Cards Against Humanity Bought A Piece Of US-Mexico Border So Trump Can’t Build His Wall, And Here’s How
Cards Against Humanity, the self-described “party game for horrible people” is doing something totally not horrible. Notorious for its crazy marketing campaigns, the company announced a holiday promotion called “Cards Against Humanity Saves America”. Basically, the company purchased a plot of vacant land on the border of the United States of America and Mexico, preventing Donald Trump from building his wall.
“Donald Trump is a preposterous golem who is afraid of Mexicans,” the company writes. “He is so afraid that he wants to build a twenty-billion-dollar wall that everyone knows will accomplish nothing. So we’ve purchased a plot of vacant land on the border and retained a law firm specializing in eminent domain to make it as time-consuming and expensive as possible for the wall to get built.”
In December, for $15, the company will send customers six “America-saving surprises” right to their doorstep. The first one will include a map of the plot on the border, some new cards for the game, and a few other goodies. In a spoof explanation video, the game is giving a piece of land to all people who took part in the promotion, meaning that if the US government wanted to construct the border wall, it would have to drag every individual to court. “It will be fun, it will be weird, and if you voted for Trump, you might want to sit this one out.” The promotion sold out on its first day.

And even released a hilarious spoof video
If you’re still not convinced they mean it, just read the FAQ of the campaign
The internet was quick to congratulate the self-described “party game for horrible people”
I guess you could say this is... game changing. I will let myself out.
Lol I invite you back in good sir. Ur puns are great

Great post bcuz no one ever takes account for what we are doing to wildlife. We've blocked every route for the animals. https://www.mnn.com/green-tech/transportation/blogs/every-line-mesmerizing-map-is-road-US
Load More Replies...Although I guess that a state has full right of eminent domain in such a case, and although the small area will not help anyone to actually cross the border, this is a rather strong sign. It is just up for discussion if this is actually a sign meant to be humane or just clever marketing...
it's clever marketing. mostly it's just funny. sometimes you just have to take a break and just laugh.
Load More Replies...Hilarious. What're they going to do when he plays the "Imminent Domain" card?? Seems pretty straight forward.
It still would have to go to court. The Trump Administration would have to prove, that particlar property is vital with no other route. Then, if Trump wins, they’d have to pay marketing value... which after the media circus it’s bound to go up.
Load More Replies...This is a level of stupid not seen every day. The US will get and easement, determine there is no loss of value to use and enjoyment, the these idiots will have paid for a big chunk of useless property.
Yeah, right. Dream on. The biggest surprise will be Donald Trump actually SAVING America from fools aka snowflakes. Any so-called unclaimed land along the border is owned by the US government. Or else it would be all claimed by now, just think of the commercial value of that land if corporations could own it. American companies who defected to Mexico due to high US taxes, like Hershey, and many others would have a processing and/or distribution plant just on the Mexican side of the border, with US distribution and delivery directly on the US side. You don't see that too much, cuz the US government has jurisdiction over the land on the US side, and would do little good the companies based in Mexico.
So, nobody with land at the border ever needs to sell some. To oh., maybe pay for a doctor visit?
Load More Replies...Well, the answer is when the wall gets to your property line, they can make a 90* turn proceed to the end of your property, make another 90* turn, proceed to the next corner and make another 90* , leaving you on the Mexican side of the fence. HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR NEW NEIGHBORS. :)
depending on the size of land and where it lays, they would have to cut a LARGE swath of area out of the way, and if planned correctly. could even force them to go through city territory. its all in the planning and ALSO why they put lawyers on retainer.
Load More Replies...That's a ballsy move. I'm sure people on one side will buy the game based on it, but remember that this move is against the party that was just elected, so it's going against just as many people. If I had a company (especially one built on something really offensive, ironically enough) I'd keep politics the hell out of it. I've played Cards Against Humanity and I laughed my a*s off.....because it's offensive. I think the founders should've done this campaign as a personal sidepiece and kept the company out of it. I lose respect for companies that suddenly hitch to one particular cause and go to war over it. It's like when someone goes to a comedy club and laughs at the gay joke, the racial joke, but then gets offended when it comes to the fat joke and they're suddenly outraged.
I think the difference is that one is a "comedy club" and the other thing is called "the reality"
Load More Replies...A silly ploy against the Government power of eminent domain. Waste of time and money if you ask me. He can make new legislation by executive action to nullify the entire effort just on the grounds of what it was done for.
it's not gonna do a f*****g thing...in fact it won't cost the Government anything to still build the wall right there....
Thats what we would call setting up u funnelling area for the alien hunters haha
I'd LOVE to see people who actually own the land threaten to shoot those immigrant hunters for trespassing.
Load More Replies...Imminent Domain is real and it’s on all borders and everywhere you look. If you think that property backs directly up to a federal fence keeping illegals out and it’s yours, you have lost your minds! The country has leeway so your property will still have the law driving on this side of that fence and the entire length of it and besides what kind of idiot wants illegal aliens to come over. Maybe we don’t like what you are doing and your putting families in danger and maybe your sorry arses should go to jail.
This is BS! Trump didn't get into office by simply sitting down in the chair...over one half of the voting citizens of this country voted him into office. Trump has no hate for Mexicans, but we the people are tired of the drugs, human trafficking, and illegals who come here at will without going through due process. I hope the owners of this piece of land end up in Prison for ATTEMPTING to obstruct justice, but eminent domain will make the wall happen even here!! ;)
I don't understand why some Americans don't want border security.
Load More Replies...a Law firm cannot stop it, just ask my Neighbors when Obama seized their land in TX to build a Facility for immigrants to get screened for diseases and housed until shipped all over the US
Load More Replies...Guess these idiots haven't heard of eminent domain and the Supremacy Clause in the Constitution.
Its a publicity stunt. They bought a piece of land that was adjacent to the federal border zone (ie Federal land). So they aren't blocking anything.
People that think this will actually work...are stupid. "Hired eminent domain lawyers"...MORE wasted money. Nobody has ever successfully defeated federal eminent domain. This is a publicity stunt, and "supporters" are rubes...people with well intentions, but unwittingly being used to further a stunt to regenerate traffic and interest to a dying card game.
