Summary
Trump accused Senate Democrats of deliberately delaying the confirmation of his nominees, claiming they are stalling “no matter how good and well qualified” the candidates are.
Just eight of Trump’s 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.
Which one was good and well qualified?
I haven’t seen one that meets that threshold yet

I personally think the fact that Elon wants Jared in that position means he abso-fucking-lutely should not be in it. Elon certainly doesn’t have NASA’s 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 haven’t even seen one that is emotionally balanced and competent.
I’ll make it easier.
Which one was good or qualified?
Marco Rubio has the traditional qualifications for SoS. Doug Burgum for interior was a governor, maybe lacking specific history/preservation credentials, but not awful. Pam Bondi was a state attorney general. Doug Collins served in the military and as a congressman, so probably qualified for veterans affairs.
There’s a couple that are qualified in that they did the same or similar job for Trump last Time. Russell Vought and John Ratcliffe.
That’s the best I could find from a qualifications perspective. The other picks are pretty bad
