Nope. Try starting a Go Fund Me account.

Corporate America has given billions to BLMarxists.

All damage self-inflicted, not one penny to this POS. Maybe he should ask for reimbursement from BLM, the Clinton Foundation, or the DNC...

Why hasn’t other governors requested the same.

California was torched...

Well, not the Fairfax district in Los Angeles. Nothing happened there...

I love the smell of burning blue entitlement in the morning. It smells like victory!

We can give you a discount on some nice statues. Other than that, F off!

Why should my taxes pay for damage that needn’t have occurred? When the Police are told to stand down and the National Guard aren’t called up and Federal assistance to regain law and order is refused — then why should this burden be laid on taxpayers who choose to reside in states run by mentally sane people?

I have zero sympathy for these states. This wasn’t a tornado or hurricane or earthquake. It was a failure of leadership on a grand scale. Abysmal Democrat leaders elected by Democrat voters who will never learn that they get what they vote for.

You can bet your last $ that any “financial assistance” handed out to these Marxists will be used to further their cause.

I think the Soviets wanted to be included in on the Marshall Plan i.e. they wanted the USA to pay for the reconstruction of the USSR after the war they had triggered in September 1939 with the joint invasion of Poland? Fortunately, folks had more sense back then.

So now, tax payers coast to coast, are “federal partners” thanks to the pride and ineptitude of the Minnesota politicians. They earned the damages, let Minneapolis and Minnesota cover the costs.

Sue BLM

They’ve got the cash.

In fact BLM should be offering to repair the damage to black cities and businesses by their very namesake... and yet they’re not.

The gall. This is self-inflicted damage - they can suffer the consequence of their scew-ups.

NO WAY!

Businesses normally have insurance that covers losses and allows them to rebuild.

Dumbass Governor is moaning about losing tax dollars and wants US taxpayers to pony up for losses. He and the Mayor did nothing to stop the rioting, arson and looting.

The last report I saw by the ME said there were no signs of injury on GF that could have caused death. He had opioids and fentanyl in his system, as well as heart and arterial problems. .....His death was his fault. Police only held him down after he began resisting being put in the car.

If you encourage rioting by doing nothing... Forget it!

"Why hasn’t other governors requested the same..."

Indeed. Why have other blue governors not beaten up MN governor and taken his money for birthing the video shot seen 'round the world? Thus starting the blue dominoes tipping?

I'll sneak Coumo's in via WI and hold his coat....

BLM = Business Leaving Minnesota.

American taxpayers are to rebuild and restock your stores so looters can return and steal everything again now that police you hate will no longer be present?

Your irresponsibility allowed this damage. Unless the governor, Minneapolis mayor and council resign, the same lunatics in charge will stand by and let this destruction happen again.

We are not your “partners” in anarchy. You called down the thunder. Behold your bitter results !

Black Lives Matters is taking in BIG $$$ donations.
Seems like they should be sued and forced to pay for damages.

They have taken credit for the riots.