Thank you, CAH. You've made a mad man with unlimited resources have to go to lengths to do what he wants to do regarding the wall. So that bill for dragging however many people to court, will only reflect on the bill taxpayers will have to pay for this stupid a*s wall. This isn't heroic, it's ignorant...
All presidents are liars, as was Hillary, I fail to understand why it matters if the toilet water is blue.
different colors different poison. some people like their poison different ways is all.
Load More Replies...Congress approved building the wall in 2006. It's to late to challenge the eminent domain claim by the US. That's why this property is worthless.
build the wall arround that land and it will soon become part of Mexico
Exactly! These idiots are beating their chest and scratching their small balls, and stomping around like they have accomplished the best thing since white bread... Whatever they think they have accomplished or achieved, the Lawyers can try as they might, to say... But what about this... and what about that... The Government thought of everything and the counters to those things too.... long before these little p**s ants came up with their insignificant plans and idea's.
Load More Replies...I bet they laugh all the way to the bank. They know about eminent domain or they could just go around the land so it is all on Mexico's side. By the way have you seen the wall Mexico built on their southern boarder?
I live in southern Mexico. There is no wall. Read this, please: https://www.snopes.com/mexico-guatemala-border/
Load More Replies...This is a publicity stunt. The only thing they're doing is piggybacking on the controversy surrounding the wall to garner attention so that they can make more sales. Realistically, it's a joke because legally they can't use their little piece of property to let anyone in or out - not without legal repercussions, so what's the point? Furthermore, the wall, if it ever does even get built (which is unlikely to begin with precisely because of private property rights issues), would only be built on key locations across the border that are known smuggling, illegal immigration hot spots. Private property rights is already an issue - Cards Against Humanity didn't invent it by buying a piece of border property and touting themselves as everyone's savior. They're simply capitalizing on an opportunity to market their product. Trump would be proud. Big wup.
While all of you that support this b******t and laugh and joke about how dumb you think Trump is and building the wall is stupid, I want you to read this article. (https://www.themaven.net/bluelivesmatter/fallen-heroes/hero-down-u-s-border-patrol-agent-rogelio-martinez-murdered-S2CP8wHrRk2qutTSz9r1Fw) This just happened this past weekend! Don't build a wall and those who are there to protect you from terrorists such as these ILLEGAL aliens! I am having a hard time grasping the concept that you are advocating the support of these criminals allowance into our country! Why? I hope the other agent is ok. May Officer Martinez rest in peace....
SOLUTION-- HIGH INTENSITY LASERS AT VARIED PARTS OF THE WALL THAT WILL LET THE MICROCHIPPED ANIMALS IN THE AREA PASS WITH OUT ISSUES. WIEGHT AND MASS OF THE ANIMAL CONFIGURED IN THE CHIP SO JOSE CANT JUST GRAB ONE AND CROSS WHILE HOLDING IT
I don't think anyone on this site actually understands what eminent domain means
I'm just wondering when the federal government starts eminent domain proceedings, who will be stuck with the paying the costs?
I think they are a group of disillusioned losers who can’t understand the basics of a nations sovereignty or laws. There’s something called eminent domain which the government can use to obtain the land to build the wall. So you are simply wasting the donations of the lemmings who blindly donate to support your warped view of life.
You're WRONG. Our president is NOT afraid of Mexico WE THE PEOPLE are sick and tired of open borders so all kinds of trash, gangs, criminals and terrorists are just walking through and expecting WE THE PEOPLE to take care of them!! BUILD THE WALL AND BUILD IT HIGH! GO TRUMP GO!!
Silly. If the wall ever does get built, it'll just curve around them. The chunk it takes out of the US will be negligible. BTW, the Dineh indians already own land that straddles the border -- and they *want* the wall; they're determined that it will take a chunk out of Mexico, so CAH's piece will be (at least) balanced out. I bet you didn't know that the people who really, *really* hate Mexicans are the Indian tribes! It's true. The Pueblo-nation tribes have been fighting with Mexico (first the Aztecs, then the Conquistadors) since at least 1200 CE. It's a pity that nobody asks the Indians about *their* history, which would shed considerable light on modern politics.
People only care about what the Indians think if it's what they agree with, sadly. That's what I'm seeing at least. If it's a "Minority" vs "Minority" people turn their heads. :(
Load More Replies...That's extremely rude and you probably shouldn't be posting things like that on the internet where everyone can see it's you- like your job... I get you don't have the same opinion but I don't think it's ok to say they need to /die/ because of it. :(
Load More Replies...Yeah but, I thought ownership of land or property in general was racist against the native Americans who used to own it, and opposed to the goals of a socialist utopia society? Does this mean CAH embraces capitalism and American values of greed and prosperity?
So I guess left wing IDIOTS don`t mind having an unsecure boarder? WHY would they think that ok? KARMA has a way of dealing with dumbass`s like this...
you know, Trump didn't come to be the president by just going into the oval office and sitting down there, he was elected by half of the voting population of this nation!! he does NOT hate Mexicans nor do Americans, BUT we hate the drugs brought in, the human trafficking of criminal Mexicans right here in this country under our noses, and we hate that they just come at will ignoring our laws and due process. I hope those who bought this land and plan to use it to obstruct justice go to prison and eminent domain will allow the wall to be built anyhow...or perhaps citizens who have had enough of this type of anarchy against our president!!!
I think it's kind of a b******t post? Why? Let's see, isn't the phrase 'preposterous golem' a JEW phrase? I kinda think so. We get much of our SECURITY IDEAS FROM ISRAEL, SO if a wall between Israel and her enemies works and works well, it's GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME! So I suggest you, you commie bastard, go find find something else about THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA to complain!
While you silly idealists were playing cards, Mr. Trump was playing bigger games. You will stop nothing; he will build right past your property setback kids.
TIL that 'playing bigger games' = 'telling more lies'
Load More Replies...Maybe people should mind their own business and get out of others. Hey Cards, what are you doing about pedophilia? About children at the age of 9 forced to marry men in their 50's? How about the genocide of Christians? How are those "real" issues going for ya!!
Genocide of Christians? In America? And why are you letting your daughter marry an old man? What are you doing about pedophilia? Have you reported your pastor to the cops?
