Won't mean a thing to Trump's knuckle-dragging base, but it will hurt kids who might have otherwise experienced life-changing performances. Sad!

The remaining members of a presidential arts and humanities panel resigned on Friday in yet another sign of growing national protest of President Trump’s recent comments on the violence in Charlottesville.

“Your words and actions push us all further away from the freedoms we are guaranteed.”

“Reproach and censure in the strongest possible terms are necessary following your support of the hate groups and terrorists who killed and injured fellow Americans in Charlottesville,” the commissioners wrote in a letter sent to the White House on Friday morning. “The false equivalencies you push cannot stand. The Administration’s refusal to quickly and unequivocally condemn the cancer of hatred only further emboldens those who wish America ill. We cannot sit idly by, the way that your West Wing advisors have, without speaking out against your words and actions.”

“Supremacy, discrimination, and vitriol are not American values,” they added. “Your values are not American values. We must be better than this. We are better than this. If this is not clear to you, then we call on you to resign your office, too.”

It seems Trump's only remaining friends in Washington are his fellow Nazi-sympathizers, Steve Bannon and Stephen Miller.

Good God, has it only been 30 weeks? Just when you think he CAN'T screw up the country any worse than the previous week, he manages to lower expectations even further. This was his worst week yet. I'm not even going to hope anymore that it HAS to get better. This clown is insane.

It'll still have to get a lot worse for a lot of Republicans to bail on repugnant cretin. Look at Whell.

Finally, a single Evangelical leader steps away from the evil one. Reprehensible that they were ever allies, but then Evangelicals are mostly hypocrites anyhow.

If this exodus keeps up (let's hope so), the Trump administration will look like Trump Inc.
Hope that the GOP members of Congress all get a case of the runs standing around and do nothing about the Trump spectacle.
