Lack of state equipment and training resulted in disaster.

And it didn't help that apparently the fire hydrants had no water, I guess they don't regularly test them.

Uninsured. Underinsured.

Nothing was learned after the Leilani Estates debacle.

Not a damn thing.

To the extent that it’s a “jobs program” for unionized munitions factories, I can see his interest in it.

Most of Hawaii requires electricity to pump water.
Plenty of water, just no gravity feed for the most part.

Hell, we lost power, water, AND cell service on Oahu in 2006 from an earthquake 180 miles away. The ground shook and everything just shut down.

Place is run by incompetent democrats.

Does Caliph Baraq have similar large Hawaii land holdings, or just his seaside mansion?

Everyone should stop complaining about the response... /s

Biden’s FEMA Chief, Deanne Criswell told reporters during a briefing at the White House Monday that she believes the government has enough resources and staff on the ground in Maui.

“At this point, I have no awareness of anything that we have not been able to meet, and we’ll continue to build up our presence here on the island to support this,” Criswell said when asked by ABC News’ Mary Bruce if there were any delays.

We don't have that. We sent it all to Ukraine.

Sorry Lahaina, no comment.

I like it. I was going to suggest the main attraction be called the Big O.

People are dying in Ukraine and you’re using their misery to push for more billions in graft and kickbacks for the DC oligarchs.

Contemptible!