Load More Replies...All he has to do is apply the Eminant Domain Law and build it in the easements of the land, and there isn't one thing they can do about it~too bad those GREAT ATTORNEY's didn't tell you that BEFORE you purchased the land. I know we had our home bought by a gov agency exactly that way, but instead of them using the easement I told them to buy the whole lot! and they did, now there is a walkway and a bridge there. Best to spend your money where it really counts, how about helping the Illegals already here gain their citizenship, or help them move back home~Sorry but that's the way it is~
"to make it as time-consuming and expensive as possible".... that will show them.. or us? Wait, who's paying for the wall??? Ohh thats right, TAXPAYERS!
Trump said not taxpayers, so, yeah, lie number? Are we at 10,000 yet?
Load More Replies...Hmm if Government can take someone's farm to put in a highway don't you think that Government will just take that land to put up a wall? Really, don't people think things through before making such lavish purchases lol :)
Really, don’t people think things through before commenting on an article they didn’t read?

Or do ya think you will be able to canoe right out there and pick out a house??? What?!?! IMMIGRATION LAWS??? PREPOSTEROUS HEATHENS!!!
I am all for legal immigration which means people from other countries can come here and work on becoming a legal citizen of the United States of America. I am not for illegal immigrants whatsoever and that is the biggest problem on the borders of both Canada and Mexico. I used to live really close to the Mexican border. Hell I used to go party in Mexico back in my heyday every weekend. It was a blast! But I will not tolerate anyone who comes to this country looking for a free ride, to escape prison and/or to commit crimes over here. I will not tolerate anyone trying to reside in this country illegally. So with that said, I am not playing this game!
A fence won't stop illegal immigration and cards against humanity buying part of the border doesn't even support illegal immigration. Your logic is flawed.
Load More Replies...Build the wall around the front of this property, thereby letting 'Cards' support all the people who can't get over the wall. These are nice people and I am sure you won't have any trouble supporting them.
They can’t trap them behind the wall. They’d have to create an easement
Load More Replies...I love cards against humanity, and what there doing is pretty great
Didn't know you could buy government land......Don't think that you can And it would diffidently come under emimnet domain
Who said it was government land? They have retained lawyers well-versed in eminent domain, btw.
Load More Replies...Aside from this not being able to stop the govt, it doesn't even make sense. if they don't think it will work, then why stop it? if they are against the cost, why make it cost more? They obviously think it will work to some small degree and want some of that sweet sweet attention.
So 20 billion to keep out illegals versus over 100 billion a year to let them in and take care of them?? Hmmm let that sink in a min?!! FB_IMG_151...99718d.jpg
where did you get your statistics? fox news?
Load More Replies...Ok but this wont change anything. The Government may expropiate the land or even while this takes place put snipers in the area and shoot down any naive mexican that may try to pass through the gap.
good luck with that the state can take the land and those responsible could be charged with being co-conspirators in a crime i.e. illegal immigration. Have you seen the wall on Mexico's southern border? If you want to help those people then sponsor them or go to Mexico and help them.
What a joke the state can take the land and perhaps charge those trying to prevent the wall as co-conspirators in assisting criminal aliens in breaking the law.
This is probably the best plan to save the country I have seen in all my life
The game itself is ment to be offensive, and now they managed to offend the president, bravo.
Let's be real, if you vaguely disagree with Trump, he's going to be offended. And *SJWs* are the ones being called snowflakes.
Load More Replies...The level of cognitive distortion--put another way, the inability to think--necessary to hold left wing world views continues to amaze me. There is a difference between LEGAL immigration, and ILLEGAL immigration. Illegal immigration hurts legal immigrants too. It increases street crime. It gets people killed. None of this is the least bit complicated. My current best theory is that, lacking a coherent morality of any sort, leftists are more or less compelled to accept whatever their propagandists dictate to them.
It certainly won't change a wall being put up or border patrol... but makes a great new marketing strategy to sell games to the morons that don't understand immigration or border control issues....
I got news for the people who did this. The gov't can come in and condemn property and make the wall even if you are against. This will only be a very small bump in the road for them...a matter of filing. We need that wall, so F**k Cards Against Humanity.
While I despise Trump and nearly every Federal Republican, as a retired Federal law enforcement officer, I do not believe that any organization or individual can prevent the Federal Govt from building a wall along the border (I also feel that a wall there is expensive and silly).
Golem is wrong. Golem is a fighter made mystically from dirt and twigs to protect the people, preternaturally strong.
So we got Trump now. Deal with it! So what did everyone think of "Our first chimpanzee president"? ... Before you call me RACIST, look through your big black box of white cards. That one is in there! Was always fun to pair up with the black card about "Lifetime presents ____ The story of _____,", along with the other white card that says "Barack Obama". I used to have respect for CAH, but with this anti-American promotional tactic, you may sell a few more boxes, but lose long time fans. now-in-boo...7ced08.png
So what you're saying is, they can make fun of one president but not the other? Get a grip xD This entire company is only here to offend. That's how it stays relevant and sells so many copies. It's a fun game. People who let their political beliefs ruin jokes and parodies sure must be fun at parties. That goes for people on both sides of the political spectrum. If you like the game, play it. Don't get all butt hurt when it finally offends you after you been offending everything else while playing it.
Load More Replies...LOL greatest thing ever yes they will have to petition every owner and have to bring them to court . I suggest you sell the air rights as well and any mineral rights as well .. just to make sure they cant get anything at all .
I guess they havent heard of eminent domain...lol ...oh and there is also the " right of way " that every property owner gives up at signing to allow state and local governments access whatever they deem necessary ......
I guess you haven't heard of unlawful imprisonment.
Load More Replies...There really are very dumb people on this link. First off, this is false advertisement and nothing more. If some of you would remember you 7th grade government class no one can buy any property right on the border with Mexico. Why you ask? It's called the Roosevelt Reservation. Where as, the federal government owns the first 60 feet of land at the Mexico/ US border. Even California the federal government owns that land as well. All you people did was keep a failing company from falling down faster. However, I do enjoy CAH very funny game.
