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

President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris on Sunday announced an all-female White House senior communications team, including former Obama White House communications director Jen Psaki as press secretary.
"I am proud to announce today the first senior White House communications team comprised entirely of women. These qualified, experienced communicators bring diverse perspectives to their work and a shared commitment to building this country back better," Biden said in a statement.
And even better, "women of color!"
These seven women, several of whom are women of color, will occupy some of the most visible roles in the administration.
Plenty of hair to sniff! Well done, Joe!

Women have been Trump's best press secretaries. I particularly like McEnany. I wish he had her in the earlier days.
It’s difficult to believe that Washington Post and NPR reporters on the White House beat are unaware of the fact that women lead the Trump communications team.
Kayleigh McEnany is the current press secretary for President Trump, the third woman in a row to hold that role for the current president. She is also the third mother in a row to hold that role.
Communications Director Alyssa Farah is a woman who has served in communications roles with the Trump administration for more than three years.
The vice president’s communications director is Katie Miller. She is a woman.
The first lady’s spokesperson is Stephanie Grisham. She is a woman who previously served as President Trump’s press secretary. And Karen Pence’s director of communications is Kara Brooks, also a woman.
Anyone with passing familiarity with the Trump administration’s communications team knows that, in the Post’s phrasing, all of the top aides tasked with speaking on behalf of an administration and shaping its message are female. As Ben Williamson, a deputy advisor to the president, joked:
Much more at the link. But that was different because shut up.

By the way I'm turned off by the noise around 'all female comms team' or even pretending that's an ethical goal.
But why would Team Trump lie about something that's so easy to fact check? It's pathological.
-
What's pathological is calling the man who ended ISIS, got us out of wars, changed the north Korean problem for the better, started a workable path to peace in the middle East, created more opportunities for black businesses, increased their employment rate, etc "dangerous Orange man bad" and then replacing him with a senile old segregationist who hasn't been on the right side of history or accomplished one single thing in nearly half a century, and spending 4 years attacking and lying like dogs and now saying we need to unite....
That's pathological.

, changed the north Korean problem for the better,
Just curious, I follow DPRK pretty closely.
In your opinion, What has changed for the better?
I guess a better question would be - what has changed?
To me, things are pretty much the same. DPRK is still continuing with its nuclear program, etc
(BTW, even saying the above, I agreed with President Trump and his attempts to try and engage Premier Kim)

Within two hours, there was a statement from Dr. Kevin O’Connor noting that Biden’s foot had been X-rayed and it appeared as though he had a sprain. A CT scan was going to be conducted just to confirm the diagnosis, however.
Then, 90 minutes after that, came this, again from O’Connor…
The point is this: Transparency in matters of health and, well, everything else, is fundamental to a functioning democracy. And we have had the opposite of that for these last four years.

Did it ever come out what was behind Trump's unexplained visit to Walter Reed a year ago?
