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.

Yep, you got that right. So, let's track down all of those leftists bastards who were protesting the protestors, and kill them, then bomb their villages.
I'm going to bookmark this one for the next time you claim to support free-speech.

Sufficient numbers of them were assaulting the Nazis that the Nazis were justified in concluding that they were under assault.
Have YOU ever faced a hostile crowd? Let me try to paint you a picture. There is "the crowd", there aren't "people". It's "the crowd", or "the mob". In my case, the crowd shouted and screamed in a language that I didn't understand. Few English words were spoken, or shouted, and they were all akin to "Yankee go home!" You face that beast, or you run from that beast - you don't reason with it. If you are hit with one rock, you don't search for "a person" to react to. You react to the beast.
If you have never been in some similar situation, then I suggest that you aren't qualified to judge the reaction of the guy who drove his car into the crowd.
I strongly suspect that those people who are members here, who are most qualified to judge this guy, are probably black people. And, lily-white liberals with a political agenda are among the least qualified.
