Biden Gave 53 Researchers, Student Volunteers Access to IRS Data

Senate Democrats worry over a DOGE aide gaining access to IRS data, after Biden authorized access for 53 researchers and student volunteers.

Oh? I'm STILL waiting for you to provide the following data from your "fire chief" or "mayor" friends:

How many water tower/tanks in the are of the Cali. fires?
What volume in GPM do the pumps feeding those towers provide?
How many 2" fire hoses were running at the time they lost water pressure to hydrants?
How much water was in the reservoir feeding the towers?
Which reservoir/s are we talking about?

Dude! You keep asking the same question about the towers. I already shut you down on this, but you can't seem to understand physics. It's quite simple... A water tower being fed with two 3' channels from two different sources will provide twice as much water as a single 3' channel from one single source. I already showed you that the towers were gravity fed and there are no pumps to them. This is 100% proof that you are ignoring the facts that I give you.

Which reservoirs???? The did you not read the article I sent you? Again, 100% proof you don't read the facts that I give you. CLASSIC

That's a weird ramble about USAID, Musk, Trump, Biden, Newsom. Happy Hour ramblings?

What? You can't defend that you don't have the integrity to speak against your political party? More proof that you are 100% weak minded.

I've never said a positive word about Musk. But you think it's bad that someone may change their mind about a person based on that person's behavior?
So, Trump should still be referencing Epstein as his best buddy, and a great guy?
Interesting.

Best buddy? Whatever! Never mind the articles I sent you to debunk your claims. Again, you're blind to the truth. How about Epstein having a panting of Bill Clinton over his desk to mess with Bill, or how the Clinton's use to ditch their security to take a trip to Epstein's island?

Also interesting: You choose to use the phrase "bridged internally" to (probably incorrectly) describe inputs on an amplifier, just like ThxOne used it to (incorrectly) describe the "multiple outputs" on his mono Rockford amp.

What the hell are you talking about? The only thing I have ever said about an amp being internally bridged is it was done decades ago, and I don't know of any current ones. I also mentioned an amp being internally bridged when there are two speaker outputs that are internally connected. Nothing about a current, or recent, mono amp having two internal amps that are bridged. I told you this once before when you accused me of this claim.

And you answer questions asked directly of him, and he answers questions directly asked of you.

You guys share notes and work together to put shitty posts up on the site?

Again, what the hell are you talking about? So having some common thoughts is bad? I also commented in favor of some things you said as well. Do you see anyone else crying about it?

Bottom line is, you repeat all this disinformation/false news that you hear from your MSNBC, CNN, etc... In fact, one of your greatest idles was just fired for spewing that same false news. How about that?

I keep asking you to do better, but it's quite clear you don't have the ability.

I pulled the information from the Merriam Websters dictionary web site. You called me a liar. Below is the exact copied and pasted post I made. I made no other claims you smelly ****.

"Look, subsonic used in a sentence relevant to audio. From a dictionary web site!!!!

"With a frequency range starting at a subsonic 4Hz and extending to a bat-squeaking 96kHz, these headphones have a tonality enhanced with high-frequency sparkle but with a comfortable sound signature.""

So if you saw on this website a link to ANOTHER website where they said cars are painted with a roller and a brush at the Ford plant, that would mean it's true?

You think when a writer for Forbes doing an advertorial for headphones uses a word incorrectly, then it must be correct because he used it?
I suppose since Trump said that there were airports in the late 1700's, and it was quoted on a Fox website, it must be true?
Try some due diligence, kid.

I have said this like 4 times. It has other meanings!!!

Ohhhhhh, you SAID it. Well, THAT changes everything! ThxOne has SPOKEN! HAHAHAHAHA
Show me the definition that subsonic means something other than below the speed of sound.

sub- word-forming element of Latin origin meaning "under, beneath; behind; from under; resulting from further division," from Latin preposition sub "under, below, beneath, at the foot of," also "close to, up to, towards;" of time, "within, during;" figuratively "subject to, in the power of;
sonic (adj.) - "done by means of sound waves," 1923, from Latin sonus "sound" (from PIE root *swen- "to sound")

subsonic (adj. also sub-sonic, "being below the speed of sound" 1937, from sub- "below" + sonic (adj.)​

Again... you are trying to argue a point that only you were talking about. I never made this claim. But you are stupid so off you go.

"Do you have a subwoofer? It is used to reproduce subsonic frequencies of sound."
ThxOne

How do you set up your subwoofer to deal with the sound that is slower than sound?

