Summary
Trump accused Senate Democrats of deliberately delaying the confirmation of his nominees, claiming they are stalling āno matter how good and well qualifiedā the candidates are.
Just eight of Trumpās more than 20 nominees have been confirmed by the Senate so far, with many facing intense questioning as Democrats highlight serious concerns.
Trump argued that Democrats are obstructing out of refusal to accept their election loss.
Possibly Jared Issacman for NASA administrator. Heās an actual astronaut and pilot, and huge space enthusiast.
But all the others? Ehhh, I canāt think of one.
I personally think the fact that Elon wants Jared in that position means he abso-fucking-lutely should not be in it. Elon certainly doesnāt have NASAās best interests at heart, and I find it highly doubtful his nominee would have a differing opinion.
There is a difference between a bad idea and not qualified.
Can we suggest blocking both the not qualified, AND the bad ideas?
I mean, Issacman will probably double down on commercial space, which is good for SpaceX, Rocketlab, and Blue Origin. Possibly bad for SLS, but I think weāre all know that oneās a disaster anyway.
