WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Roughly 900 U.S. State Department officials signed an internal dissent memo critical of President Donald Trump's travel ban for refugees and immigrants from seven Muslim-majority countries, a source familiar with the document said on Tuesday.
A senior State Department official confirmed that the memorandum in the department's "dissent channel" had been submitted to management.
White House spokesman Sean Spicer said on Monday he was aware of the memo but warned career diplomats that they should either "get with the program or they can go."

If these clowns had an iota of decency, they would have submitted a resignation letter with their dissent. FU. Go away and die for all we care.

Damn that Trump.
In just 10 days time; he’s doubling the unemployment rates in Washington DC.
Oh well. The swamp must be drained.

No, Starbucks is only hiring refugees because citizens won’t work for slave wages.
