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.

    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.
