The border wall gofundme will refund every penny.

The site says this:

• If we don’t reach our goal or come significantly close we will refund every single penny. We are working on a time frame to achieve.

The goal is a billion dollars. I predict this whole publicity stunt will cost nobody nuthin'. Repugs know this, so they're pledging money so they can say they tried to help fund the wall.

Does anybody think the goal will be reached?

I question whether this is a legitimate bona fide GoFundMe account.

Too bad he's on the wrong side, I'm sure he's deserving of respect otherwise.
