  1. Who is gonna pay for this? You and me…the taxpayer. Totally “off the rails.”

    What do they use to mine the Blood minerals for the battery? Diesel. How much pollution does it cause to create the battery and the bus? A lot. Whats gonna happen to all the gigantic batteries that contain toxic heavy metals? Who cares, right? The only thing good about this is if the bus company's keep their electric buses for 23 years, then they Might start to reduce the carbon footprint it created in the first place. Blow jiden is a disaster and an embarrassment.

  3. There are 750,000 school buses in the United States. Each new electric school bus costs $800,000.00. You do the math.$600,000,000,000.00 to replace all

  4. Now, let's see these new buses go FIRST to the poorer communities, not the wealthier neighbourhoods. (But we all know who is going to see these busses, first. 😤)

  5. IF YOU CAN't GET PERMITS TO MINE FOR THE ELEMENTS NEEDED BECAUSE THEY LEAVE 2 TIMES THE CARBON FOOTPRINT THAT THE ELECTRIC CARS DO, THEN WHY ARE WE PUSHING ELECTRIC CARS RUN BY LITHIUM BATTERIES….IF THE LITHIUM BATTERIES CAN BURST AND CAUSE A FIRE THEN WHY IS THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION PUSHING FOR THESE LETHAL THREATS? IF THE DIESEL FUEL RESERVES ARE BEING DEPLETED TO DANGEROUS LEVELS THAT WILL STOP ALL OF OUR INTERNAL TRANSPORTS OF FOOD AND GOODS, THEN WHY IS BIDEN BEING ALLOWED TO DO THAT? IF WE DRILL NOW OVERRIDING THE POLICIES THAT SAY WE CAN't . AREN't WE SAVING OUR NATION? IF WE SLEEP WITH OUR DOORS CLOSED IN OUR HOMES TO KEEP US SAFE, WHY WERE THE BIDEN POLICIES IMPLEMENTED TO GO AGAINST OUR IMMIGRATION LAWS THAT PROTECT US ALLOWING THE DOORS AT OUR BORDER TO BE LEFT WIDE OPEN ? DOESN'T THAT POSE A SECURITY THREAT FOR ALL OF AMERICA? WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LAWS THAT PROTECT OUR CHILDREN FROM PEOPLE WHO CORRUPT THEIR MORALS AND ARE BEING ALLOWED TO INFILTRATE THEIR INNOCENTS WITH ALL KINDS OF PERSONAL SEXUAL IMMORALITY AND BEING USHERED AND INDUCED INTO THEIR EDUCATION. THAT WILL CAUSE LASTING IMPLICATIONS AND CONFUSION..ALL OF THIS IS CAUSING FEAR AND VIOLENCE IN OUR COUNTRY…WE MUST VOTE TO SAVE OUR NATION WE MUST CLEAN THE HOUSE AND GET RID OF THE DIRT…WE ARE ALL SICK OF THIS CRAZINESS… WE CANNOT LET THIS CONTINUE TO DESTROY OUR VALUES OF RIGHT AND WRONG.. WE MUST TRY BY VOTING THESE CORRUPT INDIVIDUALS OUT!! YES WE CAN!!

  6. There are no limits to the evil in this Satanic regime against our children but there is justice to be paid for all sinners against God in Jesus Name from the Most High’s judgement. I pray daily for our children that they may not be led astray from the Satanic terrorists destroying our Country. In Jesus Name that the demons are defeated in Christ Jesus. Green is full speed ahead for Lucifer. Green represents the Green Man – the Goat God Pan.

  7. STOP THE MADNESS!!! Now

  8. Electric buses are not a good idea, a simple battery failure will soon turn into a barbecue event that you can’t stop….!!!

  9. $50 billion for war and eco terrorism, and $1 billion for green buses. Someone's losing ground.

