      How many "emergency podcasts" do you have to conduct before people start concluding that there was never an emergency in the first place?https://twitter.com/benjaminwittes/status/1084421051579330560 …

      Here's a question I posed on the emergency podcast yesterday which I am now posing more generally: If I were a senior FBI official and I had just opened a CI sub file on POTUS, one thing I would make damn sure of is that the Gang of Eight knew.

      1) Fostering this sense of perpetual "emergency" corrodes critical faculties, makes people needlessly anxious, and generally creates an atmosphere of overblown frenzied anticipation 2) The term "emergency podcast" is inherently ridiculous

          I for one have the tendency to sit down quietly & calmly to listen to a podcast in an emergency situation... Very prudent behaviour... #ClownWorld

          When this gov't shutdown eliminates the weekly testing of the emergency podcast notification you'll be wondering what podcasts are truly emergencies at all.

          Crying Wolf. Anyone still paying attention is caught in the cycle. The rest of us? It's background noise. Will anyone pay attention when an actual emergency comes along?

          There will be more and more storms, earthquakes, etc. It is the Bible prophecies. Believe the ocean is warming and causing storms, but who is warming the ocean? God and the Bible shows it is true. The storms will get greater.

          Yes, if there were an emergency the first thing I would do is grab my smartphone and listen to a podcast. Idiotic!!

          Is there ever enough smoke for there to actually be a fire for you? I mean, it’s getting pretty ridiculous.

          I think it just means previously unscheduled. No need to wet your pants.

          So many better words for that. Impromptu, spontaneaous, unscheduled. The only people wetting their pants are the bloggers calling for "emergencies" about an event that is one year and 10 months away.
