Elaine Chao Out For Good!

Elaine Chao is out.

BLACK LIVES MATTER

PROTECT BLACK WOMEN! 

WEAR A DAMN MASK! SAVE A LIFE!

GOOGLE'S BLOGGER IS TRASH!

With the Blogger interface, it is getting harder to make blog posts. I am not kidding.

The way they rolled this interface out maybe the death knell for the once beloved media platform.

I am not going to lie, this is frustrating and I am going to make my postings shorter and quicker now.

We are covering the chaos at the U.S. Capitol where Trump supporters have breached the steps of the federal building. We heard that a woman was seriously injured and we got word that many of these rioters have stolen property from the offices of lawmakers. Four people were killed. The graphic image of a woman being rolled out to an ambulance was the result of the U.S. Secret Service shooting her after they gave warning to not proceed toward a protected barrier.

Another member of the Trump team resigns.

Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao is stepping down. She was one of the longest serving members of the Trump administration besides Betsy Devos and Benjamin Carson.

In the wake of the chaos at the U.S. Capitol, Chao has submitted her letter of resignation joining Mick Mulvaney and Stephanie Grisholm as members of the Trump team to leave in the wake of this Trump-inspired mob destroying the Capitol.

President Donald J. Trump had appeared at a rally on Wednesday to openly endorse a rebellion against democracy. These violent terrorist would head down Pennsylvania Avenue to the Capitol to demand Congress to not certify his successor Joseph R. Biden II.

Chao, the wife of Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), the Majority Leader of the Senate.

Trump can't be controlled.

She is the first Cabinet member to leave in the wake of this chaos. 

"It has been the honor of a lifetime to serve the U.S. Department of Transportation," she tweeted on Thursday.

In a statement to the agency she led, Chao wrote that she will resign on Monday. She as well as many Republicans were "deeply troubled" by the events at the Capitol.

She felt that Trump's refusal to condemn the actions as a major factor to her departure.

Her successor will be former South Bend mayor Pete Buttigieg.

In the closing letter, Chao stated that she was "tremendously proud of the many accomplishments we were able to achieve together for our country and I will never forget the commitment you have for this Department and the United States of America."

She said that she will aid Buttigieg in the transition.

Chao had previously served under the George W. Bush Administration as the Labor Secretary. 

Chao who was born in Taiwan is fixture of Republican politics. She is an Asian American woman who worked with Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush during her younger years.

Protesters heckled her and McConnell multiple times when it came to the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh, the impeachment and removal of Trump, the aftermath of Breonna Taylor's murder, the government shutdowns and the failure to pass survival funds during the coronavirus pandemic.

It appears that Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) have came to a conclusion. They agree that Trump is no longer capable of holding office and they are calling for Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment to take over the role until the transition is complete.

If Pence fails to do so, Pelosi is working on drafting Articles of Impeachment against Trump.

Pence and White House staffers are furious at Trump. Pence had to be secured after the mob broke through barriers. A mobster tried to break into a Secret Service bubble and got shot. She died of her injuries and the far-right wants America to know who she was.

Black Twitter ain't gonna let that happen. More on that later.

Chao and others are cowards. They won't say to the president's face it's over. They rather resign than stand up to a man who has no intentions of carrying out a peaceful transition.

A man who seriously believes he was robbed of his election victory. A man who vows to create chaos on his way out and into Biden's presidency.
