@taiwan_girl I believe it was in McCullough's biography of Truman in which the move-in/move-out scenario was described.
It's remarkable that everything happens so quickly.

My story was about a Taiwan minister so maybe that is one thing that governments all over the world do well. 555

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

No gaffes! Not even anything about oh, you know, that guy. He runs the place!

Hard to gaffe, when you aren't expected to think.

NBC, already lowering expectations:
Biden's first news conference offers opportunity — and risk
The president's audience is the American public, which will get to see how he handles scrutiny.
The big risk for Biden is that he could inadvertently knock his hyper-disciplined White House messaging machine off-kilter. But for a president who promised transparency, honesty and competence in government, an exchange with a full spectrum of television and print media offers the opportunity to draw a contrast with the frequent, freewheeling and often full-of-falsehoods interactions President Donald Trump had with reporters.
(gotta get that shot about Trump in, don't they, LOL)
His main audience is the public — White House aides will surely clip his highlights and distribute them on social media — but it will be the first time since he took office that Americans will see him tested by media intermediaries. In that way, it is Biden's most important shot to demonstrate that he will deal with scrutiny in a manner different from his predecessor's and with more honest openness.

I'd love to see Biden do a free-wheeling, off-the-cuff, sixty minute presser like Trump did on multiple occasions.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.
