***the State Department is the one that has to be drained the most comprehensively from the top down***

I hope the Sec State uses John Bolton to help open the drain... No one knows the swamp stink holes better than Bolton. I had sort of thought Trump might appoint Bolton to the Sec State office - but Bolton is still useful.

The complaining state department employees should be polishing up their resumes. Two words: “You’re fired.”

Does State Department have a combat arm? such as their 9/11 Benghazi team?

“Apple Polishing” and “Wool Gathering” for 20 years doesn’t look good on a resume................

I have no problem with a formal channel for subordinate employees to express dissent with a superior.

Each of these 900 people should now be officially asked, by their department head, whether they would have any problem following their boss's orders (the one with whose policy they dissent).

Anyone who answers "Yes" (they'd have a problem doing their job) should be immediately terminated (or given the option of resigning), and anyone who said "No" (they disagree but will do as they are directed) might be retained, subject, of course, to the pleasure of the President.

By the way, barring a formal labor contract which specifies otherwise, "serving at the pleasure" of one's boss should be standard practice throughout the country.

Essentially, any employer has the right to dismiss any employee for any lawful reason, or for no reason. (The semantic distinctions between those two cases should offer ample flexibility for any employer to have their rights fully protected).

Yes, the State Department DOES have a combat arm always at the ready, but it's not the Benghazi team....it's called the mainstream media team !

Yep, I'm still hoping that the President will find an important spot for both John Bolton and Sheriff Clarke of Milwaukee.

Of COURSE, you would do this with a strategy in place. Was I wrong to assume this would be a part of such a move?

The U.S. State Department has historically been way overly pro-Arab. So it’s no surprise that they would sign something like this. Time to boot this trash from their jobs and get in some fresh uncontaminated blood in there.

Okay, here is what I said:

A simplified version of the message regarding “extreme vetting”:

“It’s not a travel ban.

It’s a PAUSE of migration from 7 specific nations (originally selected by President OBAMA), and will last for a current total of 90 days (unless extended for any reason).

During this time period, selected people will be writing suggestions regarding what “extreme vetting” they believe will be necessary for us to use in order to protect the Citizens from TERRORISTS.

CAN WE PLEASE GET THIS RIGHT PEOPLE.”

“I pray President Trump will stick the pipe into State’s rear door and begin the draining forthwith and energetically.”

Hear ye, hear ye, exactly right.
