10. Here's the basic deal, when the Teabaggers started getting all pissed off,

Nov 2014

which was basically when the black man got elected President and, coincidentally, with the confluence of Citizens United, many, many, many loonies thought that they could make a buck out of the gold rush of dark money that was going to flood into the political realm. Wanting to cash in, they started all these 'bagger groups which, unbeknown to them, were obviously partisan, but they didn't really understand what that meant. When they realized that uber-wealthy fucks not only want to buy elections, they wanted a tax break to boot, then they applied for 501c4 status. Otherwise, without it, they could not nurse on the golden teat.

So, all of a sudden there is a rush of applications for non-profit, unaligned groups that are obviously partisan, and, because they are ridiculously uncreative asshats, they all had "Tea" in their names.

The IRS was doing what the IRS should have done and giving them the scrutiny that those frauds deserved.

The rumpus is a fraud perpetrated by the Republican Party used to give them cover for as long as possible, which apparently they still have today and have coincidentally used to bamboozle the electorate into voting again for another group a farkin lunatics.

Get it?
