Vet starts GoFundMe page to pay for the wall

Anonymous
The guy behind #GoFundTheWall didn't mention the right-wing sites he owned that were banned by Facebook two months ago.

“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.”

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.

Those sites stopped operating in March, replaced with a string of text that said “This Website Has Gone Out of Business.”

The sites often trafficked in false, inflammatory and racist content, including headlines like “Obnoxious Black People Lose Their Minds When Victoria Secret Models Say This 1 Word On Live Video” and “Trump Just Released Embarrassing Vids Of Obama’s Muslim Friends That He Never Wanted Seen.”

Most Americans do not want a wall. He does. Let them pay for it instead of Mexico. Better than US tax payers. (I also know that it is not so simple and that laws will need to be passed but it's MAGAs money to do with what they will.)

For those of you sneering that this is wasted money - I hardly think trying to shore up our country’s borders is a wasteful cause. And donating to this doesn’t preclude anyone from also donating to other worthy causes. It’s not a n either/or situation.


It's about $25 million to build one mile of border wall. One mile.

How many miles do you think you are going to be able to fund this way exactly? Even if there's a way to get it built.

This guy is ripping you off. What's his plan for if he only raises $50 million? Enough to TWO miles.... is he going to build 2 miles of wall? Give it to the government and require them to build two miles? What's the plan here?

Amateur hour.

People who are actually donating aren't smart enough to think about "what next"?

I think the people who are donating money are more concerned about the message they are sending. Conservatives are more intelligent than you give them credit for.

They are about to learn a lesson about what happens when you give Trump money.

I don’t think it’s even stealing. This guy’s entire pitch is... trust me, my twitter account has a blue check mark. Besides that, it is very light on details. He can probably get away with paying himself millions of dollars to study the legality of having private citizens build the wall. And issue a report saying
Using nope, not legal. That will be $20 million for services rendered.

Trumpkins do not seem to get that there is no mechanism by which this money can become a wall, even if they raise the billions of dollars needed. Like many other things, they seem to think they do whatever the f@ck they want, the law be damned. Please morons, tell us how this works. (Spoiler alert: it doesn’t). And I love the PP who is proud to be a double moron.

That said, I’ve shared it on Twitter today with a #BuildTheWall and a #LibtardsSuck and a #QAnon. I love watching the gullible Trumpnuts throwing their money at a con man and think the commendpts section is awesome. And Trumpkins seem remarkably cool with social media disinformation campaigns.

I would love to know how you give the government 50 million dollars and require anything that Nancy Pelosi doesn’t choose to appropriate.

They really aren’t. In fact, I have been shocked over the last two years at just how stupid and gullible they are.

Oh don't worry, he has "a law firm" working to figure that out!

• We are working with a law firm on a legal document that will bind the government to using the funds for the border wall itself, nothing else.


How much will that cost do you think?
Anonymous
• We will hold all funds and not release a single penny until we have all legal aspects covered to ensure our money goes only to the wall.


It's up to $10 million now. How much interest is he earning on that do you think?

Does he refund people their money with interest when this plan collapses? Or just keep it for himself?

I am 100% certain that the “law firm” is this dude’s personal injury solo practitioner drinking buddy. And that it will cost every cent they manage to get from these morons. With a double donation from our previous poster.

But I love the assurance that there will be a “legal document”. That’s a conversation I’d love to overhear.

— yes sir. I know you want to donate these funds for a wall. But we don’t actually own land to put a wall on.

— well, sor, necause Congress hasn’t passed a law allowing us to buy the land.

— No sir, we can’t just go buy it anyway. Especially since the owner doesn’t want to sell, and we need eminent domain

— sir, please stop chanting “Lock Her Up”. I understand about Butter Emailz. But we still don’t own the land.

— well no sir, we can’t just take it from the people who do own it

— yes, even if our way of life is being destroyed.

— what’s that? You have a LEGAL DOCUMENT???? Well why didn’t you say so. That changes everything!

Let me guess. You’re the person who is saying that conservatives are a lot smarter than liberals give them credit for.
