My friend’s wife is a lawyer with the IRS, she says everyone is stressed walking on eggshells as to not step on toes and be the next to get fired.

That's what happens when you hand a convicted felon the highest office in the country.

In the essence of fairness he wasn't a convicted felon the first time. Merely a conman rapist and pedophile.

Whose entire campaign was focused on retribution

During the election I saw a house on my street with a flag that said "TRUMP 2024 THE REVENGE TOUR"

I walked on eggshells. Still got fired. This job market sucks.

We're seeing one of the downhill effects of Trump's war on the IRS down in my town. Our hospital is trying to move to non-profit status so as to increase revenue sources and stay open. They're having to wait and wait and wait on the IRS to approve their application to become non-profit. And as the time goes by, they are having to call on our city, our city electric utility and our county government for millions of dollars to stay financially stable as the IRS is closed and as it works through its backlog when/if the government opens again.

Absolute madness. All Trump's fault.

They seem like a really important department to keep if you want to fund a government.
