UC Berkeley prof spells ‘impeach’ in resignation letter to Trump
SF Gate ^ | 8-23-17 | Jenna Lyons

Posted on 08/23/2017 1:09:22 PM PDT by afraidfortherepublic

A UC Berkeley energy professor resigned from his science envoy position with the Trump administration Wednesday, citing the president’s “hate-filled rally” in Phoenix Tuesday, his recent remarks on Charlottesville and his decision to withdraw from the Paris climate accord.

Professor Daniel M. Kammen used the first letter in each of his seven-paragraph resignation he tendered to Trump to spell out the word I-M-P-E-A-C-H.

Kammen, appointed as one of five U.S. Science Envoys by the State Department, made his resignation letter public on Wednesday. He sent out a tweet reading, “Mr. President, I am resigning as Science Envoy. Your response to Charlottesville enables racism, sexism, & harms our country and planet.”

He said the president’s remarks in Arizona Tuesday night cemented his decision to resign. At a rally in Phoenix, the president repeated his pledge to build a wall on the Mexico border and said he may terminate the North American Free Trade Agreement. Trump also hinted he would pardon Joe Arpaio, the former Arizona sheriff found guilty of defying a 2011 court order to stop traffic patrols that targeted immigrants.

Idiot. UC Berkeley was on the phone last week with my husband begging for money. His answer: NOTHING from either him, or me, until they shape up and start teaching facts to their students instead of inciting riots.

Oh ues, that’s the cool way to write a letter now. You spell out a angry word utilizing the first letter in each paragraph. All the cool kids are doing it.

His dismissal letter should have arrived well before his resignation letter.

I thought of writing Kammen (isn’t that a type of snake?!) a response but eight paragraphs is more than he is worth:

I
M
B
E
C
I
L
E

He probably needed to use ‘spell check’.

Steven Chu is the one who doesn’t own a car and thinks the rest of us should follow his example. Another idiot!

Use brief bullet points.

-Ineffective method of resigning

-Most likely you were not contributing anything of value

-Berkeley is a cesspool of leftist group think

-Equating Trump’s comments with racism is dishonest

-Cowardly choice, primarily done to virtue signal

-Ignoring the continued leftist violence is criminal

-Letters of resignation that spell words with the first letter of each paragraph are at the intellectual level of the second grade.

-Envoys to scientific panels should focus on science, not social justice

Hmmm, Kammen. Means “skull like stone” in Polish.

"A UC Berkeley energy professor resigned from his science envoy position with the Trump administration..."

So that's why he joined it in the first place. Feminists do the same with investments.
