Trump can't help creating jobs and draining the swamp. Today 900 state department employees signed a memo protesting Trumps executive order regarding immigration. See - https://ca.news.yahoo.com/900-state-...204236825.html

"About 900 U.S. State Department officials signed an internal dissent memo protesting a travel ban by U.S. President Donald Trump on refugees and travelers from seven Muslim-majority countries, a source familiar with the document said on Tuesday, in a rebellion against the new president's policies."

These folks seem brainwashed, signing this letter is as good as submitting a letter of resignation. Hey State Department employees, you serve the Executive branch. Oppose your own job function at risk of not having continued employment.

Maybe Soros can use any young unemployed former State Department employee to hold signs or perpetrate violence.

Its good for Trump... its time to ferret out the anti-Trumpers in the government... time to get rid of them... I thought it was going to be hard to find and fire these people but apparently, they are making far easier for everyone... Thank goodness, liberals are idiots...

So, those good German government employees who initially spoke out against Hitler's policies also should have just kept quiet, because they worked for The State?

Got news for you: in this country, our government serves the people. The people are guaranteed freedom of speech. That includes government employees.

Obeying one's conscience is a higher virtue than is mindless obedience to the state, when and if the two come into conflict and reason cannot be made to prevail.

Hitler is dead, Trump is not Hitler. The path to fascism is via socialism not capitalism.

These folks are more like hard core fascists writing to complain about the American occupation after the war was over.

Maybe you missed that I am a descendent of refugees who were horribly persecuted for their religious beliefs, but who were also provided with compassionate help by those who reached these shores before them.

That was in 1700, in colonial Virginia, and my ancestors were exiled and impoverished French protestants - Huguenots - but some things never change. There were those back then who wanted to send them back to France.

Never mind that Huguenots had been imprisoned, murdered, burned at the stake, beaten to death...just as were Jews and other minorities in Hitler's Germany and the occupied countries.

So I don't yawn. I don't find it as humorous as some here evidently do. My family lived it, and survived it, with the help of other good, compassionate people who came before them.

As for the concern of the American people, I was so proud of my city last night, when hundreds of its citizens filled a large, historic local church to capacity, to learn more about the refugee crisis and how to help.

We heard from members of the clergy, representing a wide range of faiths, from our chief of police, from our elected representatives, from refugee ministries personnel, and from refugees themselves who are now well on the way to becoming patriotic and productive American citizens. Similar gatherings are being held throughout our country. This is just the start.

I don't yawn when it comes to compassion and justice and freedom, and neither did those who were there with me last night. Our voices will continue to be heard, as we speak out for innocents who are hurting, and against those who would put policies in place which add to others' pain while lessening the security and freedoms of Americans, and who would silence others from speaking out in defense of compassion, liberty, freedom, justice, and democracy itself, and in opposition to tyranny.

Black lives matter? The KKK? In addition to the two mentioned, there have been other DNC terrorist groups in the past. The violence will come from the left, it always does. '68, the Klanbake, all DNC, KKK DNC terrorist arm for over a century.
