If nothing else it’s a sobering look at what powers should we give to a president, any president. Because for every Obama or Carter there’s a Trump or an Andrew Jackson.
If your senators haven’t committed to opposing Kavanaugh’s nomination, call them right now at 202-224-3121 and demand that they do so.
“You cannot prove a sexual assault of Dr. Ford.”
It is October 1, shouldn’t Megyn be concerned about the ramping up of the war on Christmas and that Jesus and Santa are white?
I hate Polanski as much as everybody here, but don’t appreciate the misleading clickbait of the headline (I thought he made a film about a man who’s accused of rape) or the minimizing of one of the biggest antisemitic scandals in French history which had big political consequences (the Dreyfus Affair).
It’s pretty amazingly ironic that someone CONVICTED of sexual assault and who acknowledges that he did indeed rape a child has the cajones to say that #metoo is hysterical. You’re the fucking poster of how this shit happens and even a conviction (and escape) doesn’t really affect a man’s career or ability to reoffend…
He didn’t “have sex” with a 13 year old. He raped her.
Roman Polanski has called the #MeToo movement “mass hysteria” and compared it to McCarthyism.
It’s so sad that my instinctual response to a post that vaguely reads (excuse me for over simplification) “don’t worry, the president will have no idea what’s going on,” is to want to pat you on the back and say “that’s the hope brother, that’s the hope.”
Im sure he will send out something like “My fellow Americans, Nancy Pelosy and the FAKE NEWS media are attacking your freedoms, vote R, this is a national emergency like the time I ran out of potatoe salad!!!! #lockHERup”
For all you people going on about how this comment is petty, or an example of blatant partisanship. You seem to be forgetting the three things Trump can absolutely be counted on to do, ignore democratic norms; abuse executive power; and whine, and rage as loudly as possible to as many people as possible.
He’s not supposed to write the message himself, just as he’s not supposed to use the system as another means to whine about witch hunts and Crooked Hillary.
Ouch, this is rough. I hate the idea of him being able to force a text to my phone, but at the same time, if this were literally any other president, I’d be fully behind it. If FEMA and the office of the POTUS both think I should know something immediately, I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.
probably won’t be that blatant, but can’t you see it being used something like the Terror Levels were used in 2004?
I’m waiting for an alert: “National emergency! The White House is out of Diet Coke! I repeat: the White House is out of Diet Coke!”
Amber alerts were the first thing I disabled.
The other alerts are useful, to me.
Watch Putin’s Bitch subvert this system with messages like this:
If the alerts weren’t so overused, I’d turn them back on.
