    This little test is proof of how dangerous it is to have a president whom much of the country doesn't respect. In a real emergency, we might laugh it off the way we are now.

        Yes, but it's a good way to raise a militia at a moment's notice throughout Red America.

        I just said this same thing to my wife today. If this went off and he said we were at war with someone..not sure I would believe it until the press confirmed it.

        Man I have to say, I first discovered you from a retweet and decided to follow. Best follow in recent memory. Informative, funny, thought provoking, and true. Keep it up 💪🏼

        I can't imagine living in America but the standard of living for many people is a real emergency. The education system is a real emergency. The healthcare system is a real emergency. The need to protect women is a real emergency. Etc.

        At this point in time, based on his actions in domestic affairs as in the international arena, Trump seems to be the perfect spy agent of a foreign enemy.

        Not sure it would be any different with any other president. If Obama had sent out an alert, how many people on the paranoid right would have disregarded that?
