Yep, hmmm. A combination of a test of lib Generals’ responses and a wake up call to HI?

[SaraJohnson]

He did nothing to defend himself.

I’m hoping it’s your scenario because my primitive neural knot has been screaming ‘shootdown’ since it happened, while my cortex immediately went looking for funny memes about it.

It could also have been a drill to see what CINC would do.

Thanks SeekAndFind. Incompetent boob in the White House does nothing while Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor.

[right way right]

He could have sent a tweet out about stupid union employees in a liberal democrat ran government.
That’s matches WAPO mentality after all and falls to their level.

Don’t forget the Titanic. Trump was responsible for that one too.

Hey, Hawaii: The Telecom Industry Lobbied Against Testing for Emergency Alert System

Everyone in Hawaii received a ballistic missile threat today under a system that currently has no good testing protocols.

Back in the 70’s I think. Didn't the Emergency Broadcast System Alter that effected the hole US. I believe it came from NARD and they found a glitch in the software, I think. My old age Can not remember all the details. No one got hung for it. I could be wrong.

I also forgot that he was responsible for the Apollo 1 fire, and the Challenger and Columbia disasters. He was probably at fault for the plagues of Egypt too.

The richest as in history apparently. I see antitrust RICO in his future.

Really burns my butt that the USPS subsidizes every Amazon delivery by $1.47.

[CrimsonTidegirl]

Yeah, I forgot about those incidents.

Trump’s fault.

[Feckless]

Notice how, when anything bad happens in a DemonRat ran Socialist Utopia it is always some Republican's fault?

Here, Flint, New Orleans...

[USCG SimTech]

President Trump should have ordered a full nuclear retaliation launch. Ummm. How about no.

[joma89]

Could we all just stop posting information propaganda from the Washington Compost, please?

[matt04]

Excellent point. A “incoming ICBM” alert should require several approvals before it can go out. I don’t buy the “pushers the wrong button” excuse fora second.

[dfwgator]

Trump needs to order a full investigation.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

So, with all the people blaming Trump, did the person in Hawaii push the button on purpose? Was this all coordinated?

[ssaftler]

It’s Trump’s fault

And if Hitlery had won (God forbid!), this would have been Bush's fault. Seems that the most recent Republican President is responsible for all the woes of the world. At least in the view of the Dems.

With the possible exception of Daddy Bush, who was such a waste that he was passed over for fault when Clinton beat him. Hence, everything from 1981-2001 was Reagan's fault.
