Related: About this forumIRS Chief Tells Issa's Oversight Committee to Go Eff itself.
IRS Commissioner John Koskinen told a House panel that congressional investigators can try to hold him in contempt over the Tea Party targeting scandal whenever they think that they can make the charge stick, something he thinks is unlikely.
The topic came up when Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., asked for a date at which it would be appropriate for agency officials to be held in contempt if they have not yet provided the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee with documents that have been requested from the IRS.
"I think the timeline is whenever you think you could actually sustain that in a court," Koskinen replied. "I think we have a strong case that we have been cooperative, continue to be cooperative, and anybody looking at the systems we have and the time it takes would find that we've provided you more cooperation than, in fact, might be expected. And I think that, in fact, arguing and threatening contempt in that situation without understanding the circumstances is probably not going to be held up."

He is such a disgrace to America...but so are all of the rightwingers...
He got his start in the auto alarm business by stealing a competitors business, he is a thoroughly despicable punk

(112,090 posts)Right answer and welcome to DU!
The "My Posts" tab at the top will light up in yellow when someone replies to your posts.
You can suscribe to various forums and groups by going to the "Forums and Groups" tab, selecting the folders that interest you, and click the subscribe to this forum button below.
Most of us use the "Latest Threads" tab to keep up with the most current posts. I suggest setting the filters to show "All" for the two columns farthest to the left in the black bar.
I hope that helps you out.

(16,286 posts)thanks so much for helping
dont see ALL in black bar to left, left of what screen?
most forums say "cannot subscribe" but i will use the my posts yellow lighting up feature which is way better, thanks for that
so you just look at "my posts" to see responses and you look at latest threads which could be from general discussion or politics or any forum, right?
thanks again

(112,090 posts)If you want to see all the threads posted on DU you will need to set your filters to "All." Click on the Latest Threads tab at top and set the filters I circled in red as shown below:
Note: Milestones are when an individual thread receives numerous responses and they will appear when that particular thread jumps in increments of 25. They are denoted by the blue triangle on the left side of the thread.
As far as subscribing to individual groups, click on the "Forums & Groups" tab at top, then click on the individual folder that you want to subscribe. In this instance, I'm noting a group that I already subscribe to so it says "Unsubscribe from this group" instead. Whenever someone creates a new thread in that group, the "My Subscriptions" tab at top will turn yellow similar to the "My Posts" tab. You can view the groups that you subscribe to by looking at the left side navigation guide under "My Subscriptions" and it will show the folders that you select.
Note that you cannot subscribe to individual threads or individual posts. If a particular thread is of interest, then click the "Bookmark this thread" that is below the DU Rec button. You can remove the bookmark by clicking on that button again. You can see all of your bookmarks by clicking "My Bookmarks" link above the Google search bar at the top of the screen. You might want to investigate the "My Account" and "My Profile" link also.
One other piece of advice that I'll provide is that regarding the choice of which Web Browser to use. I use Firefox as my Web browser and the Ad block add-on so that ads are not displayed and because it will virtually eliminate most ads when viewing videos which saves a tremendous amount of time. The colorful background is also a theme that I chose using Firefox. The ad blocker works outside of DU and I consider it a "must" if you view a lot of videos such as YouTube, Lifetime, MSNBC, etc.
Do not delete Internet Explorer as a Web browser though since it has some good diagnostic tools for diagnosing and repairing Web connectivity. Internet Explorer is also necessary to be able to completely navigate some Web pages due to the mark-up language if a Web page developer designed their application specifically for that browser. For example, there are a few newspaper Websites that won't allow the user to advance to a second page of comments by clicking the link when using Firefox, but it will allow the user to do so when using Internet Explorer.
I hope that assists with making your experience on DU (and the rest of the Internet) more pleasant since I'm gathering that you might be a novice user. I've been working on computers for about 25 years so I ended up learning a lot by playing with various functions. However, it's always great to read new tips to make surfing on the Web more fun.
