WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Ambassador to Panama John Feeley, a career diplomat and former Marine Corps helicopter pilot, has resigned, telling the State Department he no longer feels able to serve President Donald Trump.
“As a junior foreign service officer, I signed an oath to serve faithfully the president and his administration in an apolitical fashion, even when I might not agree with certain policies. My instructors made clear that if I believed I could not do that, I would be honor bound to resign. That time has come,” Feeley said, according to an excerpt of his resignation letter read to Reuters.

Nope. Snowflakes is the better term. Hypocrites would also apply.

Those who object to overt racism from your Dear Leader are snowflakes, eh? If that's what you believe, you're as vile as disgusting as Lying Donnie Dotard is.

First question is, who created these shitholes?
Second question is, were the European settlers white?
Yes, race is the reason they are shitholes and let's blame the Spanish, French, British, Dutch; pretty much all of white Europe.
Buffalo Soldier by Bob Marley is a great song.

Or, maybe its the left - or folks like you - who immediately spin racism into a perfectly legitimate question to gain perceived political leverage. Certainly the language used could have been better, but the idea of an immigration system based on merit is employed by other countries without casting those systems as racist.

I'm laughing that those like you who would defend failed immigration policies with charges of racism.

So, Trump and his comments weren't racist? Birtherism, Mexicans are murderers and rapists, Judge Curiel, equivocating on Charlottesville Nazis, and not renting to black families also aren't racist? Who knew?
As for failed immigration policies, it is the Teabaggers and FreeDumb Caucus who have prevented previous efforts at immigration reform and blew up the most recent effort, notwithstanding Trump's "shithole" comment.

Whell, say we have immigrants like myself come to the US, get a great tax payer funded education and then contribute to the American society by starting and owning companies and employing people, why is that a failed immigration policy?
I am not unique in this, a large number of small businesses in Silicon Valley are started and owned by immigrants. Of course, not all parts of the country are as immigrant friendly as CA, OR or WA.
