I love this idea
As President Donald Trump threatened to allow a government shutdown if Congress did not provide funding for his proposed wall along the Mexican border, a Republican congressman from Ohio offered up alternative routes to getting the wall built: through Internet crowdfunding or through an initial coin offering.
During an interview with NPR’s Morning Edition on December 12, Rep. Warren Davidson said that he had offered what he referred to as a “modest proposal” in the form of his “Buy a Brick, Build a Wall Act.” The bill, which he submitted on November 30, would authorize the Secretary of the Treasury to accept monetary gifts from anyone “on the condition that it be used to plan, design, construct, or maintain a barrier along the international border between the United States and Mexico.” The funds would go into an account called the “Border Wall Trust Fund,” and a public website would be set up to process donations electronically.
Go for it #MAGA-nation. The idea of dumbfucks sending money to this makes me smile.
Cool, reminds me of televangelists fleecing the same people that would send money for something as stupid as “the beautiful wall”.
He threatened to shut it down if the Democrats didn’t fund the wall. Important detail.
Which begs the question, why aren’t the dems the ones pushing back on the fracture between the GOP on this issue? I don’t get it.
Chuck Schumer is too busy trying to confirm magat judges and oppose universal health care,
How can you not blame the victims?
“An internet fundraiser for Donald Trump’s border wall took in more than $7 million from over 131,000 donors by early Thursday evening.
The Florida man behind the GoFundMe page, a triple-amputee Iraq War veteran named Brian Kolfage, spent a large portion of the fundraising campaign’s description outlining his past, including a bolded section titled “How do you know this is not a scam?””
