Whatever Trump has on Polis must be a doozy.
Aardman (@aardman.bsky.social) reply parent
He doesn’t care if the fakeness of it is obvious - that’s intentional, its purpose is to scare people by its brazenness - it’s saying “See? If I can pull this shit and get away with it I can do whatever the fuck I want because my supporters will ALWAYS fall for it and support me.” That’s terrifying.

Nobody committing acts of violence in furtherance of election lies deserves honors - this is a sickening abuse of the entire notion of what constitutes “honor” and cheapens the award for all previous recipients.

It’s time for an international coalition to invade America and take out this entire administration for the good of the world, and that’s because I’m convinced Trump is such a rancid, vindictive baby he wants to kill us all via global warming, and that’s an international threat, so they need to do it

Most of that occurred BEFORE networks figured out they could make money from the news by turning it into entertainment. They used to look at it as a responsibility and a loss / write off. Once that happened we got Fox and everything went to hell to the point where we now have feckless propaganda.

The document is even called “Voluntary Self Assessment.” What more evidence does anybody need? If as few as 3 - 5% of the population did this the entire fascist fiasco would fall flat on its fucking face from funding starvation.
Aardman (@aardman.bsky.social) reply parent
I’m talking about income taxes. Cut withholding as much as possible which is legal. Then choose to NOT voluntarily self assess your taxes next April 15th which is also legal because you sign under penalty of perjury and we still have the 5th amendment which prohibits forced self incrimination.

The best and least violent way to stop this would be to call for a general nation wide tax strike. There’s legal ways to do it but unfortunately most people are even more afraid if the IRS than they are of this felonious, evil administration.

Yup, they do what they’re told or they’re gone. Just once I would like to hear one of them yell “are you fucking kidding me?

I’ve come to the conclusion that he’s so full of hatred he wants to make the world suffer as much as possible, including exacerbating global warming to the point where we all perish. I honestly wish a a coalition of European nations would invade America and take him & all his enablers out.

It’s really sad. Back in the days of Walter Cronkite the news was viewed as a responsibility and a loss write off. As soon as they figured out how to turn it into entertainment and make a profit it went to hell, first Fox showed up then the rapid descent to what we have now - feckless propaganda.

It’s impossible to prove a negative, but it’s easy to see they’ve rolled over and exposed their soft underbellies like one of Noem’s dogs trying to avoid a gun to the head. Their corporate masters are more concerned with the bottom line than they are fulfilling their responsibility to inform.
Aardman (@aardman.bsky.social) reply parent
I honestly believe he wants to deliberately kill the earth via global warming because he’s that full of hatred. He’s certainly doing all he can to hasten it. This is why I believe the international community needs to invade America and take him and his hateful regime out. We’d all benefit from it.

The way I see it the only non-violent way to stop this is via a general nation-wide tax strike. The irony of this is you can do it legally by cutting withholding and then not filing next year. Just don’t lie to evade, but it’s amazing how many are more afraid of the IRS than they are of Trump.

3/3 It has to be voluntary because the 5th amendment protects us from self incrimination, at least for the time being anyway. Lying on the form is perjury. For the sake of argument lest say this ISN’T legal - so what? It’s non-violent, and if millions of taxpayers do this, they’re screwed big time.
Aardman (@aardman.bsky.social) reply parent
2/3… cut withholding or eliminate it (which is legal) and then don’t voluntarily self assess your taxes next year, which is also legal. Yes, that’s legal. Look at the title of the form “voluntary self assessment.” It’s voluntary. This is because you sign under penalty of perjury.
Aardman (@aardman.bsky.social) reply parent
When this becomes reality then reality dictates we either take matters into our own hands - i.e., open rebellion, or we submit. Or, the third and best choice is calling for a nationwide tax strike which is non violent and is legal as long as you… 1/3
