What the hell??

Velshi and Ruhle on MSNBC were delineating Trump's obstruction points in the Mueller report, when the broadcast was interrupted for a test of the emergency alert system. Given the insomnia that has me up during the wee hours when those tests routinely happen, I can attest that midday tests are NOT the norm for this area (northeast Colorado).

So again -- what the hell, comcast?!

And I'm glad I missed it because it would have totally freaked me out.

And, the other broadcast networks have been running them at odd times lately, too. Not usually during news casts, however. But, always in the middle of something I want to hear. I'm guessing it's more incompetence than anything nefarious. Same goes for Comcast.
