President Donald Trump met with business owners affected by the riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on Tuesday outside a building burned-out by violent rioters last week
The president spoke with about six people next to a burned-out building that used to be B&L Office Furniture Inc. in Kenosha and told them he would help them rebuild their businesses.
"This store was here 109 years,” Trump told reporters. “Just about the oldest in the nation.”
Scott Carpenter, the co-owner of the office furniture store, thanked Trump for visiting.
“I just appreciate President Trump coming today; everybody here does,” he said. “We’re so thankful that we got the federal troops in to help because once they got here, things did calm down quite a bit.”

And Democrat politicians REALLY think that their "Trump supporters created this violence and damage" schtick is really going to resonate with Independents and moderates.
Pure, 100% desperation.

Shocker: Insurance Barely Covers Even The Start of Demolition for Destroyed Minneapolis Businesses; Costs For Demolition and Reconstruction are Far More Than Businesses are Worth; City Will Be Left Deserted and Blighted
Wait, I thought that wanton destruction and rampant looting were totes cool because the businesses were insured (and some other innocent third party, the insurer, would be damaged by the Locusts That Walk On Two Legs).
(As if a mere shift of who ultimately had to pay for the Locusts' destruction changed the fact that the Locusts were destroying everything.)
Nope.
From the Minneapolis (Red) Star Tribune:
Like dozens of other investors whose properties were severely damaged in the May riots, the Kim family was stunned to discover that the money it would collect from its insurance company for demolition won't come close to the actual costs of doing the job. Most policies limit reimbursement to $25,000 to $50,000, but contractors have been submitting bids of $200,000 to $300,000. In many cases, the price of the work is not much lower than the actual value of the property, records show.
They're blaming the insurance companies, but these nonstop "fiery protests" were permitted by the local government.
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

I think it's awesome that he went to Kenosha in person.
I hope the visit stirs up / emboldens violent Leftist/Marxist morons who are easy to catch.
Imagine how absurdly futile and ineffectual they'd be against the Secret Service.
Understand - I wish no harm to the President, at all, and only seek to flush out the miscreants.

Is it just me or does it seem that the Portland shooter situation is far too quiet.
It seems like outstanding warrants should be enough. This bonehead needs to be off the streets.
I'm sure the PPD are watching him, but decency requires he be out of circulation.

I'm guessing the Secret Service had no shortage of volunteers for sniper duty to protect the POTUS on this trip.

A co worker told me this morning that he had been arrested but I haven't seen anything about it personally

In the meantime, Pelosi is seen (evidence via security footage) visiting a salon, where salons and other businesses are ordered shut.
To make it even better, she's seen not wearing a mask indoors ( SHOCK and HORROR! ).
their real target: Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, and the rest of the Founding Fathers.
I swear their playbook is 1984.

Guess what else has their names on it? Yep, the Constitution. This all leads up to delegitimizing them and getting rid of it.

No one should be allowed to live in D.C. as a regular place to live. That's right, no one beyond serving Politicians and staff, etc.
Everyone else should Drive/Fly/Subway in for the day.
It should not have any permanent residents. It is not a State, and should not be.
Move everyone out, permanently.

But I understand DC wants to be their own state, with two US Senators, and some US Reps. I wonder why?
