What brings together the likes of the president’s former chief strategist Steve Bannon; voter disenfranchiser Kris Kobach; notorious Blackwater founder Erik Prince; controversial former sheriff David Clarke; immigration hardliner and former Congressman Tom Tancredo; and offensive meme spewer and former baseball great Curt Schilling?

A move to supplement President Donald Trump’s proposed “wall” on the southern border with a privatized wall.

According to new reporting by Politico, the right-wing crew got together—though Prince just phoned in—for the first time last week at the border town of McAllen, Texas for “a kind of #MAGA field trip.”

The New York Times reported on the privatized wall effort late last month, but Politico is the first to report on Bannon’s involvement.

“Do we have a billion dollars right now? No. But can we raise one- or two-hundred million dollars? No doubt about it,” Bannon told the news outlet. As of this writing, the new GoFundMe page has raised a little over $20 million of its $1 billion goal.

5. They plan on just taking via eminent domain.

With a few well place enablers in office and they can get the government to take it away from anyone else for nothing.

10. The spending oversight on this should be interesting, if there is any at all.

Here is a point that may or may not come into play. Even on private lands, erecting barriers that may interfere with naturally occurring events such as water flow, effects on the property of others, endangered habitats, etc., still have to be approved prior to construction permits being issued. As I said, this may not come into play in all cases or locations, but I would bet that it would apply in some instances. I hope these greedy vultures get tied up in court for years.

Who in their right mind would send money to any project being driven by these assorted con-artists, traitors and goofballs? Oh, wait......I know.
