    Your post has no basis in logic.

    So all these cities that are complaining that the rental dues have to be paid are lying. I think not.

    The estimate appears high.. It appears that they charged an excessive amount because it was a republican rally. The easy solution is to come up with set procedure on how they are going to charge and make it apply to everyone.
    If you believe that, then you must have done an estimate. Show it.

    You can say that but you also have to back up your statement. Have at it.

    This answer in no way addresses the post it is answering. But hey, you got to use your right of free speech, even it it makes you look foolish.

    and I am struck by the peculiar absence of something or anything coming after the missing word spelled "because".

    actually, it's something I'm used to when dealing with lefties.

    But good luck rectifying that particular problem!

    No, I didn't, but the question put to you by another poster on expenses was met with something like "do your own work". If you, like you say, think the estimate is high what are you basing that on?

    It's just another way of saying that there's nothing after the word because.

    See, that's a problem I have with lefties. They say stuff, but they're just statements. There's no reason why I should believe what they are saying. There are no premises to the conclusion they eventually arrive at.

    I came up with how many hours I thought that could pay for and that seems like a lot more policeman than what they would need. If you don't like it, do your own or ignore it. Not a bit deal.

    I'll make it easier for you
    Your post has no basis in logic because the statements in it are false and have no basis in reality. Minneapolis has a crime problem? Compared to what other major city? If you think Minneapolis is a shithole, I wonder what your "shining city on the hill" is. What city DOESN'T have extra security when the President of the United States shows up.
    The bottom line on your post is.....you don't know what you're talking about.

    If Dirty Donald doesn't want to pay to reimburse the locations he has stiffed,then cities need to stop allowing his campaign rallies by denying them a license or permit to assemble.The campaign or one of the right wing PAC's is by law required to reimburse the treasury for what would have been normal air fare to the rally site.

    I think that whatever you think your problem with "lefties" is, is actually the least of your problems.

    Lefties this, righties that . . . when will we get tired of living like this? At each other's throats all the time?

    That said, here's something you may not realize: the majority of Americans don't like Trump. That's called a fact. Trump supporters can try to hide from it, but they are a minority.

    There is no city in the world that doesn't have extra costs when the POTUS shows up. This is not particularly required, but it's something that people understand. It's an added expense that you can either refuse or accept. Charging people to go to a city is something that just doesn't or shouldn't happen.

    I made this analogy before. Suppose a black guy wants to move into a klan heavy neighborhood where everybody hates blacks. It's going to require some additional police protection if the city is worried about keeping the peace. According to you, it's okay to charge that black guy extra money to pay for the police protection he will no doubt require.

    Seems... kinda, no!

    It's because I see a fundamental difference in how we see the world. Lefties see things that require a balance of allocated resources, and righties see things that require individual liberties. If those liberties create an imbalance of resources, it's not because of a flaw in the ideology, but rather an outcome of that ideology.

    Break things down to their fundamental level and it does get really easy to spot the lefties from the righties. Just whenever they say anything, that difference pops up without even thinking about it. Like the OWS protests where all those lefties were slumming it in the park while the bankers laughed at them. The ideology that there is a fundamental injustice to 1% versus 99% is an implied admission that they are lefties. It's just how lefties think, and everything they do flows from that ideology.

    Yes and in 2016 those same polls predicted Hillary by a landslide. Trump is prez for the foreseeable future and honesty I only really care about the SCOTUS, the Fed courts and the House and the end of the Dems fifty year reign of terror. Trump is a means to an end and that is what you and yours don't understand. The enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend.

    We’ve never had a Kenyan running for president, so this is a silly post.

    There's a lot of advantages to getting 45,000 people downtown who are peaceful and don't want to start riots.
