A Florida-based triple amputee veteran has created a GoFundMe push to fund President Trump’s border wall through donations from the public.
Brian Kolfage, who launched the GoFundMe, has also been an active free speech advocate who has spoken against censorship on digital media platforms.
This is despite the GoFundMe page being censored.

Your butthurt, you aren't hiding it very well.

It's smart because he set the goal so high (won't be reached), it's just a gesture and money will be refunded. No one will lose any $$$ out of this

Sort of retards- but it does sort of undermine the argument I’ve watched (particularly on TD) that the wall is not a popular idea.
I find It significant that so many people have put their money where their mouth is.
I’ve never given a shite whether Mexico paid for it. I just want a wall.
I don’t believe the wall is the only solution, but I do believe it is necessary from a practical standpoint (it will slow these illegals down long enough for the other security measures regarding illegal entry to take over). Plus. It sends a message that breaks the freaking language barrier that we mean business. YOU CANNOT COME HERE ILLEGALLY. No wall is like ordering a convicted felon to stay inside a prison. He’s a criminal. He’s not following the rules except by force.
The wall is not a replacement for enforcing rules regarding a-hole criminal illegals that are already here. That’s a whole other problem that needs to be solved (and NOT with any path to citizenship, although I’m fine if these people stay so long as they have committed no other crime). But I don’t see how to solve the problem of what to do with illegals already here without solving the problem of how to keep new illegals out.
In other words, I would not write off passionate support of the Wall. It’s real. And it’s popular. And people WANT to pay for it. It is significant that financial support keeps ballooning.

Up is correct.
The government already has our fricking money to do it. They just need to allocate it to that project. It would be the same if someone started a GoFundMe to pay off the national debt.

Only $17,995,000,000.00 to go.

So basically carnival workers are donating to the wall

This is despite the GoFundMe page being censored.
But I’m generally curious. Since it’s very possible that those funds will not be able to be used for its intended purpose in the first place, either due to government bureaucracy and/or not being enough to actually use on a large project, what happens then?

That wasn't me speaking as to the worthiness of the cause. That was me speaking to people blindly giving money to someone or some organization that they know nothing about. Just like the whole veteran GFM scam a few months ago.

Exactly. Just cause the want brigade says it over and over doesnt make it true

Yes

GoFundMe has removed the #GoFundTheWall campaign from the trending page for no reason & are making it difficult for users to find using the search tool, as per organizer / veteran @BrianKolfage. Read about the effort, which has raised close to $700k --> LINK / …

GoFundMe will eventually take down that page and ban that user. No way a liberal site allows a wall fund to collect a lot of donations.
Only way to crowdfund the wall is for someone that trump endorses to start their own secure site on their own secure servers. That way people can go to the site and donate without worrying about it being shut down.
Then have one of trump's rich friends put out commercials, talking about the wall funding.
