I hope there are also speakers who have actual knowledge to share, or why bother going?

Singing “Every Knee Shall Bow, Every Tongue Confess, Donald Trump is LORD”, what else?

Though they really should be singing Glenn Frey:
“I Got Mine,
I Got Mine,
I DON’T WANT A THING TO CHANGE
NOW THAT I GOT MINE!!!!!”

Political goals have become doctrine.

One thing about having such turnover in the cabinet, he doesn’t need to get “acting” this or that confirmed. It is also easier to get rid of them. This fits his “I’m the boss and my word is not to be challenged” mentality. The same thing goes for EOs. Trump has exceeded the rate per year of any president since Reagan (Obama and GW Bush were almost the same). He seems to have been quite frustrated with how democracy works upon taking office.

One wonders where all the right-wing voices are that crucified Obama for “acting like a Monarch” with his EOs.

One of the issues with the current administration is parsing out any truth in what is said. How can Brownback’s words be taken seriously when our president acts like the dictator in question is his best buddy? One could argue (though I wouldn’t in this case) that meeting to discuss real changes is a first step. However, when it is obvious that you are being played by the guy, the charade should end. Continuing with it not only does not help those oppressed, but it shatters their remaining dignity.
