Someone must have been watching Trump and taking notes. No one mocks people better than Trump. That a Trump supporter would be whining because another Trump supporter was mocked is just too funny.
Trump gave you permission to mock someone? It would not have been done if Trump had not done it?

Weak. Just..........weak.

According to Trumpetts, all vets are off limits unless they criticize Trump. And yes this guy is a scam artist and has been in the past and is also a conspiracy theorist. No wonder most Trump supporters won't give him a dime. Either that or they don't truly believe paying for the wall themselves.

Find the people who threatened and prosecute. Not fond of the wall but the guy has the right to do his thing without threats.

The refund announcement came a day after BuzzFeed News reported that Kolfage pocketed money in a previous GoFundMe campaign intended to help other wounded soldiers. Kolfage raised $16,246 for a veteran mentorship program, but BuzzFeed News reports that after collecting the funds, he didn't use the money as promised: none of the partners he claimed to have worked with — including Walter Reed, Brooke Army Medical Center and Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany — have any records that Kolfage worked with their patients or donated money, according to representatives at the centers that BuzzFeed News spoke to.
....and trump supporters get scammed at the ballot box and by shiny go fund me scammers, lol.

Suckers.

I've had people look up myself and colleagues on our institution's websites in order to send us death threats despite being a communications office, not the ones making any kind of decisions. That's to say nothing of the regular threats we receive through our social channels.

Spoiler alert: these are coming from people/accounts that affiliate with the right.

It's a horrible byproduct of the internet age that some peoples' first instinct is to send a death threat when they're angry.

Gun nuts fantasize about using them on their perceived enemies. Some actually do it. But most are cowardly.
Their tendency for violence is bad for them.....and everyone else, but I don't think they can help themselves.

Cons are surely easily conned. I'm sure many will donate back to this guys new "non-profit" which he and his family will certainly milk (amazing how some of these groups milk and milk and milk).

Heck, the lawyer/preacher that is Trumps best buddy takes MILLIONS from his own non-profit for his fees. Hires his family too. Birds of a feature, I guess:
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...ulow-donations

All coincidence I'm sure. Trump is a honorable man and so is Jay:
"But Jay Sekulow, who is now an attorney to Donald Trump, had a private jet to finance. His law firm was expecting a $3m payday. And six-figure contracts for members of his family needed to be taken care of.

Documents obtained by the Guardian show Sekulow that month approved plans to push poor and jobless people to donate money to his Christian nonprofit, which since 2000 has steered more than $60m to Sekulow, his family and their businesses."

60 Million! This vet should take lessons from Christians like Jay (who has a radio show too...some of you may even be regulars).

According to Wikipedia, Sekulow is a Messianic Jew.


Are Messianic Jews Christians ?....

While I certainly appreciate his service, that in no way means he’s currently sane, reasonable, or trustworthy.
