I predict this ‘thing’ will never be usable again. How effing embarrassing.

One got destroyed in a storm 2 weeks later on 19 June 1944, the other one lasted about 6 months.

Half the supplies were landed directly on the beach, the other half one Mulberrys.

The portable Pier used on D-Day was a good idea too, but it was ineffective because of the weather and changing seastate is workin out on the gaza rig too.

“$320 million for that little thing?”

Dies that include all the money spent to get that contraprion overseas? I have a feeling some nefarious importation of gazanians is going to occur with this pier in place, simply board the ship that’s bringing the supplies and get transported to the United States and with all the fringe benefits at their disposal.

Seriously, and it doesnt seem like it should cost a fraction of the 300 million dollars Bidens boondoggle cost. What an embarrassment. 300 million spent and its no better than something you could get from home depot or a marine store for maybe $100k.

When I was there, we saw waves breaking where the spray went 30 ft in the air.
Not usual but it appears not uncommon.

Never underestimate Joe Biden’s ability to f*** things up.

Note to Joe:

Take a long walk on a short pier!

Hmmm. High rise beach front condos in a “refugee camp.”
