Any guesses on the cabinet?

Wow. Janet Yellen at Treasury.
What do you think about this? She seems well qualified.
USA Today: "Yellen became the first female chair of the Federal Reserve System in February 2014 during the Obama administration, after serving more than three years as vice governor. She previously served as head of the Council of Economic Advisers to President Bill Clinton."

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

They’re not calling him that, are they?
My bad. Yes, Bloomberg is referring to him as the "Climate Czar."
Former Secretary of State John Kerry will be named as special presidential envoy for climate by President-elect Joe Biden, according to his transition team, in a sign Biden plans to fulfill promises to elevate the issue of global warming to the highest levels in his White House.
Having a so-called climate czar could help coordinate a whole-of-government approach to confronting global warming, which Biden has referred to as an “existential threat.”

Good one.
I also wonder what he means by his icon image.

What's this "czar" business about? Is there some constitutional amendment that defines the role of "czar"?
Basically, if he doesn't perform well, he and all his immediate family will be taken to a log cabin out in the woods and summarily shot.
It's harsh, but fair.

<---- searching in vain for headline that says 'Blinken Gets Nod from Biden'.
Here's a bit of profile. Embarrassingly biased, but anyway. One observer at State describes him as "calm, non-political, experienced approach to everything". https://lite.cnn.com/en/article/h_405a68671d1c5a32f1afda120a0abde8
I'm kind of excited about his credentials.

First time, for that role, I can think of that it wasn’t someone I had heard of before. That’s not a good or bad thing just an observation.

NatSec Advisor nominee sent emails to Clinton's unsecured server.
Biden’s likely choice for national security adviser sent more than 200 classified emails found on Hillary Clinton’s private email network, and touted a now-debunked allegation before the 2016 election which fueled the conspiracy theory that Donald Trump was in cahoots with Russian leaders.
Biden will select Jake Sullivan to serve in the White House role, The New York Times and Bloomberg reported.
Sullivan, 43, was one of Clinton’s top policy advisers when she served as secretary of state from 2009 through 2013. After Clinton left Foggy Bottom, Sullivan served as national security adviser to then-Vice President Joe Biden. He was a senior foreign policy adviser to both the Clinton and Biden campaigns.
Sullivan was a key figure in the saga surrounding Clinton’s use of a private email network for government business. Clinton exclusively used the private server, eschewing guidance from the State Department to use government networks.

I think his cabinet will likely be full of Prevagen, Galantamine, and little blue pills.
Oh, you meant a different cabinet...

There's not going to be a Biden cabinet.....
Larry, if you end up in the Philippines, maybe you can move into Hiroo Onoda's old hut.

I dunno much about Blinken - but he had a harrowing story about his stepdad.
As a kid he was in a school of 900 students. They all got marched away by Nazis one day.
He broke free of the March and ran into a forest. He heard a tank, it was American. He was the only kid out of those 900 to survive.
Now that’s some shit.
