Old Joe Biden Says He Took Train Across the Collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge “Many Times” – That’s
Maj. Bill Martin:
--- Quote from: 240B on March 26, 2024, 10:31:05 pm ---With Biden, every news event, every tragedy that happens to anyone, anywhere, happened to him first.
Everything is all about him and his life experience.
Any terrorist attack automatically reminds him of how his son died in Iraq fighting terrorists.
Everything and anything involving first responders, reminds him of how he almost died in a kitchen fire.
The point is, no matter what is going on Biden always manages to pull the topic back to himself.

It's probably the most common way during the workday. I lived in Maryland for a few years and made the drive north with some regularity. You can take the southerly route through the peninsula along route 301, then cross at Annapolis, but the traffic at the Bay Bridge can be a nightmare. I think I only went that way once or twice. Or you can take 95 straight through Baltimore, but that can be horrendous too, especially during rush hour. So 695 and the Key Bridge are sort of the safest route traffic-wise because it bypasses the worst of downtown Baltimore.
Although if you're going by train, I wouldn't recommend it.

Most trains encounter difficulty on motor vehicle-only roadways. Just sayin'.

Joe Biden Tells a Huge Whopper to Make Key Bridge Collapse About Himself
MATT MARGOLIS | 2:55 PM ON MARCH 26, 2024
Just before 1:30 a.m. on Tuesday, the container ship DALI struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland, causing it to collapse. Eight people were reportedly on the bridge at the time it collapsed, and at least six people remain missing as a search is still underway.
Joe Biden has spoken about the incident and is already saying he wants the federal government to bear the cost of rebuilding the bridge.
"It’s my intention that federal government will pay for the entire cost of reconstructing that bridge," he said, "and I expect to — the Congress to support my effort."
It seems a bit premature to be talking about rebuilding the bridge and discussing how it will be paid for while people are still missing, but that's Joe Biden for you.
