Finally a composite of all 8 at once! Great job!



The one in the upper right corner (#4) is the best, it looks fearsome and also very simple to maintain.

Any changes to predictions on this topic in light of DJT mentioning he won't push for a shutdown before the midterms over wall funding?

I voted for the no wall, enhanced border patrol option and posted:

"Inbetween option 2 and 3 with some symbolic sections of 4 - in totality it will not cover the whole border. Ground break for project 9 months from now. It will not get completed though unless he wins a 2nd term.
"

Looks like that was too aggressive of a prediction.

At this point I feel that a wall is a 2020 campaign issue. Trump's first term as president seems to have been fully taken over by fighting off the deep state's coup attempt. The 2016 midterm elections are a referendum on the future of the country. This way to Democrats, deep state overthrow of the American populace, diversity, and death. The other way to Republicans, realism, rebuilding the country, and restoration of values and principles of America.

Army Corps of Engineers. They already administer a lot of land. This won't be a difficult task for them.

Trump says he could use the MILITARY to build his wall if Congress won't fund it through Homeland Security's budget - and he won't rule out another government shutdown to get his way

Quote:DailyMail.com asked the president on Air Force One if he was considering using the Army Corps of Engineers to build his border wall
Congress has been stingy with a Homeland Security budget for the project, providing barely $3 billion and leaving another $25 billion unfunded
Pentagon officials say the Corps of Engineers is suited to perform the work and Trump has boasted about budget increases he has won for the Pentagon
Trump says: 'We have two options: We have military, we have homeland security'
He also said he won't take a government shutdown off the table if Democrats on Capitol Hill keep playing hardball because of immigration politics
He believes a shutdown would be strategically and politically smart
But many Republican lawmakers are counseling patience because they fear being blamed for a shutdown in the final month of re-elecion campaigns

We should follow the fate of this campaign here in order to not spam the Trump thread with constant updates.

I threw 40 bucks to him. Best money I spent this month. I am a big fan of direct funding of democratic ideas.

I'm not the type of man to toot my horn, but this time I'm gonna toot my horn. I just donated 100 bucks. I encourage everyone to pitch in if you can. On the gofundmepage he says if it don't get accomplished you'll be refunded. This is one hell of way to shout loud and clear to the open border progressives we're fucking serious. Our American identity is crucial and a nation ain't a nation, and a people ain't a people without borders. Numbers don't lie. Cash talks; bullshit walks.

Actually interesting to watch the growth rate. It's increased 50% in the last 2 hours, up from 1000 donors per 10 minutes to 1500 per 10 mins. How long till it levels off?

Nobody has ever done this before, politically, at least not this way.

The GoFundme servers have GOT to be smoking. Jesus. They're tapping into their Cloud provider big big time. Bet their CEO is at the office all night watching everything like a hawk. I would be. That much money coming into his pockets.

I predicted 10 million tonight? Fuck that. They'll be at 10 in the next hour.

And we haven't even gotten the bump from the Fox appearance yet.

As far as I know the largest Gofundme ever is this #metoo thing, which started one year ago today and is at $22M(raised by only 21,000 people, while the wall is already at over 150,000 donors).

How long until the wall passes it up?

at this rate, tomorrow

several more 10k donors.

edit: It's going to hit 10 Million while the guy is being interviewed on Fox. Perfect.

So that 5 billion for the wall doesn't seem much for a wall at 5 or 6 metres in height made of reinforced concrete spanning a significant length.

Anyone here work logistics and quantity surveying?

There are people working on very serious technology to supplement the physical wall. truthfully with the right tech you won't need the wall to be that high.

Over/under on the gofundme by the end of the year? I'm going to guess $80 mill with around 2 million donors.

Post: #168

Some shithead Wapo reporter tried to get the Gofundme shut down. Nice to have confirmation, as little as we need it, that yes, reporters are anti-freedom of speech.

What you want to bet that they're launching Denial of Service attacks against Gofundme as we speak? Anything to stop the will of the people.

At least half, maybe more, of the donors are women.

Post: #169

Gofundme can't take it down, it would be a PR nightmare if they did AND they are also going to make a lot of money from this campaign, plus all the free advertising.

He's on Fox now.

Reached $10 million.

Picking up speed, but I'm betting they are limited by the ability of the servers to process credit cards.

If the Left doesn't like something, they turn to their favorite intimidation tactic: doxxing.

Quote:AWFUL! Angry Leftists Are Now Doxing Contributors to the #GoFundTheWall Campaign

Leftists are now doxing people who have contributed to the #GoFundTheWall campaign using their real names.

The crowdfunding campaign to fund a wall at the southern border of the US has raised over nine million dollars in three days. Over 150,000 people have contributed to the cause.

Naturally, this infuriated the left — and activist reporters have been trying to get it kicked off of GoFundMe. Weirdo activists have also been crowdfunding ladders to help illegal aliens get over the wall — if it is funded (the funds will likely go to an organization that does legal work for illegals).

Additionally, leftists are now encouraging people to find the identities of those who donated and used their real names. There is an option for people to donate anonymously.

“People that have their Facebook accounts linked to gofundme AND donated to #gofundthewall. Check in occasionally and collect some profiles,” a Twitter account called “The Queer Crimer” tweeted along with screenshots of the Facebook accounts of people who donated.

The account has screenshotted the accounts of dozens of contributors. The Gateway Pundit has opted to edit them and only provide a couple of the tweets as examples. There are roughly three dozen tweets, most of them containing the identities of four contributors each.

With liberal activists recently targeting the home of Tucker Carlson, it is probably time for Democratic lawmakers to speak out against this intimidation tactic.

I am planning to make a donation to TheTrumpWall.
