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.

    I’m not doing any more homework for you, when your bad faith attempts at propaganda are that lazy.

    Not clicking any more of your links and shit either dude. Have a nice day.

      Ah yes, the famous propagandist’s trick of saying “Oh hey you’re right, let me edit my comment to reflect the new reality I just learned about.” I see them do it all the time, it’s a hallmark.

      Quitting while you’re ahead for the moment, instead of being willing to delve into any of the other issues surrounding the claims you were making, does seem pretty wise though. I’d probably do the same in your position. Have a good one.

        Sorry I generally don’t read you’re replies, lol. I’m sure you can guess why.

        Buh bye now.

        Every time I interact with them it’s a wall of text and links and it’s all fluffy propaganda bullshit.

        Sorry, but I’m just not into it.

          Some call this supporting evidence and nuance. Complex issues don’t always fit into catchy little zingers and glib sound-bites, as much as Fox News would like you to believe. One should not object to the length of a given piece of text, rather one should object to the contents. If you think what he said is a pile of crap, let’s hear why.

              If it’s so plainly bullshit, you should have no trouble refuting it. Just asserting “it’s bullshit” doesn’t leave the readers any smarter.

                I blocked them, I can’t even see their comments anymore. Do your own homework 👍.

                  So, instead of actually debating in the open, with someone that’s surprisingly showing you a tremendous amount of patience and respect- you block them for providing evidence that supports their point?

                  This is VERY telling.

      Are you intentionally framing your thoughts and opinions in the most insufferable way possible? If so, why?

      It’s like you could’ve made a decent point but then tried really hard to make it as disrespectfully as possible

        You think I’m here to entertain you or something? If my points are good, take them. If not, fuck off.

          That’s the thing, we can’t tell if they’re good or not because of your poor communication skills and shitty attitude.

          It’s clearly a skill issue. lol

      You can just say, “I don’t have any valid points to make, sorry bye” instead of this absolutely pathetic comment. Talk about bad faith…

      Wow! This is the exact same thing even says to you seemingly everyday. It’s almost plagiarism!
