Liberal scum. Liars and cowards, dependent on censorship and this type of foul play because their ideas / beliefs are shit.

Can't be much longer before someone in Canada busts a cap in one of their asses.

GFM originally said they would give two weeks for the donors to APPLY FOR A REFUND and after that, THEY would decide who the funds get donated to.

Florida mentioned they were going to investigate them for FRAUD and all of a sudden, GFM says decided that everybody gets a refund without asking for it.

I think when GFM first started, they may have had their heart in the right place, but once the add on "admin fees" to process your donation started adding up, the greed factor kicked in real quick.

Had a CC hacked immediately after I donated thru GFM.......never again.

I hope everyone who donated doesn't click the refund button because they keep a $15 fee. Instead, dispute it with the CC company/bank and do a charge back so the GFM is charged the $15 fee. Hit them where it hurts.

Whoa, seriously? That's pure bullshit...they deserve to be legitimately investigated.

And that folks is why I absolutely refuse to donate to any go fund me campaign. If I want to donate to a cause I will seek out a way to donate direct or to a trusted site.

I have donated to a GFM cause a couple of times but won’t any longer. Last time was for George Gammon suing the Federal Reserve. Haven’t heard any updates but he seems to be an honest person and supposedly donated $100,000.00 of his own money? He produces a macro economic podcast couple of times a week and seems to understand the subject well.

Seems that these are the times for putting our money where are mouths are? I’m doing my best to do that and not just bitch though I hadn’t donated to this particular cause. I’ve tried to rectify that via this site but last time I checked, the site was still down:

https://www.givesendgo.com/

My state government has done a pretty good job during the past couple of years. No mandate or passport nonsense here but I realize:

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.”


― Martin Luther King Jr., Letter from the Birmingham Jail

Hard to believe in this day and age, anyone could be so ignorant or just plain stupid enough, to trust politicians with their “Life, Liberty and pursuit of Happiness”? But after a decade of debates on Corvette Forum, I’ve come to realize Liberal Stupidity is alive and well.
