"As a veteran who has given so much, 3 limbs, I feel deeply invested to this nation to ensure future generations have everything we have today," Kolfage wrote on the GoFundMe page.
That's like implying the success of the Kardashians is based on some kind of rational, intelligent thought process. In a country where Kanye West's rants are considered news worthy -- bragging about the success of a GoFundMe page is laughable.

But go ahead and put up there with one of Trump's great accomplishments.

It's not a success until it's applied to it's stated purpose.
This miracle mile stretches from coast to coast to their minds. Republican math strikes again.

Good let those lemmings, who wish to follow Trump off the cliff, go forward.


They could always get MEXICO to pay for the wall.

The border cannot be managed entirely by agents. It’s not possible unless we start building new cities along rural areas of the border where we can house CBP staff. This is because many areas of the border are too remote to access and patrol over the course of a regular shift. The terrain here is extremely wild and remote, and areas of the border can take a lot of time to get to. This is where sections of wall come into play. It may *seem* ridiculous to build a five-mile section of wall out in the middle of nowhere, but its purpose is to funnel migrant foot traffic to the left or to the right - toward areas with roads that are much more accessible by CBP.

As a Texan, my opinion is that these walls are not a waste of money. They work WITH agents to create better overall security.

$10 million a mile?!!! I guess Trump's chumps better dig deeper in their own pockets, if they want that wall.

I remember when Clinton was the president. A kid was doing bake sales to help lower our debt. Huge respect for that kid... This Vet is actually trying to do something rather than just talking about it. Respect.

WARNING -- Possible SCAM


The Wall fund is not a 501c3, isn't tax deductible, and is NOT a certified non-profit. He could skim some or even all of the money for himself and call it "salary and administration."


SUSPICIOUS.

Well that's most unfortunate as the American people don't want to pay for it either. I hope the GoFundMe works but I have my doubts . .

That seems a bit odd. Care to explain?
Why are Trumps followers seemingly unable to distinguish border security from border wall? Same goal; different ways to achieve it.


That seems a bit odd.

No warning needed, one only has to know what identifies "fools" and fools think themselves wise in their folly and foolishness, therefore ... the principle is fully at work... to ensure; "a fool and his money are soon parted"..
We need not worry for nor of them, they get what fool's seek and pursue.... which is to insure they are known by every means they can find to denoted themselves as being "fools"....
They know well how to validate themselves as being "fools".... because "a fool" does all they can to remain being "a fool".... That's why they are considered and called "Fools"....

Maybe signs should be made to say .... "please don't feed the fools"... they will eat upon themselves...