Someone wasted their money by not doing their research. Now that's funny..... I suspect public education and to many bong hits is to blame.... "Roosevelt Reservation. The Roosevelt Reservation is a 60-foot (18 m) strip of land on the United States side of the United States-Mexico Border under the jurisdiction of the United States Federal Government."
And, just HOW is preventing drug smugglers, potential terrorists and people who milk our welfare system from illegally entering America a bad thing? Legal ways are available for Mexicans and anybody else to immigrate. You can't be serious! If you believe this, then maybe YOU should start paying more taxes to pay for extra law enforcement and welfare programs.
LMAO. If the govt wants it, they'll get it. But here's the kicker: Trump has said the wall idea is being discarded, and instead he's going to focus on revamping and rebuilding existing fences and walling that has deteriorated over time. So they bought the plot of land for nothing when it comes to "resisting" Trump hahahaha. Oh man, gotta love liberals. Never doing their research. Ignoring facts. And basically shooting themselves in the foot. I wish I could say, "when are they gonna learn" but I honestly don't want them to learn. It's too fun watching them trip over their own feet and making fools out of themselves so much.
''We are going to save America *and attempt to keep our brand relevant in 2017*''. Does this really not seem fishy to anyone? Preventing borders from being build just furthers the problem of illegal immigration which doesn't help anyone you know. Immigrants are people essential in every country, they support the economy and growth plus they got a chance to make some money themselves! A real help would be a program integrating those people in Americas' society, maybe some free English classes; but I guess that wouldn't be enough of a stunt ''to keep their brand relevant''
Many churches are not offering free English classes for immigrants. But I guess thats not as grandiose and ineffective as this stunt, so you wont be seeing it on BoredPanda anytime soon.
Load More Replies...I still haven't heard any explanation as to what the administration intends to do about that Indian tribe whose land crosses the border.

Freely live there whether you are a citizen or a non-citizen...RIGHT?! Please, dear God!! PLEASE tell me you DO know that...RIGHT?!?! ALL countries have IMMIGRATION LAWS!!! Morons...smh
So why don't we treat the Mexican border like we do the Canadian border, which is actually much longer? Go to hell you c**t.

Did they ever think the wall could be built, with them on the other side?
No. They’d have to create an easement. They can’t trap people behind the wall.
Load More Replies...All fine until the government claims the land for the wall as an easement just like the utilities. Won't be a thing they can do to stop the wall from being built. Good try though.
Then they’d have to give an easement to the landowners. They can’t trap them behind the wall
Load More Replies...So, if Cards Against Humanity believes that the wall will accomplish nothing, why bother?
sigh... since all mexicans in the US arent there illegally, trump doesnt "hate mexicans". trying to stem the flow of illegals into the country and deporting the ones that are here is not going to somehow include everyone that is from central america. just the ones that are illegal. i dont know why this is so hard for people to understand
I wonder if Cards Against Humanity ever heard of Imminent Domain? The government can take anything it wants: your money, your property or your kids. Anyone who thinks buying a piece of desert is going to stop anything is clueless.
They're just trying to be pests and lol when Trump and/or his followers get bent out of shape because of it.
Load More Replies...Hate to bust your bubble, but if the government wants a part or all of your property they can legally get it whether you want to sell it or not. You need to check the laws of this country. If you refuse their offer for the property all they have to do is give you fair market price for it and you can refuse all you want, but they will get it.
Hate to burst your bubble but that’s explained in the article you didn’t read.
Load More Replies...Build around it. Congrats on your worthless piece of land on the Mexico side.
.....As soon as the email came in from them I purchased it ...except I'm in Canada and it ended up being $35
They're already all sold out. I was going to do it too, lol.
Load More Replies...This is stupid on an epic level. We will just build around your little plot of land and watch you cry.
I don't understand, the trumptards could simply build the wall behind the area so to leave it on the mexican side of the wall with minimum added effort.
Mexico would have to give them the land. We don’t own Mexico so our government can’t just go in there and steal their land to build a wall.
Load More Replies...Oh, they are so clever -- however, 2 words come to mind - eminent domain - sorry card players, you won't win this one
From the article "In a spoof explanation video, the game is giving a piece of land to all people who took part in the promotion, meaning that if the US government wanted to construct the border wall, it would have to drag every individual to court." It's about making it incredibly difficult.
Load More Replies...Why's it available in Canada if it's not available in other countries? We don't give a f**k about your wall either. We're just "the dumb country you don't live in".
Who says the wall HAS to be built close to the border? Build it so their plot is on the Mexixo side of the wall. Problem solved!
They can’t block people in. They’d have to make an easement.
Load More Replies...Trump won’t build a wall. But anyway if a wall is built around it then there’d have to be a hole in it for the easement neeed.
Load More Replies...I guess you’ve never heard of reading the article
Load More Replies...How stupid....all they have to do is build around the lot. Go back several hundred feet on US side, problem solved. Notice they say "lot" not acreage.
Then they’d have to make a hole in the wall for the easement needed.
Load More Replies...I think the American people should boycott the game, the company that makes the game and any stores selling the game! If you can't support OUR President and the security of our country then why should WE THE PEOPLE support you? There are many other games families can play instead
Second, walls along borders have been proven time and time again to do NOTHING to stop criminals and criminal activities. In terms of illegal immigrants, the vast majority of whom are only criminals because they came to the country illegally, over 2/3rds of them came into the country legally and never left, the vast majority of whom FLEW into the country, something a wall will not stop. Then, of course, you can dig under the wall, something El Chapo is famous for, doing nothing to stop criminals from coming into the country. And finally, drug cartels, which have tens of billions of dollars available to them, can easily bribe border guards to just let them through. All this wall will accomplish is strain relationships with one of our largest trading partners, INCREASE criminal activity, and waste billions on a project that will effectively do nothing to stop what it intends to stop.
Load More Replies...This is great! Thanks CAH for jacking up the price of the wall that we will inevitably have to foot the bill for. So clever, yet so ignorant. Stooping to the level of the president isn't playing hero, it's playing jackass. But shoot, I love paying out the a*s in taxes...
