Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer is very, very worried about the possibility that House Republicans, now that they’re back in control, will take further actions to kneecap the IRS. Perish the thought!
It’s absolutely absurd.
House Republicans want to help large corporations and multi-millionaires avoid paying their fair share of taxes.
Democrats won’t let it happen. pic.twitter.com/eZIu3MQVTw

But if you think that making it harder for the IRS to come after middle- and working-class taxpayers is a scary prospect, just think about what a House Republican majority could mean for the FBI. Naturally, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough is well aware of what could happen, and, naturally, he asked Schumer about it on “Morning Joe” today:
Scarborough to Schumer: "What can you guys do, what can you senators do to protect America from the extremists that put Kevin McCarthy in power so they don’t slash the military budget, so they don’t attack the FBI, so they don’t defund the FBI. What can you guys do?” pic.twitter.com/vAcNYnwMp0

“I’m gonna ask this question as a conservative.” That right there should give you all the proof you need that you’re about to sit through two and a half minutes of BS.

And that’s exactly what you got from Scarborough and Schumer. You may very well have also gotten a headache, or, at the very least, extremely dizzy.

Wait…Democrats WANT to increase defense spending? That's a new one https://t.co/LgrPlxumET

What a time to be alive!
Concerns from US liberals' favorite cable network and one of their most beloved hosts:
* Don't criticize or investigate the FBI!
* Don't consider any cuts to the military budget that increases every year!
* Don't reduce the budget for the US Security State!
Something changed. https://t.co/95mIDEUqJD

Yep. Donald Trump broke their brains.
He states he’s a conservative but is upset about smaller government?

Narrator: Joe Scarborough is not a conservative. And the alleged friends he’s allegedly been commiserating with about this stuff aren’t conservatives, either. They’re just idiots.
"As a conservative" I'm really upset that a few people actually seem to want to limit government. That's not the Republican Party I grew up with!
Yes, it's very extreme to slightly cut the ever expanding defense budget and to be skeptical of bureaucratic power. https://t.co/OgSEWev1xS

Like I said: idiots.
These people are such frauds. They tell on themselves every passing day. They say they're upset with the GOP abandoning principles of "limited government" and embracing "fascism" with Trump. Yet they vociferously attack the ideas that limit government power the most!

The migration of neoconservative establishment hacks like @JoeNBC from Republican to Democrat is not something to sleep on. It means something, and it really shows up in clips like this.

At least they’re telling on themselves. Saves the rest of us the trouble of having to do it.
