Dissent memo circulating in the State Department over Trump’s policy on refugees and immigrants
WaPo ^ | 1/30/17 | Carol Morello

Posted on 01/30/2017 11:10:46 AM PST by ColdOne

State Department diplomats are circulating a memo objecting to President Trump’s executive order last week to suspend the nation’s refugee program and deny U.S. entry to citizens of seven predominantly Muslim countries in the Middle East.

The document is destined for what’s known as the State Department’s “dissent channel,” which was set up during the Vietnam War as a way for diplomats to signal their disagreement on foreign policy decisions to senior management. The communications are typically private.

It is not known whether the memo has been submitted yet to Acting Secretary of State Thomas Shannon, a holdover from the Obama administration who is in charge of the department until a replacement is named. The Senate is expected to confirm Rex Tillerson, a former ExxonMobil executive who is designated for the job.

Sounds like the Open Door HR Policy.

Feel free to speak openly (and short-circuit your career in the process)

I had a black friend commit corporate suicide by doing what you noted above. It took 3 years before he realized what he had done to himself via HR.

Anyone that wants to
Import even more islamonazi terrorists into USA must be FIRED immediately. We voted for DJT to STOP AND REVERSE the Islamic invasion of our country ( they need to be returned to the 57 nations they’ve ALREADY conquered by this exact same mass- invasion strategy). They have plenty of Moslem- run countries they can go live in. They have zero need to be here ( they are NOT legitimate “refugees”— they’re invaders )

This is SO cool!

If a political party who we disagree with takes power in the United States in the future, we can do ANYTHING we want to "resist" their authority.

Since we don't have memos, we'll just have to use other more common implements that many of us Deplorables have readily to hand.

Which reminds me - I should go clean & oil my "memo substitutes". I do have plenty of "memos" to put in the dispenser, of course... 😀

It’s nice that the delicate snowflakes in State can vent their feelings. Do we have a safe room for them too, one with Play-Doh and puppies to soothe them?

Well, another case where it’s hard to blame Trump for confusion when the democrats refuse to allow votes on his cabinet members.

Oh, just wait. Just wait til Tillerson gets confirmed.

They are making his job much easier. He’ll still have to identify all the moles.

Sounds like treasonous act to me.

Treason: The betrayal of one’s own country by waging war against it or by consciously or purposely acting to aid its enemies. The latter part of this definition has applied to way too many American citizens including those in leadership over the years. Our nation is the weaker because of so many aiding and abetting the enemy.
