What a waste of money. All th lip service about homeless vets, vet suicide and PTSD and you squander your money on this scam.

Mmmh $14,517,856 of $1.0B goal .

That's not that much. Time to step it up and translate this, so that the Mexican's can donate too.

Where they not the once who were supposed to pay for this?

Interesting.....this would be a way to get a fence or any barrier along the private lands in TX. You would have to contract with the land owners though. No matter how much is raised the gov isn’t gonna use that money.

It is a 100% scam. There is no way that private donations can be given to the government for a specific project. The money cannot be used to hire people to build the all on government property. The only solution is to return the money to the donors, most who do not seem to want their money back. So, all that money ends up staying with the disabled vet who is running the scam. He can do with the money as he pleases.

The government will not allow anything to be built along the border without their approval. At best, the money could be used to put up some barbed-wire fencing in the dark of the night.

You were promised that Mexico would pay for the wall and you think you've won, you're really that stupid?

Trump's shtick during his campaign was that Mexico would pay for the wall. He now says says that the U.S. will pay for it. How can that be acceptable to anyone?

The only way he could have kept his promise was to have sat down with Mexico's leaders and convinced them that paying for the wall would benefit them. Some other source of revenue is not Mexico paying for the wall.

NORAD's Santa Tracker not affected by government shutdown...Whew

The only one really winning right now is GoFundMe. They take 5% of all donations, plus for each individual donation they charge a 2.9% processing fee plus 30 cents. This money will never go toward any wall anywhere unless the board of directors at GoFundMe Inc. decide to build a new fence at their Redwood City, California headquarters.

$14.7 million in 5 days by 240k people. This is still a low number of people. Less than 1% of the US population. So this is still a very fringe movement. It will be interesting to see how many people end up "supporting" tighter immigration into the US by contributing to the gofundme.

That wall around the Kremlin works great (for Putin, but not Russia). The peasants donated the labor.

But what is the buffer that the government owns? What if I want to build a large fence a few miles in from the actual border?

To build you need to own the land. It's either owned by the government or privately.

That would leave a bigly yuge number of Americans abandoned on the other side. Not good.

The government can confiscate private land —except for Native American lands. Private builders would have to pay through the nose for private land.

I love it. Can you imagine being one of the 200k + people so dumb to be duped into contributing to this?
