BREAKING: GoFundMe for Border Wall: $1 Million and Counting

If you done, do you get your name inscribed on one of the scraps of metal put into the wall? If so, that would be so cool!

But seriously, this is pretty damn funny.

Super-rich billionaire fails to complete campaign promise to build wall and get mexico to pay for it, so........his poor, dumba$$ followers are going to fund it for him. Ya know, so they can trigger the liberal snowflakes. Money well spent! USA USA USA!

Democrats are for open borders.

Open borders is the only way to defeat the democrats.

White people are ridiculous. This is why you all get a bad name.

I have missed you, comrades. How is St. Petersburg in December? I bet it is cold. Very cold. Too bad you aren't here in the free USA and have to work for Putin for devalued rubles.

Americans... realize that this thread and the GoFundMe are the Russkies at work. Don't be sucked into this hole.

Trump has given up on his wall as part of the funding bill. Go away Trollskis.

Public education is for poor people.

So you all are really just not caring that Donald Trump couldn't keep his largest campaign goal of making Mexico pay for it huh.

Sitting there whining doesn’t get you what you want.

Answer the question.....did Trump voters actually believe him when he said Mexico as going to pay for it? Now us TAXPAYERS are getting stuck with the bill - who would've thought!?!?

Sly dig at Donald "Whiner in chief" Trump! Do you really think he has achieved nothing? Outrageous disrespect for the great man.

I think you're being a bit unfair. Can't we look past this one failure? He did achieve health care for all as he promised.

This is absolutely asinine. Trump at a rally:

"Who's going to pay for the wall?"

Crowd chants: "Mexico"

"If Mexico won't pay?"

Crowd chants "America will."

"If congress won't approve it?"

Crowd chants "We will with personal donations."

We're not talking about what he has achieved, we're talking about the fact that he kept spewing "Mexico will pay for it!" all through the campaign.......and his uneducated voters actually believed him. And now they don't seem to care that it was all a lie.

$1M will cover a fraction of a percent of the yearly maintenace cost if you are lucky.

You're dismissing the fact that at $1mil a day from the mouth breathers, it will only take 13 years to have enough $$ to build the wall...at current prices that is.

You lump a massive group of people together and insult them all by calling them ignorant.

In reality you are ignorant by conveying that money earned working would not be spent by the employees anyway if they were Americans. Seriously? Either way the employees, American or recent immigrant, would spend the money in the US. Point defeated right there.

The major problem in your post though, and I am sure you never attended a university due to your inability to differentiate between the two words I am about to reference, is you do not know how to use the words effect and affect properly.

Effect is a noun. Affect is a verb. One can not be "effected" by something. One can be affected by something though.

Please keep your rants to letsrun, because you are most likely outclassed in education by many people in your surrounding population.

So when the wall inevitably goes past budget, who pays for it?

Who will pay for the staff that have to monitor the wall after it's built?

Who pays for upkeep/maintenance after it's built?

Why do democrats not want border security?

Why do you need a massive wall for border security? Racists and baby boomers who are xenophobic want the wall because they are scared of people who are not like them or because they fondly remember the Jim Crow era.

We've been getting along pretty well for 100+ years without a wall. Not only would it cost taxpayers money better used in other ways, but it would go thru private property, ruining businesses, parks, etc.

It was just a campaign slogan to appeal to the racist right, Trump never planned on building it and never thought it through.

BREAKING NEWS!!!:

I just started a $20 GoFundMe for a ladder.

Winner :)

Here's the thing: any money "donated" to the government will go towards paying off the $20+ trillion in debt, not building the wall. That's Treasury's, and government's, biggest 'threat' right now. Frankly, that should be the greatest threat to National Security, and both sides are responsible for it.

Anyone can donate money to the government, to include the President as a private citizen, but you cannot stipulate where or how it will be spent. Otherwise anyone could circumvent Congress, as the arbiters of the budget, and direct money towards any department or agency...in this case DHS.

If this were the case and since this is coming from a combat wounded Vet, I'd hope he'd dump at least a few million into the VA to help straighten that agency out.
