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.

    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.

      Oh- so you really, seriously don’t even know how the power grid works… This conversation is even funnier than I realized ;)

        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?

          Oh, Canada stopped burning fossil fuels and went solar in your head. That sounds nice ;)

            Well here is where we get to the differences between you and I. I don’t agree with Canada’s actions in terms of climate policy. I’m not afraid to criticize my sitting government, in fear that a fascist dictator is waiting in the wings. I don’t have to bite my lip and vote for record oil production. Or genocide.

            Now, like I said, is there anything else we can clear up in one comment or less?

              Oh so you think you’re good as long as you give lip-service to renewables while soaking up that sweet Biden oil. Yeah that’s pretty typical.