LMAO that won't stop the govt from getting what they want. But here's the real kicker: Trump has already stated the wall idea is discarded, and he's instead going to revamp and upgrade existing walls and fences that have deteriorated over time. LMAO so they bought that plot of land for nothing. God I love liberals. They're always their own undoing.
FIrst off, this is CAH, not some liberal organization intent on stopping Trump. This was a part of a publicity stunt that they do every year to sell more cards at Christmas, this is the first time they made it political, though, mainly because it would sell more cards. Second, they never stated they would STOP the wall from being built, merely make it a hassle. Third, the package comes with multiple goodies, not just the plot of land in the promo. Fourth, if you actually believe anything CAH says, you are clearly not too familiar with their sense of humor, meaning you probably wouldn't be buying their games anyway so they really don't care much about your opinion.
Load More Replies...These guys need to read up on the concept of Imminent Domain. Trump will build his wall, and there are legal precedents in place that will allow that to happen. Always remember, like it or hate it, the Federal Government has the power to legally seize property. After all, they write the laws.
You should read up on the article, where that is addressed.
Load More Replies...Way better idea than covering the area with anthrax spores rendering it unsafe for humans to work in perpetuity.
Dumb as f**k. Stick to stupid card games. Although your game is dumb as f**k also.
since every "mexican" (see: all central americans) isnt here illegally, the wall and immigration reform wont affect all hispanic people. if they are in the US legally, they have no fear of being deported. so no, trump doesnt "hate all mexicans". hes just trying to fix the problems with illegals. not deport everyone that speaks spanish. i dont know why this is so hard for people to understand.
Clearly they don't know how the law works, little thing called eminent domain. The government can snatch that land right from them.
Who says the wall has to go exactly along the border?What if the put the wall just North of the land that these folks bought?
Then they will have to create an easement for the owners of the land. In case you might not know what that means, it would essentially be a path of access to let the landowners out. They can’t trap them behind the wall with no way out. And that would make the function of that portion of the wall useless.
Load More Replies...HAhahahaha! its called eminent domain! the government can just take it back, hahahah wow you would think somebody would have figured that out before spending the money!!
Hahaha! That's why they retained lawyers proficient in eminent domain cases! hahaha! You obviously know nothing about this group!

fact for conservatives: more legal people commit crimes than illegal. that is crime that shouldn't be here. more gun crimes are committed by legal residents than illegal. most "illegals" who come are seeking a better life and trying to get away from horrible lives. and finally Puerto Rico is an american territory. just some more information they seem to "forget"
Load More Replies...Apparently you guys don't understand the concept of eminent domain. And accomplish nothing? How about saving us hard working taxpayers billions and keeping out criminals?
Undocumented immigrants pay more taxes than your president, and there are probably more criminals on Wall Street, who will never see jail for a day in their life (probably because they own stock in the private prison system that administrates more and more of those jails), than will ever cross the US-Mexico border.
Load More Replies...... I mean it's great and all... But Trump is probably gonna build around it. Guess it's a good message however. Unless I'm wrong and confused with how that works... Which that's possible too.
I live in another 'dumb Country' and am happy to donate $15 seeing I can't sign up.
They can’t trap people behind the wall. They’d have to create an easement to allow access for people behind it.
Load More Replies...President Dorito can't build his wall!!! Oh no!!! What is he going to do??? I don't believe he could've built it anyway, and now he has an excuse. "Oh dammit, these Mexicans can still crossover. Sorry all my right wing idiot followers, it's not my fault. Blame CAH!"
Only in America! You can actually by a piece of the border...ill be surprised if it didn't bought the soldiers guarding the border as well.
Our country has fallen so far on the intelligence scale, that I'm pretty sure we are headed the way of France and Britain anyway. Let in terrorist, illegals. Yeah that's the way you do it. SMH. How stupid.
It has fallen very low instead. Look at it: it's got a 5-year-old, failed businessman for a president.
Load More Replies...*note to self.... throw the game out* we can play a different game this year. I hate when companies get involved in politics. Ruins it for me and mine.
Just a bunch of idiots on a fool's errand. To think they can stop the Federal Government from building a wall or fence merely demonstrates that ignorance. I will watch with interest as the Government crushes these fools.
You have missed the entire point here! You are taking it seriously!! LOL!!
Load More Replies...The people who bought in already play the game and so worst case scenario is its an expansion to their game. Sorry try again.
Load More Replies...Why is everyone against building the wall? It's a protection strategy. Same reason your house has a door or fence.
It will cost billions to build and maintain and it doesn't address the main way people enter the country and end up there illegally (the majority enter on a visa and outstay it). The wall won't stop tunnels or ladders either.
Load More Replies...just how blind are you behind those rose colored glasses? trump has multiple failed companies, has nothing but lies and bluster in his pockets and hand up his bum, and btw everyone wants to live in america LEGALLY< its you conservatives that want to make sure only white people can do it that way.
Load More Replies...Do you own a set of CAH? I really doubt that. Playing this game and being such a sensitive killjoy is way too ironic 😂
Load More Replies...I guess you could say this is... game changing. I will let myself out.
Lol I invite you back in good sir. Ur puns are great
Load More Replies...This proyect should be copied along the border, not for the migration of people, but for the migration of animals that live both sides of the border without visa.
Great post bcuz no one ever takes account for what we are doing to wildlife. We've blocked every route for the animals. https://www.mnn.com/green-tech/transportation/blogs/every-line-mesmerizing-map-is-road-US
Load More Replies...Although I guess that a state has full right of eminent domain in such a case, and although the small area will not help anyone to actually cross the border, this is a rather strong sign. It is just up for discussion if this is actually a sign meant to be humane or just clever marketing...
it's clever marketing. mostly it's just funny. sometimes you just have to take a break and just laugh.
Load More Replies...Hilarious. What're they going to do when he plays the "Imminent Domain" card?? Seems pretty straight forward.
It still would have to go to court. The Trump Administration would have to prove, that particlar property is vital with no other route. Then, if Trump wins, they’d have to pay marketing value... which after the media circus it’s bound to go up.
Load More Replies...This is a level of stupid not seen every day. The US will get and easement, determine there is no loss of value to use and enjoyment, the these idiots will have paid for a big chunk of useless property.
