Quote HistoryQuoted: The pier is designed for operation in sheltered harbors that have been knocked out of action due to natural disasters or warfare. Parking it on the eastern med with no shelter or breakwater puts it at the edge of its operational capability in normal conditions. It's only designed to work up until state three, which is not much of a sea state. The people who decided to employ this equipment in this manner are the ones responsible. It's like ordering someone to engage a 500 meter target with an MP5. Nothing wrong with an MP5, but it's the wrong tool for the job.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzzVyuPnMHkTheir is a reason harbors are enclosed on all sides. Only a fool would build a floating pier straight off a beach and not expect it to be washed away by the sea....... |

What I wanna know is, who did the assessment
For the Egyptian striped mud snail, the middle eastern sand turtle, creased tally whacker snake , albino kiwi snipe, black spotted red striped sea cucumber, and spotted owl in the time since October to allow this pier to be built in this time frame. I want the full bidding and contracting approval timeline posted publicly because there is a chance that a minority business was not allowed to bid on the work resulting in “old white men” being paid to do it. Additionally is the hastily constructed pier fully ADA compliant? Do the drive up ATM posts have brail letters for blind drivers? Are the stop lights color blind compliant with beeping crossing indicators noting what intersection people are ar , as well as special bumps to aid the blind pier visitors. Furthermore I’d like a full environmental impact study to be conducted to document and explore the impact of this pier on the mating grounds of the eastern Mediterranean grouper fish. Im asking for this because I care about the earth and want to make it a better place.

Biden wanted to be the HERO that saved Gaza with this fucking pier idea when they are much easier and economical ways to get actual humanitarian aid into Gaza. They wanted to do something flashy and greenlit this pier bullshit.
Of course, this idiot had no idea what to do with any aid that would be delivered via this pier system, and relying on the UN is another sad layer of failure. The UN support of Hamas has been proven many times over by now. In a way this pier is a perfect representation of Brandon's foreign policy record

Decisions being made by political operatives in the State Department who have zero real world experience. Just like the chaotic pullout from Afghanistan. Why have the evac from Bagram when there is an airport closer to us at the embassy in the middle of a city. Lets have Bagram come to us, but we can't take all the weapons, so just leave all that behind. |

Biden's entire career is filled with making the worst possible decisions and implementing the worst possible "solutions." Obama only took him on as VP for insurance . . . he thought it looked good to have an old white man as Veep when an old, white man was his opponent (McStain). By all reports he considered Biden a colossal moron and screw-up.
I don't know if he's the worst president in history - just because America has had a lot of really bad ones - but he's definitely in the top three. I'd for sure put him at #1 in terms of presidents who hate America as founded . . . even above Obama. |
