We rushed out of the last thread without even a pocket handkerchief: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/a3124599-Trump-2018-Resistance-is-Never-Futile

So here's a new one, with its own

I am the very model of a Very Stable Genius.
I have a mighty button and no problems with my penius.
I have no time for television, golf or social media
Since my brain is way way better than the best encyclopedia.

I'm cutting tax, I'll build a wall, I'll take away their medicare
You can trust me 'cos I'm orange and I have the most amazing hair.
So with my total ignorance of matters heterogeneous
I am the very model of a Very Stable Genius!

Compared to other leaders, my behavior's quite unusual
My twisted tweets and pissed-on sheets have managed to amuse you all
I have to drink two-handed 'cause my fingers are the teeniest
I need a sippy-cup with the inscription "Stable Genius."

Computer peeps are questioning that 'wrong button' explanation.

I think the wrong button scenario sounds a little dubious.
I wonder if something- sun reflecting off clouds, a flock of birds, 99 red balloons- was detected by radar or whatever other missile detection system they have.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 13/01/2018 22:56

The sirens didn't go off, so it wasn't a false detection.

Thanks for the Peanuts story link Lion - I 'spent a lot of time' with Snoopy and friends when my DD was young as she was a big fan of the cartoon strip. I never considered the implication of a black character being included.

Really love this thread title

lettuceWrap · 13/01/2018 23:39

Ah, you’re right Kitten, I just read into it a bit more - should have done so before commenting!

OhYouBadBadKitten · 13/01/2018 23:41

it's still quite odd and does show the potentially serious implications of how false warnings will induce panic.

PerkingFaintly · 14/01/2018 00:13

Quite detailed reaction from the Hawaii governor and the head of the state Emergency Management Agency:

www.staradvertiser.com/2018/01/13/breaking-news/emergency-officials-mistakenly-send-out-missile-threat-alert/

They're adamant it was human error. But bloody hell, what a time to have such an error!

"I can’t paint anything good on this,” Miyagi said. “It happened."

As he said.

PerkingFaintly · 14/01/2018 00:20

Yep.Shock

My heart goes out to those folk.

PerkingFaintly · 14/01/2018 00:22

"Folk" being all people in Hawaii - those who knew it was a false alarm but knew they'd fucked up, and those who didn't know.

OK, I admit, it's petty. But enjoyable.

Disclaimer: no, I didn't post a review. I'm not on Yelp.

AcrossthePond55 · 14/01/2018 00:47

Ok, just had to do one more

Yelp is monitoring the postings for Trump properties. So by the time many of you in the UK are awake these lovely reviews may be gone.

badbadhusky · 14/01/2018 01:21

Just checked the DC listing, Across. Burn! Grin One recommends the ‘racist burger’ in the bar - “no burger, just white bread.”

Trump Hotel in DC now has a rather fine projection thing going on.

Trump Tower projection with a very rude eight letter word

user1482239534 · 14/01/2018 03:17

ooops Trump Hotel

AcrossthePond55 · 14/01/2018 04:11

Oh, Yippee Skippee!!!! Another projection!!!

I actually woke DH up to show him that one.

Lweji · 14/01/2018 06:16

From a reply to the hotel projection tweet:

POTUS
Piece of totally useless shit.

Suddenly, it makes sense to use POTUS again.

Lweji · 14/01/2018 06:22

These are even more politically charged.
