They cannot be used for such a project without government approval. There are far too many hoops to jump through without Congressional approval which will not happen.

This is not the same as building a wall around your backyard.

Just for fun how much would the land necessary to build a wall cost? 100 billion? More?

I have no problem with spending the money for political statements but don’t think it is really going to fund a wall.

How much land is required? How many billions will be necessary for a wall? Don’t forget government have eminent domain allowing it to forceably purchase land.

The land has already been allocated and was done so years ago under Bush. C’mon, get informed.

If it’s like everything else seems to be, the owners of GoFundMe are probably liberal loons, and salivating at the thought of conservatives giving them millions in fees.

You apparently missed the memo the other day.

Reminder: No profanity, no racism, no personal attacks, no threats, no violence, etc

Good, then give Kolfage 50 bucks for his 3 limbs. Whatever floats your boat.

That was allocated for Government use, nothing else. Just as the environmental regulations were suspended for the government. They won’t be for a private project without Congressional approval.

There are multiple questions which need to be addressed with this project.

Now funding a GoFundMe site for disabled vets is an idea which is both laudatory and could be accomplished without government approval.

I was addressing this ill informed statement and you change the parameters....a common tactic of the left.

At 7:00am this morn I made a prediction of 6.2 mil by midnight. It appears I will have grossly underestimated the actual figure.

boy you really try hard to live up to your name :)

Brian mentions on the gfm page that as recently as 2012 a private citizen donated money for a specific purpose so this is not new and not so hard to do. You just want to think you know everything and I will be happy to see you proven wrong.

Yeah I remember one guy tried to do this under Bush and nothing really happened. I think this will get a lot more of a following now that everyone has social media.
