It's a good indication of how much $1 billion really is and how much they've raised so far. Maybe they can hit up the Kochs or the Waltons or the DeVoses for some money.

Pretty soon, pledges will start rolling in any day now from:
• Soybean farmers in the Midwest;
• GM auto workers;
• Harley-Davidson workers and customers;
• GE assembly-line workers;
• Coal miners;
and all the other people who voted for Drumpf two years ago, and have been waiting for their enormous windfall. Probably right after they get their YUGE tax refunds.

I don't trust them and the % that actually goes to the victims is pretty low. I do give for disasters though, to the Salvation Army or Catholic Charities.

You have to be dumber than a rock to give to anything with Trump's name on it.

Maybe now we will see how many true Trumpers that Trump has in his base.

it still couldn't be built without congressional approval. I don't what traitor's wall even if it's free.

Anyone who contributes to that silly fund is stupid enough to vote for...never mind.

A $25B border wall that can be circumnavigated is a boondoggle waste of precious resources, not to mention the long-term environmental impact it'll have.

But I'm happy to see RWNJ opening up their pocketbooks. Once drained, maybe they'll begin to work with others on a solution, instead of their MY-WAY or the Highway mentality.

Thu Dec 20, 2018, 04:57 PM
Dec 2018

$12 billion / $60 = 200,000,000 people would have to donate $60 each.

RepubliCONned suckers can't begin to think about math or even simple arithmetic. It's all emotion.

$12 billion = $12,000,000,000 which has a lot of zeros.

congress would have to pass a law authorizing the wall. which isnt going to happen.
if they just donate the money they cant specify where its going to be spent.
in theory it could be used as a downpayment for medicare for all