Yeah, right. Dream on. The biggest surprise will be Donald Trump actually SAVING America from fools aka snowflakes. Any so-called unclaimed land along the border is owned by the US government. Or else it would be all claimed by now, just think of the commercial value of that land if corporations could own it. American companies who defected to Mexico due to high US taxes, like Hershey, and many others would have a processing and/or distribution plant just on the Mexican side of the border, with US distribution and delivery directly on the US side. You don't see that too much, cuz the US government has jurisdiction over the land on the US side, and would do little good the companies based in Mexico.
So, nobody with land at the border ever needs to sell some. To oh., maybe pay for a doctor visit?
Load More Replies...Well, the answer is when the wall gets to your property line, they can make a 90* turn proceed to the end of your property, make another 90* turn, proceed to the next corner and make another 90* , leaving you on the Mexican side of the fence. HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR NEW NEIGHBORS. :)
depending on the size of land and where it lays, they would have to cut a LARGE swath of area out of the way, and if planned correctly. could even force them to go through city territory. its all in the planning and ALSO why they put lawyers on retainer.
Load More Replies...That's a ballsy move. I'm sure people on one side will buy the game based on it, but remember that this move is against the party that was just elected, so it's going against just as many people. If I had a company (especially one built on something really offensive, ironically enough) I'd keep politics the hell out of it. I've played Cards Against Humanity and I laughed my a*s off.....because it's offensive. I think the founders should've done this campaign as a personal sidepiece and kept the company out of it. I lose respect for companies that suddenly hitch to one particular cause and go to war over it. It's like when someone goes to a comedy club and laughs at the gay joke, the racial joke, but then gets offended when it comes to the fat joke and they're suddenly outraged.
I think the difference is that one is a "comedy club" and the other thing is called "the reality"
Load More Replies...A silly ploy against the Government power of eminent domain. Waste of time and money if you ask me. He can make new legislation by executive action to nullify the entire effort just on the grounds of what it was done for.
it's not gonna do a f*****g thing...in fact it won't cost the Government anything to still build the wall right there....
Thats what we would call setting up u funnelling area for the alien hunters haha
I'd LOVE to see people who actually own the land threaten to shoot those immigrant hunters for trespassing.
Load More Replies...Imminent Domain is real and it’s on all borders and everywhere you look. If you think that property backs directly up to a federal fence keeping illegals out and it’s yours, you have lost your minds! The country has leeway so your property will still have the law driving on this side of that fence and the entire length of it and besides what kind of idiot wants illegal aliens to come over. Maybe we don’t like what you are doing and your putting families in danger and maybe your sorry arses should go to jail.
This is BS! Trump didn't get into office by simply sitting down in the chair...over one half of the voting citizens of this country voted him into office. Trump has no hate for Mexicans, but we the people are tired of the drugs, human trafficking, and illegals who come here at will without going through due process. I hope the owners of this piece of land end up in Prison for ATTEMPTING to obstruct justice, but eminent domain will make the wall happen even here!! ;)
I don't understand why some Americans don't want border security.
Load More Replies...a Law firm cannot stop it, just ask my Neighbors when Obama seized their land in TX to build a Facility for immigrants to get screened for diseases and housed until shipped all over the US
Load More Replies...Guess these idiots haven't heard of eminent domain and the Supremacy Clause in the Constitution.
Its a publicity stunt. They bought a piece of land that was adjacent to the federal border zone (ie Federal land). So they aren't blocking anything.
People that think this will actually work...are stupid. "Hired eminent domain lawyers"...MORE wasted money. Nobody has ever successfully defeated federal eminent domain. This is a publicity stunt, and "supporters" are rubes...people with well intentions, but unwittingly being used to further a stunt to regenerate traffic and interest to a dying card game.
Thank you, CAH. You've made a mad man with unlimited resources have to go to lengths to do what he wants to do regarding the wall. So that bill for dragging however many people to court, will only reflect on the bill taxpayers will have to pay for this stupid a*s wall. This isn't heroic, it's ignorant...
All presidents are liars, as was Hillary, I fail to understand why it matters if the toilet water is blue.
different colors different poison. some people like their poison different ways is all.
Load More Replies...Congress approved building the wall in 2006. It's to late to challenge the eminent domain claim by the US. That's why this property is worthless.
build the wall arround that land and it will soon become part of Mexico
Exactly! These idiots are beating their chest and scratching their small balls, and stomping around like they have accomplished the best thing since white bread... Whatever they think they have accomplished or achieved, the Lawyers can try as they might, to say... But what about this... and what about that... The Government thought of everything and the counters to those things too.... long before these little p**s ants came up with their insignificant plans and idea's.
Load More Replies...I bet they laugh all the way to the bank. They know about eminent domain or they could just go around the land so it is all on Mexico's side. By the way have you seen the wall Mexico built on their southern boarder?
I live in southern Mexico. There is no wall. Read this, please: https://www.snopes.com/mexico-guatemala-border/
Load More Replies...This is a publicity stunt. The only thing they're doing is piggybacking on the controversy surrounding the wall to garner attention so that they can make more sales. Realistically, it's a joke because legally they can't use their little piece of property to let anyone in or out - not without legal repercussions, so what's the point? Furthermore, the wall, if it ever does even get built (which is unlikely to begin with precisely because of private property rights issues), would only be built on key locations across the border that are known smuggling, illegal immigration hot spots. Private property rights is already an issue - Cards Against Humanity didn't invent it by buying a piece of border property and touting themselves as everyone's savior. They're simply capitalizing on an opportunity to market their product. Trump would be proud. Big wup.
While all of you that support this b******t and laugh and joke about how dumb you think Trump is and building the wall is stupid, I want you to read this article. (https://www.themaven.net/bluelivesmatter/fallen-heroes/hero-down-u-s-border-patrol-agent-rogelio-martinez-murdered-S2CP8wHrRk2qutTSz9r1Fw) This just happened this past weekend! Don't build a wall and those who are there to protect you from terrorists such as these ILLEGAL aliens!

May Officer Martinez rest in peace....

I don't think anyone on this site actually understands what eminent domain means
I'm just wondering when the federal government starts eminent domain proceedings, who will be stuck with the paying the costs?
