It's the Paradise fire cause all over again. So tragic.

I'm surprised we haven't had a lot more of fires and similar events this 2023 northern summer.

The current streak of 36 consecutive days with global 2-meter temperatures exceeding previous records appears to have come to an end for the time being.

They've only identified 2 out of the 96 recovered bodies

Sis, out of all the sources you use to show his (objectively bad) comment you use….that? You could at least use a normal journalist and not RNC Research (haven’t you used QAnon Twitter sources in the past in comments dragging Biden too?)

It was literally the first thing that came up. You complaining about the source doesn't change the fact that his revealing, senior moment comments are objectively bad.

 

It's not like the RNC even editorialized on what he said. It was the quote itself. End of.

 

And frankly, at this point, even QAnon seems to have more human empathy than the sociopathic moron that we currently have an office.

 

EDIT: I searched it again and ONLY right wing commentators are even acknowledging that this happened. Democrat-friendly publications are sweeping it under the rug as they always do.

I seen Yashar Ali post the video (but he somehow deleted it) yesterday, that’s why I said something. 
 

Now sis I agree it was a horrible comment, but we don’t need to use Q and GOP sources

so... what so what sources am I supposed to use if the non-GOP sources get bullied into deleting it and covering it up???

Super devastating.

I saw that. As the ultimate cynic I'm not sure how far to break this down.

 

Like literally my mind went to the number of electoral delegates in Hawaii.

 

Anyone for whom this is a make or break weren't planning on voting for either Biden or Trump already.

 

Unless we're talking about cancelling out some small fraction of the tens of millions that never vote, but there's little way to quantify that.

I was there earlier this year. I kept thinking what a peaceful paradise it is. A perfect tourist town and a former kingdom capital with historical heritage. Heartbreaking that this happened, and so many lives, homes, businesses were totally wiped out  I can’t believe it

Yeah, Democrat voters on the mainland don't give two shits about Hawai'i. Even here, the fact that "the source" gets attacked rather than the substance when there are no better sources and no Democrats even want to discuss what a heartless bastard Joe Biden is because "AT LEAST HE IS NOT TRUMP" when it didn't have to be this way. We didn't have to have a senior with a melted brain and zero empathy remaining in his body as president. But the DNC and South Carolinians forced this choice on us.
