As always, the president has sole authority to launch nuclear weapons. President Biden requested that he be given a button that he wears at all times for that. The problem is that the White House also has several Life Alert buttons to alert people when Biden&#8217;s fallen or had another old person-type calamity, and those buttons look exactly the same.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Biden&#8217;s Life Alert button is big and red and says &#8220;HELP&#8221; on it, and the nuclear launch button is big and red and says &#8220;NUKE&#8221; on it, a design decision the Biden administration is now regretting. He also has a personal Life Alert button he wears around his neck, but for convenience&#8217;s sake, he has a nuclear launch button around his neck as well, and it says &#8220;Launch Alert&#8221; on it, which officials are now admitting was a bad naming choice. And since Biden is constantly getting lost wandering around the White House looking for ice cream, falling down, and calling for help, many are wondering how this could possibly end well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s just be frank about this,\u201d said another aide gravely. \u201cOne of these days he\u2019s going to fall and can\u2019t get up and start a nuclear war, and then we\u2019re all going to fall and can\u2019t get up.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who set this up?
