By Bill Palmer | February 16, 2017 | 0
This week began with the resignation of Donald Trumps National Security Adviser Michael Flynn amid the Russia scandal, and earlier today things got far more chaotic when six other members of Trumps staff were escorted out of the White House after being flagged by the FBI. And now things have taken yet another surreal turn, as ten members of a Presidents Advisory Commission have all resigned today.
Ten members of the Presidents Advisory Commission on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders all resigned in unison today, in protest of Donald Trumps treatment of minorities. This means two thirds of the commission is now vacant, after stating that they could no longer remain due to Trumps portrayal of immigrants, refugees, people of color and people of various faiths as untrustworthy, threatening, and a drain on our nation. Among those who resigned were the commissions chair and vice chair.

This was totally lost in the Festivus presser yesterday. And 6 staffers were escorted out of the WH by security for failing their security background checks? How often does THAT happen? I've never heard of that happening--ever. Like I said, I expected a clusterfuck of epic proportions, but I was wrong. This is a clusterfuck of Biblical proportions. Congress had better stop dicking around and invoke the 25th Amendment--45* is an existential threat to the planet.

It's hard to believe this is really happening - you couldn't sell it as a movie script.
