Just as well Trump was playing golf at the time. Had he been in his office, he might have pushed that bigger button by way of replying.

I don't know why they're worried. There are so many Japanese in Hawaii that Godzilla will rise up and protect them from the missiles.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Hawaii Gov. David Ige said human error caused the false alarm.
"It was a mistake made during a standard procedure at the changeover of a shift and an employee pushed the wrong button," Ige said.

Pushed the wrong button, it happens. Press 1 for real, press 2 for drill ....... :hehe:
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

Exactly where did all those people in Honolulu think they were going? 38 minutes till the nuke hits, how far you think you're going to get? I'll sit in the chaise longue with a doobie and a cold one and watch the show. Fuck it.

Apparently the button had a big 'DO NOT PRESS' sticker on it. That's hard to resist.
