The GoFundMe fundraiser that promised to help privately fund President Donald Trump's plan for a wall spanning the length of the U.S.-Mexico border surpassed $20 million dollars in donations this week. But the man behind it — Brian Kolfage, a rising conservative media star — may have had another goal.

 

Through his border-wall campaign, he claims to have gathered 3.5 million email addresses, which are essential to his broader operation — a wide-ranging and multipronged effort to collect a list of Trump supporters who have proven to be sources of donations for conservative efforts, former employees told NBC News.

 

According to former employees and public records including website archives, Nevada business registrations and property records, Kolfage has repeatedly created GoFundMe campaigns and published inflammatory fake news articles, pushing them both from websites that he sought to hide behind shell companies and false identities, in part to harvest email addresses. Those addresses were then used to push people back to Kolfage’s websites, to sell a brand of coffee he owns, or to be stockpiled for future use by conservative campaigns.

This story seems to have legs so a standalone thread was in order.

 

If anyone wants to donate or have a good laugh.

Con men always go for the easiest marks. The dumbest, most gullible easiest to fool person they can find.

 

GOP holdout; that's YOU.


Everything you believe is a con.

EVERYTHING.

 

The easiest scams in America to run are scams based on the beliefs they instilled in you.

The easiest mark. The best sucker. Always there. Always ready for another round. Always eager to please their masters who laugh and fleece them all over again.

Pathetic chumps.

Why don't they just put a plaque on a piece of already-existing wall that somebody else paid for, and claim that they built it?  

 

It's what Trump has done, and the suckers fell for it.

Wait

so they thought by virtue of putting money in an account they could build part of the wall?

 

do they not realize if congress put 10 billion in an account today there would still be a series of legal issues to go through?

What is the monument for?

Ctrl+F "monument"

In response, IBWC officials on Monday afternoon propped open a large gate installed in the wall. The gate, constructed on roughly 33 feet of federal property, had blocked officials from accessing a levee and dam, and cut off public access to a historic monument known as Monument One, the first in a series of obelisks that mark the US–Mexico border from El Paso to Tijuana.
