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.

    So I’m confused…

    You think this will be fixed quickly and taxpayers won’t have to pay for it?

    Because that’s not what Biden said…

    Have you read the link yet?

      See there you go again with your weird fucking posts, who are you even talking to? You’re having a conversation with yourself and trying to stir shit up. Very inauthentic behavior.

        You said:

        Nah you’re full of shit

        So I elaborated on that comment you replied too…

        Did I misunderstand and your comment had nothing to do with what I said and just a drive-by insult?

        I didn’t want to assume the worst the first time. But two in a row I gotta ask.

          Oh look it’s his partner in crime, I’ve seen you doing the same. Sow your dissent elsewhere.

        So just random drive by insults?

        You know that’s against the rules of pretty much every community, right?
