After Mayor Pete heard they tried to port-round him, his reaction was...

"is that like a reach-around?".

Why not the ship owners pay?


Don’t know if the owners, or more rightly, their insurers have that kind of money. 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.

>>>> Anyone else would have left it in a heaping mess?

If we were a Republican state you could bet your a$$ he’d leave it in a heaping mess. Just ask the folks in East Palestine, OH.

Didn’t the cargo ship have insurance? Why is Joe telling everyone the feds will pay?

Who owns the bridge and port, and, do they have insurance to pay for repairs and rebuilding?

This is one of the most stupid things to come out of his mouth. There are potentially massive liability issues here regarding the ship, the companies, etc.

His 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.

Just Biden buying votes, of course it will take years to build the bridge. All the politicians 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 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.

I thought states and local governments pay at least some of the costs for projects like this.

Trump would. 🤔. NOT! But, he was likely responsible.

Gotta shower tax money largely taken from conservatives to shower payoff benefits to his Maryland BLM cronies and supporters.

It’s what Dims do.

What is the alternative??

I’ll tell ya.

Start the clean-up and wait for Trump to win re-election for the rest.

The new 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.

It's not it is the only road in Baltimore. Traffic...stuff happens....deal with it.

A couple runs and you'll know which is the best route for you.

Boy....if only we had 1000 troops who could build a temporary pier for transferring goods

That’s going to happen… it is happening. But, eventually a bridge will need to be reconstructed.

And I’d wait for Trump to oversee it.

Sometimes patience is indeed a virtue.
