An emergency alert test just came on MSNBC while they spoke of the NATO breakfast.

It was just a test, but I jumped through my ass.

What bizarre, dangerous and tenuous times Trump has put the US in.

1. Quick!

Duck and cover.

2. And what's nerve wracking as well is that they are testing way more often nt

5. I've noticed that too.

We're getting them way more often than previously. It's a bit unnerving.

3. So like, what do we do, duck and cover or march to our closest fallout shelter?

oh wait that was 1959.

4. During the Cuban missile crisis

We would walk the two blocks from our elementary school carrying backpacks that contained a bleach bottle filled with water, hard candy, and a can of Dinty Moore beef stew. This was called an emergency drill. We walked to the railroad tracks where we were told if there was a real emergency a train would be waiting to whisk us all to safety. Right.

I’m pretty sure our teacher thought the whole exercise was bullshit, because we would happily eat the hard candy and she didn’t care.

6. The announcement calls it a monthly test of the EBS,

but they're coming almost daily now. In fact, we've just had our second within 7 hours.

Perhaps they're ramping them up due to drump's trip this week, in case he starts WW3.

7. I have thought the same thing also.

I feel like I've gone paranoid, but jeez....every day here too.
