John Bolton is a time bomb with a mustache and I would have included him, but he was appointed to his position, not confirmed.

I mean, can’t we have anything nice anymore?
Is space itself not even safe from their clutches? There goes looking up at the night sky and dreaming of future explorers from a post bat-shit-crazy society.

“The former Navy Reserve pilot previously served as executive director of the Air and Space Museum & Planetarium in Tulsa, Oklahoma.”
Well, at least he’s not COMPLETELY unexperienced for a NASA position…
“During his tenure, the nonprofit suffered financial losses, and an investigation by the Project On Government Oversight found that Bridenstine used the nonprofit’s resources to benefit a company he co-owned…”
Oh. =o(

FWIW, in this specific case McCain was absent from the confirmation vote due to illness. Fair point about Flake, though, who changed his vote for some reason after speaking with the majority whip.

The Trump administration has made it its explicit, stated goal to nominate people into leadership positions who can destroy, undo, and upend the existing structure of whatever they’re leading. I’m not being facetious. They’re doing this on purpose.

Yeah, but did you see that giant American flag behind him? He’s a PATRIOT! That’s all the uninformed voter needs to know.
