Nah... she had the option to switch it off. Also, sims from outside the US don't have it. Since it was just a routine, test alert, I doubt she cared.

I just want to know when a dangerous missile is headed my way or a out of control asteroid.

I don't. It's not like you can avoid them.

Michael Moore actually got upset because he was at the Golden Coral buffet when the alert was sent and he got grease all over his phone checking the message.

That lard-butt needs to RESIST whatever junk food he is stuffing his fat face with.

That's the only resistance he needs to worry about. That and insulin resistance.

That's irrelevant, has Donald Trump ever attempted to or succeeded in taking advantage of or taking control of any government system in any way to push a political message, weird **** or anything else for that matter?

The idea that President Trump would somehow openly break the law and order FEMA to use this Presidential alert system (created by President Obama) like he uses Twitter is laughable and it just further proves how irrational and utterly ignorant the liberals here on CD are these days.

Exactly, sheer unhinged paranoia is one of the symptoms of extreme TDS.

The same can be said about Trump.

For those here who are saying Moore doesn't know what he's talking about, remember he is one of the few people who said Trump would win. I think he's got his finger on the pulse of the nation and ordinary Americans in a way most of us don't.

to be fair the name is a bit weird, Trump or no Trump.

I mean nobody believes the POTUS would be actually sending the alert so why not Federal gov or White house...


I would think it odd if Obama, Bush or anyone else did it. But having said that i don't really give a damn and Moore is not my idea of role model for liberals. he is a bit of a loon, overstates to make a point and often misleads to make his points too which i object to, because it puts us in the same ballpark as the more extreme right wingers who just lie and twist the truth as a matter of course.

Dude... I'm not saying he will... I'm just saying he might. If he could. I'm pretty sure he's broken the law a number of times.

And, it's not laughable to think he has... it's logical.

Quit accusing people of being ignorant just because they don't agree with your love of Trump. It's incredibly rude, not remotely accurate, and it makes you look like you're trying to bully or shame people into agreeing with you.

Obama didn't "create" the system, btw... Congress did.

And, yes... it was created pre-Trump.

I already knew all that stuff.
