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

@George-K To there defense, the newspaper is not saying “they” describe him that way, it is his friends.
I hope that articles about me, it would say that her friends say that “Jennifer is very nice. “. 555

You're right. The reporter didn't say that - he chose to quote people who say that.
That's totally different, LOL.

This is in the "News" section of The Guardian
While Mike Pompeo has remained a domestic politician throughout his tenure as secretary of state, giving the lion’s share of his interviews to conservative radio stations in the midwest, for example, Blinken is very much a born internationalist.
He went to school in Paris, where he learned to play the guitar (he played Pink Floyd’s Another Brick in the Wall at graduation) and football, and harboured dreams of becoming a film-maker. Before entering the White House under Barack Obama, he used to play in a weekly soccer game with US officials, foreign diplomats and journalists, and he has two singles – love songs titled Lip Service and Patience – uploaded on Spotify.
Rob Malley, the president of the International Crisis Group, who was at school with Blinken in France, said: “He was an American in Paris, with a sense of what it meant to be an American with US culture and values at a time when there was a lot of anti-Americanism around. But he also saw what it was to be a French person looking at America.”
All those contacts and the urbane bilingual charm will be targeted at soothing the frayed nerves of western allies, reassuring them that the US is back as a conventional team player. Where Pompeo has been abrasive, Blinken is soft-spoken with a reputation for self-deprecatory humour. Those traits will be handy in the initial effort to rebuild relationships. The foreign policy priorities in the first days of a Biden administration will be rejoining treaties and agreements that Donald Trump left.
Paris!
Guitar!
Urbane!

President-elect Joe Biden has begun to piece together his Cabinet, and the early announcements reveal an administration that prizes diversity and familiarity, but more vitally, experience over blind loyalty. Needless to say, that is very refreshing and reassuring. My blood pressure has already begun to fall.

CNN's Alisyn Camerota:
"I’m not kidding, Biden’s tone is so measured, it is so seemingly lacking in any sort of resentment or anger about the three weeks of limbo that he’s just lived in. And you know, he’s wanted this his whole life to be president. He’s tried many times to run for president. And now he can’t even celebrate. He’s handed a pandemic, an economic, devastating crisis. And yet he just seems like, I don’t know, Steady Eddie."
CNN White House correspondent Jeff Zeleny:
"The country is going to see the person who many in Washington have known for a very long time. He’s steady, he’s measured, he doesn’t always stay on script. We’ll see if he does that as president. He has a long history, we used to call them gaffes, now, in this climate, it’s something different entirely: empathy is really what shines through."

Look away by turning your head or closing your eyes, not by rolling your eyes.

How do you look away by closing your eyes?

Fiat point, revise that to say:
Look away by turning your head or not look by closing your eyes, not by following your eyes. -

Is there technically a difference between fellating and throat fucking?

Biden is basically "putting the band back together". He wont be running anything or making any decisions. The old Obama gang is back, ready to cover back up all the crime and corruption that Trump was laying bare.
You democrats can relax and get your head comfortably shoved back up your asses now. The destruction on the nation is back on schedule.
