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.

    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
