Biden to receive first daily presidential briefing on Monday

[DonViejo]

BY JULIA MANCHESTER - 11/25/20 11:21 AM EST

Joe Biden is set to receive his first presidential daily briefing (PDB) as president-elect on Monday, according to his transition team.

Biden transition spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters the news during a call on Wednesday after a spokesperson for the Office of Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) announced on Tuesday that the White House had granted the ODNI permission to give Biden the PBD as apart of the transition process.

The document is a written summary of high-level intelligence that the president receives on a daily basis.

While President Trump has yet to concede and continues to challenge the results of this month's election in court, his approval was necessary in order for Biden to receive the daily report.

1. "First, Mr. President, we all just want to say we think you are the greatest, most brilliant,

ingenious, bigly, smart, handsome"...'Hey! Wait! I think this was meant for my predecessor! Can I get a real Presidential Daily Briefing up in here?'...

2. I hope not the two pager that tRump gets?

Lots of pictures and no mentions of Russia.

I hope he gets the proper brief. If he does get the full brief, I wonder if President Elect Biden's full brief will make tRump jealous. He is that petty.

3. Wonderful! Welcome back to the smart, normal,

decent people. We’ve missed you!

4. That's ridiculous. They are made up each day, right? Do they need that much time to rewrite them?

Biden should have had them several days ago. Maybe they are coloring books and they have to actually add in words and headlines...cartoons?

If someone had told me 20 years ago that our government would be so messed up, I would have called them liars...and even then, we had our problems. But this administration is beyond description.

5. I'm sure whoever writes them will be happy to know it will be read for

The first time in four years.

6. Since it's probably a copy of the same briefing Trump gets...

...I'm wondering if it will still be skewed and sanitize" to avoid hurting Trump's delicate feelings, or if the authors of the briefing will start being more direct and thorough.
