An idea from some other Feds is that when u reply to the stupid email about what u did, to send it w/ a read receipt both for your documentation and to muck up their email.
Tiffany, it is very difficult for me to discern the truth contained in your writing when you interject your biased (we are all biased) opinions through unnecessary and derogatory name-calling. If the purpose of your substack is for you to vent your frustrations, it is of little value to me in findings solutions to our immediate and overwhelming problems.
IF Project 2025 was a "smokescreen" and Russell Vought is a "phony," I want to know about it.
Most Christians voted for Trump and are responsible for what he is doing. Most genuine Christians do not condone lying and stealing for any reason. We were promised that Government Corruption would end and that the Constitution would be restored.
If this is not happening, I will be on the backs of my Senators and Representative to put a stop to it! If they don't, I will go myself.
There are so many lies coming from all directions, it is hard to know the truth. Just because we come from different perspectives, shouldn't mean that we can't agree on what is true.
No problem. If I don't receive any benefit, then there is no reason to support you. And I will have to defend my Country without your help. I hope you fulfill your purpose. It is sad that we can't get along: I tried.
I am supporting all those from whom I receive benefit: I am trying to understand, and build bridges and relationships. I appreciate being corrected: How else will I learn?
Okay well you “supporting” and you clutching your pearls because I am using language you don’t like is not the same thing. I don’t write substacks for you, I write them for me and for people who are genuinely interested in learning, not coming to my comments to try to defend every awful thing this administration is doing. You know what I learned a long time ago, Tim? You can’t say the right thing to the wrong person or the wrong thing to the right person. Meaning, if you refuse to actually comprehend everything I’m writing, then you’re not the right person. That’s not a me problem, that’s a you problem. I spend hours composing these posts, painstakingly finding links from credible sources to back up my words. I’ve made my case. It’s not my job to argue with you in the comments and it’s MOST DEFINITELY not my job to tailor my words to your preferences. I’m not doing this for Tim Cantrell.
trump has lied about musk running doge, which is an illegal department created without authorization of our Congress. trump has denied funds for weapons to Ukraine, which were already allotted to them by our Congress. trump has no authority to cut funding to anyone per our Constitution. musk has attended a Nazi rally and is supporting a Nazi group in Germany financially. Trumps is an atheist and has been since childhood as was his father. He stole top secret documents from the White House which is a hanging offense according to the 14th amendment of the Constitution. trump has no permission, nor does musk, to fire federal employees. Tim, have you read any part of the Constitution? trump"s goal is to break our Constitutional Democracy. He has so far, in 30 days, spent 10.6 Billion dollars at his golf courses. He is picking the tax payer's pockets, which includes you. Before you spit at Tiffany, you better read up on Democracy. Due to the firings, air traffic is a gamble and 380 forest service employees were fired in our state. If you live near trees, you better make provisions to save yourself. Apologize for your statements to this talented writer and pursuer of truth.
I could write entire books about this — how I’ve seen it manifest in almost all walks of life, including BOTH of the major political parties we have here in America. I went to the DNC this summer and if I had to listen to another middle aged white man that I met randomly on a bus or train tell me how hard it is to be elected as a white man these days, I was going to lose it. I wanted to yell at them, “oh, is it hard? Is it hard the way it has been for women and minorities and everyone else who isn’t you? Is it? GOOD. It’s supposed to be hard. You’re supposed to be excellent not mediocre! You didn’t know that? Well now you do!”
They just lack empathy about anything. Most of them don't have any idea how other people are feeling. My husband and most of his friends are good, but men I've worked for are generally just clueless. Connecting dots is too difficult for them. It's not being white that's their problem. I had the greatest congressperson in the world, Barbara Lee, and what was so great about her was her honesty and courage to do the right thing, every time. She should get the Congressional Medal.
Trump has spent $10.4 million of taxpayer (your) money playing golf (remember when he ridiculed Obama for playing golf), he has still not reimbursed St. Cloud MN for the cost of a rally held there, Musk has recently gained government contracts worth around $400 million for Tesla and $300 million for Space X. And so far most of the Inspector Generals have been fired, whose jobs are to look into any conflicts of interest. Guess the DOGE boys missed those. They must be too busy looking into everyones financial information, including everyone in America. And remember DOGE is not a legal entity. And next up are tax cuts for the BILLIONAIRES at the expense of the rest of America. Remember when trickle down was supposed to benefit everyone. And anyone can check out for themselves how much the last Trump Tax Cuts meant for the billionaires and how much it meant for the average person. It is not a pretty picture, unless you are very wealthy. And then there is this - Musk makes $8 million per day on government contracts and the average American on Social Security gets $65 per day. (Want to know how much Musk has paid in taxes each year? A little research will show you some very interesting results.) And when workers are cut that means that either there is no one to do the job they were doing or someone else must pick up the slack. Imagine yourself calling an agency that you need help from and not having anyone there to help you or the person that is there does not know what to do. An example - if you farm and need help for someone to drive your combine. You better hire someone who knows what they are doing (has been trained or is open to training) because if they do not very bad things will happen not only to the machine (which is extremely expensive) itself, but potentially to other people (farming is one of the most dangerous jobs in America) and the crops you are supposed to be combining. If you fly, you might question whether the FAA is fully staffed enough, with qualified people, to protect the safety of air travel. Check out what good leadership looks like and what are the best ways to lead others.......you will not find much about the best way being - firing people, threatening them, scaring them, ridiculing them, cutting staff to bare bones or nothing at all, spying on them, etc. What Trump and Musk are doing is NOT good leadership! They are more interested in smashing and trashing things and hurting people and agencies and working for their own benefit and not the benefit of others. There are many many resources on being a good leader. A couple examples "Leaders Eat Last: Why Some Teams Pull Together and Others Don't" by Simon Sinek (who also has one of the most watched TED Talks of all time), "It's Your Ship: Management Techniques from the Best Damn Ship in the Navy" by Captain D. Michael Abrashoff.
BTW....my experience as a contractor working in the federal government is that you have to turn in a monthly report (called MSR) highlighting your accomplishments for that month. I did this for 2 different contractors. I think if they had gone to monthly MSRs feds might have grumbled but it wouldn't have felt so nefarious. The MSRs were structured so it was very clear what they wanted.
Tiffany, I just had an epiphany and I covet your feedback. I believe it is relevant because it reveals our biases and discomfort zones!
You are screaming "CONTROL:" "DOGE's assault on the federal workforce;" Monarchy; Oligarchy; Coup; "yes men;" fuhrer; Nazis; Fascists; dungeon; "threatening to invade;" Renaming; fired; Replaced.
You warned, "Russell Vought will have almost unlimited control. . . ."
For years, I have been screaming "OUT OF CONTROL:" Unconstitutional; "Deep State;" Communist; Spending; DEBT; Unaccountability! STOP!!!
When I read Project 2025, my overall impression was, "If all you do is replace the current Administrative State with another one of your own, WE HAVE ACCOPLISHED NOTHING."
SURELY, there is "something other" than these two extremes! And I CANNOT COMPROMISE with either! What do you think?
You speak often of the destructive nature of Marxism, and I have never disagreed with you. I have disagreed that we are in danger of becoming a Marxist society. What you’re really concerned about is corruption in government seeping in through unchecked socialism. It’s obvious you’ve never considered the corruption seeping in through unchecked capitalism. Unchecked capitalism is how Enron execs cheated employees and stockholders out of their retirements. Unchecked capitalism is how hundreds of thousands of Americans lost their homes in the housing market crash of the late aughts. Unchecked capitalism is how United Health gets away with developing a system run by AI to deny cancer treatment. Unchecked capitalism continues the racial divide.
The villain in your story is not a society full of citizens who look out for each other. The villain is corruption. And since you don’t seem to have a good pulse for that, evidenced by the fact that you voted for Donald Trump, I don’t know that you will ever understand what I post here.
I chose to trust Trump, not because he is trustworthy, but because I wanted to believe that he would do what he said: Restore America. Obama said that he would "fundamentally change America." That is anathema.
Ever since I found out that the Bushes and the Clintons vacation together at Martha's Vineyard, I have not trusted "insiders." For all I know, it could all be "a big Lie."
Regardless, God's Purpose for this Nation will Stand! If you want to call that "Christian Nationalism," I really don't care. I don't know how anyone cannot see how much God HAS Blessed America. And He isn't done. I will never give up hope.
An idea from some other Feds is that when u reply to the stupid email about what u did, to send it w/ a read receipt both for your documentation and to muck up their email.
This is genius!

