You know why the IRS doesn't investigate any of these blatant violations of the Johnson Amendment (let alone actually enforce them), don't you? The agency is severely underfunded; is responsible for administering the most godawful morass of laws, rules, and regulations on Earth (which are constantly being modified); has staffing shortages; is using really old, outmoded computer hardware and software; and by law must insist that taxpayers do their own filings, much of it still on paper forms.
Why is this? Follow the money! Who stands to lose if the IRS actually operates efficiently and collects all the taxes people legally owe? Thanks to withholding, average folks like you and me pay what we're supposed to, but anyone rich enuf to buy their own Congresscritter is very very interested in making sure that their own loot is as safe as possible from the government. These are the very people who practically invented the term "loophole". The LAST thing they want is an effective Internal Revenue Service. And, given the current composition of the US Congress (especially after the "Citizens United" decision), their dreams have come true.
I just love the smell of hypocrisy in the morning... Taylor Swift tweets to he fans that they should REGISTER TO VOTE and the reichwing goes nuts Even though she as every right to do so. This guy tells the nation WHO THEY SHOULD VOTE FOR (which is FUCKING ILLEGAL) and what do we hear? ***crickets***
Hibbs is one of those people who 1) likes the sound of his own voice and 2) has a VERY bad case of verbal diarrhea, never mind also thinking that because HE does it, it's okay, as evinced by his endorsement of candidate Steve Garvey from the pulpit (regardless of where he was standing!).
The sad fact is that Hibbs will almost certainly get away with this crap. I have yet to hear of the IRS digging into ANY of the hundreds of incidents of church-based endorsements of candidates, to the point where if they DID, headlines and I mean BIG headlines should result. One thing that WOULD be productive is if Steve Garvey REJECTED Hibbs' endorsement, saying that it was improper and unconstitutional and that he wanted to run on his own qualifications and not because some hate preacher gave him a figurative pat on the back.
And yeah, that's me, indulging in wishful thinking again. It's kind of a habit with me, ya know? 😁
Don’t kid yourselves. If the IRS were to revoke a right wing church’s tax exempt status, this SCOTUS would rule it an unconstitutional abridgment of the church’s free speech rights.
This is what you get when people get drawn into a cult that preaches that they are on a mission from god. They get politicized, energized, adrenalized, made too angry to think clearly about what they are being asked to swallow. They lose the whole concept of the common good - something right there in the preamble to The Constitution. And, there are enough of them moving on this bizarre tangent to bring down the country. They have become fanatical and they are starting to terrorize the actual majority. I don’t see a way to fix this.
You can tell that I actually love them by insisting that I never correctly call them by their preferred acronym and add nonsense afterward to further express my disdain… er love for them.
His enablers in the pews keep him funded, and are as bad as he is or they wouldn't be there. Once people convince themselves they're operating under divine sanction, the rules everyone else is expected to abide by go right out the window.
This snotty and arrogant jerk is playing with the IRS regulations, denying his anti-Semitic and anti-LGBTQ past, but also seems to be unaware that Steve Garvey, that so-called model of Republican family values, cheated on his wife, fathered kids out of wedlock, and his wife divorced him in disgust.
Besides, Garvey owes his Gold Gloves to the fact that he had no defensive range at first base. That's why he made very few errors. He just balls zip by him. I bet his pitchers were annoyed.
Follow the money. Christians never say or do anything unless there’s money coming in as a result. Find out where his money comes from and that will explain his behavior.
"This is what you get when you eject God from the courts and from the schools.”
That must be the infamous god bad aim. Pardon my France. Insurrection following an election since WW2 in my country= 0
He also called Islam “a demonic doctrine being propagated by heretics.” He said Jews in Israel could avoid the wrath of Hamas by turning to Jesus.
hibbs, consistency is not thy name.
"he hasn’t watched any adult content “since June 19, 1977.”
Following DM's example, watching cartoons from time to time is OK, but all the time ? Does someone has the number of the cops/federal agents who investigated Michael Jackson ?
"I don't hate the Jews," Jack Hibbs said. "Jesus was a jew. Sure, then the Jews turned their backs to God and killed his son. And now they run Hollywood promoting their new world wokeness. But I don't hate them. I respect them. Like Trump says, they're really good with money. And we must love them. They are important. Who else is going to get slaughtered in the desert and have their blood bring forth the second coming of Christ."

Vote for a baseball player because a football coach from Alabama was such a good idea?

What do you get when you smash a bible and a clown together in a super collider?
A Hibb's bozo.
Look, laws are like commandments and breaking a commandment is a sin and since he's been forgiven by Jesus He. Did. Not. Break. Any. Law.
Hallelujah, pass the Tylenol.

If only he were the only creature doing this. There are many denizens in that swamp who love to flaunt the IRS tax code.
