Biden appears to be approaching the devastating Maui wildfires like many of the challenges he faces – by turning up late and not knowing what’s going on. The 80-year-old finally deigned to address the wildfires, four days after originally trying to sweep the tragedy under the rug with ‘no comment.’ Admittedly, it was tacked on to the end of a speech about economics in Milwaukee. He remembered that there was a fire somewhere in Hawaii, but that’s about as far as it went. ‘The army helicopters helped fire suppression and efforts in the Big Island,’ said Biden. ‘Because there’s still some burning on the Big Island, not the one, not the one where you see on television all the time.’ We’re sure that rousing speech filled the residents of Maui with optimism. It wasn’t a day completely without achievement though. Biden managed to invent an entirely new word, which isn’t something most of us could claim. Having said that, we’re not exactly sure what ‘bipartisaflucschhhhergendwichərrrʳʳʶ’ means. Our best guess is that it’s some new drug they’re giving him at the care home.
