with second-degree manslaughter; and Matt Gaetz's associate has been cooperating with the Justice Department since last year.

The U.S. Capitol Police inspector general found that the agency’s leaders failed to adequately prepare for the Jan. 6 attack despite being warned that “Congress itself is the target.” In a 104-page document, Michael Bolton criticized the way the Capitol Police prepared for and responded to the violence, finding that “heavier, less-lethal weapons,” including stun grenades, “were not used that day because of orders from leadership.” The IG report also found that some police equipment was at least 20 years old, including riot shields that shattered on impact.

But in an act of extreme irony (that I notice every time this thread comes up) "A thread for Democrats Only" was started by THUGGR, a self-described non-democrat. The meaning of *only* is so hard to figure out!
