Humorous (depending on your point of view) video presentation of procedures required to launch a nuclear strike by the president.

Biscuit? Yellowcake Uranium. Troll? I was trolled by a comment about the NBC online poll. Trump? Trump is the best way to avoid nuclear war.
Here is something that has fallen into the Memory Hole:
President Bill Clinton Lost Nuclear Codes While In Office
"When you're President of the United States, you can lose a vote, you can lose popular support, and you can lose a round of golf. But you're never, ever supposed to lose the biscuit.
That's what they call the card the president is meant to keep close at hand, bearing the codes that he has to have in order to launch a nuclear attack. And for several months during the Clinton administration, a former top military officer says they lost the biscuit.
Gen. Hugh Shelton, who served under Clinton as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, tells the story in his just-published memoir, "Without Hesitation: The Odyssey of an American Warrior."
"At one point during the Clinton administration," Shelton writes, "the codes were actually missing for months. [...] That's a big deal -- a gargantuan deal."
Similar Story Told By Air Force Man
Shelton claims the story has never been released before, but Ret. Air Force Lt. Col Robert Patterson told a very similar account in his own book, published seven years ago.
Patterson was one of the men who carried the football, and he says it was literally the morning after the Monica Lewinsky scandal broke that he made a routine request of the president to present the card so that he could swap it out for an updated version.
"He thought he just placed them upstairs," Patterson recalled. "We called upstairs, we started a search around the White House for the codes, and he finally confessed that he in fact misplaced them. He couldn't recall when he had last seen them."
In Patterson's telling of the story, the President lost the biscuit in 1998, but according to Shelton, the card went missing in 2000.
President Sends the 'Biscuit' to the Cleaners?
If the facts seem murky, that's not unusual when national security matters are involved. Consider the old story that Jimmy Carter left his biscuit in a suit that got sent to the dry cleaners. Today, no one will confirm the story, but no one will deny it either.
Ummm... the other day I had a ricochet biscuit. A ricochet biscuit is the kind of a biscuit that’s supposed to bounce back off the wall into your mouth. If it don’t bounce back... you go hungry!
Bow bow bow...
I wish I could say I’m surprised at the recklessness of those 2 fools, but I’m not.
The thing that does surprise me is that “the biscuit” was missing for so long without being noticed.
Couldn’t get it to play. Server might be overwhelmed.
Hope they put it on youtube.
Ha! I wonder how many others here remember that one?
I had it on .......... cassette ............ yikes
The link at the top of the post worked for me.
Yes ... the link takes you to the page. The video wouldn’t roll.
“Yes ... the link takes you to the page. The video wouldn’t roll.”
Sorry. Both the link to the page and the videos work for me, so I don’t know what to say other than “thanks for trying.”
Hopefully it will get to YT.
Eh... Whaddyawantfornuthin? Rubber Biscuit???
Boooooorrring!
