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."

Nice of them to let us know they cannot support the President.

You know how some of those looney churches used to have mass weddings? Maybe Trump could rent a stadium and gather all the malcontents and elitist bureaucrats, then hold a mass firing.

He's going to get throat cancer from saying it so often.

Lol. They can still be fired. May be some noise, but President Trump’s SoS or Trump himself can do this.

Why hire 150 of the 900 back? Let them all go and try their luck in the private sector. We could hire 180 or so (20%) in the private sector to replace them all.

Way too much us vs. them in this country. If we pushed out more career bureaucrats into the private sector and hired, at least for a time, only workers from the private sector to replace them, we would get more cooperation in total.

Exxon has approx 90,000 worldwide. State has 69,000 (and could probably be cut back 10-20% easy). It will be like running a donut shop for Rex.

Everyone of them should be asked to resign, or be fired. Should be zero tolerance for government employees getting involved in politics.

The libs are busing making a list and signing it.

Trump will use that list to delist them from STATE.

I spy with my little eye a m-mass firing soon.
Good. The State Dept. is infested with rats.

GOOD!
Everyone knows the SnakeDept is one of the top priority Swamps to be Drained!
Now DJT has a list he can start with!

SUPER NICE how so many of the IslamoNazis and just plain Nazis in the SnakeDept were so considerate as to put their names on the list right now when DJT needs the info!

900 parasites more than likely. Maybe Starbucks will hire them, if they claim to be refugees from the evil Trump!

Fire them all at once or do it gradually and have them train their replacements. That’s my dissent letter to these public servants.

State is rotten to the core and it has been for decades. Drain it all.

I doubt Star*ucks would even consider hiring them.
Aside from mis-using shareholder assets for his personal political pursuits, the CEO of Star*ucks still realizes he has to run a productive business. used ex-Snake dept bureaucraps are not likely candidates for doing anything beneficial or productive

I thought most of these miscreants were going to stay on and sabotage Trump. I’m sure some are, but it’s great to see so many communists and globalists willing to leave on their own accord.

Maybe they could go work for China, ISIS, Iran, or Saudi Arabia.
Press the rest button. Auto-purge.
