A far-fetched online fund-raiser shows the lengths to which Americans will go to circumvent the country’s broken systems.

Yep, it says our politicians are worse than useless.
“Virtuously” protecting criminal invaders who prey on tax paying, law abiding citizens through ID thefts, assaults and enrolling in an astonishing number of every gimme dat program said politicians have told them they are entitled to.
And all the invaders have to do is vote the way those pols tell them to because as ovomit told them - “you won’t get in trouble if you do vote illegally.” (probably paraphrased)
At that rate how long to reach the goal?
I’m a proud deplorable that donated to the wall fund
Merry Christmas to you and yours as well.
It says the system is hopeless broken and that the people are not being listened to.
This country is so far into the toilet that I feel we will never recover.
What it says is, people are tired of being ignored by so-called govt leaders. We are taking matters into our own hands and THAT is what pisses these RATS off.
Exactly
I am going to give money to it even if I know it is either going to be returned to me, or sit in limbo forever.
The Atlantic should be called ‘The Toilet’. It is full of crap.
There are too many variables at work
It's basically nonlinear
Have to see how it plays out over the next few weeks
See if there is any week to week growth, ie acceleration.
Worst case if its flat then 60 weeks gets over the $1B goal.
I guess Princess Mandy didn’t think the ‘far-fetched’ GoFundMe account for “Doctor” Ford and the her anti-Kavanaugh Mob was over the top.
“circumvent the country’s broken systems”?
Those illegally breaking into this nation are the circumventers, lousy Commie DemonRatbastard
>>It says the system is hopeless broken and that the people are not being listened to.
This is the secret behind Lyft-Uber-etc and AirBnB. Hotel and taxi taxes are too damn high. And it is globally a problem, these services aren’t just in the US.
Why does Houston have highest hotel tax in nation (17 percent in 2001)?

Playing with the numbers a bit it would take around 12 million
donors at the current rate. Possible with right efforts.
Thanks ...
“AND it says that Congress and the Federal government is utterly and hopelessly corrupt - We the People have ZERO confidence in our government and court system.”
BINGO thank you now I don’t have to comment because this says it all. Merry Christmas.
The only “broken system” is our politicians, judges, and bureaucrats who take an oath to the constitution and then refuse to do their job, purposefully and with malice aforethought. F them.
It shows how stupid Americans are with their money when they are willing to feed uncle Sam some more undeserved cash. Come on people...the federal government is awash with cash already. So sad. Merry Christmas!!!
