Taxpayers in Washington are footing the bill for a $270,000 paint job to refresh "Black Lives Matter Plaza" as violent crime in the district has spiked 40% since last year.

Everything going on these days is FUBAR.

Living conditions are getting worse, homelessness, drug addiction and crime are zooming, we have an invasion from the North and South, and politicians keep pouring gasoline on the fire.

Did the painting of Black Lives Matter on the street, not have the intended effect?

Didn’t the government officials in Washington, DC, want to help the self esteem of black youth, by showing them how their lives matter????

Was an oppressed minority company hired to paint it, or did Hunter get the job?
I’m guessing one of the Biden Brother’s shell companies got the contract, for a bid of 2-10 million dollars.
