coconut surf mommy is on the scene
In the second video, the white guy she talks to starting around 6:09 describes the water being shut off.
@OrangeJuliusEvola what's the local opinion on Tulsi's visit?

You all can try to blame this on the elites all you want but other than their racial and economic policies, they weren't directly to blame.
It's morbidly obese, almond-brained natives who have been installed in leadership positions who routinely fail at their basic responsibilities.

You gotta admit it's more than a little sus that Officer Vegas Shooting ended up in charge of Maui Police after investigating himself and finding no wrongdoing

If that's the case then the state should lose its independence and become a territory again. A state can't be so incompetent as to bring down the rest of the country.

The stuff im getting on the homes that "miraculously" survived the burning is eye opening.

Gabbard is a remarkably polarizing figure in local Hawaiian politics, and is currently an unelectable persona non grata due to her pissing off the national DNC to no end with her presidential run. Her father Mike Gabbard has been deeply involved with local politics since the 1980s and controversial for his intimate involvement with a creepy religious cult that's a split off of the Hare Krishnas. More on that here:
Mike Gabbard is currently a State Senator in a safe seat. He's currently a Democrat, but got his start under the state GOP and has flipped party affiliation multiple times (this was common in the 80s and 90s when local politics was heavily driven by personal charisma and the Republicans weren't yet non-entities). Back in the 90s he was one of two people responsible for the success of an anti gay marriage constitutional amendment to the state constitution. That whole campaign has been memory-holed, along with all the media that aired. Of interest was a commercial from the period that had Gabbard and his family talking about the slippery slope of gay marriage with the then teenaged Tulsi saying that she wouldn't marry her family dog (I shit you not, that commercial is pure lols material). Try as I might, I cannot find any online source for those commercials. They were online once, I remember seeing it a long time ago, but it's all been wiped.
In regards to the link above, fuckery certainly did occur. Mike Butler, the cult leader, was almost certainly operating the boat that killed that diver, not the guy who was eventually fingered for it. It was known to operate at prohibited high speeds in near shore areas, and the diver they hit had up floating dive flags that announced he was in the area.
Oh, and I haven't even got into both Gabbard's links to the Indian BJP, though that really doesn't have anything to do with local politics and is basically unknown except to political autists like myself.
As for on the ground locals, they tend to like her. Unlike most modern Hawaiian politicians, she actually has a personality and charisma and isn't part of the Democratic mainstream here. I do think she actually cares, but that she has a lot of beliefs and ties she keeps quiet about. It doesn't really matter, her political career is dead and she knows it, she's mostly just a pundit and media personality now. Part of me thinks the immolation of her career was intentional. Her father groomed her since she was a child to advance his own political ambitions that stalled out at the state level, including a failed marriage to the scion of a political family from the Philipines who is also a cult member. Now she gets paid handsomely for far less work and can just surf and chill.
Also here's some interesting things about Maui Police Chief John Pelletier:
He was selected over a slate of candidates that included officers and officials with decades of experience in local law enforcement. This breaks from local tradition of almost always selecting from within, but given the context of the times, it's not completely fishy. Chief of the Honolulu Police Department Louis Kealoha had been recently convicted of abuse of power in using the HPD Internal Investigation services to falsely arrest and charge his in-laws over a property dispute in which it was proven his wife had falsified documents and stolen and evicted her own damn grandmother from her home and used the proceeds to continue living a lavish life. She also protected a drug mill doctor from investigation and prosecution (she worked in the State Attorney General's Office). As such, there was impetus to hire from outside.
That said, Pelletier is very unpopular amongst the rank and file at MPD, from the fact he was selected above popular local candidates who were qualified for the job and his own unprofessional and inept behavior for which he's being treated with kids gloves:
This is really only one small peek into things. I truly do live in a fucking Banana Republic and have for most of my adult life. In my dreams, King Kamehameha comes back to life and drives all these corrupt incompetent fucks off the cliffs of Nuuanu like he did in days of yore.

Not to mention the said house and its contents were saturated in toxic smoke from everything burning around it, and the power and water grid for it is in ruins, likely means its uninhabitable for the forseeable future.
As for political donation statistics, well, we're a democratic supermajority state and West Maui district is very blue even within the state. In this state, many Dems run unopposed, or only opposed by a Libertarian or Green candidate. What Republicans that are here in the State GOP are never-Trumpers.
Fucking Twitter pundits are complete garbage and I'm tired of them posting shit that 30 minutes of googling would adequately explain. The people getting screwed and the people doing the screwing here all voted for the same politicians.

This isn't a political issue in the context of the R vs D duel and the Uniparty battle. The stuff here is a lot more old school, power and money corruption without the ideological shit that has become par for the course for the last 15 years in the USA.
The closest political point to be made here, if people wanna insist on it, is to point out that being a Dem supermajority as blue as it gets didn't do shit when it came to FEMA and the Fed caring about it. These people were hung out to dry and told to pound sand the exact same way the deep red MAGA country in East Palestine got. In the end they are all just serfs as far as Washington D.C. is concerned.

I know the American president is just a figurehead, the country is run by others but... can we do something about Joe Biden? Keep him away from the public entirely, maybe use a body double that isn't completely senile for rare appearances? Replace him at the election with a better actor?

Can't even be bothered with a simple "our thoughts and prayers are with the victims" I hope the Hawaiians let him have it assuming he actually goes

About 9 or so months ago my husband was reading up on dementia/alzheimers and found that a tactic to deal with relatively advanced dementia patients was to distract them with ice cream. Isn't Biden's favorite ice cream chocolate chip? THAT'S the key. He probably doesn't even notice the squishy butt diaper, only the people around him notice the smell and maybe the irregular walk.
The people that yell about accountability are yelling into the wind. I'm old and I've seen for decades that there will never be accountabilitiy for politicians' nefarious deeds and/or purposeful incompetence. The people will continue to suffer under governmental governance until they are deprived of their distractions: drugs, sex, internet, shopping and basic necessities. The people of Maui are feeling some of that now, but the reality is that they will have no power to effect any real beneficial change. The system is dying and it should. It's demonic.
Prep your people as best you can and deepen whatever faith you have. It will serve you better during the Apocalaughs.

I really do loath people like this as much as humanly possible.
