There is a portion of the world's population that is always susceptible to scams and cons and there is a never ending supply of folks looking to take advantage of them. Having faith in someone that they are good and truthful is an admirable trait rooted in goodness but come on, people. At some point the lack of basic questioning or research is more a measure of mental and physical laziness than an act of trust and faith.

Piece of shit.

Remember the internet fundraising for Walter White’s medical care on “Breaking Bad”? That’s the first thing which comes to mind when you hear about an “anonymous $50,000 donation” which lands at the end of the day!

Shut it down Trump! Dems will give in!

Ummm..as far as back records on "giving in" go.....

Dems exhibiting so much hypocrisy. Schumer and Obama both have said at one time or another, we need to stop the influx of illegals. Clinton bragged how when in the Senate she voted for a barrier on the southern border. The reason they don't want the wall now is because Donald Trump wants the wall.
I guess Dems don't want to stop 90% of the heroin that comes through the southern border. ICE has confiscated enough Fentanyl to kill every person in the U.S. And they want to abolish ICE?

Of course you know that illegal immigration has been on a strong downward trend for the past 5 or so years, right?

A wall doesn't stop all that. That's the point. Mules aren't carrying containers of heroin over the border on their back.

The vast majority of heroin that crosses the southern border comes through ports of entry. And it is estimated that all of the heroin consumed in the US in one calendar year would fit into two 40 foot long shipping containers. Your beloved wall does NOTHING to decrease the flow of heroin.

You repeating it over and over just means that you listen only to Trump and ignore the actual experts who have knowledge of the situation.

If Trump gave a shit about stopping illegal immigration or reducing the flow of drugs over the southern border then he would have used the $1+ billion that he was budgeted this year. He did nothing with it. He would rather have a problem to complain about than fix the problem.

Rarely any meaningful discussion. Just repeating the MSM talking points everyone hears every day.

Just curious, on a scale of 1-10, how effective do you think the Berlin wall was?

Effective in doing what?

As a prop for Reagan.

As far as terrorising folks: 9
As far as keeping people seperated: 6
As far as being the key plot in Atomic Blonde: 10 easy

Pick your own perspective.

You know things are really bad when the Reagan years start looking good!

Or when "W" looks damn near brilliant by comparison.
