Trump's twitter ability on STEROIDS!!!!!

[ABikerSailor]

Well, it seems that Trump has finally gotten the twitter platform he's always wanted. This Thursday apparently, there is going to be a test of something called the Presidential Alert System, and it will contact EVERYONE in America who has a cell phone. You can't opt out of it, you can't block it, you just have to let it happen.

Now, while this sounds like a good idea, what exactly is Trump going to consider a presidential emergency? And another thing..................this program was originally authorized by Obama, so why is it something he would consider using? Oh...............that's right...............he's all for anything that will allow him to inflate his ego even more.

Personally? I don't like it. The local and state warning systems should be enough. I know that here in Amarillo, on the last Friday of every month around noon, they tornado sirens go off, and whatever you are watching on tv is interrupted for the 3 min. it takes to run their drills.

And..............unlike other warning systems, you CANNOT opt out of this one.

FEMA: Trump administration will send ‘presidential alerts’ to cellphones across America

On Thursday, the Federal Emergency Management Agency will conduct a test of the national system that allows "presidential alerts" to hit the majority of cellphones. The goal is to warn residents of national emergencies, such as dangerous weather.

The warning system "provides the president with the communications capability to address the nation during a national emergency," FEMA said on its website.

The test is scheduled to occur at 2:18 p.m. EDT Thursday.

Some cellphone users will receive a message with a header that reads "Presidential Alert." The text then will say: "THIS IS A TEST of the National Wireless Emergency Alert System. No action is needed."

It’s a nationwide test of the same system that pushes public emergency messages like AMBER alerts

Seems like Milano is out of luck.

Under federal law, users can opt out of the alerts for "imminent threats" and Amber Alerts about abducted children but "not for presidential messages," FEMA warns.

This sounds pretty benign. As Trump using FEMA as his new twitter seems unlikely.

If nothing else, its slower and more cumbersome. His short attention span should inoculate the nation.

You didn't read the article dude. Trump is going to be able to contact EVERY phone in this country, regardless of whether you have opted out of special alerts or not, or whatever apps you have on your phone. If it is a mobile phone, expect a Trump alert this Thursday.

That is why I called it his twitter ability on steroids.

No he wont. Having the leftist twitter app on your phone is a (n unwise) choice. But I wouldnt mind hearing from him.

But not everyone is on board with the notion of presidential notifications.

"I don't want this," actress Alyssa Milano tweeted Saturday. "How do we opt out, @fema?"

I don’t want this. How do we opt out, @fema? I know trump isn’t big on consent but I don’t consent to this. NBC News on Twitter

Seems like Milano is out of luck.

Under federal law, users can opt out of the alerts for "imminent threats" and Amber Alerts about abducted children but "not for presidential messages," FEMA warns.

We dont need to be warned on imminent bad weather by the government..we have strollingbones. Right Sonny Clark ?

You didn't read the article dude. Trump is going to be able to contact EVERY phone in this country, regardless of whether you have opted out of special alerts or not,s.

No he wont. Having the leftist twitter app on your phone is a (n unwise) choice. But I wouldnt mind hearing from him.

I would hate getting a message with Drumpfs name on it. I would feel like I needed to take several hot showers afterwards.

Didn't like it then, like it even less now... someone remind me to turn my phone off come Thursday...