I think they are a group of disillusioned losers who can’t understand the basics of a nations sovereignty or laws. There’s something called eminent domain which the government can use to obtain the land to build the wall. So you are simply wasting the donations of the lemmings who blindly donate to support your warped view of life.
You're WRONG. Our president is NOT afraid of Mexico WE THE PEOPLE are sick and tired of open borders so all kinds of trash, gangs, criminals and terrorists are just walking through and expecting WE THE PEOPLE to take care of them!! BUILD THE WALL AND BUILD IT HIGH! GO TRUMP GO!!
Silly. If the wall ever does get built, it'll just curve around them. The chunk it takes out of the US will be negligible. BTW, the Dineh indians already own land that straddles the border -- and they *want* the wall; they're determined that it will take a chunk out of Mexico, so CAH's piece will be (at least) balanced out. I bet you didn't know that the people who really, *really* hate Mexicans are the Indian tribes! It's true. The Pueblo-nation tribes have been fighting with Mexico (first the Aztecs, then the Conquistadors) since at least 1200 CE. It's a pity that nobody asks the Indians about *their* history, which would shed considerable light on modern politics.
People only care about what the Indians think if it's what they agree with, sadly. That's what I'm seeing at least. If it's a "Minority" vs "Minority" people turn their heads. :(
Load More Replies...That's extremely rude and you probably shouldn't be posting things like that on the internet where everyone can see it's you- like your job... I get you don't have the same opinion but I don't think it's ok to say they need to /die/ because of it. :(
Load More Replies...Yeah but, I thought ownership of land or property in general was racist against the native Americans who used to own it, and opposed to the goals of a socialist utopia society? Does this mean CAH embraces capitalism and American values of greed and prosperity?
So I guess left wing IDIOTS don`t mind having an unsecure boarder? WHY would they think that ok? KARMA has a way of dealing with dumbass`s like this...
you know, Trump didn't come to be the president by just going into the oval office and sitting down there, he was elected by half of the voting population of this nation!! he does NOT hate Mexicans nor do Americans, BUT we hate the drugs brought in, the human trafficking of criminal Mexicans right here in this country under our noses, and we hate that they just come at will ignoring our laws and due process. I hope those who bought this land and plan to use it to obstruct justice go to prison and eminent domain will allow the wall to be built anyhow...or perhaps citizens who have had enough of this type of anarchy against our president!!!
I think it's kind of a b******t post? Why? Let's see, isn't the phrase 'preposterous golem' a JEW phrase? I kinda think so. We get much of our SECURITY IDEAS FROM ISRAEL, SO if a wall between Israel and her enemies works and works well, it's GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME! So I suggest you, you commie bastard, go find find something else about THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA to complain!
While you silly idealists were playing cards, Mr. Trump was playing bigger games. You will stop nothing; he will build right past your property setback kids.
TIL that 'playing bigger games' = 'telling more lies'
Load More Replies...Maybe people should mind their own business and get out of others. Hey Cards, what are you doing about pedophilia? About children at the age of 9 forced to marry men in their 50's? How about the genocide of Christians? How are those "real" issues going for ya!!
Genocide of Christians? In America? And why are you letting your daughter marry an old man? What are you doing about pedophilia? Have you reported your pastor to the cops?
Load More Replies...All he has to do is apply the Eminant Domain Law and build it in the easements of the land, and there isn't one thing they can do about it~too bad those GREAT ATTORNEY's didn't tell you that BEFORE you purchased the land. I know we had our home bought by a gov agency exactly that way, but instead of them using the easement I told them to buy the whole lot! and they did, now there is a walkway and a bridge there. Best to spend your money where it really counts, how about helping the Illegals already here gain their citizenship, or help them move back home~Sorry but that's the way it is~
"to make it as time-consuming and expensive as possible".... that will show them.. or us? Wait, who's paying for the wall??? Ohh thats right, TAXPAYERS!
Trump said not taxpayers, so, yeah, lie number? Are we at 10,000 yet?
Load More Replies...Hmm if Government can take someone's farm to put in a highway don't you think that Government will just take that land to put up a wall? Really, don't people think things through before making such lavish purchases lol :)

I am all for legal immigration which means people from other countries can come here and work on becoming a legal citizen of the United States of America. I am not for illegal immigrants whatsoever and that is the biggest problem on the borders of both Canada and Mexico. I used to live really close to the Mexican border. Hell I used to go party in Mexico back in my heyday every weekend. It was a blast! But I will not tolerate anyone who comes to this country looking for a free ride, to escape prison and/or to commit crimes over here. I will not tolerate anyone trying to reside in this country illegally. So with that said, I am not playing this game!
A fence won't stop illegal immigration and cards against humanity buying part of the border doesn't even support illegal immigration. Your logic is flawed.
Load More Replies...Build the wall around the front of this property, thereby letting 'Cards' support all the people who can't get over the wall. These are nice people and I am sure you won't have any trouble supporting them.
They can’t trap them behind the wall. They’d have to create an easement
Load More Replies...I love cards against humanity, and what there doing is pretty great
Didn't know you could buy government land......Don't think that you can And it would diffidently come under emimnet domain
Who said it was government land? They have retained lawyers well-versed in eminent domain, btw.
Load More Replies...Aside from this not being able to stop the govt, it doesn't even make sense. if they don't think it will work, then why stop it? if they are against the cost, why make it cost more? They obviously think it will work to some small degree and want some of that sweet sweet attention.
So 20 billion to keep out illegals versus over 100 billion a year to let them in and take care of them?? Hmmm let that sink in a min?!! FB_IMG_151...99718d.jpg
where did you get your statistics? fox news?
Load More Replies...Ok but this wont change anything. The Government may expropiate the land or even while this takes place put snipers in the area and shoot down any naive mexican that may try to pass through the gap.
good luck with that the state can take the land and those responsible could be charged with being co-conspirators in a crime i.e. illegal immigration. Have you seen the wall on Mexico's southern border? If you want to help those people then sponsor them or go to Mexico and help them.
What a joke the state can take the land and perhaps charge those trying to prevent the wall as co-conspirators in assisting criminal aliens in breaking the law.
