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.

Rochester, New York was asking people to volunteer to clean up after the rioters. I wonder how many showed up.

Back in the days of a stronger, moral and united America, parents held their children accountable for their behavior. Make the perpetrators of the damage responsible for it.

No federal aid to cities and states that allowed and encouraged rioting.

#4. Give the mayor Frey a 50 penny filled bank wrapper and tell him to shove it up his ass.

It might cause some more brain damage but it can’t much worse than what he is suffering from now.

No federal money for the Marxists and fools of Minneapolis.

As for the state’s wackjob of a governor, Witless, give her a filled bank wrapper with half dollars and tell her to shove them where the sun don’t shine. No worry about causing any brain damage. You can’t damage what is already beyond cure.
