Ignore this story entirely and focus on the substantive governance events this week: track the SNAP conditions court case, monitor Cleveland Clinic DOJ investigation details, and watch personnel movements in AI/national security roles.
This scores zero on constitutional damage—Biden is a private citizen with no governance role, no mechanism exists, and no institutional levers are involved. However, it scores extremely high (83) on distraction: maximum meme-ability and media friendliness (health scare of former president), dropped during a week with significant governance actions (SNAP judicial halt, DOJ healthcare investigations, institutional personnel changes), and creates massive media volume with zero policy substance. The intentionality score is high (11/15) given timing overlap with List A events and pattern-match to classic distraction tactics.
