Perhaps, much like Feinstein, whoever accidentally hit the button had the COLD, yo? /s

Just watched Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D) being interviewed on FNC earlier today. She is an idiot. Seriously.

The article states at the end that is was a State of Hawaii Emergency Management FUBAR event, not NORAD or Federal. To be sure the blue state dumbocrats will not take the blame and will probably say that President Trump accidently pushed the button while sitting down in his golf cart. Wait for it.

JMHO, Gabbard along with every one of the “someones” involved with this witless crap needs to be in the company of a squad of Marines on the way to the nearest hard core Navy Brig.

This ain’t a damn game.

This fits right in with the overall incompetence that is rampant in West Coast states and the bureaucracies that govern them. They play fast and loose every day with your lives.

The ultimate takeaway, well stated and concise. Thanks.

Because that’s probably when the office “computer guy” showed up for work.

Accident? Maybe.

But then again, maybe not.

This false alarm will make it easier to garner support from the left for a preemptive strike on No. Korea.

The problem now is that next time it could be real, and people will think it is BS.

Agreed that there should be serious consequences, worse than losing ones job. Indeed some people may have had medical emergencies. In the early morning to wake up to such a shock.

Some time behind bars for everyone involved, and it will be less like;y to happen again.

So, it takes only one button push? and it cannot be rescinded after being pushed?
