> [@ThelmaLou](#): > > Musing… you know, lots of people have jars and boxes of pennies and other coins lying around. Old piggy banks, shoeboxes, those big water bottles. If everyone mailed all of that spare change to the White House, maybe that would be enough to pay for The Wall. My Trump-supporting uncle posted a meme saying that Liberals are saying that the wall would cost every household $120. ‘Where do I send my check?’ :rolleyes: ---

A cheap price to pay to keep America safe from people who want to clean our houses and butcher our chickens and pick our lettuce! The disconnect is that my uncle and his fellow supporters of Little Donnie Fail-Fail are always and forever ranting and complaining about Big Government stealing our money and taxing us into bankruptcy. ---

There’s a Go Fund Me page set up for the wall for Trumpsters. If every one who voted for him pay just the low, low price of $80, they can build the wall themselves!

If they build half a wall, will it be a full-height wall which only goes half the distance, or is it a half-height wall which spans the whole distance? ---

We can do this. If they build just the lower half, it can be more easily climbed over. Just build the upper half. Saves money, too. ---
