“BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND TO HAWAII. SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.”

This is what the people of Hawaii awoke to as sirens rang for 35 minutes before House Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, tweeted in regard to the alert: “HAWAII – THIS IS A FALSE ALARM. THERE IS NO INCOMING MISSILE TO HAWAII. I HAVE CONFIRMED WITH OFFICIALS THERE IS NO INCOMING MISSILE.”

Holy Mackerel! willynilly

I am watching the breaking news on it and they say people there know they have 15 minutes until impact.

Cars were screeching, people running, people crying and praying.

I think it was a congresswoman from Hawaii here in DC who called her family and they were crying, huddled in the garage. What do we do?

Man oh man, reality do take a bite! willynilly

Is this not appropriate to post in regards to a petulant man-child who calls other countries a deragatory name?

Now I wonder how long till your whataboutism in regards to Hillary?

No, it wasn't appropriate. Can you tell me where, how, what any of the false alarm had to do with Trump?

Please?

Oh, that's right. It had nothing to do with Trump. Thanks.

It'll take a lot longer for me to bring that up that it did you bringing Trump up.

Nice name calling by the way. Exactly what I posted about in a different thread. Exactly what I posted about.

No go on, keep calling people names. When you have nothing to stand on, at least you can call people names. So, you have that going for you.

And you talking about 'what about isms" is priceless. "What about trump, the 'derogatory names' person. "?

This is exactly what I was talking to Clem about.

40,

Even you can see this issue remains political. This could’ve caused a dire situation in the political realm.

Sorry you can’t take criticism of 45.

———————

Arch,

Name calling? Am I not allowed to point out the facts of what 45 is? These realities remain in truth unlike the constant name calling on this board of obummer or insinuations of 44 being a Kenyan Islamist looking to instill sharia law. None of those criticisms of 44 had any basis in reality. Trump shows he needs no criticism, pays off porn starts, can’t keep a marriage, and the list of factual statements keeps going on and on and on.

That is not a whataboutism. You asked why I brought up 45 and I explained my point. You wanted an explanation, and you got one. Explanation fails to equate to a whataboutism.

The Commander-In-Chief holds responsibility for ordering a retaliatory strike if missiles get launched. An errant move, much like errant tweets about the size of buttons, could have launched us into WWIII. Especially with someone who lacks basic knowledge of the nuclear triad.

Luckily he took another round of golf, still outpacing 43 and 44 for rounds of golf while in office, instead of being able to respond with the big red button on his desk.

The man makes impulsive moves. It’s a miracle we didn’t accidentally launch off nukes due to the mistake someone made in Hawaii.

Pretty sure he has to get congress's approval before starting a war.

Despite liberal hysteria, there are procedures to be followed regardless of what dummy is in office.

Funny how he proved you liberals wrong by not acting impulsive and you still put him down. Reality is you are safer now than anytime during the Obama era. Countries did not respect us when he was in office because they knew he was too much of a wimp to act. He might apologize.

Sorry bud, that's an elitist thing to say.

Hey, why don't YOU quit making everything about trump, or racism? That'd be one hell of a place to start.



Did you hear that there was a false warning of an incoming ballistic missile in Hawaii? False warning by the state - somebody hit the "wrong button"?

Oh, that's right, you did hear that - and you, in your hatred and vitriol went all "blame trump. Thank God he was golfing and didn't nuke someone".

Nah, dude, you're exactly what I was telling Clem about, and you have this air about you of "I know more than you do."

The governor is wearing an Hawaiian shirt at a press conference. It's not like he was caught off guard by paparazzi at a restaurant.

Which is fine. I don't care, but he obviously is projecting a stereotype.

I'm quite sure you're the one who always refers to me being college educated, a know it all, an elitiest, etc.

Please provide receipts where I tell people that I know more than them, that I am better than others, or non-college educated individuals aren't worthy. Your feelings mean nothing in the world of facts. You lack facts to back up your claims.

You’re elitist cause you’re using facts.

Just as you lack facts to say you're surprised Trump didn't launch nukes over some stupid screw up in Hawaii.

But, you said it.
