This Trump Supporter Forced To Resign His Job From Federal Government Also Lost His Wife To Cancer...No Sympathy At All From Trump's Government

[Missouri_Mike]

That’s far

It is but if he lived there when he applied he was prepared to make the drive right?

 

[krichton]

Brandon would vote for Trump again if he could.

 

[Missouri_Mike]

Yeah, forced.....because Trump and you MAGA Nazis have no sympathy for people who are suffering....even your own ******* voters.

When the hell did a government job become charity? Like you can’t check your emails, you don’t come into the office and still somehow you think they can just keep those jobs?

 

[gtopa1]

This is sad to read. This guy used to work for the Bureau Of Land Management and he voted for Trump, believing Trump would make his life better.....and actually Trump's DOGE soulless government cost-cutting and cruelty has made his life far worse.

He lost his wife to cancer at about the same time he was being forced to resign from his Federal job. He thought he could get a grace period from DOGE and the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), but no such luck.

When it was all said and done, this guy finally was able to get 4 weeks of paid leave before being kicked out the door. He wasn't even allowed to use his government health insurance to pay for his wife's cremation, because he was no longer employed at the time.

This is "Making America Great Again".

From the Washington Post. --

When the government’s resignation offer arrived, Edward Brandon Beckham had no way of knowing.

He was on leave caring for Mikel, his wife of 21 years, who was dying of colon cancer. Under the terms of Brandon’s absence from the federal Bureau of Land Management, he wasn’t expected to check his work email.

So Brandon, who goes by his middle name, had to learn from the news that the Trump administration was offering to let federal workers like him resign and get paid through September. In mid-April, he decided to accept.

Now, staring at his computer, Brandon, 45, read that he was too late. The offer had closed three days before.

Brandon looked at Mikel, across the living room in her hospital bed. She was asleep. Surely, he told himself, the new government run by President Donald Trump — the man Brandon voted for — wouldn’t penalize him for missing a message. He composed an email to his bosses just after 5 p.m.

“As my wife is continuing in Hospice and I am her continuing caretaker, at this time, I am formally requesting that I be placed on Administrative Leave until a deferred resignation date of Sept. 30, 2025,” Brandon wrote. “Considering my circumstances, I respectfully request that I be allowed to participate.”

That spring, Brandon was among hundreds of thousands of federal workers weighing whether to abandon public service. Trump had taken office vowing to slash the federal bureaucracy, then entrusted the task to billionaire Elon Musk and a newly created cost-cutting team called the Department of Government Efficiency. In a matter of months, Musk and his U.S. DOGE Service wiped out hundreds of thousands of jobs, billions of dollars in spending and the job security that once distinguished government work.

Of America’s 2.4 million federal workers, nearly 4 in 10 registered to vote had, like Brandon, cast ballots for Trump, according to a Washington Post-Ipsos poll. Brandon liked Trump’s vision for the country, which he thought reflected his own conservative values, and believed the president had a good shot at ending the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

But as the days passed, Brandon was becoming convinced that the Trump administration’s treatment of government employees — large-scale firings, emails he saw as harassing, and strict return-to-office mandates — was wrongheaded and cruel. If he was unable to resign, Brandon would be required to report to a federal building in Las Vegas more than 70 miles away. Round-trip, it would cost him three hours a day with his three children, for whom he would soon be the only parent and sole provider.

Looks like the story changed: WaPo lying much?

Washington Post​

Yesterday at 10:00 AM ·

Brandon Beckham, a federal worker, tried to resign multiple times while caring for his dying wife. His resignation was repeatedly denied by the Trump administration while his family faced financial strain.
Would he blame the president he voted for?

[gtopa1]

He was being forced to resign in September, imbecile......like hundreds of thousands of other Federal employees. He was begging to be able to stay with the Federal government until September and Trump's government would not let him.

You're wrong and you're stupid.

You're a LIAR, liar!!!

Caught out!!!

Greg

 

[jc456]

Yeah, forced.....because Trump and you MAGA Nazis have no sympathy for people who are suffering....even your own ******* voters.

If he worked for the government, then it is his responsibility to read work emails and respond accordingly. Did he set up his work email with an out of office response so people knew what he was doing? How would you fking know?

yeah, all they need to do is show the screenshot of the emails he sent on the dates and that they were received and then ignored. It's simple, there are traces in email to show the steps both ways.

But I thought the OP stated he was unaware. This contradicts the OP. oops.

When push comes to shove, Trump isn’t helping anyone except maybe himself

 

[Moonglow]

Trump kicks puppies and drowns kittens.

And eats them while alive.

 

[CowboyTed]

Being a MAGA asshole and "owning the libs" is all fun and games.....until something called LIFE happens to you.

Then it's not so much fun being a MAGA asshole anymore.

Normally a MAGA would rejoice in someone getting fucked over, the crueler you are the more they think they are winning...

This unlucky guy voted for Trump thinking he was insulated from this cruelty, look at all the Trump cronies that get off with stuff... He probably thought if voted for Trump, Trump would look after him and a Liberal/Democrat/RINO gets fucked.

They define Liberal/Democrat/RINO as any one who is not MAGA.. It troublesome for MAGA, so they have shortened that to 'Libs'.

Now he is getting a tough lesson... This is what they are like...

MAGA is embodiment of cruelty and all you have to look at is Stephen Millar and his rise in MAGA world...
He is protected by a President who appoints him and hthen runs defence, the RW Media never question him on his actions... Miller views and actions are deeply unpopular with the American people at large. He is riding on Trump's coat tails...

Lefties kill babies

Babies are born...

Can you show us evidence of 'Lefties' killing babies..

So are you trying to say:

Lefties kill Fetuses?

 

[CowboyTed]

It is the corruption. It is the life happens to you..over and over and over and over. You Progs do not want to pay the freight. You want others to do it. Medical is serious. How much do we deserve as individuals? Medicare and Medicaid combined are two trillion dollars a year. Imagine the corruption in that alone.

Prove the corruption and compare to any large organisation...

You are willing to kill people on the propaganda of corruption... You are easy meat for the MAGA, you won't leave the tribe, loyalty over decency...

 

[ColonelAngus]

Trump kicks puppies and drowns kittens.

Noem does it for him.

I can still see my censored post. My post was not off topic. I was lampooning the lefties who take the most mundane of events and amplify it to claim how evil Trump is.
