We The People Will Fund The Wall

Like a majority of those American citizens who voted to elect President Donald J Trump, we voted for him to Make America Great Again. President Trump’s main campaign promise was to BUILD THE WALL. And as he’s followed through on just about every promise so far, this wall project needs to be completed still.

“If the 63 million people who voted for Trump each pledge $80, we can build the wall.” That equates to roughly 5Billion Dollars, even if we get half, that's half the wall. We can do this.

This won’t be easy, but it’s our duty as citizens.

  Where were YOU on 9/11? That was a REAL National Emergency. Do you know where Maggot in Chief was? In his Golden Penthouse looking out and then telling the press, "Now "I" have the biggest building in NY City." Proud of that are you?
  
  The only idiots who want that stupid wall are the white supremacists in states not remotely connected to the border, WV, (a polluter coal state), TN (a state in the top 10 for the collection of welfare) and KY (McConman's state where bourbon bottles fill up landfills.)
  
  Sorry, but that wall has NO real purpose. It will not stop drugs coming in from South American via Florida and up Highway 1. Nor, will it stop the immigrants crossing the border from Canada into NY state.
  
  The joke is that most of these hicks had ancestors who settled here in the US as indentured English or Irish slaves who owed the Crown so much money they had to be shipped to Botany Bay or the "new world" to work off their debts.
  
  Looks as if their ancestral traditions of jacking debt is still in their bloodlines. After all, it is those white make Republican big mouths who in only 2 years has increased the national debt by $2 TRILLION more.

  Did you also know that the GoFundMe was just another way for Trump to bamboozle you? Do you people EVER learn?
  
  He has used more of his campaign dollars for personal debts violating all election and campaign rules.
  
  That you condone allowing a maggot in the WH with a guilty plea for money laundering in his past only proves that some Americans wallow in crime.
  
  There wil be NO wall. And WE WILL blame the Maggot.
  
  As for that MAGA mantra, did you also know that in 2012, Putin used that very phrase? Make Russia GREAT Again?
  
  If you want to suffer the consequences of hitching your wagon to Trump's, you should consider how many others he has already destroyed. Let's start with Sean Spicer. Do you even remember who he is?
  
  He can't even keep cabinet members of any value. Time for all good little hicks to get a life. Oh and while you're at it, start creating REAL jobs in your moocher states. We donor states are tired of supporting lazy bums who want to sleep till noon.

  Yeah, sure, it's a fantastic idea however there are still a few major problems before construction can begin on Bozo Trump's grand wall of illusion, feds need to confiscate private property from private property owners all across the country and most of them are not too thrilled with the idea of forfeiting their land for a useless pile of concrete:
  
  By the time all the law suits are settled, and the greatest land grab in history is done with some wins and some loses, construction on the great wall in Donald's head will look like a great big slice of Swiss Cheese:

  Not saying I support the idea but government can confiscate through imminent domain. I've seen it done in cities, for property development by private corporations, small communities for sewer access when landowners don't want it coming through their land and for road extensions. Your complaint is a non starter.

  WRONG again Live to Learn, you seem to know eminent domain as well as you understand Brexit: I'm well aware of the federal government attempting to confiscate private property through the process of eminent domain and sometimes the feds win and sometimes they lose depending upon the strength of the law suits:
  
  There are many, but one of the greatest defenses to stop Bozo Trump and government agents from taking landowner's property in Texas and other states is the LACK of necessity for a wall: The USA has become great over the course of 250 years WITH the assistance of millions of Immigrants and WITHOUT a big useless pile of concrete obstructing them and once Bozo is REMOVED, we'll rebuild God willing and get back on the right track once again:
  
  But don't worry, we need ZERO funds from congress because Bozo's cultees are raising the money through some kind of a "Wall-A-Thon" as I suggested a while ago: They should have actually waited to see if and when the feds can confiscate the required private property but hey, nobody ever accused Trump followers of being the best planners or the wisest of the bunch:

  I think it's wondeful, too,watching Trumpeters pay for a wall that their leader promised would be funded by Mexico. It will be immensely entertaining to watch this unfold, as they likely will not raise billions but, if they do, the actual act of seizing land and erecting the monstrosity will be exceedingly controversial. I mean, we all know how much conservatives love having their land confiscated by the government.
  
  And that assumes the government wins all the legal challenges that will surely ensue. Who will pay for those? Y'all better raise some extra dough for that.
  
  Oh, and Congress would still have to authorize.it.
  
  Ah, but it will be a beautiful, beautiful wall.

  How about since YOU want that wall, YOU pay for it? 2 of the most recent Democratic presidents were the ONLY ones who lowered the national debt.
  
  Meanwhile, since Republican president Warren Harding your Republican idiot presidents have had 2nd term recessions, all but one termer Bush '41.
  
  You want to explain how even HE who followed Reagan's 2nd term recession ended up with a recession? Some reason he couldn't do what Obama did and restart all of the businesses YOUR Republicans crash?
  
  One thing that really makes me laugh is how your Maggot in Chief's shutdown of government is not hurting Dem states in the least. Why?
  
  Because people in Dems states don't rely on government jobs like your Republicans do. You got what you asked for when you voted for the most wanted White Collar Criminal in US history.
  
  Next time you vote, do yourself a favor and find out more about WHO you are voting for. Because right now? It is beginning to look as if HICK state Republicans elect only crooks ready to live off hard working Dem state taxes. Time to pay for your OWN healthcare insurance and stop dumping on everyone else's. Time to do what Dem states have always done. CREATE your own REAL jobs.

