Obama is pissed he didnt think of this so he could blast out his propaganda.

Funny if he starts telling the country good morning, and God Bless 'Merika!

I was driving when it came through. It was amusing to see all the traffic slow down.


I heard it was also on tv. Even my mother got one on her ancient flip phone, about an hour after everyone else. But I have two friends who didn't get the alert at all. I guess they'll die in the apocalypse.

Can you imagine being in that situation? it's just another day then all of a sudden you get an "official" message telling you that you are about to get some bombs dropped on you.


I can - and can honestly say I'd think it's far more likely to be a false alarm than the real deal.

So youre standing in your kitchen getting some water, when your phone alerts
quote:

We have verified reports that multiple water systems have been compromised by terrorists. Take immediate precautions! - Trump

You would rather wait until you've used that water, before you looked on TD to see whats up, because you didn't want to be bothered?

Pretty sad that in such a technology and social media infused world that millions of people had no freaking clue what was going on.
It was all over the news, social media, and internet.

I posted this on the Poli Board, but I hope he uses it as his own personal Twitter.

Imagine what he said when he found out about this alert system. “You mean to tell me, that I have the capability of reaching every American??”

I’m not kidding, I wanna receive a text from him every single day making fun of somebody or some country.

The left wing melt would be fricking awesome. They’d get rid of their phones and get off social media. It’d be great.

how am I going to benefit from receiving a text?


the Propagandist in chief will tell you what to think, how to feel.


Fwiw

Staff write the informative text. The issue may not be known previously.
Cat out of the bag.
