the_rowan posted...Can I just say that this article and topic are actually so intentionally misleading, it could actually endanger people? Because statements like "President Donald Trump may soon be communicating with you directly on your phone even if you don't follow him on Twitter" to describe the national emergency alert system could lead to drastic measures to prevent potentially life-saving alerts. This isn't some fucking mass tweet system, this is the system that tells you when we're being bombed. This system is already in place, just it only takes over radio and television at the moment to distribute the warnings rather than going to phone carriers. Are. You. Fucking. Kidding. Me. Is "post a misleading topic title" all one has to do to cause this kind of hysteria? This is the system that is used for national emergencies of the highest urgency. If you really, truly are so utterly fucking brainless that you believe this system, which already exists and already allows the President to send alerts to every phone (I was actually wrong about this not being already implemented), is suddenly going to be turned into Donald Trump's Power Hour, with no checks from anyone around him, you are so fucking delusional that you need serious help. --- "That is why war is so tragic.

imagine thinking that trump wont abuse this power He. Already. Has. The. Power. It has existed since before he entered office. This is just an alternate implementation of it. Are you really SO UTTERLY BRAINLESS that all it takes for you to believe that a man could hijack the national emergency alert system to send personal non-emergency tweets without consequence is someone posting a stupid, false line in a topic title on the message board? Do you have absolutely no grip on reality? No ability to think rationally or critically whatsoever? Is the very concept of Donald Trump being both legally and socially responsible for his actions as the president too hard to grasp? The fact that his political opponents would gut him for such a thing just impossible to imagine? The fact that there is absolutely ZERO precedent for what you are saying in the entire history of the nation? Trump can be an idiot on Twitter all he wants, and the consequences of it are that most of the nation (and certainly almost the entirety of the rest of the world) thinks he's an idiot. But he's not actually required to tweet in any particular style. Abusing a national emergency alert system? That could have serious consequences for him. I know people love to pretend that the world is a cartoon and that Trump is infinitely stupid in all ways, but the man knows better than to do such a thing, and has already demonstrated this by not doing it (since again, HE ALREADY CAN DO THIS). --- "That is why war is so tragic.

I mean, I already get Amber Alerts and notifications for severe weather. This sounds like the same exact thing but with a dumb name that makes it seem like Trump could use it as a Twitter alternative. As long as he doesn't have that ability there's no issue. Anyone acting like he wouldn't if given the chance is being dishonest, though.

Eh. Im not too worried. While this sounds incredibly annoying at first glance, if #45 starts abusing it there will be enough class action lawsuits that either we will be given the chance to opt out or the program will be disbanded.

So long as this is only used in genuine emergencies to convey important information, ok. But even then, I don't think it needs to be a "Presidential Alert." It should be from FEMA.
