Cards Against Humanity buys land along the U.S.-Mexico border in order to block Trump's wall

As our nation stumbles ever closer to the brink of a war launched via tweet from a man who can’t locate the target country on a map, Americans are turning to one another and saying, “What can I do?”

Unless you’re a high-level executive at Twitter who can delete President Trump’s account (and if you are, for the love of God, please contact The A.V. Club, we have some questions for you), the answer is, “Not much.” But when it comes to building a gigantic border wall, Trump’s second-worst idea (running neck and neck with roughly every other idea he’s had in the past couple years), there’s an opportunity to put your money where his insipid architectural plan is. Cards Against Humanity has announced a holiday promotion, “Cards Against Humanity Saves America,” designed to throw a giant geographical wrench in the works of the border wall. We’ll let the company explain it:

but if they are legitimate they are wasting their time and everyone's money. According to the link they have not even identified a piece of property to buy but want you to send money. They are not going to stop federal eminent domain no matter what they claim.

And they've retained some of the best eminent domain attorneys in the country. Good on them for fighting that mess.

They are a gaming company and you will get extra cards for your Cards Against Humanity Game. I paid that much for a secret pack they hid behind displays in stores. If it was not already sold out, I would pay this.

If there are delicate sensibilities though I recommend drinking a bunch before and during the game LOL

I remember playing the "Giving a dolphin a handjob for science" card

The wall isn’t going to happen because of the ohh so beautiful bureaucratic red tape they will never make it through. Those pesky regulations sprinkled all over municipal, state and federal legislation.

Sections will be built in useless areas but a majority of it will simply never happen. This is a hidden truth rarely discussed for two reasons. First, it’s not sexy. Second, what fun is the truth when it can be ignored in order to elevate the positions of bigots.
