If neither Mexico nor Congress is going to fund President Donald Trump's border wall, then Brian Kolfage has a more expedient plan: GoFundMe.

Please stop.... you can’t math.

[MulberryDraw]

To get 1 billion is about 1000 days...or almost 3 years.

True, but libtards don't understand math. Like 5 billion is 1/8th% of annual federal spending but that doesn't seem to sink in for anybody.

It’s going to go over $5M before lunch is over!

Yep, it went over BEFORE lunch: 11:53 am Thursday, Dec 12: Now raised $5,065,364

It’s gone viral of FB as well. I know I put it up on mine and shared it with like minded and our State’s Eagle Forum.

But not without checking it out first. So much crap of Gofundme that gets funding. Others who truly have a need get ignored. My niece put up one for her dad who has Duchene’s MD and can barely walk. They have one of those small cars, he needs something that will haul a Electric Wheelchair, they lacked the down payment. She got a who $200. While some queer got his sex change paid for.

It's not so much about the dollars raised though. It's more about the enthusiastic response (people actually giving money, not just blowing smoke) and the rapid growth of the fund. The rate of participation is accelerating. More and more people are making a CLEAR STATEMENT of their intent to protect the border - and their disappointment in the politician's failure to do so.

BINGO

It's just under 5 million now. We donated. I hope you can too.

The liberals on twitter are in serious pain about this. It's trending.

[MarMema]

donate here to help fund the wall

Almost to 5 million an hour ago. Raising 400,000 an hour or something..

Make the liberals suffer. We did.

[MarMema]

It was $4,700,000 and 77,000 people when we donated just about an hour ago.

[Dexter Morgan]

In our corrupt government the only way this money will help get the wall built is if they take whatever they raise and use the money to bribe politicians to vote for the wall.

It was $4,700,000 and 77,000 people when we donated just about an hour ago.

The word is getting out.........and he's supposed to be on Fox (Laura Ingraham's show) tonight.

Am watching the numbers. When I looked at it about 2 1/2 hours ago, the money raised was $3,773,495. At 12:31 PM, Central time, it's at $5,403,865 raised by 88,592 people.

[snowtigger]

I hit it and will do it again.

[TXSearcher]

I hit it and will do it again.

I refuse to work with GoFundMe............but will be heading out to drop a check in the mail to the address Mr Kolfage provided.

It's about the only other thing I can do to show my protest over the decades of lies from both parties about border wall/security and their recent lies about not having any money for Trump's wall....aka AMERICA'S wall.........and how a majority of Americans don't support it.

[elcid1970]

Donated earlier today. Like wearing yellow vest.

Over $13+ Mill a few minutes ago, about $500 an hour.
