How the fight over the Gordie Howe International Bridge reveals a quiet shift in how infrastructure, treaties, and executive power are being used as leverage.
OMG, can this be any more embarrassing! Sorry for nice new bridge in place of that privately owned one down the street! Let's go ahead and talk out of your ass on what you deserve from somebody else's work! Isn't it shame that USA has hundreds of bridges need of repair instead that toddler Donald has no problem building his golden ballroom or messing around perfectly good buildings because it doesn't meet his petty needs. There dumb and Donald J Trump class of stupid that he doesn't have pay out of his pocket! He need to pick everybody else's.
Thank you for your reporting and analysis of what's been going on behind the scenes with key flex points in our infrastructure, and the deeper implications. Even though we all know what we're dealing with, the scope of the mendacity, cupidity, and lawlessness of this administration is still mind-boggling. I think of it as rapacious obstructionism.
Delay is an important tool in the dictator's toolbox. Give me what I want, or I delay or stop your project (yes, that is extortion). Meanwhile you can't delay my prisons or my destruction of American institutions such as the White House or the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts because I have the power.
The corruption of this crook has no boundaries and no limits. Who would have thought we would ever see the level of welding power that we are seeing! Good information, never would have considered all the things that come into play and the effects with such move. Can it get any more embarrassing for us as a nation???
There is no point making agreements with the Trump regime. He will change and break them on a whim. That unpredictability is destabilizing the American economy, which is on the skids.
Trump will not survive the midterms, he both looking to suppress the Epstein files, and is likely attempting to maximize the stream of coins falling into his personal piggy bank. Emphasis on piggy.
So trump spent taxpayer money to have the bridge built and is now just going to keep it closed? Can you say fraud and waste???? He fraudulently wasted our money so he could use it as leverage for himself. He's probably already told the Canadians what he expects in a bribe to open it. F*cking grifter.
The orange stain doesn't care about keeping Canadians out. He wants to keep Americans IN. I'm pretty sure that's why he wanted to build a wall, too, just like the Soviets did for East Germany. Bet he planned to plant mines and build guard towers, too.......on the American side of that wall.
…because if Trump can benefit from or leverage something so that there is something in it for him, he will.
Because it doesn’t have his name on it….
You beat me to, I came on here to say the same thing
Stunning bridge. Thanks for highlighting America's unfair dispute over its opening.

Humans, especially disturbed humans, view this world from their own biased perspective. Their emotional injuries distort their view.

A secret meeting. A phone call. Big donations. High-paid lobbyists. Nothing to see here.
