Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey will seek state and federal aid to rebuild city structures following over a week of looting and rioting, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported Friday.

Some 220 buildings have been damaged and require at least $55 million in repairs, the city’s Community Planning & Economic Development department said earlier this week, noting that the city was “not yet ready to produce a credible estimate.” City Council members warned that the costs will likely be far higher, while Mayor Frey said damages could reach into the “hundreds of millions.”

He’s the one who chose not to do anything to prevent the rioting, looting, and arson, he should pay the bill or maybe he could beg those financing Black Lies Matter and Antifa for the money.

Does anyone remember when Obama did not aide Texas during their drought and fires?

Pepperidge Farms remembers...

Hell no. You didn’t want President Trump’s help in any way. That should include federal funding. Go knock on China’s door for funding.

Lets NOT forget that the accidental fire that almost destroyed Chicago, didn’t get a red penny from the Federal gov’t. Maybe we can learn from this.

Maybe the Hollywood crowd and Kaepernick will cover the expenses.

I don’t mean Minnehahapolis getting something for riot damage from the next Corona Balogna stimulus bill, rather than whatever general aid would be forthcoming to individuals and businesses for COVID-related problems. I want NO money in NO bill going to Mayor Beta’s city for riot recovery.

The mayor held the cops back. The looting and destruction were “justified” by the city pols. The damage is their own doing. And they want the rest of us to pay for it? I think that is called chutzpah.

He did nothing to stop the looters, and it wouldn’t surprise me if he enjoyed it. And now he wants the rest of us taxpayers to bail him out? No way.

No. They should start a GoFundMe and anyone who cares can donate. Look how much was raised for George Floyd.

Yeah, right. Go create a go fund me page. The dems propelled this crisis, for an anticipated political gain and now seek to be made whole. This should be the definition of chutzpah.

And, the rebuilding of Chicago after that fire was basically a volunteer effort, with the call going out for as many able-bodied MEN as possible to assist in that rebuilding.

Before or after you dismantle the police who you did not allow to STOP the damage? Good luck you freaking Marxist a@@hole.
clean up your own shite, and watch what few private businesses are left... leave your town. Don’t come to the US and ask us to prop up your regime of thieves.

No the coddling of the criminal under class.

Keeping people enslaved by government programs.

Insisting people are not responsible for their own behavior.

Is far more responsible for this mess then the so called racism of the police department.

They have been talking about “defunding” the police in Minneapolis. That would be an appropriate way to raise the 55 mil. Do it. Then don’t come crying to the rest of the nation about the Right Wing caused lawlessness in the city.

Start a GoFundMe. Ask Jeff Bezos or Mike Bloomberg or Michael Moore or all the Hollywood celebrities. But I beg President Trump, I BEG PRESIDENT TRUMP not to give them a cent. This is how they do it: spend money they don't have and then syphon from the rest of us to pay for it.

Tell them NO! Please, please, please...
