The GoFundMe Wall Fundraiser Was Always Bullshit

So, Brian Kolfage is refunding all of the donations for his Build The Wall fundraiser. I made a joke on a social media thread that the man had no number sense. It would take a decade to raise a billion dollars on a GoFundMe. It was pointed out to me that he has publicity sense."The guy is a right wing conman who has run propaganda sites, a conspiracy theorist looking for his next score." I totally agree with this account of him. I wish I didn't have the background information to agree. I wish I'd never heard of him. His penchant for diabolical schemes is off the charts. Wouldn't it be nice if bottom feeders like this were reduced to staying on the bottom instead of being elevated in our current reality. 

I was just making a 3rd grade teacher joke. I feel like I've been teaching since wiglets were a thing. I can't afford to retire due to my need for a cadillac health insurance policy. I have to amuse myself somehow while these morons take apart everything I believe in. I'm fighting racism one eight year old at a time. It's disheartening how deeply some of them are already invested in hating brown people.

I met a guy recently who spends several months a year living on the cheap, in Mexico. He loves it and couldn't stop talking about all of the perks and how everyone should try it. Then he glibly stated he had donated money to the build the wall. What a head-slapper, right? I can't even with these people. Their blinders are of superior quality. Where do I buy some? I could use a respite from my own intellect, too. Couldn't we all use a break from having to stay so informed and constantly reminding ourselves that THIS IS NOT NORMAL. None of this is normal. (But, it really is now, isn't it?)
