I'm convinced that Trump's Twitter feed is now a parody site.
(WTF? Have 50 bills been sent to the WH today? If so, why is it the looming shutdown that makes him have to sign them instead of going to Florida?)
EDIT: Enhance the image and try to read the "bill" he is "signing"...

Remember when you veto'd the bipartisan bill providing 1.6 billion in border security? Remember that?
But yeah, no, the Dems aren't going to help protect the southern border.
How partisan and/or stupid do you have to be to accept this nonsense?

Link to the petition works just fine for me.
Read elsewhere that the warning message popped up because he listed the URL as “http” instead of “https”, which automatically triggers that warning from twitter, regardless of the content of the site.
So he’s basically an idiot, formatted the URL incorrectly, and then got all his moron followers to froth at the mouth about how “the man” was holding them down.

Yep. There’s a full-on conspiracy from all quarters against FREEDOM!! That’s infinitely more likely than the fact that the dude simply forgot to type an extra “s” in the URL and it generated an automated message.

You, Kolfage and Guiliani should take some basic computing classes.
I have to laugh at these idiotic conspiracy theories that pop up because some folks don’t understand basic technology. Go back to pen and paper and stop whining about suppression when the computer won’t start because it isn’t plugged in.

Re: TheTrumpWall go fund me now over $7.6 million in three days
3 weeks in, and they've raised $19.5 million, which is just under 2% of their $1B goal. That total was received from 323,000 people, which is about .005% of the 62 million who voted for him.
It's certainly a decent chunk of change to pull from the most dedicated Red Hats, but isn't really enough to make a dent in, well, anything in terms of actually building a wall.
So...now what?

Re: TheTrumpWall go fund me now over $7.6 million in three days
I'd just like to remind the Gofunders that the costs don't stop when it's built. The maintenance of any wall, particularly a concrete wall, will exceed the building costs in a very short period of time. I'm not sure what the actual ratio is, but I'd say they have raised less than half that number as far as how much wall it will build, assuming they want it to stay standing for more than a few years.
If they want to privately fund the wall, they can privately maintain it too. Don't saddle the government with an expense. You built it, you maintain it.

No matter how much money they raise, congress would still need to approve building something on public land, i.e. don't hold your breath.

Re: TheTrumpWall go fund me now over $7.6 million in three days
Sure, but I want them to feel bad too. "not enough money" is their failure while "congress won't approve" is the government's fault. If I can get them to internalize how it's their fault, I will feel like I've succeeded.
Of course I'm just talking to random electrons on the internet, but if I could address the cash givers, this is the approach I would use. It helps that it's the truth, something they might not be on speaking terms with.

Re: TheTrumpWall go fund me now over $7.6 million in three days
To put things in perspective, that is about $60 per donor. If all of Trumps voters donated $60, he would have $3.7B, not enough for his starting price of $5B. The expected cost to completion is $30B, or about $476 per Trump voter. Those deplorables better step up their game before the boogeymen come steal their precious coall mining jobs.
Oh wait.

Re: TheTrumpWall go fund me now over $7.6 million in three days
More details:
Brian Kolfage, the veteran who created the account last month, originally pledged that “every single penny” would be refunded if the original goal had not been met. He updated the page on Friday, saying that the federal government would not be able to accept the $20 million soon.
While Kolfage said money donated to the original campaign would go to the government to fund a border wall, he wrote Friday that he has since formed a nonprofit corporation in Florida named “We Build the Wall, Inc.” to receive the GoFundMe contributions.
“We are better equipped than our own government to use the donated funds to build an actual wall on the southern border,” Kolfage wrote. “Our highly experienced team is highly confident that we can complete significant segments of the wall in less times, and for far less money, that the federal government, while meeting or exceeding all required regulatory, engineering, and environmental specifications.”
Since the original intent of the campaign’s promise has changed, GoFundMe said in a statement that the more than 337,000 people who donated will receive a refund.
“When the campaign was created, the campaign organizer specifically stated on the campaign page, ‘If we don’t reach our goal or come significantly close we will refund every single penny,’” GoFundMe spokesperson Bobby Whithorne told The Hill on Friday.
“He also stated on the campaign page, ‘100% of your donations will go to the Trump Wall. If for ANY reason we don't reach our goal we will refund your donation.’”
“However, that did not happen. This means all donors will receive a refund,” Whithorne continued. “If a donor does not want a refund, and they want their donation to go to the new organization, they must proactively elect to redirect their donation to that organization. If they do not take that step, they will automatically receive a full refund.”

Apparently 330,000 might feel that way. This serves as a great example of why the GOP treats their base as they do.

It was not clear to me that this refund was not Grifter's choice. If you can trust the daily beast
https://www.thedailybeast.com/gofundme- ... non-profit
then yep grifter gonna grift
https://www.thedailybeast.com/gofundme- ... non-profit
then yep grifter gonna grift
Best bit was reading the resume of the players according to the Daily Beast vs the resume listed on wall fund site.In a statement, GoFundMe cited Kolfage’s initial statements on the fundraising page as proof that the initial campaign had failed to achieve its goal. In GoFundMe’s view, that means they can refund donors’ money.
“When the campaign was created, the campaign organizer specifically stated on the campaign page, ‘If we don’t reach our goal or come significantly close we will refund every single penny,’” GoFundMe’s statement reads. “He also stated on the campaign page, ‘100% of your donations will go to the Trump Wall. If for ANY reason we don't reach our goal we will refund your donation.’ However, that did not happen.”
So how does private contractor We Build the Wall work when competing with donating to donaldjtrump we build the wall where POTUS personally sees every donator, so he knows if you been naughty or nice?Now Kolfage, a prolific operator of conspiracy theory Facebook pages, has recruited a team of prominent figures in President Donald Trump’s orbit to run a new 501(c)(4) nonprofit, named We Fund The Wall, to do some wall construction of its own. The new group’s board, Kolfage announced on Friday, includes Erik Prince, the founder of infamous military contract Blackwater; David Clarke, the former scandal-plagued sheriff of Milwaukee County; Fox News contributor Sara Carter; Tom Tancredo, an immigration hardliner and former Colorado congressman; and former Kansas Secretary of State and voter fraud crusader Kris Kobach

If it asks for money for RW ideological deeds, I'm 99.9% it will be crooked in some fashion or another. In this case, a "non-profit" with massive admin costs, I'm assuming (heck, even 5% would be a nice little scam...)

Certainly not him.
The veteran has also spearheaded other crowdfunding ventures over the years, raising thousands of dollars on GoFundMe with the promise of helping mentor fellow vets at military hospitals, but spokespersons for the medical centers said they have no record of Kolfage working at their facilities or donating any money.
