Biden vows to reopen Baltimore port, rebuild collapsed Key Bridge

[BluesLegend]

Republicans blocked the border from being fixed

Wrong, first no bill is required for Biden to act. Second, HR2 would give him even more budget, tools so pass it today in the Senate.

FOOL ^^^^.

Is it a surprise a Dem is lying? I mean their mouth is open.

 

[BluesLegend]

How much will Dems pocket in bribes and kickbacks on the rebuild? Remember 10% for the big guy.

 

[Doc7505]

it will take at least 2-3 months just clear the debris. They can inspect the landings on either side and see if they need to be replaced as well due to any torque from when the bridge was ripped from it.

The problem is they also need to keep the port open, and that is more important than the roadway. So a pontoon setup is out.

EPA regulations and investigations of NTSB normally a year or more incidents of this magnatude.

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.

Trump?

The guy who promised a wall sealing the Mexican border and got 45 miles built?

That blob?

 

[candycorn]

Trump is gonna argue let it fail, and claim that if elected, when he's in office he'll not only build it, he'll get Canada to pay for it​

Maybe.

But I am surprised that nobody (yet) has decided to tie the tragedy in with his IPO--to distract attention away from it.

I’m sure it’s coming.

So you like the millions of illegal immigrants in LA, Chicago, and NY and their attendant crime better? Not to mention the cost of FLYING in 320K more illegals on your dime, eh. Which was more effective at securing the border? moron. Critical thinking, try it sometime.

HR2 doesn’t come close to what needs to be done

Republican fantasy bill

Great support by our President

Trump would be throwing Paper Towels

Biden is a RETARD and I expect nothing from this clown!

We will DEPORT every last Biden illegal and secure the border.

False.

That bridge handles 11.5 million cars a year--31.5K a day --- 750 per hour (each direction average). With the three other alternatives, two tunnels and another bridge, it would hardly be a blip.

Traffic is additive, and that average ignores the impact of rush hours and then subsequent time to remove road clogs.

Then you are making people take detours in some cases of probably up to 10 miles or so, and this is the OUTER crossing, meaning you have people who have to now go PAST the old bridge, to the existing crossings, and then BACK sometimes on the other side.

You can shave some time off that due to the economic impact on the port being closed.

They will begin removing debris within a month, at least to get a channel open for ships.

That channel, however, will be strictly controlled until they can open up the entire shipping lane.

 

[Hollie]

False.

The usual spammers have arrived making this another thread dedicated to their TDS.

LOL...

Somehow violent crime is actually decreasing.

According to the Tampa Police Department's annual report that was released on Monday, violent crimes declined by more than 8 percent last year, while violent crimes involving the use of a firearm plunged by almost 20 percent.

But this isn’t about your lies....this is about the blob’s ability to get something done.

He’s a miserable failure from every standpoint.

 

[BluesLegend]

Biden "vows" to do what he's required and paid to do, like Jesus or something? Got it.

Definitely. Even with waivers from regulatory agencies, this could be a three year long rebuild.

 

[BlindBoo]

This won't be rebuilt before November.... Biden is lying....

The harbor will be open by then.

 

[martybegan]

The harbor will be open by then.

partially maybe.

 

[Winco]

What Biden said was they can’t wait that long for legal action

The Federal Government will step in and then go after the shipping company and their insurers

How does this post get a thumbs down?
