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.

    So, uhhh, some guys post some shit on a forum, and because you happen to like and/or agree with those guys, they become authoritative. Got it.

    Oh. My. God.

    The irony is so thick you can cut it with a knife!

    Well, first, cutting iron with a knife is a good way to ruin said knife.

    Second, you would need some iron-y to cut with your knife. Has Runaway ever set himself up as an authority? Has anyone on Soylent ever cited Runaway as an authority? I don't think so. I'm still the asocial asshole who loves to bell the cat, or whatever. The leftist crowd here loves to crow about how superior they are, and I love baiting them. I offer citations from time to time, but it's fun just to trigger all those snowflakes. Hey, tell me youre trigger word, so I can use it in a few posts.

    Oh, never mind. Seeing that you've made this silly post, I suppose that "silly" might trigger you.
