Hopefully, no one was hurt and this will shift the narrative to how absolutely critical the infrastructure bill is...a bill that Biden pushed through. If there are truly no injuries, the DNC needs to use this in ads all over the country.Wow, hoping no one is injured.
this is interesting…
“Coincidentally, the collapse happened just hours before President Joe Biden is expected to speak in Pittsburgh about his historic $1.2 trillion infrastructure plan.”
They should run ads promoting a bill that has already passed?Hopefully, no one was hurt and this will shift the narrative to how absolutely critical the infrastructure bill is...a bill that Biden pushed through. If there are truly no injuries, the DNC needs to use this in ads all over the country.
That is a fun fact!Fun fact, that's a few blocks from the Steel City alumni chapter
Think he means for those running for office this year as part of their promo efforts.They should run ads promoting a bill that has already passed?

Yes, because they are getting hammered on an economy that grew over 6% last year, wages that increased over 6%, and unemployment rate under 4%. Don't ask me how these got turned into a negative, but it seems to have happened.They should run ads promoting a bill that has already passed?

10 minor injuries, 0 deaths. I can't wait for the cons to take credit for the money Ole Joe is bringing to the burgh to repair theses bridges, and you know they will. The area this happened has walking trails, mountain biking, ect. A beautiful area 8-10 miles from the Pitt campus.Wow, hoping no one is injured.

It was last inspected in Sept, 2021, with a smaller weight reduction. Around 14 k vehicles use this 400 ft + bridge daily.The inspection records and those that do them would be an interesting read.
honestlyit should be used ESPECIALLY if there was injuries.. If there are truly no injuries, the DNC needs to use this in ads all over the country.
Maybe Pennsylvania is like Iowa and they cut inspectors on such things to save $$$?The inspection records and those that do them would be an interesting read.
The only Dems who voted against the bill were progressives like AOC and “the squad” - Pressley, Bush, Omar, Tlaib, and Bowman. And they didn’t vote against it because they opposed infrastructure spending. They voted against it because they were pissed off that it wasn’t coupled with their social spending bill that included things like paid family leave, daycare, etc. They felt like House leadership acquiesced to moderates who were willing to vote for transportation infrastructure but not social infrastructure.They absolutely should use this against every Republican who voted against the infrastructure bill
And quite frankly this should be used in the primaries against the Dems who voted against the infrastructure bill.
Absolutely.They should run ads promoting a bill that has already passed?
Where is OIT when we need him?Wow, hoping no one is injured.

Sounds like we need to elect more republicans so they can pass more tax cuts.
What if it has passed all inspections and wasn’t even on the radar to be replaced ?Maybe Pennsylvania is like Iowa and they cut inspectors on such things to save $$$?
Or they falsified records?
Sure. Like they did in Minneapolis, one of the biggest Liberal shitholes on Planet Earth, but only 13 Liberals died when their bridge over the Mississippi went down, so no biggie. Instead they have plans for a 3rd light rail at 2.75B, so the SW part of the city can have the free homeless and criminal shuttle brought to their doorstep. Just what the world needs, more multi-million dollar trains no sane person would step foot on.They absolutely should use this against every Republican who voted against the infrastructure bill
And quite frankly this should be used in the primaries against the Dems who voted against the infrastructure bill.
They didn’t hold anything hostage and they didn’t delay any votes. House Dem leadership tried to couple the transportation spending with social spending. They couldn’t convince enough moderates to vote for it so they decided to move forward on just the transportation bill.I know why they voted against it. The problem I have with that is that they held something they knew we needed hostage to try to get more.
That's the left wing version of party over country.
You just know some looney will claim this was done on purpose to punctuate Biden's visit and make his point.Where is OIT when we need him?
They voted against it because they were allowed to. Had their votes been needed for passage, you can bet they would have voted in favor. Pelosi knows her shit and had the votes counted ahead of time. She gave them political cover since they weren't needed.I know why they voted against it. The problem I have with that is that they held something they knew we needed hostage to try to get more.

Your usual hot take.If only we had free daycare and universal pre-K and nationwide wifi, this bridge would still be standing.
What are "real average hourly earnings"?From December 2020 to December 2021, real average hourly earnings decreased 1.9 percent, seasonally adjusted. The change in real average hourly earnings combined with no change in the average workweek resulted in a 2.0-percent decrease in real average weekly earnings over this period.
Fewer people working than prepandemic, making lower real wages.
Why isn’t everyone ecstatic?
What could it be?
False Flag Friday report is surely incoming.Where is OIT when we need him?
That all the Republicans voted against but are now touting...They should run ads promoting a bill that has already passed?
