One of my all time favourite code is the following (It doesn't handle straights, ignores kickers, it's not at all how you efficiently rank hands etc etc but still!)

Trump flying around in Jeffrey Epstein's old plane is the kind of detail an editor would cut for breaking suspension of disbelief.
Wow who would have thought that electing a rapist would have complicated the release of the Epstein Files?
What accounts for the surplus of sadism in Russia, which allowed Stalin to enforce collectivization, gulags, and the great terror? Thousands upon thousands of people had to steal grain from starving families or torture confessions out of prisoners they know are innocent. "We may…
