Oh no. Some unhinged snowflakes who love big government are upset with a big government. So sad, too bad.

A great example of why a bad president is so bad for the country. This POTUS is so bad that folks are prepared to forgo the potential benefits of a national alert system - which already exists on radio and TV - because it is hard to believe Trump will not abuse it.

This happened in the 0bama administration.  It's been on our phones for years!  And, not bypassable. 

Correction: it's been on our phones since 1997.

This is uncharted territory for most employees in emergency response and management, since this would be the first wireless emergency alert from an American president since the EAS was put in place by the Federal Communications Commission in 1997.

Either way, it is not a Trump thing.

It doesn't surprise me one bit you would be following open pieces for vomit on Twitter. You do lunch with this guy once a week?

If there was ever a good time for 40 days and nights of rain, its now.
