Hopefully that pace increases...a lot. At this rate it will take about 27 years to hit 5 billion.

$1 million in two days is still pretty amazing. It just goes to show just how big a number 5 billion really is. At least to us small folk.

Interesting...

Total votes for Trump =~ 63,000,000
Funding Trump wants for wall = $5,000,000,000
Funding needed for wall / person = 5,000,000,000 / 63,000,000 = $79.35/voter

All people can't donate $80, I get that. Very few people know about the GFM, I get that. I'm pretty sure $5,000,000,000 is doable if folks knew about privately funding a wall. This GFM is not out of bounds. It probably needs to move to a better platform but it is a great idea.

If every person that voted for Trump gave $79.38, we'd be there.

It's 1.5 million.

$1.5M

This is what Americans want. Despite the leftists trying to deny them safety and security. And the fake news venues can’t stop the message.

Yep either way a huge win!

We hit it, $1 M towards the wall AND a loud and clear message this is what America wants. If not, still sends a super strong message that we want border security.

Fixed it for you lol

Let me fix it back for you. The goal is a billion dollars, not a million. It hit a million in a couple days.

Very simple way to fund the wall indefinitely...TAX every person crossing that boarder coming or going a $5 tax dedicated to funding and maintaining the wall indefinitley. I don't know how many million cross the boarder in a year, but I'm guessing it would not take too long to fund the entire length.

They have now created a separate Facebook page. It’s over $1.5 million now. MAGA

This thing looks like it's got some legs.

^^^

Yep.

You typed “We hit it, 1B”
To me hitting it means making the goal of 1B.

If I may... I think what Skins was aiming to say was this:

"[If] we hit it, [then it's] $1B towards the wall AND a loud and clear message this is what America wants."

I could be wrong...

TWO meelion dollars...


G'nite, America!

I have added my $25 to the pile. I pledge $25 per billion raised. So when they start the next phase for the 2nd B, I will donate another $25 and on until the damn wall is funded and built.

Bender. We all appreciate your enthusiasm, but Over 37 thousand folks have donated in 3 days. This things gonna happen with or without your support. I’m Glad you have some pals in the know, maybe you should go visit with them now. Thanks for looking out for us. By the way, I heard it rained and your bridge got washed out.

Bender, do you like it here? If so, you may want to tone down your rhetoric, lest an eagle display his dislike of your comments.

Sorry to be confusing.

If we hit stated goal of $1B, then it awesome and sends a strong message. If it doesn't but still raises something substantial, like in the seven or even figure range it still sends one hell of a message.

Either way it's something people have to take note of.

PS BenderR, piss off and let us have some fun.

I'm gonna send part of my DAV check when I get it next month.

I love that it is burning people up. I am even visiting every.single.MSN liberal front that has the article posted and clicking and sharing it. Why? because they see it, they see people are interested in it. Their little statistical probability matrix that states if X of a population group write a letter then Y is the true number. So they KNOW how important this is to the people, and it burns them up inside.
Let the shenanigans continue
