Tomorrow morning there will be at least a dozen youtube videos telling us there really was a missile and we shot it down, or it malfunctioned, or it landed somewhere else etc. And, that they are just making up the story of an accident at shift change.....

LOL, so true.

It’s a lie and continues the arc of their ongoing narrative.

You can’t just push a button.

There are at least two actions before one would be able send that message.

Those two actions are distinct and you have know what message you are sending to ensure the proper response from citizens...

So, what, the state capital in Hawaii has a big, red "Incoming Missile Alert" button somewhere, and a janitor bumped into it?

This kind of explanation makes them look like bumbling fools.

[dfwgator]

That was easy!

“Well, Mr. Someone is somebody who is going to find himself out of a job.”

As a government employee he will probably end up with a promotion.

Well, it wouldn't surprise me if Mr. Someone did become Mr. Somebody Big Shot Government Employee and then they'll get somebody else to be the new Mr.Someone, probably anybody I guess and then that person will someday be somebody too.
