The reason a secure border wall has not been — and may not be — built is not apprehension that it would not work, but rather real fear that it would work only too well.

US government partially shuts down over border wall row.

The partial closure, the third of 2018, means hundreds of thousands of federal employees will have to work unpaid or be put on temporary leave.

I doubt Trump will be short of a few dollars though.

And just to remind everyone: Trump said he will take the hit and not blame democrats.

Seven days in and it's slowed down a bit, now at $16 million and climbing.


Maybe it's just the pitch, we need Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to get behind the wall as a way to keep rich people from fleeing once we've gone socialist and anybody with two cents to their names has had their passports revoked. :03:

Which is quite a ways from the quoted 5 billion required. It'll never get funded this way.



I'd like to think that people who have all this extra money to help fund something like this are also heavy contributors to other actually useful charities, such as cancer research.

I'd like to think people have the right to spend "their" money in whatever manner pleases them without some sanctimonious input from others. :up:

You do understand that there is still no clear way how this money will ever be used for the walll? "Having contacts" in the White House means nothing, since it's not the WH that decides for the funding of the wall.

Well said. I think they're just scared at the thought that support for Trump is still strong enough among the people that it can raise that kind of money. It doesn't fit their Pravda nor bode well for their efforts to replace him.

Trump often says things that are not true. :03:

So 16 million and slowing. Let's make a pie chart that shows how that works toward the eight billion dollar wall Trump wants. You have a very long way to go.

I'm not being sanctimonious at all. Just practical. As has been recently pointed out many times, this fund raiser is no more than a dead end. This will never hit a amount raised where it will be effective. I would like to think that most contributors know this. If they do, great, but I'd also like to think they would have other charities that they donate too, what ever they may be, ones that might have a chance at making a difference in the world.
