As historic wildfires raged across the Hawaiian island of Maui over the past two weeks, claiming hundreds of lives and scorching thousands of acres, President Joe Biden managed to take two vacations, padding his record of over 365 vacation days since taking office.
Facing significant pressure to do so — especially after an early refusal to comment on the disaster — he cut short his second vacation at a billionaire's mansion in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, and made his way to Maui on Monday.
His reception by some survivors of the wildfires was anything but warm.
The environmentally conscious president and his nearly 30-car motorcade went on a five-hour tour of Hawaii, passing disgruntled residents who jeered him, yelling, "Thanks for nothing!" and "Go home, Joe!"

The MSM is not covering the booing because they’re just as dreadful as Biden and his drug addicted whore monger son.
Yep, and the "F--- Joe Biden" chant was loud and prevelent. I loved the people who had "No Comment" signs.
“Joe has dementia but he has had this pathological need to play one-upsmanship for decades. It is the mark of an insecure person.”
I think many people to show empathy try and show a comparison of experiences to display that empathy. Not a one-upmanship—but trying to relate the pain someone is going through even though its not on the same level...
For example—The fire in Paradise—We were not personally affected, but I would say in truth that we could see the fire plum over our tree line and that it rained big bits of ash onto our property—thus a connection to that horrible disaster even though we were not physically affected.
I would not say that that example is the mark of insecurity, but relating a connection (perhaps tenuous), to show emapthy...
another example might be—a tornado—people who were not affected might say, “Oh yes, we saw it—it was roaring like a frieght train and the cows were spinning the in the sky...”
I think many folks do the same
The question is—where is that line that is a pathological one upmanship and why do some people feel the need to practice that?
Just a question and observation...I heard the resident yesterday and found it quite cringe worthy.
“Sure having your kids burnt alive is bad, but I almost got paint blisters on a vintage C orvette!” .
I’m sure all the late night talk show hosts will be mocking Biteme for that....NOT!
Yeah but he’s RICH!!!
My fave Biden lies:
I almost lost a house in a fire, my wife went missing, and my ‘67 Corvette ended up on e-bay.
I didn’t know about my surviving son Hunter’s business when I lent him AF Two, gave him a multi-lingual SS detail and a Rand McNally World Atlas.
My son Beau died in Iraq in combat, we brought him home in a flag-draped coffin and buried him in Arlington.
I met Mandela when he was in prison and I was a fact-finding Delaware peanut farmer.
I used to drive a truck for a living before I found out the real money is in politics.
I met Jill on a blind date after she and her husband worked on my campaign.
Perfect Biden.....kudos.
“he will carry Hawaii by at least 15-20 points.” Maybe even more. This is a DemocRAT state. All national officials, Senate (2), House of Representatives (2) the governor and huge majorities in both houses of Hawaii government, very powerful and large unions.
Biden took a very long time to even acknowledge the fire much less do anything about it. Like when Obama’s granny was on her death bed and obama took 2-3 weeks to rush to her side.
