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 think he should be sanctioned for aiding a genocide, let alone the crime against humanity that is record oil production during a climate crisis, but much like you, my voice doesn’t matter.

      Yeah, I get that you’re conflicted about being so grateful to someone you also think is aiding a genocide. Sounds like a tough spot for you. Maybe you should stop using so much of that sweet Biden oil? Or maybe you’re just not THAT against genocide? You’ll wiggle out of it somehow ;)

          But you’ll keep enjoying that sweet Biden oil no matter who genocides who… seems like you’re just not that serious about opposing genocide.

            That’s a strange takeaway from this. I’m sure your parents are disappointed.

              lol- what other takeaway is there? You love oil, you kind-semi-want-to-hate genocide but you really need that oil.

                Me: stop producing and using oil and oil products!

                You: boy, you sure do love oil lol ;) ;)

                I’m sure normal people can see my frustration here.

                    Boy do you have a lot of catching up to do lol.

                    I don’t think your lack of education, reading skills, or general knowledge about the world is very funny. But I’m sure the other kids in the remidial class are just as nice as the other kids.

                    Anything else we can sort through real quick or are we done here?