  10. FACTS NOT THE DEM TRUTH
    DEMS are the insurrectionist promoting Communism and dividing our country with CRT, DEI, Cancel Culture, Race Hate and White hate. The DEMS are the violent and Racist in this Nation and until the Patriotic DEMS kick out the DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST who hijacked their party they will never hold a Government Leadership role again lets get back to the compromising table and move this country forward
    NOV22 VOTE EM OUT

  11. FACTS NOT THE DEMS TRUTHS
    It's already started China Joe is allowing the Chinese government the CCP to establish overseas police stations in New York City
    China Joe has already open our US borders to the worlds criminals and our enemies allowing them to come in unabated helped by the UN and distributed throughout the US at night under the cover of darkness, China Joe caused the Oil/Gas shortage so he can buy from his Tyrannical friends, China Joe Left Millions of High Tech Equipment and thousands of rounds to his friends the Taliban
    I Wonder what China Joe will do next for our enemies, his masters
    Isn't this how other counties where taken over? Just wondering
    LOOK IT UP

  12. FACTS NOT THE DEMS TRUTHS
    The President of the United States is compromised by our enemies

  13. MO MONEY PLEASE – SPEND SPEND SPEND ALL BY DESIGN Capitalism must fall before Socialism/Communism rises
    * Make money and spend more American dollars will devalue the dollars we do have – Economics 101 –
    * By a continuing process of inflation, the government can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens John Maynard Keyne
    * We will rebuild the U.S. economy and fundamentally transform roles the government plays in American life – China Joe
    * The goal of socialism is communism Vladimir Lenin
    * Don't underestimate Joe's ability to F**K things up X-Presidente the ObamaNator

  14. "Trust because you are willing to accept the risk, not because it's safe or certain." -Anonymous

  15. burn more tax payers' money, we love inflation

  16. Keep spending it like it were to become a weapon of mass destruction.

  17. Follow the money…….How many politicians are connected with the bus manufacturer?……..Another complete scam by corrupt politicians

  18. Empty words with Nov. 8 the only concern. Patronizing people for a vote. NOV.9-16 all the empty words and broken promises will be seen

  19. Does Biden give the money straight to China for this “Deal” or is Hunter the middle man?

  20. What a waste of taxpayer money. Y’all know we don’t have the grid for that….instead of snow days, schools will have “rolling blackout days”.

  21. I'm glad the Biden administration is investing the money. I would hate to think it would have to come from the taxpayers.

  22. GREEN SCHOOL BUSES ? WATCH WHAT HAPPENED TO GREEN CARS AFTER HURRICANE IAN. THEY BLOW UP WHEN WET. YOUR PRECIOUS CARGO COULD GO UP IN FLAMES.!!!!

  23. Wait for one to catch on fire

  24. What wrong with yellow busses? A billion dollars that is a lot of green paint. Only biden would do that. Now I wait for the American who doesn't get the joke.

  25. What do they use to mine the Blood minerals for the battery? Diesel. How much pollution does it cause to create the battery and the bus? A lot. Whats gonna happen to all the gigantic batteries that contain toxic heavy metals? Who cares, right? The only thing good about this is if the bus company's keep their electric buses for 23 years, then they Might start to reduce the carbon footprint it created in the first place. Blow jiden is a disaster and an embarrassment.

  26. Don't park them close to the school and keep them at least 50 feet apart in the yards. They don't like salt.

  27. You idiots, make better busses to take the kids to slaughter houses. Really good priorities there, Imagine what 5 billion dollars could do to create better security for innocent children.

  28. Try to make everything based on electricity, it will save the country's economy in terms of expenditure.

  29. Yeah let's get the busses and not focus on the education of the kids on that green bus.

  30. Dems must win the House. And if they can win (add) 2 more Senate seats this Nov, Manchin and Sinema won't matter much anymore.

  31. This will cost a fortune and the tax payers can't pay for it!!

  32. Why not produce school buses which use a pantograph to draw power to run. Reduces battery cost, less weight to haul around and most school buses run within their county. Easy to maintain and the same infra canbe used for other public transport buses as well.

  33. What about school defense from shootings?

  34. Maybe if the school buses were more efficient less children would miss school because of something out of their control.

  35. This is absolutely awful. Because the first time I heard this conversation was … 2008. This is a decision that should have taken fourteen minutes to make and fourteen weeks to implement, not fourteen years. I mean it's the right thing, but if this is the fastest we can move against an existential threat, we should all just lay down and die so societies with a clue can make a go of it.

  36. What a complete waste of MY MONEY

  37. In Obama’s second term his husband ruined school lunches. And now with his third term he’s going to ruin the ride to indoctrination camp 🥴

  38. I hope they add A/C & heating bc most busses kids are burning up in or freezing.
