The truth (that Biden is feeble and dying) is always accompanied by a bodyguard of lies (his White House protectors and puppeteers).

Via Twitchy, this report from Axios, aka Politico for Kidz:

President Biden has introduced a change to his White House departure and return routine: Instead of walking across the South Lawn to and from Marine One by himself, he's now often surrounded by aides.

Why it matters: With aides usually walking between Biden and the press' camera position outside the White House, the visual effect is to draw less attention to the 81-year-old's halting and stiff gait, Axios' Hans Nichols and Alex Thompson report.

Some Biden advisers have told Axios they're concerned that videos of Biden walking and shuffling alone -- especially across the grass -- have highlighted his age.

Weeks ago, the president told aides that he'd prefer a less formal approach, a White House official told Axios. He suggested that they walk with him.

White House staffers and reporters alike noticed the sudden change in Biden's walk routine beginning in mid-April, after more than three years in which he'd typically walked solo.

I completely missed this. The NY Post has been all over it:

Why It Matters: Because it's going to be hilarious when Biden falls again.

Surrounding him with subordinates is also meant to subliminally communicate that he's a big important guy who's totally in charge (of these eight people acting as human shields). Whether crap like that works, I don't know.

It probably does work. Because people are f*cking stupid.
