Anyone else?

If someone does not take this opportunity to somehow link Frump's twitter account to this so that everyone in America gets a "Presidential Alert" every time he opens his mouth, then I have lost complete faith in humanity and the power of the people.

The greatest president you’ve ever had, statistics don’t care about your feelings...

I dont think thats the case Dag, I think its an emergency alert system, not a tweet machine. I got one too as a test.

Dont forget, Obama had a kill switch made, for the net and phones etc. This seems like nothing compared to that... so long as its an "emergency" text.

Sheesh you guys are dense. I didn't say it was tied to his twitter, what I said was:

Someone SHOULD tie his Twitter to this so everyone in America gets a BOOOOOOOOOOOPPPP every time he posts some stupid shit on Twitter...

no more intrusive than the Weather alerts which tell me if I was in my home area code I should be evacuating (I live 500 miles inland now) or worse yet the Amber alerts we get every time a kid is kidnapped at 3AM.

Yeah, everyone got it. I turned amber alerts off years ago. I also thought about his tweets getting linked to this new alert. I haven't investigated turning it off yet.

My Alert Message preferences instantly popped up when I got it. I can turn off Amber Alerts, and 2 others, but it wont allow me to turn off Presidential Alerts weirdly.

They're on to you, man.

I have alerts turned off on my phone and I didn't get it. I guess I knew of such a thing but never received any. I thought it was something you subscribed to. I don't remember having to turn them off when I got my phone but maybe I did. However, a couple months or so ago, there was an update for my phone. I put it off for a week or two until I was ready to deal with any bullshit complications that might ensue. I did the update and that very night, I got an alert while I was trying to sleep. I almost always have my phone on silence (and I did) but that motherfucker put out the most obscene noise and woke me up. WTF?!? I can't remember if it was weather or Amber related but I couldn't care less either way. I was trying to have some rest and sleep. The next morning, I thoroughly went through my settings and turned that shit off.
