        “There's always some son-of-a-bitch who doesn't get the word,” John F. Kennedy during the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962 after a Spy Plane pilot wandered into Soviet Airspace.

        It is terrifying - for anyone.. A friend asked me to look up Hawaii Missile here; saw parents trying to put their children into storm drains in the streets..panic at a University..kids running.. that should NOT happen..& the WH claiming "just a drill". ?? 😕

        Trump after a night of cheeseburgers and raging turns on the TV, sees that, and orders a strike. I can see it as clear as day and that's why more than anything he needs to be impeached.

        Agree...hearing that, " the President has been made aware of the situation" is not a comfort by any means. But he had a great golf game, I hear. Yep.

        Him golfing is probably the only reason Seoul is not burning right now.

        Horrified, it does not seem like an error. I checked my town emergency site, inactive. I am going to town hall to find out what in hell they are doing to keep information out and verified.

        I’m not sure I’m buying the wrong button excuse. My thoughts it was something worse like a hack into the system, a rogue employee or a deliberate false flag to see how people would handle it.
