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.

I have 5 pennies I can loan you. I'll charge you a 120 million % interest rate for every half second you have it. Okay?

Err, never mind, a think I'll buy a sure penny stocks (500,000 shares at 5 cents). It would be a better deal... 😋

The Mayor of Minneapolis could have asked his own governor for the National Guard but no, he'd rather have taxpayers in other areas pay for his agenda.

No Bailouts for Failed States!

I think most of my fellow Floridians will join me in kindly declining Minneapolis’ request for monetary assistance for this most unnatural, self inflicted disaster.

Federal loan like Illinois just took out at 3+% I have no problem. Free cash, pound sand.

Not so much as a single dime of my money. They can finish burning down the rest of this miserable state for all I care.

Minnesota and Minneapolistan are two completely different worlds.

Partner, I did not know that the "America Hating Nasty Piece of Work Obama" had put in all of those Mooselimbs in Minneapolistan.

We can correct this obvious mistake very quickly be getting all of those Mooselimb Somalians and sending them back to where they came from.

Unfortunately, they don’t think like that. I hope the pressure stays on them now; they can experience the world that they created.

ESAD, Mayor Soy Boy.

Let him ask George Sore-Ass for the money.

Because we know Mr. Soi here doesn't have the balls to, you know, sue him or anything.
