A citizen effort to fund a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border has passed $4 million on its GoFundMe page, a whopping 0.4 percent of its $1 billion goal. President Donald Trump has demanded, unsuccessfully, that Congress appropriate $5 billion for a wall. Estimates of a wall to span the entire border range from $12 billion to $25 billion, according to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Trump, respectively — not to mention that Trump long promised, improbably, that Mexico would foot the bill.

    I felt bad for the suckers who got sucked into, e.g., the Trump University griftgraft. Those people really were idiot suckers trying to better their own lives.

    I don’t feel a microgram of pity for the hapless racist buffoons who are throwing their money at such obvious fraud. Part these fools from their money faster. You won’t hear a peep from me.

  3. Some things are beyond revulsion. This regime and it’s spittle dripping supporters must be utterly destroyed.

    The baby has pneumonia now.

  4. A fool and his money are soon parted.

  5. So that’s what, about $50k after trump and his clowns take their cuts? That’ll go far…
