How much have they raised? 

I bet the money for that goes to Der Fuhrer's campaign fund.  By the way, did anyone ever find out how much Der Fuhrer raised in donations from his address the other night?

Not exactly true. If you want a refund then do nothing.
If you were serious and still want to see this through with your donation then go to the GOFUNDME page and scroll down to find

ACT NOW. CLICK HERE TO SAY YES!    Click the Link.

Just like I said...they don't have the faintest clue just how much $1 billion dollars is, let alone $5 billion; and that's just a down payment. Why are they giving up? Only $980 million to go! (http://www.aesopsretreat.com/forum/Smileys/classic/grin.gif)

It doesn't matter to me whether its used for the Wall or if this guy keeps it for himself. He's still trying to make a difference even after losing both legs and an arm. So be snarky all you want. I know which side is the good side. And I know who I want on my side in any battle.

I honestly see no reason for our Proud Boys and their Fuhrer to not use Go Fund Me.  I also believe they can do (almost) anything that they want to with the money they raise, including build their Fuhrer's wall. 

But I would personally like to know if this is just like the scam that their Fuhrer did with his address the other night where he scammed for donations to his campaign.  Now that is funny.  I don't care who you are.

KOLFAGE IS A CROOK!!!

Behind the viral #GoFundTheWall fundraiser, a rising conservative star and a shadowy email harvesting operation

Brian Kolfage, a triple-amputee Air Force veteran, has operated fake news websites and fundraisers to build a lucrative email list.


Six days after the campaign was launched, it was edited to include a new call: "AFTER DONATING, SIGN OUR PETITION WE NEED 100 million signatures.” The text repeats four times at the top of the page before any description about the fundraiser itself.

A spokesperson for GoFundMe told NBC News that all donors would be refunded because Kolfage had changed the language midcampaign, erasing an earlier pledge to “refund every single penny” if the goal of $1 billion was not met. Those donors will also be offered a way to refuse the refund and instead have it routed to a new charity set up by Kolfage, the spokesperson said.

Kolfage also used GoFundMe to solicit donations by check to a P.O. Box in Colorado, manned by former Freedom Daily writer Amanda Shea. The amount raised via checks is unclear, though Kolfage noted in a tweet that payments by check had put them "over the record.”

GoFundMe says it has no hand in refunding those funds.

“We process refunds for donations made online through GoFundMe. That does not include any offline donations,” the spokesperson said.

The campaign, however, is only the most high-profile part of Kolfage’s email harvesting operation, which former employees told NBC News extends back to his creation of far-right news websites — an effort that resulted in a Facebook ban.
