Warm-up acts are on right now.

Republicans keep trying to turn the focus to stoking outrage against Biden's proposed IRS policies to enforce tax payments. Anything to detract from the true purpose of this hearing.

Not sure when the main act starts, but the warm-up theatrics are amusing. Good mental practice for debunking misleading right wing talking points.

1. If there is attempts to shift discussions away, to like IRS policies, then start talking about

trump ripping off tax payers w/ his skimpy tax returns, taking unapproved deductions, inflating the value of his assets when convenient, or when not convenient (for yearly tax bills), etc. Refocus right back to trump cheating the tax man.

2. I'd like to see the IRS be way more aggressive in tax collection.

Tax cheats are dead beats.

3. They all had similar attacks, like choreographed puppets

I guess this is the issue that they think will excite the right wing today.

4. The Republicans are taping their soundbytes for when the mid terms come along
