HAH......and he did from his flag-draped coffin after getting killed in combat.
Like IL and CA, HI is a one-party state.
The rats keep it that way.
What has been the consequence and corresponding commensurate punishment for any public employee’s incompetence? The Uvalde school massacre? The Afghanistan evacuation? The Ohio train derailment? Pick a few. Your choice. I’ll wait for an answer.
He also looks like a major SOB.
Kind of like the mystery of where Obama was during Benghazi attacks. No one has ever known.
My FRiend, you are misinformed. Beau died when he, Potato and Strom Thurmond stormed a school to desegregate it. Beau was killed when a MAGA hat wearing police dog was set on them during the storming. Specifically, Beau drowned when the police dog turned a fire hose on him unexpectedly.

Fateful decision in Maui: Firefighters left the scene, blaze began its deadly march unchallenged
The response of Maui firefighters is one of several areas of scrutiny. Island officials had been warned about the high fire risk to Lahaina but did little to address it. And Hawaiian Electric, the utility company, had no plan to cut off electricity ahead of the extreme fire weather, reducing the risk of sparking power lines, which is a standard procedure in California.
By early afternoon, the winds were still raging, Juan said. But between 1 and 2 p.m., the few firetrucks that had remained on the hillside left, both Advinculas said.
“Why are they going?” Juan remembered asking his wife, as he looked out the oversize windows in his family’s second-story living room. “They need to watch the embers and stuff. Hopefully it doesn’t fly off.”

The Department of Justice is seeking damages for one of the largest wildfires that’s ever burned in Los Angeles County.
In a complaint filed on Friday, federal prosecutors allege the Bobcat Fire, which burned over 114,500 acres in 2020, was caused by the negligence of utility company Southern California Edison and its tree maintenance contractor, Utility Tree Service.
The lawsuit alleges the two companies failed to properly maintain trees that came into contact with powerlines.
Forest Service investigators determined the Bobcat Fire ignited on Sept. 6, 2020, within the Angeles National Forest when a tree came in contact with a power line owned by Southern California Edison and maintained by both the utility company and Utility Tree Service, according to the complaint.
The lawsuit alleges the two companies knew of the danger posed by the tree but “failed to take any action.”
