Daniel Kammen, a renewable energy expert appointed last year as a science envoy to the State Department, resigned Wednesday, citing President Trump's response to the violence in Charlottesville as the final straw that led to his departure.
Kind of makes you wonder, you know, what kind of President could provoke a science envoy to the State department to resign. But not far to look! As Kammen goes on:
In a resignation letter posted to Twitter, Kammen wrote that Trump's remarks about the racial violence in Virginia had attacked "core values of the United States" and that it would have "domestic and international ramifications."
Even American scientists have ethics, and will not serve violent racist regimes, like Nazi Germany. So there is that.
But the most interesting thing, is the encryption:
However, his most biting message may have come in the form of a hidden acrostic: The first letter of each paragraph spelled out I-M-P-E-A-C-H.

I've got some Midol if you need it, Runaway. Why didn't you tell me it was Shark Week for you? :) Have a nap, some chocolate, and come back and post when you're in a better, less overly-emotional frame of mind.
I am "that girl" your mother warned you about...

I think his wife finally left him and he has no other outlet than website comment sections.

LOLwat. Every day I wake up and read the news and see the stupid shit men are doing to one another and everyone else and I thank God/Goddess I don't have a Y chromosome. If I were ever going to be a guy I'd want it to be someone who made advances in medicine or clean power or agriculture, not some bitter basement-crawling incel with daddy issues.

This, Runaway, is what we call the Dunning-Kruger effect. You're not even competent to know you're incompetent. Look around you at the world we live in and consider the trajectory of history: if you are not frightened, it means you are too stupid and/or too uninformed to realize that there are things you should be frightened of. And I hope I never become even one tenth the complete asshole you are.
PS: the more you protest the worse you look. You're fooling no one...I suspect not even yourself, deep down.

Azumi Hazuki might actually be a twisted Dunning-Kruger anagram . . . .
So, you, at least, know that you are incompetent. That's good enough for me!!

...so you've been reduced to "I know you are but what am I?" Congratulations, Runaway, your daddy issues from childhood have finished regressing you to age 7. Run along if you don't want my belt across your ass too.

You don't need to be male to do those things. The only thing holding yourself back is you.

Are just as big of whores as the men are gigalos.
Just look at that Park chick in South Korea, or Indira Ghandi in India, or any number of other female fuckups in positions of power.
The point is: Power corrupts completely, regardless of race, ethics, gender or creed.
