President Biden is set to unveil a nearly $5 billion investment into dozens of infrastructure projects throughout the country on Thursday during a visit to Superior, Wisconsin.

The investment targets 37 major infrastructure projects throughout the country across at least 12 states, with much of the funding going toward repairing and building new bridges. Among the investments is $600 million to replace the 1-5 bridge that connects Washington and Oregon, $372 million for the Sagamore Bridge in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and $1.06 billion to replace the Blatnik Bridge that runs between Wisconsin and Minnesota, which is near where Mr. Biden is set to appear for the announcement on Thursday. White House principal deputy press secretary Olivia Dalton called this a “full-circle moment” for the president.

New bridges are woke. Stop new bridges from grooming our children!

Im just gonna pull out an old conversation from highschool that kinda fits this.

“The hell is that?” -Me

“A suspension bridge?” -Friend

“No, thats a penis nbridge.” -Me

“Their building penis bridges to turn the freaking kids gay!” -Other friend across the room

“See, I aint the only one.”

For quick context he was playing cities skylines on his laptop and was messing with the terrain tool. The reason he was doing that is cause the power was knocked out by lighting, so we were all waiting for pickup.

Typical libs, spending tax money on woke infrastructure and satanic public improvements. Trump was going to have an even better infrastructure unveiling unlike anything anyone had ever seen, but the libs had to ruin it with all their voting and subsequent transition of power.

It was just two weeks away, the biggest and best infrastructure project in the history of ever, believe me.

I’m with you. I would much rather have satanic infrastructure and woke public improvements. I also propose we start calling polling places “Gay Polling Locations,” too.

I am all for Infrastructure.

Though $600 million for that I-5 bridge over the Columbia River seems very low. The Narrows Bridge across the Puget Sound cost like $800 million in 2007 and I feel like that was a smaller project. I am sure there’s some sort of cost matching with WA and OR funding involved but that in particular caught my eye having personal context to that bridge.
