    The Hawaiians should grab their pitchforks and kick the colonizer landowners/occupiers off their island. That'd be American poetic justice.

    It's amazing that Hawaiians have survived at all considering how far back their near genocide reaches (back to Captain Cook, if I'm not mistaken).  I admit I'm guilty of having been a tourist there in the past (once in my early teens when taken there with my family and once of my own recognizance in the mid 1980s.  Once thing for sure- I won't be going back.  Hawaii needs to find another way to survive without tourist dollars.   They did just find before being inundated in the modern world.

    Would they have then been colonized by Japan during WWII?

    The reality of course is that almost every place on earth has been colonized.  Some in worse so in same cases.

    FEMA Puts Workers Up in 5-Star Hotels in Maui While Thousands Remain Homeless Due to Wildfires


    Meanwhile, the Biden Administration has approved $7 million in emergency funds to assist those displaced by the wildfires to stay in hotels or condos. But according to the Daily Mail, local residents say the federal agency is not allowing volunteer organizations to pass out supplies, allowing only FEMA-approved supplies to be sent to victims.

    You just commented on the republicans Joe sleeping story.  That’s exactly what you were responding to.  Maybe you should go back and read it before you comment.  You pulled the wrong comment to respond to but it’s me right?  

    You’re so bent out of shape you can’t even respond properly.  Maybe step back for awhile.

    I know this is a lot to comprehend. I never posted a news story about Joe falling asleep. I replied back to the comment made about getting news from legit sources. The source in question is Breitbart. I posted a story about how FEMA agents are staying in $1,000/night hotel rooms and "the federal agency is not allowing volunteer organizations to pass out supplies, allowing only FEMA-approved supplies to be sent to victims."

    When it comes to sleepy Joe, I never commented on that in this thread. Here's what I said in a different thread, "    That's how out of touch Joe is. He believes that a small kitchen fire is similar to the most deadly US fire in the last 100 years. Of course he's going to nod off because he's old. I don't even care to look into that."

    I’m sure Brietbart “writers” are well versed in disaster relief and those FEMA employees are probably POOTWH appointed holdovers, if the reporting is accurate. As for volunteer’s handing out supplies, guess they’ve been arrested and detained in FEMA camps because we all know that’s why FEMA is there. The Brandon crime family making ocean front land grabs for donations to off shore accounts for when they need to flee imminent arrest.

    I know you don’t get this but you can copy and paste and even cut to make your posts a little easier to follow.  See you could have cut out (not with scissors sweetie this would be on a computer) the Joe part and just posted the part you were actually trying to respond to…..but again…it’s me.  There again “you need to calm down”.

    Not for Briebert, lol  

    But as for Breitbart , if by reporting you mean news reporting, Breitbart is not so much a news source as it is an opinion column and I don't use those type of platforms for news.

    Try AP or Reuters if you want people to take you seriously about reporting.
