Inside Biden’s Protective White House
New York Times via Yahoo ^ | February 10th, 2024 | Katie Rogers and Lisa Lerer

WASHINGTON — Aides have President Joe Biden take the shorter stairs to board Air Force One. When it comes to news conferences, they yell loudly — and quickly — to end the questions, sometimes stealing a classic awards show tactic and playing loud music to signal the conclusion of the event. And forget about regular interviews with major news publications, including a traditional presidential sit-down on Super Bowl Sunday.

Over the years, some of Biden’s key aides have gone from letting “Joe be Joe” to wrapping a presidential cocoon around him that is intended to shield him from verbal slips and physical stumbles.

All presidents are shielded by the strictures of the office, yet for Biden, who at 81 is the oldest person in history to hold the job, the decision is not only situational but strategic, according to several people who are familiar with the dynamic. The cloistered nature of his White House reflects a concern among some of his top aides that Biden, who has always been prone to gaffes, risks making a mistake.

Those risks were revealed in striking ways during the events that unfolded this past week.

After a special counsel’s report on Biden’s handling of classified documents was published Thursday, the president was furious with how he was portrayed, viewing the report as a partisan and personal attack that included one of the most gutting experiences of his life — his son Beau’s death.

The New York Times is the designated assassin.

And Biden is now dead meat hanging.

The DNCCP has put out the word to their criminal media mouthpieces that Joe has gotta’ go.

He’s toast.

He died in the battle of Gettysburg didn't he?

They attacked us for calling his cognitive abilities in question prior to the election. So let him finish out his term, and hang any problems from doing so on those who insisted he was fine.

No, I think it was Agincourt, on St. Crispin’s day!

I think it’s gonna be harder to dislodge Jil - oops, sorry, Joe than most folks imagine. The first step will be to find a candidate with Biden’s malleable Play-dough mental state — and Hussein O’Burka will have to sign off on his replacement before the extraction can begin. Neither of those is likely.

A simple assassination rigged to look “natural” sounds like a clever solution but it’ll be too obvious, and send the ‘rats into a nasty hot civil war.

RatLand is holding a conundrum in their dirty little paws!

Biden is gone.
The NYT has now thrown him under the bus.
Feels like the Clinton’s are behind this.

Oh, so now they’ve noticed that he’s a brain-dead mumbling idiot. Congratulations New York Times! It only took you fifty years to find out.

It’s not Biden’s age by itself that is the problem. Plenty of very old people are mentally sharp. With Biden, it’s lack of mental acuity combined with life-long bad character.

Biden was a lying idiot to begin with. Stood 76/85 in his class at a mediocre law school, convinced his union buds who controlled newspaper distribution in Delaware to stop delivery of an issue the day before his first Senate election which had a front page article on his corruption, slandered the truck driver as drunk who his first wife pulled out in front of, and constantly touts “ma son Beau” who died a civilian at 47 as Alexander the Great. A first class, low class liar who would embarrass Baron Munchausen.

“I’m gonna tell you, folks, I think we’re seeing enough information on the Bidens now to safely say that Biden will serve at the pleasure of Barack Obama.

If Obama gives the green light to Democrats to take Biden out, there will be ample evidence that Biden has lied about his knowledge his family was selling his name and office with his permission, and if that’s in fact the case, then there’s likely unreported money that will be found. The fake news media will temporarily become hard news media if the decision is made that Biden has to step down. Until that time, they will be covering for Biden, they’ll be making excuses for Biden, they’ll be ignoring all the negatives. You wait and see.”

Aides have President Joe Biden take the shorter stairs to board Air Force One.

And the Presidential short bus for ice cream runs.

Nope. Don’t get your hopes up. Biden is not going anywhere. This blows over in 2 weeks. This is the NYT’s attempt to remain credible. They are just (temporarily) reporting the obvious.

Sadly, yes. Beau and Hillary were pinned down by a sniper - Biden didn’t make it .. .
