President Joe Biden admitted during his Thursday NATO press conference that his plan to attach a temporary pier to Gaza to deliver aid was a failure. “I’ve been disappointed that some of the things that I’ve put forward have not succeeded as well, like the port we attached from Cyprus. I was hopeful that would be more successful,” he said. The pier, which cost at least $230 million in American taxpayer funds, was operational for approximately 20 days and delivered about one day’s worth of food, according to one report. Biden announced the pier with great fanfare during his State of the Union speech in March. It took more than 1,000 U.S. troops to implement, with many of them deploying from Virginia to construct it.

I thought it was $300 million. Where’d the other $70 mil go?
The big guy always gets his cut
could have given 2,300 American citizens $100,000 each and changed their lives forever for that much money
That’s OK; it’s not his money.
Just like his policies
He should be in a nursing home
Wait...for the first 3 weeks of reporting it was a $320 MILLION DOLLAR PIER
You know how the Government “Roundup” function works. Bill Gates put in Excel at the government’s request.
Ten percent to the Big Guy, ten to Hunter for bail, a little to the Adult Diaper Lobby, it adds up.
1,000 troops to build it? It looks like a commercial contractor could deploy it with a crew of 50.
It’s hard to imagine that even including tourists, construction workers and maintenance staff that a dumber box of rocks than Joe Biden and Jill Biden has EVER walked through the venerable structure.
It’s like from the start they set out together to destroy America and intentionally become for all eternity the most despised, destructive and hated couple to ever occupy the White House.
It was not a failure. It successfully laundered hundreds of $ millions.
Interesting, ... it sure was successful at giving Bibi a hard time, and costing American and Israeli casualties...
“”I was hopeful that would be more successful,””
Wasn’t it Hillary who once said, “Hope isn’t a plan.”
When you’re out of slits...
“”for the first 3 weeks of reporting it was a $320 MILLION DOLLAR PIER””
$320M - $230M - just a little transposing of numbers....
hey, he’s still got some connection to reality
it mayn’t be much, but it is still there
It’s a good thing money grows on trees and can be thrown around without consequence. They reach directly into our wallets at will.
Why does this remind me of THE PRODUCER (where he sells more then 100% of his show and it fails no one will check the books). So the question is, who authorized it, who got paid, and just where did the money go? (Oh, did the “big guy” get his 10%?)