  Ok. That at least makes sense.
  
  I think the flood gates of illegal immigration do need to be stymied, and I think Obama understood that also.
  
  We should also consider that many Europeans also arrived here illegally, Irish walking in from Canada by the thousands, etc. I just think that eventually a nation does have to slow the flow.
  
  I'm just not for all these scare tactics. Trump benefits from illegals so much that I doubt he's really serious about any of it. He's serious about votes, and power, bigly.

  Got it. I was very much about border security before Trump came along, so his "scare tactics" have had zero effect on me. Bush was a border wimp, Obama wasn't much better. Clinton did more to help the secure the border than either of those two.
  
  Regardless of WHY Trump is seeking stronger border security, it is, as i see it, the best thing for America, both from a financial standpoint and from a security standpoint.

  TBH, I don't know which of the Presidents were stronger on the borders, but I did have the impression that Bush Jr was lax on the border, and I know Obama was stronger than he was given credit for by the right wing.
  
  For real border security, I think more border guards, drones, fewer points of entry, etc. are more effective for border security than an expansive wall. To me, the wall is all hype. For example, the (not so liberal) Heritage Foundation states here what it thinks about border security: https://www.heritage.org/homeland-secur … n-exposure

  Do you want to know the REAL reason Trump wants that wall? For almost 2 decades, Trump used cheap Mexican labor in Mexico to manufacture his line of overpriced men's clothes.
  
  His reputation for not paying what he owes got to the top of the Mexican government. When it was time to renew his contract for that cheap labor, it was rejected by the Mexican government.
  
  So little Mr. Mommy Mary Ann's fair haired boy pulled out his famous Spiteful act and decided if Mexico wouldn't make his crap line of overpriced menswear, he would get even by walling Mexico off so Mexico couldn't export any other goods to the US.
  
  Anyone dumb enough to think this was about National Security doesn't know what a skank Trump is.

  And why are hicks from TN, AL and KY worried? Their kids make their own meth in the back seats of cars.
  
  Nice try though supporting a wall only Trump wants to stop Mexico from making money from US imports.
  
  Why is it hicks are so easy to take down with facts I know I can prove?

  The US was perfectly great until bully white males marched in and stole Native American land. Unless you are a Native American, your immigrant ancestors were indentured slaves from England, Ireland and like Trump's immigrant Mommy Mary Ann MacCleod, Scotland.
  
  Trump has chain migrated Melania's parents and sister who jumped ahead of thousands of other immigrants waiting to enter the US and become citizens. Who did Trump pay for that?
  
  His own children, except Tiffany, are ALL anchor babies from his first Czech born wife, Ivana and his trashy Slovenian wife Melania.
  
  In fact, his mother was Queen of Anchor babies because she only married Fred Trump so she could remain in the US. Her job on Long Island's Gold Coast in a Robber Baron's mansion as a maid was not enough to keep her in the US. So she hurried up and married Fred.

  You can tell how undereducated people in Republican states really are. But that does make sense when they defund education to the point where they end up with babbling idiot voters too stupid to even bother to check on Trump's prior criminal records.
  
  When they say there are "walls" in other countries, they are referring to those built to keep out Genghis Khan (not that these uneducated loafers know who that is), Attila the Hun and marauders from the Middle East.
  
  Genghis Khan conquered all of what is now Russia, as far south as the northern African countries and as far west as Spain. So you bet they built walls.
  
  Does Trump want a moat built around his Trump Tower next?
  
  There is NO NEED for any wall. Japan has proven this. The Japanese government invested in hi tech AI to protect its borders.
  
  But just like the oil swimmers in hick states who want to drain every drop of oil while they pollute the world, they deny that solar, wind and hydrothermal energy works and works better than oil and frackola.
  
  How on earth don't these hicks realize why they are being kept dumbed down? It's so their swaggering, drawling autocrats can continue to control them. If that's what they want fine by me. Just keep their syrupy mitts off our tax dollars.

  When he filed for bankruptcies in 2014, it was solely to avoid paying that FinCEN money laundering fine he got. So, he refused to pay wages to 4400 employees in his 2 hotels and casinos and the also refused to pay the contractors who built them and provided various vendor services.
  
  If you think, he will ever pay those government employees the wages he owes them, think again. In NY City, he hired undocumented Polish workers to build that hideous Trump Tower. Then, he refused to pay them using that same tired out old excuse, "They didn't do a good job."

Lol. How absurd to think people will show their support for ways to stop illegal immigration by opening up their wallets and funding it? I guess I understand why a liberal would find that absurd. They support the government paying for everything. No liberal alternative to the current unsustainable situation has been put forth. Liberal strongholds are rife with poverty, homelessness, crime and drug abuse so putting other poor people at risk of not succeeding shouldn't be any sweat off a liberal's back.

  I don't have a problem with Trumpeters spending their money on a border wall, regardless of the folly of it.
  
  Your reply consists of nothing but vast generalizations and false statements having nothing to do with the points made.
  
  "They support the government paying for everything." That one made me laugh out loud, given that this thread is about raising money for a border wall that liberals won't vote for the government to pay for.
  
  Thank you for the guffaw. Lol

So, in related news...

Because Kolfage said he would return the money if the campaign didn't reach the goal and it was time to do so, he now changed his mission. LOL

Now he has a team to build the wall themselves and is asking the people who already donated, to opt in and forget the refund.

  They can start by buying the land since they can't use Imminent Domain. I wonder how this will work out for them?
