It’s pretty pathetic that repairing 9 bridges is noteworthy enough for the VP to be talking about. Pretty sure there’s a few more than that in this country

I agree, although I don't know the context - if she was in Pennsylvania and talking about 9 bridges in Pennsylvania it would make more sense. It seems like $300M is a pretty trifling amount for anyone to be talking about on a national level, so I'm assuming there was some kind of local slant to the speech.

Simple answer is they just don't have a lot for Kamala to do so they have to give her busywork like this.

Just a few days ago Kamala was on the 14th St. Bridge in D.C. to announce a capital improvement project for the bridge.
https://www.dcnewsnow.com/news/local-news/washington-dc/vp-harris-announces-72-million-grant-to-overhaul-dcs-14th-street-bridge/

You may recall this as the same 14th St. Bridge that years back was the scene of a horrific plane crash that killed 72 people



....which prompted Howard Stern (who was working in D.C. at the time) to call the airline the following morning and inquire about the price of a one-way ticket from National Airport to the 14th Street Bridge.

What's that, like a month of revenue for Fox News?

News: I'm told that, as part of the terms of its settlement, Fox News  will *not* have to acknowledge ON AIR that it told lies about Dominion in the wake of the 2020 election. Fox did acknowledge falsehoods in its statement. But don't expect hosts to have to read statements.

lol

She is a rare talent

^ Dan Quayle with bigger areola (or aerosol as DQ would put it).  The same Kamala who was pulling down robust 2-3% primary support totals is now one wavering octogenarian heartbeat away from 1600 Penn. Ave. as leader of the free world?...after polling a whoppin' 2-3%? 



Thx Willie Brown; solid make up call Sloop Joe B.

"What a waste it is to lose one's mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is."
