Trump Admin Denies Minneapolis $500m Riot Damage Bailout Request

Legal Insurrection –

Rep. Jeff Duncan: “Governors and Mayors who ordered police to stand down and watch their cities burn shouldn’t get a penny in taxpayer aid!”

Begun as a protest against the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis and quickly devolved into riots, the rioting morphed into a nation-wide push by various aligned Marxist and anarchist groups to destroy America, capitalism, history, our very culture and our heritage.  Minnesota was ground zero for the rampaging rioting, looting, arson, vandalism, and murder spree that is still engulfing parts of our great nation.

Instead of putting a stop to the property destruction, Minnesota officials kind of shrugged indulgently, smiled benignly, and let their cities burn.  Indeed, Minneapolis officials led the way on the left’s lunatic proposal to “abolish the police,” alternately called “defund the police,” and effectively had the police stand down as violence and destruction raged in their cities.


When violence occurred, Minnesota Democrats, including Gov. Tim Walz, had the audacity to blame Trump-supporting “white supremacists” and the “far right” rather than the obvious instigators, antifa.   Even national Democrats and much of their media activist arm couldn’t get on board with such a ludicrous and obvious lie.

So now, their cities in smoldering ruins, guess who they want to bail them out?  Yep, those nasty “white supremacist” tax payers in every state in the union.  Thankfully, sanity still prevails in DC, and the Trump administration has denied their request for $500 million to fix the damage they gleefully permitted.

  1. Eat shit you communist motherfuckers. You let your city burn down. You pay for it to be built back up. Good luck finding construction crews willing to work in areas with no cops, you dumb fucks.

  2. The MN politicians would just stuff it in their own pockets and not fix anything anyway. The thought has crossed my mind that the destruction was allowed so they would have an excuse to steal more federal funds for themselves. They don’t give a shit about black people or the poor. They should be tossed out of their jobs for incompetence, and if it’s proved they have accepted money from soreass, then tossed into prison or executed for treason.

  3. ….I know Democrats don’t believe in the Constitution, but the President could NOT give them money without violating it…

    United States Constitution
    Amendment XIV
    Section 4
    ‘The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.’

    …focus on…

    ‘… But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.’

    …by the Democreat’s OWN lights, these idiots WERE in insurrection and rebellion against the United States, even attacking Federal property, and as such, the President is DUTY bound NOT to accept ANY debt associated with it.

    …you don’t pay people to attack you.

    …and the Founders certainly didn’t want to do so.

    …so, no soup for YOU, rebel rebels.

    Now go look up “autonomous”, and try to ACTUALLY do that next time, ’cause you ain’t gettin NO love from US…

  5. I would imagine that not all the residents of Minneapolis or Minnesota in general supported the policy of the city/state in dealing with BLM/Antifa and all the rest of the looters and even though they can normally be expected to vote Dem I think that Trump telling them to stuff their request may have them thinking that the Dems they keep voting for is a loser and it’s time for a change. A long shot to be sure but it just may be the catalyst for change.

  6. The old “Chutzpah” joke went: “A guy who murdered his parents goes before the judge for sentencing and blurts out
    “yer honor, have mercy, I’m an orphan!”

  7. I hope all the other leftist Governors see this.
    Ha!
    It is so nice to have a POTUS who says what he means and means what he says.
    He told them.
    I hope Empress Janet Mills sees this as she is keeping Maine shut down in hopes of $3 billion from the feds.

  8. I’m totally fed up with the phrase, “To ensure it won’t happen again.”

    In 99.99% of instances where this phrase is uttered, whatever happened that pols don’t want happening again, was completely avoidable in the FIRST PLACE!!

    Further, whatever it is pols want to ensure “doesn’t happen again” ALWAYS happens again!!

    The complicity in whatever it is that is happening is a given. The incompetence is stunning.

  9. These democrat mayors tell the police to stand down, let the mayhem ravage their cities and then expect others to pay for the damages and repairs that their support of the mob caused in the first place. Not no, but hell no!

  10. Ha ha. I love it. Not one cent to the idiot leaders of Minneapolis.

    It’s some variety of insanity that a cities “leaders” let rioters riot and loot, destroying businesses and the lives of those business owners, then demanding a bail out from the federal government. What nerve they have.

  11. A lot of these cities had already been financially mismanaged for decades.

    This is no different than running up the bills and then burning your own restaurant down for the insurance money. Classic Goodfellas.

  12. If you believe they won’t get the money eventually, I have some shorefront property in North Dakota to sell you. They’ll run to some 9th Circuit judge who will proclaim the federal government must pay for ALL riot damages anywhere they have ever – or will ever – occur in perpetuity.

  13. Voting for Democrats to run a city has its consequences! When they let Rioters loose to destroy a city, its on your dime! You need to be smarter next time. The people of your city are not going to like the new Tax increase they are going to get hit with because your such a bad Democrat leader be it Mayor or Governor! Maybe next time you will think about the repercussions prior to letting the MOB loose!

  14. It serves them right for wanting to defund and abolish the Police the City Council of Minneapolis should all resign in total disgrace they are TraItors and belong in dong life g for aiding and abetting the crinimal’s
