Are you chipping in for the racist wall?

A fool and his money are soon parted

Walls have been used for several eons to protect populations from invaders. It's survival.

No. But I'd chip in for a one-way ticket to Somalia for OP.

How did he ever happen? He has done so much damage to his family- when he is gone they are f'd!

The irony of America even considering a wall to keep Mexicans out of land that had always been Mexican, until America invaded and occupied by force.

I keep refreshing. Donations increasing quickly. Mind boggling.

There is nothing "racist" about the wall. Idiot.

Snort r2. I almost feel bad for you, I understand that's about the best you can do with this,

Israel was having around 30,000 illegals coming in through one of their borders until they built one. This past year they had 11.

postscript

Exactly R10. Tucker Carlson aside, this is the question everyone should be asking. I don't really care whether an actual wall is built or not, but I do want to see our borders (southern AND northern) better protected one way or another.

There will be no wall. If it didn't get built in Trump's first two years and with both houses of Congress under Republican control, it will not get built under Pelosi's watch.

In jest, but deplorables are dumb. Well, you get the idea.

Need I remind you r9 that Israel is the size of NJ? We can't afford a southern wall. The price to build and maintain is astronomical.

Why do we have to keep repeating this fact?!?

Only if Trumpty Dumpty climbs up and has that great fall.

More people are leaving the US than coming in and most don't come in via that route so the wall will be useless but very expensive

GOFUNDME account $1 million. Only $5 billion to go

Um...Wasn't Mexico supposed to pay for this wall

R15 Link?

How can you even know this with people slipping in through breaks in the border, drug tunnels and in the trunks of cars? Who is the soothsayer who is counting them?

I'm going to OWN THE LIBS and donate money I can't afford to an obvious grift just to prove how hard I want this wall!

Israel is tiny. Also, the wall was built there to stop suicide bombers who were coming in on the daily. It had nothing to do with the stupid "illegal aliens" argument in the US.

Actually, the money crowdsourced for the wall is going to the Trump Family escape fund.

the only way to make this better is to help these countries become better for themselves so the people don't want to leave. It is the only way this will be solved.

[quote]GOFUNDME account $1 million. Only $5 billion to go

Fake news! Only $4.999 billion to go.

I'll give to the go fund me for the homeless man, and the couple "saving" him scam.... before I chip in for this wall.

[quote]The irony of America even considering a wall to keep Mexicans out of land that had previously belonged to Spain,

Fixed.

No R26, learn your history.

Everything west of the Mississippi R was governed from Mexico City.

here's a gofundme to counter the wall.

Over $6 mil now. WTF are these people thinking. ::SMDH:: Donating $5-10,000 for a sure fail that's only going to destroy ecosystems, strain foreign relations, and divide this country further. Not to mention it's going to look like shit and be a colossal waste of $$ and resources. Praying to God access to these funds and ability to start on this ridiculous wall are blocked soon, Even before the issues of eminent domain are addressed again.

The ANTI wall Go Fund Me

Don't you mean chip in for the "New" tRump Foundation?

Israeli wall - just about 400 miles

Proposed US southern border wall - 2000 miles

There are already roughly 700 miles of fence along the border - the remainder is either open, nearly impossible to actually build on or impassable. Rivers, mountains stand in the way

10+ years worth of land lawsuits after the Secure Fence Act of 2006. The supporters better chip in a little extra for the lawyers.

In general, LONG walls are notoriously UNSUCCESSFUL in keeping out invaders. The Great Wall of China - incredibly unsuccessful. Ever hear of Genghis Khan, who went over and around it - his descendants ruled China for 300 years? The Maginot line in France. Germany went right around it in a heart beat. Even short ones are marginal- Troy - the Greeks got in and destroyed it. Israel's walls are hugely expensive to build and maintain and man. They have made the West Bank a ridiculous maze, and all to protect ultra-Orthodox settlers, who think they have a divine mandate to to all the way to the Jordan River - not a winning strategy in the long term.

We need to bring back lobotomies, but for Republicans only. Crazy and retarded is fine, as long as you aren't a danger to others.

Yes, let's build that wall!! Because a wall would have kept the terrorists from 911 out and the Las vegas shooter out and it would have kept the Pulse nightclub shooter out. And if Dylan Roof is from Mexico it would have kept him out too... GET REAL.

It passed 7 million

I don’t think people are grasping just how large an amount a billion of anything is. Also the $5 billion number would not fund the wall. Updated estimates are from $18 to $40 billion.

The GoFuckMe Wall Fund has been raising about $500,000 a day so far on average. They would need another 10,000 days of that to reach $5 billion!

And then only need another 36,000 days of fundraising to finally hit the latest $18,000,000,000 wall cost estimate.

And if it’s true the wall would actually cost $40,000,000,000 then that GoFuckMe Fund needs another 80,000 days of $500,000 in donations.

Good luck with that!

R39 It was averaging 1.7 million dollars the first few days. That number has gone up since then and the page hasn't gotten any mainstream news coverage yet. The democrats won't even approve less than 5 billion for border security.

It doesn’t really matter R40... even if they started raising $5 million every single day without fail, which I highly doubt they could sustain long term, it would take 1000 days to raise $5 billion. And then what? That would most likely not be enough to build what Trump and his base envision and they wouldn’t have even begun to start fighting the emmeninent domain legal battles.

It’s a scam and these people would be better off giving their money away for a bag of magic beans.

Also, you type a little bit deplorable. Dems are willing finance border security that works... not the political theatre of an ultimately ineffective wall.

R22 wins!

I rest my case... even Fox admits this wall fundraising is a joke and that the amount needed would be at least $18,000,000,000 or more.

I guarantee some of these idiots think if they raise "enough" money, Congress will be so threatened by their showing that they'll pitch in the rest.

Meanwhile, the person who set this up is retiring early in a few weeks with a nice nest egg.

R40 seems to have had his little deplorable dream killed with some hard facts about the $$$ actually needed. Snowflake.

This meme seems to be catching fire.

Right?

China has a 100 year plan to control the planet economically and militarily. We're discussing walls and the funding the gov't at months at a time.

Yes, but China built walls R48, that's why their great now. If we build Trump's wall, we can be as great as China in *checks notes* 400 years!

OMG, you just know he thinks coyote means the canine version.

I can't believe any of you are actually taking this seriously. It's not a scam, and nobody expects that billions will be raised. It's propaganda, it's as simple as that. Even just raising 1 million shows that there are a shit ton of people that support the wall and thus support Trump, that's the purpose of this GFM. The goal will not be met, the GFM will shut down, the money will be returned...but the intended message will have been broadcast. I'm just ignoring it.

R51, it can be both propaganda and a scam. Do you seriously think this guy is going to return the money?

The scam artist is OF COURSE also a racist agitprop artist.

[quote]Walls have been used for several eons to protect populations from invaders. It's survival.

It would be more effective to raise money for filling in tunnels, sinking ships, and shooting down planes- the drugs come in those ways, and so do people.

"One anonymous donor gave over $50,000 to the cause at 4 p.m. on Thursday."

The griftiest grifter who ever grifted.

This whole thing gives new definition to the saying “a fool and his money are soon parted”.

The money raised,no matter how much will disappear into Trump INC. pockets and never be accounted for.

BTW are donations tax deductible?

THAT PIECE OF SHIT DONALD TRUMP DESERVES PRISON FOR HIS FINANCIAL CRIMES. LET'S DROP THE BULLSHIT.

Half of the donors are either past due on child support payments or one check away from being homeless. Idiots.
