    It's terrible. Just terrible.
    Listening to these people and what they've lost ( including many pets) is just heart wrenching.
    So disheartening and accentuates the helplessness we all feel.

    on a tangent, that Jimmy Buffett restaurant mention reminds me ... A week ago. I was telling someone that Buffet had some sort of lucky star over him. The guy has never had a setback. Records sell, fans devoted, writes books and they sell, crafts a shitty tequila and even that sells. Midas touch. I wondered why the least talented songwriter of his era could live so long and never have a setback.

    Now this, which isn't even on his radar as far as fiscal costs. But still, it's a bolt out of the blue for that city, for Hawaii as a whole, and for island tourism in general. For a conspiracy of high winds to decimate a lush place like this ... Wtf?

    Anyway, my in-laws in Oahu are worried about two cousins who've not checked in. They don't live in Lahaina but they might've gotten caught there. It's got everyone scrambling out. They are the types who disappear for a week and sort of live off grid. They may just be up in the mountains smoking weed. Or maybe they met their maker.

    It's just heartbreaking to see the devastation. It looks like something out of a WW2 documentary showing cities after being carpet bombed.
    Many of those building were 100s of years old. I just can't imagine how/if they're going to rebuild.
    Lahaina used to be home to "Mardi Gras of the Pacific", aka Haloween on Front Street. Now Front Street doesn't even exist anymore.

    i think the first time i was on Front st. was 1984 w my friends family and it was a huge party w dance bars and women everywhere
    when i went back in the late 90s everything had become more family oriented but what a laid back gorgeous area of the world
    staying in Kaanapali was like a 4 mile drive to the real action but i can only imagine what it was like in the 70s
    all gone now but the memories and anything they build to replace it will never replace the feel
    can't believe their FD couldn't save a single building apparently

    The debauchery started to pick up again in the 2010s. But yeah, can't even imagine what it was like back in the day.

    good old fashioned racism appears to be ok as long as you're white

    i've been a big proponent of bestbuy since they match amazon's price and you can go hands on w the product but fuck that
    intend to go in and cancel my account at the local store
    costco has comparable merch and even though they aren't perfect i'll shop there for electronics
    maybe a poc crew can pay them a visit like they did west hills nordstrom yesterday

    Remember when Kike and all the MSM lost their shit when Trump alleged that the corrupt PR government wasted/stole all the aide we gave them? And then we found out the government hid all the cash in vacant apartment buildings?

    Anyways, as I say for each and every indictment and impeachment...

    Don't care. Still voting Trump.

    it's reached epic levels of corruption and tyranny
    keep waiting for someone to stand up for the man but the simpering repubes are in on it so no way that's happening
    this is a violation of basic rights as a citizen not to mention an ex president
    every American should be outraged especially as the msm covers for hunter and the commander of thieves
    fucking outrageous

    The worse part, and it obviously doesn't effect me in practice anymore, but there is very little left to pass on to your kids about the country and government.
    Because it's all a fucking lie and a blatant, unabated sham.
    Any young parents who have a brain can give no true examples of fair play and the harm diabolical greed and power and the desperate measures they are willing to go to to keep it.
    It's nauseating now.
    A culturally vapid cesspool.
    How the fuck did we get here ?

    it’s truly an embarrassing time for our country
    the left does whatever they want, and the media not only looks the other way… they create a smokescreen by vilifying the right instead
    and how amazing (pathetic) is it that the lemmings are the majority and the sane the minority
    emperor biden’s new clothes…
    he’s not naked, just corrupt and incompetent

    all we have is a uni party that's fat and happy divvying up the trillions of dollars in taxes they steal
    they've created the entire problem no matter which one you're talking about
    all so they can smile and tell you how much they care while they fly jets and eat 5 star fucking off
    a guy like Trump is a threat to all that and its right out in the open
    all these lawyers are going to throw spears until he can't stand or move again
    they have no viable talent other than their disgusting greed

    Not only fat and happy divvying up taxes, but I don't buy for a moment that many of them aren't raking in millions through both special interests and insider trading. You think Pelosi's husband earned that much as a "clean" market investor without constantly getting tipped off by his hypocrite wife? No chance.
