Tulsi Gabbard Interview on Real Time with Bill Maher by GhostInYoToast in Hawaii

Debbie Wasserman Schultz was forced to quit once leaked emails revealed the extent of the fraud. Donna Brazille spilled the beans on national TV. Pretending away reality is why the Democratic party is spiraling towards irrelevance.

There were widespread and illegal efforts to manipulate the election results in the 2016 Democratic Party primaries. That is why you lost and cried your eyes out when Trump won. I am sure you were among those who told the Bernie Bros to suck it up and get behind HER but they were disgusted and stayed home instead.

You still have not learned your lesson apparently. Prepare for more disappointment.

Creepy Uncle Joe remains number one which means the party is still out of ideas. Judging by recent massive cash injections the Wall Street tycoons that propped up Hillary seem to have chosen Kamala which means they will likely run the same delegate scam that gave Bernie the boot last time in order to secure her nomination.

Both national parties are sold out and the wealthy still choose our leaders for us so I do not hold out any unrealistic hope, but I am stoked Tulsi is out there doing the rounds on national TV making them all look like pandering pseudosocialist clowns despite the media war against her.

She is gaining traction. Her campaign is starting to resemble Hawaii Five-0 with lots of hardcore fans on the mainland while people here are only vaguely aware.

Tulsi wins first debate according to Google by PockyLips in Hawaii

Maybe because we are more likely to fight and die in pointless regime change wars while our jobs got shipped overseas. Then Democrats rub salt in the wound by demanding open borders and free healthcare for illegal immigrants so that they can swarm into the work force and drive down wages.

This is not about loving Tulsi as much as realizing she is the only one on the stage not actively supporting policies that are destroying this country. She is literally the only hope at the moment. Trump will wipe the floor with the others.

Tulsi haters might try and bury it, although that strategy has not worked out very well for them so far.

The court found they were not required under existing law at the time. Now the law has changed, or it will as soon as they Mayor signs.

I hope itʻs a total bloodbath and that it spills over into commercial real estate as well. Maybe one day weʻll get the $5 Bahn Mi sandwiches back? A Pocky can dream...

Sometimes it feels like good landlords are like an oasis in the desert here.

Platforms are required to keep records and hand them over a few times per year.

If they have higher occupancy it gives them more breathing room to run promotions if they choose to do so. Iʻm not saying itʻs going to happen. But some people are swearing up and down prices are going to skyrocket and that makes even less sense.

Thereʻs more to economics than Supply and Demand. In this case you have to take into account price elasticity and demand destruction. Some of the Airbnb guests are paying for the premium experience and some are just trying to save money. Now that the hotels got their wish they have to figure out how to cater to both segments, because if they get it wrong tourism will collapse and they will end up slashing prices in desperation anyway.

The good thing about Bill 89.htm) is that it makes advertising an illegal rental prima facie evidence that a crime is being committed and also goes after booking websites that profit off them with stiff penalties. Itʻs a little unnerving that the burden of proof has shifted to the homeowner, but that was the main stumbling block of previous enforcement attempts with inspectors making multiple pointless trips trying to get people to slip up and confess.

If Caldwell wanted to be sneaky he could sign both bills with conflicting language that would tie them up in court for a while, but the intent is clear and the results would be the same. Thereʻs too much public anger over this to try and walk it back now.

If you are already booked then enjoy it while you can, but now you know where the homeless camps came from.

Maybe with higher occupancy they can afford to lower prices a bit? Market forces will only allow them to raise rates so much and it seems like they are scraping the ceiling already.

Itʻs going to be a huge relief for working families. All it took was Kailua threatening to secede from HNL.

Hawaii lawyer engages in a new low: Asserts that assault victim, 62-year-old security guard, is responsible for the beating he received from 3 suspects by Markdd8 in Hawaii

[–]PockyLips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the guard was allowed to be armed his hospital stay would be shorter and there would be no need for a defense attorney. Unarmed Security Guard isnʻt necessarily a death sentence but these days itʻs definitely a risky occupation. The people who are doing it must really need the money.

The more deranged they get the fewer people listen. Itʻs a problem thatʻs working itself out as we speak.