No I didn't. You are making that claim based on you using ONE definition of the word. Stop being an ******* Rob.

There is ONE definition. Established in 1937 when the word was created.

subsonic (adj. also sub-sonic, "being below the speed of sound" 1937, from sub- "below" + sonic (adj.)​

Just because you want to create your own meaning, and use of the word, doesn't change the one definition that exists.

Ahhhh so you are a coward and a liar.

Huh?

Now you will ignore anything that gets posted and you will claim nothing gets posted and will repeat the same dumb shit for 10 ******* pages. You won't post the pictures of the gear you claim you have, why, because you lied and you will just keep on posting calling people liars.

Speaking of ten pages of not posting anything, can you post the definition of "subsonic" that is other then below the speed of sound?
Can you tell us about your subwoofer setup that makes sound that is slower than the speed of sound? Can it make sound that is faster than sound?

Very interesting concept.
Kind of like driving down the highway and going faster than yourself along the way.

"Subsonic bass is a low-frequency range of sound that's below 60 Hz and is felt more than heard. It's also known as sub-bass."

Instagram is not a dictionary. What dictionary did that quote come from?

Changing the words from "sub bass" to "subsonic bass" changes the meaning of the phrases, but does not change the definition of "subsonic".

subsonic - less than the speed of sound

Wonder why there's a hpf labeled subsonic on many many amps

Dude! You keep asking the same question about the towers. I already shut you down on this, but you can't seem to understand physics. It's quite simple... A water tower being fed with two 3' channels from two different sources will provide twice as much water as a single 3' channel from one single source. I already showed you that the towers were gravity fed and there are no pumps to them. This is 100% proof that you are ignoring the facts that I give you.

You didn't "shut down" anything. Your 36" channel claim has NOTHING to do with the reality of what happened in that fire. I could say three 48" mains deliver more water than two 36" mains, but so what?

Answer the questions that speak to the reality, and then you have an argument.

Which reservoirs???? The did you not read the article I sent you? Again, 100% proof you don't read the facts that I give you. CLASSIC

You do not have my email address, and you didn't private message me any "articles".

So just answer the question of which reservoir was feeding the water tower/tanks, and how much water it had in it.
Answer the question of how many water towers feed the area of the fires.
Answer the question of how many 2" fire hoses were running at the time of the pressure drop.

What? You can't defend that you don't have the integrity to speak against your political party? More proof that you are 100% weak minded.

What does this even mean? I ask you to share your complaints, and you claim it's me not having integrity to speak against a political party?
Honestly, i think you are just too easily confused by more than one though stream, and just fall back on nonsense like the above snippet.

Best buddy? Whatever! Never the articles I sent you to debunk your claims. Again, you're blind to the truth. How about Epstein having a panting of Bill Clinton over his desk to mess with Bill, or how the Clinton's use to ditch their security to take a trip to Epstein's island?

Yeah, best buddy.

"I’ve known Jeff [Epstein] for 15 years. Terrific guy, He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.” ― Donald Trump​

"Never the articles I sent you to debunk your claims."
Feel free to translate that to English.

What the hell are you talking about? The only thing I have ever said about an amp being internally bridged is it was done decades ago, and I don't know of any current ones. I also mentioned an amp being internally bridged when there are two speaker outputs that are internally connected. Nothing about a current, or recent, mono amp having two internal amps that are bridged. I told you this once before when you accused me of this claim.

Oh? Must have been the frog that you and ThxOne both have in your pockets.
"That's because the Stinger amp has two inputs that are that are bridged internally."
Is the Stinger a modern amp?

Again, what the hell are you talking about? So having some common thoughts is bad? I also commented in favor of some things you said as well. Do you see anyone else crying about it?

Just a happy coincidence that ThxOne claims (incorrectly) that his mono Rockford amp is "bridged internally" to allow more than one set of external speaker connections, and you claim (probably incorrectly) that the inputs on a Stinger amp are "bridged internally".
Who with any clue about car audio talks about their amp being "bridged internally", unless they get some AI result that uses the phrase?

Just a happy coincidence that he directly answers a question I ask you of what you are thinking, and you directly answer a question I ask of him.

Kismet.

Bottom line is, you repeat all this disinformation/false news that you hear from your MSNBC, CNN, etc... In fact, one of your greatest idles was just fired for spewing that same false news. How about that?

You, Buck, Spokey, ThxOne, all make this claim repeatedly, but I have yet to see ONE of you be able to provide an example.

