President Joe Biden just signed into law the Democrats’ “climate, health, and tax” bill that used to be called the Inflation Reduction Act until the media and Democrats stopped calling it that all of a sudden. That means the IRS has $80 billion headed its way to help hire 87,000 new IRS agents. Relevant:
The Democrats just voted to make the IRS larger than the Pentagon, State Department, FBI, and Border Patrol combined.

A couple of weeks ago, the IRS posted an interesting job listing for special agents in their Criminal Investigation branch. Applicants would be required to carry a firearm and use deadly force if necessary. That listing quickly disappeared, but Rep. Thomas Massie has posted photos of an actual IRS recruiting program, and these trainees look like they’re ready to kill on command.

As a certified range safety officer the violations in every one of those pictures make me ill.

I’m British so forgive me if this is a stupid question; tax inspectors used to be boring, humourless accountant types, when did they turn into fully armed SWAT teams?

They all look so happy to think of the righteous vengeance they can rain down on the little old lady next door with her Etsy account

Looks like they won't be sending their best.

We’ve repeatedly been told assaulting an officer does even not justify deadly force in most cases, so exactly what justifies deadly force from the IRS?
