FEMA is offering temporary shelter in hotels and motels, federal workers are registering residents for a $700-per-household payment for survivors, and the government is working with community-led groups to reach all residents no matter which language or other barriers, Biden tweeted Monday.

Biden and Hawaii Gov. Josh Green (D) spoke Friday after the governor had surveyed the destruction, and Green provided an update and assessment of the state’s needs. He praised Biden on MSNBC after he signed the emergency declaration hours after Hawaii asked.

Being a Democrat means nothing is ever your fault.

Meanwhile, predatory developers are harassing property owners to get them to sell. If Biden doesn’t approve funds for rebuilding, it is a good bet he will take a cut from realtors for future sales to millionaires.

It cost $700 a night to stay in a hotel on Maui.

Biden to aide approaching his beach chair with updates:
“Look, leave me alone. I don’t care about Hawaii. It’s like they’re a state or something.”

Harder to grift Hawaii.

Biden will give the money to Zelensky instead.

Hawaii is in Bidens pocket so why should he care. Biden cares only about Biden.

Even the Compost is eventually going to have to publicly admit what’s going on here.

The sooner they accept that, and do it, the better their chances of survival are.

Some of the richest people in America own homes on the island, but it’s the taxpayers giving them $700?

Isn’t it intriguing? 🤔 Just after the Maui fire, the governor is already hinting at the government acquiring the charred land. Remember, locals were pretty firm about not selling

What was offered to Fort Myers Beach, FL when a hurricane, a REAL not manmade disaster— flattened the place. Every dewelling and structure? Not what this poopy pants moron catering to his donor class of “environment protecting” preservers of burnable underbrush never cleaned... for the “environment”. Forestry 101, idiots.

The overattention to the loss of 93 people who unfortunately could not escape— because they had not the means of enough warning or many other factors. Prayers for them and their families, probably many good people.

JoeBama is a cynical constantly lying schill of shell personality— zero inside if it doesn’t move his own “emotive” fake face. All the while a perv, and very stupid man, for his entire ripoff life.

Hawaii Senator Brian Schatz can’t even hide his smirk as Maui burned. He’s seeing dollar signs for huge Democrat donors (Oprah, Zuckerberg, other billionaires) who will scoop up the land and steal it from native born Hawaiians

All done according to plan, first they burn it down getting rid of the town residents by any means necessary, than they swoop in and grab it

One source today who claimed to be in the crisis meetings on the island, said the number is more like ‘above 500, less than 1000 dead.’ They also said most were probably children. Because of the hurricane watch, schools had been let go and the children were at home. They had no warning... the emergency systems seemed to have totally failed so they expect to find many children when they finally get to digging through the dwellings.
