[Robert DeLong]

When you list it as the only thing I said you make it seem like that, but when you add in what else I said it is not non-sequitur, ai all, It is a legitimate question.

But nice try.

Nice try.

You introduced Maui into a discussion that had nothing at all to do with it; what’s more, the discussion had nothing to do with paying Maui residents, or Ukrainian pensions, etc., even in the context of your other observations. Thus, your comment was a non-sequitur, and your examples were strawmen.

The discussion was about Nazis, particularly within the Russian Wagner Group; and, by comparison, within the Ukrainian Azov bunch.

If you want to discuss Maui — and it’s a valid topic that deserves its own thread — then start a thread. I agree with you that FEMA’s $700 per household “critical needs” payment — which is just a one-time allowance — is insulting. But it has nothing to do with the topic at hand.