So go ahead: POST AN EXAMPLE TO PROVE YOUR CLAIM. SCREENSHOT ONE OF MY POSTS WHERE I HAVE "REPEATED DISINFORMATION/FALSE NEWS".

I keep asking you to do better, but it's quite clear you don't have the ability.

I'd ask you to do better, but you really haven't done anything.
So, teach me by example.

Answer the question of which reservoir was feeding the water tower/tanks in the area of the Cali fires, and how much water it had in it. If more than one, provide the data on all of them.
Answer the question of how many water tower/tanks feed the area of the fires.
Answer the question of the volume capacity of the pumps that feed the tower/tanks.
Answer the question of how many 2" fire hoses were running at the time of the pressure drop.
Send me the satellite pics of Newsom's lush green farms surrounded by desolate and dead farm that he stole the water from.
Send me satellite pics of the giant water valve that Trump had the military open so the water could flow abundantly to Southern California.

Anybody else notice team Blue was all for hiring more IRS agents to audit us, but is throwing a fit over "us" auditing the government.

I think "team blue" is more upset about HOW this "audit" is being done, and "team red" would likely be twice as upset if Biden had pulled a stunt like this.

Remember, it was a GOP goal to get APRA passed if Trump got in the White House. Now, they open the security doors to Musk and his handful of nerds, to just access whatever they want to see at will.
Who exactly is Musk's oversight? WHO is making sure HE is not committing fraud and waste?
We are supposed to trust him simply because he let Trump back on Twitter, and handed him $250,000,000 to buy an election?

It's odd how "team red", who proclaims themselves as "team patriots" and "team law and order" is suddenly willing to throw it all away and back Trump, who is "team law and Constitution violation".

Team Red (sort of) has been looking for spending cuts since the 80s, so I think they'd be fine with any cuts, especially some of the crazy ones Elon has found. I'm not sure why people think it's illegal for the Administrative Branch to audit itself? I would assume Trump is ensuring Elon isn't committing fraud and waste and lets be honest, Elon doesn't have a lot of motivation to rip off the American taxpayer.

Finding waste isn't in their (or any politician's) wheelhouse...when's the last time anything was passed that wasn't 1000+ pages long?

But the richest man ever might steal $500 out of someone's checking account with access to personal data

The point is Rob, Subsonic IS USED by other people to describe sub-bass. Just because you don't accept it doesn't change that FACT. You may move on now.

Move on without admitting people use the word to describe sub-bass and that it is acceptable to do so.
Move on without showing pics of the gear you claim to have with your screen name and date.
Move on without actually proving me wrong about subsonic.
Move on having argued a different topic that nobody was discussing but you.
Move on knowing I just paid $2.52 per gallon of gas when I filled up.

Is the $5,000 tax refund real? Inquiring minds want to know.

Elon is not a member of the Administrative Branch.
Trump has no clue what Elon and team are doing, and I think we both know that. Hell, his team doesn't seem to know what they are doing. (cough) COBOL (cough)

He doesn't have motivation? TESLA
Not to mention billions in government contracts.

That sure is a whole lot of speculation and theory. What are you basing this on? Facts or emotions?

And if someone walks up to you and says "I was outside and I seen a car go by", does that make it grammatically correct? Correct becasue you heard someone USE it that way?
Wow.

Move on without admitting people use the word to describe sub-bass and that it is acceptable to do so.

YOU used it to describe bass from a subwoofer. Your mistake.
Own it.

Move on without showing pics of the gear you claim to have with your screen name and date.

YOU asked me to state what I have and then demand proof? NOPE.
If I had come on here and said what I have and that it is record-breaking stuff, yeah you can ask for proof.
And I would expect you to. Welcome to reality.

Move on without actually proving me wrong about subsonic.

subsonic - less than the speed of sound
THAT is the definition of the word. It describes speed, not frequencies.
You screwed up. Own it.

Move on having argued a different topic that nobody was discussing but you.

YOU are the one who talked about subwoofers producing subsonic sound.
Had you been smart enough to use the right words, your error would not now be a topic of discussion.
Own it.

Move on knowing I just paid $2.52 per gallon of gas when I filled up.

Prices are going up. Weird. Trump said they would go down.
Maybe he's too busy trying to set up a golf tournament merger so he can make more money.

Is the $5,000 tax refund real? Inquiring minds want to know.

If so, that's the dumbest idea ever. If the money they are stealing increased the debt, it should go to pay the debt down.
That's up to $4.5 billion dollars.