Hi Tim. My substack isn’t for you. Hope that helps clear things up. ✌🏼
No problem. If I don't receive any benefit, then there is no reason to support you. And I will have to defend my Country without your help. I hope you fulfill your purpose. It is sad that we can't get along: I tried.
Did you think you were going to buy my censorship with $8 a month?
I am supporting all those from whom I receive benefit: I am trying to understand, and build bridges and relationships. I appreciate being corrected: How else will I learn?

I acknowledge and appreciate your hard work and the fact that you have access to resources that I do not. YOU are one of my resources: THANK YOU!
Do you really want to be "preaching to the choir?"

My dad worked for the Mark Twain National Service.
Trump will be held accountable.
I understand that the United States is a Republic, not a Democracy.
Can you please specify why I need to apologize? If I have said anything wrong or inappropriate, I will certainly apologize.
As per Heather Cox Richardson: Saying that the United States is a Republic, not a Democracy, is like saying that I have a Golden Retriever, not a dog.
Not according to our Founding Fathers: They were scared to death of "mob rule" by the "majority." That is why there is a Senate.
Have you ever noticed that 99% of white men are completely clueless about managing staff?

Just used that bullet point list to craft a love letter report from Keashnov Donald to Elon. Website was quite easy, we’ll see how long that lasts.

To clarify—rock on resistance to implementation of Project 2025.
