I am afraid that women appreciate cruelty, downright cruelty, more than anything else. They have wonderfully primitive instincts. We have emancipated them, but they remain slaves looking for their masters all the same. They love being dominated.

Any changes to predictions on this topic in light of DJT mentioning he won't push for a shutdown before the midterms over wall funding?
I voted for the no wall, enhanced border patrol option and posted:
"Inbetween option 2 and 3 with some symbolic sections of 4 - in totality it will not cover the whole border. Ground break for project 9 months from now. It will not get completed though unless he wins a 2nd term.
"
Looks like that was too aggressive of a prediction.

Army Corps of Engineers. They already administer a lot of land. This won't be a difficult task for them.
Trump says he could use the MILITARY to build his wall if Congress won't fund it through Homeland Security's budget - and he won't rule out another government shutdown to get his way
Quote:Quote:
DailyMail.com asked the president on Air Force One if he was considering using the Army Corps of Engineers to build his border wall
Congress has been stingy with a Homeland Security budget for the project, providing barely $3 billion and leaving another $25 billion unfunded
Pentagon officials say the Corps of Engineers is suited to perform the work and Trump has boasted about budget increases he has won for the Pentagon
Trump says: 'We have two options: We have military, we have homeland security'
He also said he won't take a government shutdown off the table if Democrats on Capitol Hill keep playing hardball because of immigration politics
He believes a shutdown would be strategically and politically smart
But many Republican lawmakers are counseling patience because they fear being blamed for a shutdown in the final month of re-elecion campaigns

I'm not the type of man to toot my horn, but this time I'm gonna toot my horn. I just donated 100 bucks. I encourage everyone to pitch in if you can. On the gofundmepage he says if it don't get accomplished you'll be refunded. This is one hell of way to shout loud and clear to the open border progressives we're fucking serious. Our American identity is crucial and a nation ain't a nation, and a people ain't a people without borders. Numbers don't lie. Cash talks; bullshit walks.
Dreams are like horses; they run wild on the earth. Catch one and ride it. Throw a leg over and ride it for all its worth.

Actually interesting to watch the growth rate. It's increased 50% in the last 2 hours, up from 1000 donors per 10 minutes to 1500 per 10 mins. How long till it levels off?
Nobody has ever done this before, politically, at least not this way.

The GoFundme servers have GOT to be smoking. Jesus. They're tapping into their Cloud provider big big time. Bet their CEO is at the office all night watching everything like a hawk. I would be. That much money coming into his pockets.
I predicted 10 million tonight? Fuck that. They'll be at 10 in the next hour.

So that 5 billion for the wall doesn't seem much for a wall at 5 or 6 metres in height made of reinforced concrete spanning a significant length.
Anyone here work logistics and quantity surveying?

Over/under on the gofundme by the end of the year? I'm going to guess $80 mill with around 2 million donors.

Some shithead Wapo reporter tried to get the Gofundme shut down. Nice to have confirmation, as little as we need it, that yes, reporters are anti-freedom of speech.
What you want to bet that they're launching Denial of Service attacks against Gofundme as we speak? Anything to stop the will of the people.
At least half, maybe more, of the donors are women.

Gofundme can't take it down, it would be a PR nightmare if they did AND they are also going to make a lot of money from this campaign, plus all the free advertising.

Picking up speed, but I'm betting they are limited by the ability of the servers to process credit cards.
