REMINDER: Tomorrow, 10/3 at 2:18 PM EDT, there will be a nationwide test of the Wireless Emergency Alert system, in coordination w/ @FCC. You’ll get a message on your phone with a tone & vibration. This is not a text & your phone number is not shared with anyone.
I have all of that crap turned “off” on my iphone.
This is not optional.
This is not optional.
You can’t turn these off. It’s part of national defense policy. Cell carriers are REQUIRED to deliver it to you.
Skip the test. Send a real alert about Dem obstruction and rhetoric, and the real dangers to our country.

WASHINGTON (AP) — About 225 million electronic devices across the United States will wail and buzz Wednesday afternoon as the Federal Emergency Management Agency conducts an emergency alert test.
A tone will sound at 2:18 p.m. EDT, similar to that of an Amber Alert or flood watch warning, and the subject of the alert will read: “Presidential Alert” and text will say: “THIS IS A TEST of the National Wireless Emergency Alert System. No action is needed.”
It is the first test of the national wireless emergency system by FEMA. The message will be broadcast by cell towers for 30 minutes, so it’s possible some people may get it at a different time. The alerts will sound as long as the device is turned on — even if it’s on mute or do not disturb, and it may also appear on smart watches, officials said.
A second alert on television broadcast and radio will go off at 2:20 p.m. EDT. The TV and radio alert has been tested for several years.
The system test is for a high-level “presidential” alert that would be used only in a nationwide emergency

Emotion-driven thinking (such as it is) over there, as usual.
Could be a great militia assembly tool if you ask me.
Numerous coworkers around me here in Boston are gnashing their teeth with indignation at the sheer affront of it all.
Hope the test message is #MAGA or Lock up crooked Hillary, or Build the wall, or Confirm Kavanaugh
You cannot turn off that warning
“This is a test. For the next sixty (or thirty) seconds, this station will conduct a test of the Emergency Broadcast System. This is only a test.”
Now I feel old :-(
More than one poster at DU has vowed to scream up obscenities at their phone nonstop when the text appears. They’re such children.
I hope they film that.
So that is what has caused the ringing in my ears....

What clearly appears to be certain perjury by Dr. Ford during her subcommittee testimony would seem to give Grassley, McConnell and Trump the basis for driving a stake in the heart of the "win at any cost" wing of the Socialist Dems.
Let's see if that basis is properly used, or left to Trump.
It's easily done if you use the Hillary Clinton method. Just take a hammer and beat the phone until is in tiny little pieces. Problem solved.
