President* Trump

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Good analysis here, finding best guess is Huntsman

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/201 ... trump.html
I heard another commentator speculating that it's someone with a foreign policy/national security focus, without mentioning Huntsman. Their reasoning is also based on what ISN'T in the op-ed - no mention of racism, misogyny and other social/domestic issues.

The President of the United States of America is sharing shitty memes on twitter!

He's just like us, you guys. Just like our grandmothers and grandfathers on Facebook and in the AOL days of yore.

He's evolved into the pissed off grandpa stage of dementia.

Be on the lookout for tweets complaining about kids and their skateboards and boomboxes and their hippity-hop music. Then we will know the transition is complete.

This is what I've been seeing in most of the posts (including my own) that had photos posted. My problem is not with the forum permissions or photo copyrights; rather it's the Firefox browser I'm using. Firefox has built-in ad-blocking and it was blocking more than ads.
Goodbye Firefox.

It's a shame they're calling it "Presidential" and that it associates in any way with Trump - even though it's not going to be him sending the message. But I think the plan in concept is really good. Lady O and I have personally benefited at least once from the Emergency Alert app we use, when we were in the path of a big storm in Naples a few years ago. We still had a travel trailer at the time and - although no actual harm was done - could easily have been tipped over or hammered by falling branches or flying coconuts. The alarm getting us up in the middle of the night gave us opportunity to bail and go hide in a parking garage for a couple of hours.

Presidential Alert: Fake news! Witch hunt! Hillary lost!

Even though it was an Obama idea, I'm having trouble imagining the usefulness of an alert that goes to every cell user. All out nuclear war is a big enough disaster, but we're all screwed then, anyhow.

Presidential Alert: Kiss your ass goodbye.

I haven't read about it in detail, but I'm guessing a message wouldn't necessarily have to go to all cells just because it could. I'd think some localization would be possible. However, since cell numbers a totally portable, my 305 area code doesn't necessarily mean I'm affected about what's being alerted in Miami. Or maybe they just know where the phone is.... woo woo woo woo.

This article is a little short on detail, but it sounds like you're correct that it can be and has been geographically limited - by cell tower rather than phone number.
Wireless Emergency Alerts
It doesn't really say when a "Presidential Alert" might be used . . . and whether that's a message we even want to read. :shock:

Presidential Alert: Mueller has been arrested and executed, martial law has been declared.

Presidential Alert: We begin bombing in five minutes.
