      Yeah I fucking hate this stupidity/incompetence rethoric. We’re way past all that: this is all done with intentional malice. Hell, the malice is the main motivator for these people.

        Well the NYT can’t call fascist takeover what it is, that wouldn’t be “fit to print” as their money lies in service of power.

        Sharpiegate was already analogous to Caligula declaring war on the sea.

    I’d love to see the look of people’s faces celebrating this when they realize they still need to pay taxes and the process is going to become much more annoying due to IRS being understaffed
