IRS chief vows revenge after being ousted by Elon Musk’s DOGE

newrepublic.com IRS Chief Vows Revenge After Being Ousted by Elon Musk’s DOGE

“I’m just trying to do my goddamn job. They have no idea who they picked a f—king fight with.”

Summary

Former IRS human resources chief Traci DiMartini is fighting back after being fired for allegedly telling employees that agency firings came from DOGE-controlled Office of Personnel Management and refusing to call staff into weekend work during tax season.

Placed on leave Monday for "ineffective management" and "insubordination," DiMartini, a 21-year government veteran with no prior disciplinary issues, claims DOGE is attempting to "politicize human capital" by hiring only loyalists while ignoring civil service protections.

"They have no idea who they picked a f—king fight with," she stated, vowing to challenge her dismissal despite not planning to return to federal employment.

"They have no idea who they picked a f—king fight with,"

😁
- I love ~~his~~her attitude! Watch some geeky ~~dude~~ lady from the IRS come out and start kicking some ass.
  
  Her. Even better, one of them womenfolk the right is so afraid of.
  
  Of all the people to pick a fight with, a long term IRS worker is the worst they could have picked.
  
  I guess their rich egos don't know that (to normal people) the only two certainties are death and taxes.
- Fuck yes, Traci!
I don't even care if she wins. This is the fucking attitude we need right now.
- Hahaha. Man. Jamie Lee Curtis is amazing in this movie.
  
  I'm intrigued, what movie is this?
  
  You should see her in The Bear. Holy God. She shook me.
- The trophies... 🥹
Pissing off HR is such a colossally self-defeating move in almost every possible context. I actually really hate that's the case, but boy is it welcome here, these folks are really stepping in some shit. HR lead in the first place, and of the fucking IRS? I'd literally take my chances sharing lunch with a bear over inflaming that individual so badly.
- And she sounds pissed.
  
  "They have no idea who they picked a f—king fight with,"
  
  That's the other thing, those people don't usually talk like that 😬 she's going nuclear lol
Man, you know shit is bad when the head of the IRS looks like a hero.
- I mean, the head of the IRS absolutely could be a hero. Fighting billionaire tax fraud would be heroic for example. They were definitely starting that up again, until the corrupt executive coup started.
  
  This was the head of HR though.
  
  This was the head of HR though
  
  Mm I did miss that.
  
  That said, HR is generally no friend of the people
- So everyone removed about taxes but think about the Republican campaign against it for years.
  
  Any attempts to simplify taxes has been fought to keep companies like TurboTax and H&R Block profitable, while every chance the Republicans decry any taxes whatsoever so keeps the min wage people against taxes.
  
  But the thing is IRS defunding typically goes after the sections of the IRS that investigates tax fraud from the billionaires and businesses that try to wiggle out after all the tax cuts they've worked through, they've managed to demonize a portion of the government that's supposed to be funding the government and goes after the wealthy that don't pay their fair share.
- The IRS is one of the most profitable agencies in government. So why do you think they want to downsize it?
China is actively looking to recruit people terminated by DOGE especially in tech, science, weather, medical, research, geological, aviation and nuclear.

She looks nice. I hope she finds a way to kick some ass.
- Oh my gosh, she looks so nice! I think it's about time for those of us they'd never expect to stand up and start burning it all down.
Oh, I hope nobody gets ghaddafied.
So the grim ripper of taxes everyone is afraid to talk about is the one to finally call it out. I hope she and her office workers are safe. I want her to tear this fucker into pieces.
IYKYK
Fuck him up
SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS
USE YOUR SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS ON THIS ILLEGAL ALIEN ALREADY, DIPSHIT DIMARTINI.
- Seriously. It's in black and white. We have a right to kill musk and Trump
  
  If people don't use their second amendment rights to remove a tyrant, it disproves the concept and there's no reason to have the amendment.
  
  Anyone who believes the second amendment is good law has a duty to follow through on proving it.
Yeeeessss. You don't fuck with HR.
What would be really awesome is if she gave free advice to the working class on loopholes and stuff on how to pay the least amount of taxes.
Yeah doubt thag anything will come of this unfortunately.
