Biden vows to reopen Baltimore port, rebuild collapsed Key Bridge

[rightwinger]

Deflection, the first commie line of defense. LMAO You commies are pathetic.

COMMIES!
I see Commies EVERYWHERE!

 

[Rogue AI]

So leave the harbor blocked
The bridge wreckage strewn across the river
The disabled ship aground in the mess

To prove a political point?

And the point is that you're not exactly the brightest MAGAT bulb on a particularly dim tree?

Clean up and rebuild are two different things. Try not to be such a simpleton.

 

[OKTexas]

What experience has Trump of building bridges?

You know financing this is the simple job (as long as GOP don't deliberately wreak it)...

Trump was 4 years in office with every second week being infrastructure week but he signed no Infrastructure Bill (worth a crap)...

Thanks for reminding us of how useless Trump was when he came infrastructure...

'Infrastructure Week' has become a running joke on the Trump administration

Like the Bermuda Triangle or Spinal Tap's new drummer, the words "Infrastructure Week" seem to be cursed.

I Was Wrong About Infrastructure Week

As a driver must survey the damage upon barreling into a pothole, so too must I reevaluate the jagged gaps in my reporting.

So Trump talked a lot but did actually nothing...

Seriously, thanks for bringing this up and reminding us of the Trump incompetence in infrastructure...

Wow, more commie deflection. Hey commie, tell the class what experience xiden has building bridges. Come on, be VERY specific.

Clean up and rebuild are the same things.

Where does the money for cleanup come from?
EITHER insurance companies or the government.

Where does the money to rebuild come from?
THE SAME SOURCES

Funny when you pick what appears to be your argument apart it sounds just as stupid to you as it does to me.

Of course I'm the one smart enough to realize just how stupid you are.

President Biden vowed Tuesday to rebuild Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge after it collapsed into the water when a cargo ship rammed into it, echoing what some Maryland officials said earlier but adding that he expects the federal government to foot the bill.
“It’s my intention that the federal government will pay for the entire cost of reconstructing that bridge, and I expect the Congress to support my effort,” Biden said in remarks at the White House. “This is going to take some time, but the people of Baltimore can count on us though to stick with them at every step of the way until the port is reopen and the bridge is rebuilt.”
He said he spoke with Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) on Tuesday morning, as well as Maryland officials including its congressional delegation and two U.S. senators. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg traveled to the Baltimore site.


Commentary:
Thankfully, the bridge collapse occurred at 1:27 AM when there was little traffic on the bridge.
Baltimore harbor is closed for the immediate future. As someone on another thread mentioned, if only there were someone in office who had experience on getting major projects completed sooner than expected.
Actually, if Biden were smart and not so hateful, he’d offer Trump the job of dealing with the mess.
Have no fear. Pete Buttigieg is there now. Lord help us. BTW, I am sure the Big Guy will get his 10% kickback from this rebuild..
Of course we will have to buy the steel and concrete from China since America no longer manufactures these items. Just think of all those DEI jobs for illegal aliens that this accident has created. American citizens need not apply.
Undoubtedly, there is now potentially massive liability issues here regarding the ship, the companies involved.
Joe Biden's handlers might also intend to exploit this incident as a campaign ad, blaming the Republicans in Congress if they knock down his promise to have the taxpayers cough up billions of dollars to rebuild this bridge without any compensation from the negligent parties involved.
The rebuilding of the Francis Scott Key Bridge will be a DEI and minority owned business boondoggle. Parties are already positioning themselves to get their cut of the grift as we speak.
All the Democrat politicians of Baltimore will need favors, graft, pad the payroll, hire their cousins’ steel supplier (just opened! What great timing), set asides, pollution studies, DEI requirements, save the fish, safety training, abatement, bridge color survey, indigenous peoples museum for the bridge and slavery history museum for the bridge. And that’s week number one.

It's going to take 8 to 10 months just to clean up the debris... the ship also sank. Either way there's a pretty good chance Biden's not going to be around to see the bridge built because that will take an additional 3 years.

 

[OKTexas]

17 years ago .....

"Federal support has included a quick release of $5 million in Emergency Relief Federal-aid Highway funding to the State of Minnesota to initiate recovery operations. Those funds were made available the day after the disaster to help restore the traffic flow, to clear the debris, to set up detours, and to begin the repair work.

