    Carne mother lovin' Asada Burritos. Seriously, all the best food comes from Mexico. Canada has some god awful food, and what they call bacon is a damn travesty. Poutine is ok, but that's it man. Meanwhile Mexico keeps making good stuff. Like, if I had to deal with terrorists once and a while, but got revolutionary burritos all the time, like whatever. I'm more likely to die of cancer, heart disease, or my partner killing me than terrorists. So eff safety, gimme those burros.

    I say we ship those trump crazies all down to the border give them a free plot of land to build a house. These contiguous houses of trump lovers can be the border wall. Win for everyone!

    The sight of maga hats will definitely drive all border crossers away

    The fundraising page doesn’t mention Kolfage’s most recent business venture, a Facebook page titled Right Wing News and a ring of affiliate sites that frequently trafficked in conspiracy theories. In October, Right Wing News was pulled down by Facebook in a sweep of more than 559 pages that the company said were “using fake accounts… to drive traffic to their websites” or “were ad farms using Facebook to mislead people into thinking that they were forums for legitimate political debate.”

    Days after the pulldown, Kolfage created a group called Fight4FreeSpeech, which accepts donations, and is also not referenced in the GoFundMe.

    Kolfage told NBC News he didn’t want to mention Right Wing News or Fight4FreeSpeech because he “didn’t want it to be a distraction.”

    “I don’t wanna mix the two. That shouldn’t be the focus. My personal issues have nothing to do with building the wall,” he said.

    Kolfage also ran Right Wing News’ shuttered affiliate sites including VeteranAF and FreedomDaily, which pushed false conspiracy theories, like ones claiming Hillary Clinton was secretly hiding deadly illnesses and fake voter fraud stories days before the 2016 election.

    I'm shocked... really and truly shocked... :rolleyes:

    I have to say, I am greatly impressed by this man's courage and we're all indebted to him for his service to our country. Unfortunately, he appears to be a scam artist and liar.

    Anyone dumb enough to donate to this wall should be prepared for never seeing their money again... let alone this fictional "wall."

    While reading through this thread, I was thinking to myself "man, it would be pretty funny if this turned out to be a big scam." Then I saw this post....

    Can't say I'm surprised by any of this. LOL...

    What's that old saying? A fool and his money are soon parted?

    Go Fund Me - Ladder's to get over Trump's wall

    That being said, Mexico is feeling the strain because they've gone from 28 million people to 135 million people in the past 70 years. You can't blame anyone else for that.

    The answer isn't "send them more money for remittances". It's take care of your own in house issues before asking for handouts. In that regard, educating the local population and enforcing strict rules would be a far better use of funds than a wall immigrants can build tunnels under or go around. In many ways it is worse because it establishes a false sense of security.

    I wonder how these people feel knowing that 5% of their contributions will go to the leftist GoFundMe company. https://pjmedia.com/blog/gofundme-leftist-tool/

    $50,000,000 in the pockets of GoFundMe
    $950,000,000 given to government but can't be spent on a wall because it hasn't been authorized by Congress.

    Brilliant.

    No one is taking out loans to donate to this. The distribution of this disposable income is probably similar to any foundation people donate to. A portion goes to the cause. This isn't breaking news.

    Except instead of "foundation", this is a profit-making company that people on the right despise.

    And instead of money going to a "cause", it's money that can't be used for the cause because the government hasn't authorized the construction of the wall.

    By all means, I think you and your other mistake-in-chief supporters should treat this wall like a 10% tithe. Donate away. Every year. Multiple times a year.

    THE WALLet

    They can use the money for anything right? Whoever is running the fundraise could use it to say take a vacation to Mexico for "research"

    That's a lot of copper - melt it down and buy cryptos.
