Biden to travel to Baltimore on Friday to visit bridge collapse

President Biden will travel to Baltimore on Friday to visit the site of the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge, the White House announced Monday.

“We are with you Baltimore, and we will be there to get this done,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said when making the announcement.

Biden himself had vowed to visit Baltimore, saying on Friday he would visit alongside Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D). Hours after the collapse early Tuesday morning, Biden said he planned to go to the site “as quickly as” he can.

Jean-Pierre said Biden is continuing to lead a “whole of government” approach to respond to the collapse, which killed six people and has temporality closed one of the country’s busiest ports. She said Biden has been working with Moore to get the port reopened and the bridge rebuilt.

I don’t get what’s the big deal about having this guy visit the site of a horrific accident or tragedy. Of course I feel different if it was a president that I supported. But Biden? Please what a waste of time.

“Refloat Dali away from wreckage...”

As if this is a big deal.

Mary Jo Kopechne survived for as much as three hours, submerged, before she died.

Sorry, ladies and gents. This stuff is just infuriating for a child of a WWII vet who “got it done.”

Better yet — on that occasion, Biden will publish his composition of the new national anthem and woe to him who does clap. The new bridge will be named: Johnny Unitas overpass. A new beer will be brewed and named: Colt 19 Light.

GOP spy disguised as Dem aide, to Biden: Some people say you’re too old now to take a long running start and make it across the divide and land on the other side. They say you don’t have it any more.

Biden: We’ll see about that. Here I go.

The bridge is symbolic for the country under Biden.

Yep, the ship is his policies and the bridge is what was left of the traditions, values and hope of America.

I don’t know about anyone else but I feel so much better knowing Joe Biden is in charge of rebuilding the bridge. The 40 years he spent leaching off government has taught him how to steal millions from a project this size. Joe’s handlers will have their hands full keeping him from falling in the water. Let’s hope he keeps his clothes on when he goes for this swim.

The one he said he rode over on many times in a train.

Never been a rail system on it.

What the hell is he going to do - fall into the harbor?! This puts a massive burden on local and state LEOs who probably have much more pressing duties under the current situation.

Hopefully, Kamala will try to save him. Or push him under.
