Minneapolis Mayor Asking for $55 Million Federal Bailout

Minneapolis Democratic Mayor Jacob Frey is ordering city officials to begin a wide-ranging query of the damage done to the city’s infrastructure from the race riots that began last week after the death of George Floyd, planning on requesting a federal bailout for the city to repair the damages done by “protestors.”

Curiously, Frey seemed a lot less concerned about the economic and property damage impacts of the race riots when they were actually happening.

Even the Democratic Governor of Minnesota, who proved almost equally inept at preventing mass destruction and controlling the volatile situation, slammed Frey for his refusal to deter the large crowds of criminal rioters, calling the city’s response to the riots an “abject failure.” Frey rebuffed suggestions to deploy the Minnesota National Guard before caving and giving in.

“”’Should read “Minneapolis” and not “Minnesota”.””””””””

Thanks for clearing that up. Now I won’t have to send them to your house to riot and loot.

Minnesota and Minneapolistan are two completely different worlds.

Why should taxpayers pay? How about asking the looters and criminals to pay for what they did?

F Mayor Jacob Frey. Not one damn penny. Trump, quit feeling sorry for these rotten communists and tell to go to hell. No reimbursement for the virus, you have given enough of my tax monies. The communist Democrat voters elected this garbage.

But the people of Minneapolis wanted CHANGE.
So they worked hard to turn their city into a smoking ruin, filled with burned out buildings and starving unemployed refugees. Who are we to interfere with their vision of Socialist Utopia?
This is what they wanted, and I think they should have it.

How are things in your Minnesota town? I’m sure a lot of us would appreciate a report from ground level.

My father was born in Minneapolis, although he spent most of his youth in Buffalo. Still rooted for both the Bills and the Vikings though.

Stay safe.

I hear the Floyd GoFundMe is near 10 million so there’s a start.

It would be a _federal_reserve_ bailout. DC doesn’t have any funds to do most of what it does. It just has _reserve_ create money from-thin-air.

All bailout requests of DC are money from-thin-air requests.

The Blue states and cities are parasites. Don’t subsidize them.

$55 million. That’s all? There are 5.64 million Minnesotans. $10 a head. He’s got his money, easily and painlessly.

Zimbabwe on the Prarie deserves no federal money for damage resulting from self induced riots.

NO! NO! NO! This whole thing was started by the Minneapolis police force. When rioting started, Minneapolis did nothing to protect their resources. If you don’t fight to keep your assets safe, I don’t want to pay for it.

You are NOT going to get OUR tax money to fix your failed city due to rioting/looting by blacks/Godless white youth who blame everyone else for their problems except themselves, only to let it happen again in a few years.

You might as well come and just kill me now. Go to hell.
