True, but can you imagine the look on the president's face after he hacked someone's chest open to find out that was the code?

It was one of the greatest hacking ever done by a US President. Sad that it had to come to this but thats on the Democrats. I bet Biden would be to weak to do it. But you can't be weak when it comes to defending the nation. America First!
Yep... I can imagine the face...

You seem to be confusing stupidity with strength. Also confusing violence with strength. All these things are unrelated, except I guess the more stupid one is, the more one needs strength to exert violence...

I meant this as a parody but that you take this at face value is just the point I wanted to make.

Or maybe you’ve got so much strength it’s just “easier” - thought can be expensive...

This feels like a Poe’s law moment.

I didn't knew Poe's law.
Yes this is a parody and I guess you all know the president I am talking about. This ideas are created with sensible persons in mind. But not all politicians are sensible people

That's the problem with Poe's law, you can never be sure.

That's not a problem, that _is_ Poe's Law. That you can't be sure.

That was an apparently-unsuccessful reference to this: https://dilbert.com/strip/2001-10-25
In any case, descriptive though it is I would argue that there can be a problem associated with Poe's law. Not in the same sense as prescriptions (e.g. Postel's maxim, "be liberal in what you accept and conservative in what you send"), where you could argue whether or not it's a good principle in general or in specific cases. But from my standpoint as someone using sarcasm to point out the absurdity of something, someone taking me at face value is a problem.
