Nah bro. Look at the vid again. The bigger (fatter) suited black guy actually risks himself to make sure she doesn’t fall.

Another on of Biden’s bridge repairs roads not much better.

Right out of the movie “Volunteers”. Never would have happened had Tom Tuttle built it.

Generally, I have noticed that African blacks are far more honorable then their American counterparts.

That POC was made from plywood, glue, PVC, and curtain rods. No matter how much money was given to build it I am sure corrupt locals stole 75 percent. That’s how building projects go.

A bunch of Syrian “refugees” and some real refugees from the DRC arrived in my hometown at about the same time during the dark days of Obama Time. The Syrian men were arrogant and rude, blocking sidewalks and grocery aisles as if they owned our country. The ladies from the DRC were super sweet and kindly, generous to a fault, extremely polite and so grateful to be here.
Guess which bunch we kept. Those DRC ladies are hard workers, too.

It looks like the ribbon was the best support that bridge offered. She cut the ribbon and the bridge collapsed. Next time just skip the ceremony and duck under the ribbon as you cross.

I suspect that people are drawing the wrong conclusion here. All structures are designed by engineers with certain limits in mind. This was a bridge for foot traffic, not main battle tanks. It's quite possible the bridge was compentently designed and built for the intended purpose of a modest amount of foot traffic.
What it wasn't built for was a crowd of pudgy bureaucrats and politicians stacking themselves up body-to-body the length of the bridge. Without knowing more it's hard to say whether the bridge designer and builder is at fault for not warning those planning the ceremony, or whether those who planned the ceremony are at fault for ignoring common sense any warnings and overloading the bridge. But the bridge designer and builders may well not be at fault.

Everything I saw built in Nigeria looked old and used from the day it was finished.

Water plant failure in Jackson, Miss., Urban blight in Dem run cities, collapsing bridges; they all seem to have something in common but I can’t quite put my finger on it. Can anyone else?

After the one Black guy seems to push her aside to save his own skin. Um, it’s Africa. They’re pretty much all Black guys there.

The saddest part of this is that Joe Biden will give them a $500,000,000 “infrastructure improvement grant”.
10% for the big guy!