President Bush signed legislation on August 6 authorizing $250 million for the replacement of the bridge. The legislation also made available $5 million to reimburse Minneapolis for increased transit operations to serve commuters until highway traffic service is restored on the bridge. Fifty million dollars in Emergency Relief funds were released on August 9 to ensure the State's recovery efforts can proceed without delay. As the State completes the assessment of the total damage and the ultimate cost to replace this bridge, we stand ready to ensure that appropriate funding is made available to replace it. Indeed, with Congress' assistance, we are committed to making funds available to the State as they are needed to ensure that the bridge is rebuilt as quickly as possible.

While not part of the emergency response funding, we have also provided an additional $13.2 million in immediately available transit funds in connection with our announcement of Minneapolis as an “Urban Partner” under our Congestion Initiative, a broad initiative for managing surface transportation in the Minneapolis area."

Not remotely the same, no ship ran into the I-35 bridge. The shipping company should be paying for the rebuild, not taxpayers.

The bridge he took the train over? The one that had no tracks?

No they are not the same. They are two distinctly different things. Clean it up, sure, that makes sense. Do not put one penny towards rebuilding it on the tax payers until the matter is settled in court. You are either a total simpleton or just being a deceptive scumbag.

Eastern seaboard ports are preparing to accept shipments of goods being rerouted from the Port of Baltimore following the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge early Tuesday morning.
Port officials and private-sector distributors told The Hill that plans to divert cargo shipments are in the works due to the suspension of vessel traffic into and out of the Port of Baltimore.
~Snip~
The Port of New York and New Jersey said Tuesday it is working with shippers to make sure East Coast supply chains don’t buckle under the strain of losing access to the Baltimore port.
Multiple East Coast ports told The Hill Tuesday that they had extra capacity to absorb additional shipments, suggesting that effects on overhead costs and consumer prices could be muted.
~Snip~
representative for the Port of Philadelphia said that any excess of automobile imports shouldn’t pose a problem.
“Philadelphia has a ‘roll on, roll off’ terminal, our vehicle processing center where we take imports of Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis vehicles, so we have the skilled labor with the Teamsters and [International Longshoremen’s Association] already trained in handling those cargoes,” Ryan Mulvey, director of public affairs at the Philadelphia port, told The Hill.


Commentary:
Indeed, the loss of Baltimore due to this shipping accident is devastating to the City of Baltimore, it shouldn't pose grave issues for the U.S. overall.
The East Coast of America has many deep water seaports able to handle the overflow created by the loss of Baltimore.
Most importantly the closure of Interstate 695 is problematic and that route is necessary for shipping hazardous materials.

I'm just a guy relying on the facts.
You're the one trying to pass off crap as a chocolate sundae.

Can you rebuild without cleaning up?
No?
Then the two are part of the same process.

It seems you're too stupid to process mor than a single thought.

Yes, of course

So what? Let everything settle out before putting the taxpayers on the line. Shippers and receivers are going to find alternates, let the whole thing play out and the market will decide. Baltimore may very well never get the business back, so rebuilding the bridge would be a waste of money.

No, you can clean up and never rebuild. See how simple that is? Moron.

The loss of Baltimore as a Seaport is no great import. American was blessed with many East Coast deepwater Seaports from Maine to Texas.
Yes it's devastating for the City of Baltimore and the State of Maryland, but in the scheme of import and export nothing that can;t overcome. Then again Baltimore is a den of corrupt Democrat Neo-Marxist racists that need a comeuppance.
Thomas D'Alesandro, Nancy Pelosi's father is smiling down upon the corrupted mess he helped create in Baltimore.

 

[OKTexas]

He said Train or Car....

Fucksake, this is your problem... Biden must have solved everything else..

He said he "crossed that bridge many, many times, by train or by car.". That was an outright lie. That bridge had no capability to carry a train. Stop lying to defend xiden's lies.

.

 

[Lastamender]

Nope...

Biden heard that a bridge was hit by a ship and collapsed...

He probably didn't ask if Rail or Road bridge before sharing it with the poublic...

But you want to focus on this and give his predecessor a pass on saying COVID will be gone in 2 weeks while been told a totally different story by his experts....
I am perfectly happy with Biden's level of detail and slight error consider his expediency, Are you happy with his predecessors level of accuracy?

Really, when he said he took a train over it many times? Biden has made you look very stupid. But you have helped.
