    Default Whatever Happened To That GoFundMe For The Wall Of Shame? Fell A Bit Short?

    Did Mexico contribute to it?

    LOL

    PoliTalker anti-troll thread thief disclaimer: If this thread is stolen, plagiarized, will the thief have the nerve to use the entire OP, word for word? Including this disclaimer? If you want my take on it, you'll have to post to this original PoliTalker thread. I refuse to be an enabler for online bullies, so I won't post to a stolen thread. I won't even read it. If you don't see me, PoliTalker, posting in this thread check the author. This might be a hijacked thread, not the original.

    What is it up to? Did they even get the first billion? Big talkers.

    If only there were more zeros.

    (in the figure, I mean)

    Hey.

    At least they got enough to put a wall around the White House. Maybe 3 feet high. (If you measure that in President's hands it would seem much larger than it is. Warning: Objects in the mirror may appear to be further away than they actually are.)

    Of course, we need to save a reserve to 'tear down this wall, Mr President.'

    Funny. Trump stole Reagan's campaign slogan. But President Reagan is famous for tearing down a wall while President Trump thinks more walls need to be built.

    I think there is a wall between Trump and the Truth.

    It is at $19.5M and climbing https://www.gofundme.com/TheTrumpWall

    Far more than the dems raised for the imaginary future challenger to Susan Collins, and way more than the go fund me to buy ladders so immigrants can climb over the wall illegally

    Except it's illegal to apply that money to any specific project. It goes to the general fund.
    Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    Not my money, so as I said, they could use it to put a south-facing painting of Donald Trump for all I care.

    Hello Althea,

    Oh, that's funny. They can't really give the government money with a stipulation that it can only be used for a specific item.

    Makes sense. Our government is not supposed to be for sale.

    Money can be raised for the government, money can be given to the government. You just can't tell the government what to do with it. If it is given, it is given. Once it is given it is the government's to use as government sees fit. Expenditures are generally voted on by the House.

    The account holder has not secured a legal way to ensure that the money will go to the wall. He says it will, but this one person has full control of the account. Everyone who donates is trusting that he will do what he says. He said if the government won't guarantee it will go to a wall, then he won't donate it. But he didn't say what he WOULD do with it in that case, just that he would wait until he gets what he wants. Even though that is not a given.

    Let's see, that will pay for the plans, the MARKETING company to try and sell it to the American people and maybe a couple gold plaques at either end--should it EVER be completed...

    Not my money so I really don't care what happens to it. They could use it to run a candidate against Pelosi or to hang a really nice portrait of El Hefa De Donald facing south and wouldn't bother me one way or the other.

    The point is, it's CHUMP CHANGE given the subject at hand.

    Their goal is a billion dollars. $19.5M in a few weeks isn't chump change. It is change the chumps not only believe in but support with their purse.

    Not bad. But, admittedly, it is peanuts compared to Clinton's failed presidential campaign.
