    I think the inability/unwillingness to work together is a symptom of a governance illness. We're definitely a healthier country when representatives in opposing parties can negotiate agreements on issues on which they do not see eye to eye. But the only rules are the ones written out in the Constitution. By the same token, there is no "supposed to" for Trump to sign the funding bill to end the shutdown either. Let them fight until one side or the other can't take it anymore.

    The head of the crowdsourcing campaign is following in the footsteps of Trump, himself.

    I know you were asking Os...but for me personally, I learned absolutely nothing new about trump supporters. This is exactly what I would expect of them and the outcome is exactly what I thought would happen.

    Imagine caring about this and spending your hard earned money than actually carrying about genuine systemic concerns such as corporate legal bribing through campaign finance and lobbying.

    Turns out much of the negative press was wrong (including in this very thread). As far as support, he's doing what he said he would do and people believe in the project (even if you don't).

    What's so hard to believe?

    Half a mile of wall not even fully complete. Half a ****ing mile... Great progress. Dude, this is purely a scam. Keep in mind that this can only be done on private land.

    How do you define scam? Cause it looks like exactly what he said he would do...build a portion of a wall with the funds given.

    As far as 'great progress', what were your expectations for a project that has about 6 months since inception and earned 22 million? I'm actually surprised he's gotten that much done that quickly given the push back he is continuing to get from those dead set against the idea.