This is probably the best plan to save the country I have seen in all my life
The game itself is ment to be offensive, and now they managed to offend the president, bravo.
Let's be real, if you vaguely disagree with Trump, he's going to be offended. And *SJWs* are the ones being called snowflakes.
Load More Replies...The level of cognitive distortion--put another way, the inability to think--necessary to hold left wing world views continues to amaze me. There is a difference between LEGAL immigration, and ILLEGAL immigration. Illegal immigration hurts legal immigrants too. It increases street crime. It gets people killed. None of this is the least bit complicated. My current best theory is that, lacking a coherent morality of any sort, leftists are more or less compelled to accept whatever their propagandists dictate to them.
It certainly won't change a wall being put up or border patrol... but makes a great new marketing strategy to sell games to the morons that don't understand immigration or border control issues....
I got news for the people who did this. The gov't can come in and condemn property and make the wall even if you are against. This will only be a very small bump in the road for them...a matter of filing. We need that wall, so F**k Cards Against Humanity.
While I despise Trump and nearly every Federal Republican, as a retired Federal law enforcement officer, I do not believe that any organization or individual can prevent the Federal Govt from building a wall along the border (I also feel that a wall there is expensive and silly).
Golem is wrong. Golem is a fighter made mystically from dirt and twigs to protect the people, preternaturally strong.
So we got Trump now. Deal with it! So what did everyone think of "Our first chimpanzee president"? ... Before you call me RACIST, look through your big black box of white cards. That one is in there! Was always fun to pair up with the black card about "Lifetime presents ____ The story of _____,", along with the other white card that says "Barack Obama". I used to have respect for CAH, but with this anti-American promotional tactic, you may sell a few more boxes, but lose long time fans. now-in-boo...7ced08.png
So what you're saying is, they can make fun of one president but not the other? Get a grip xD This entire company is only here to offend. That's how it stays relevant and sells so many copies. It's a fun game. People who let their political beliefs ruin jokes and parodies sure must be fun at parties. That goes for people on both sides of the political spectrum. If you like the game, play it. Don't get all butt hurt when it finally offends you after you been offending everything else while playing it.
Load More Replies...LOL greatest thing ever yes they will have to petition every owner and have to bring them to court . I suggest you sell the air rights as well and any mineral rights as well .. just to make sure they cant get anything at all .
I guess they havent heard of eminent domain...lol ...oh and there is also the " right of way " that every property owner gives up at signing to allow state and local governments access whatever they deem necessary ......
I guess you haven't heard of unlawful imprisonment.
Load More Replies...There really are very dumb people on this link. First off, this is false advertisement and nothing more. If some of you would remember you 7th grade government class no one can buy any property right on the border with Mexico. Why you ask? It's called the Roosevelt Reservation. Where as, the federal government owns the first 60 feet of land at the Mexico/ US border. Even California the federal government owns that land as well. All you people did was keep a failing company from falling down faster. However, I do enjoy CAH very funny game.
Someone wasted their money by not doing their research. Now that's funny..... I suspect public education and to many bong hits is to blame.... "Roosevelt Reservation. The Roosevelt Reservation is a 60-foot (18 m) strip of land on the United States side of the United States-Mexico Border under the jurisdiction of the United States Federal Government."
And, just HOW is preventing drug smugglers, potential terrorists and people who milk our welfare system from illegally entering America a bad thing? Legal ways are available for Mexicans and anybody else to immigrate. You can't be serious! If you believe this, then maybe YOU should start paying more taxes to pay for extra law enforcement and welfare programs.
LMAO. If the govt wants it, they'll get it. But here's the kicker: Trump has said the wall idea is being discarded, and instead he's going to focus on revamping and rebuilding existing fences and walling that has deteriorated over time. So they bought the plot of land for nothing when it comes to "resisting" Trump hahahaha. Oh man, gotta love liberals. Never doing their research. Ignoring facts. And basically shooting themselves in the foot. I wish I could say, "when are they gonna learn" but I honestly don't want them to learn. It's too fun watching them trip over their own feet and making fools out of themselves so much.
''We are going to save America *and attempt to keep our brand relevant in 2017*''. Does this really not seem fishy to anyone? Preventing borders from being build just furthers the problem of illegal immigration which doesn't help anyone you know. Immigrants are people essential in every country, they support the economy and growth plus they got a chance to make some money themselves! A real help would be a program integrating those people in Americas' society, maybe some free English classes; but I guess that wouldn't be enough of a stunt ''to keep their brand relevant''
Many churches are not offering free English classes for immigrants. But I guess thats not as grandiose and ineffective as this stunt, so you wont be seeing it on BoredPanda anytime soon.

Freely live there whether you are a citizen or a non-citizen...RIGHT?! Please, dear God!! PLEASE tell me you DO know that...RIGHT?!?! ALL countries have IMMIGRATION LAWS!!! Morons...smh

Did they ever think the wall could be built, with them on the other side?
No. They’d have to create an easement. They can’t trap people behind the wall.
Load More Replies...All fine until the government claims the land for the wall as an easement just like the utilities. Won't be a thing they can do to stop the wall from being built. Good try though.
Then they’d have to give an easement to the landowners. They can’t trap them behind the wall
Load More Replies...So, if Cards Against Humanity believes that the wall will accomplish nothing, why bother?
sigh... since all mexicans in the US arent there illegally, trump doesnt "hate mexicans". trying to stem the flow of illegals into the country and deporting the ones that are here is not going to somehow include everyone that is from central america. just the ones that are illegal. i dont know why this is so hard for people to understand
I wonder if Cards Against Humanity ever heard of Imminent Domain? The government can take anything it wants: your money, your property or your kids. Anyone who thinks buying a piece of desert is going to stop anything is clueless.
They're just trying to be pests and lol when Trump and/or his followers get bent out of shape because of it.
Load More Replies...Hate to bust your bubble, but if the government wants a part or all of your property they can legally get it whether you want to sell it or not. You need to check the laws of this country. If you refuse their offer for the property all they have to do is give you fair market price for it and you can refuse all you want, but they will get it.

Load More Replies...This is stupid on an epic level. We will just build around your little plot of land and watch you cry.
I don't understand, the trumptards could simply build the wall behind the area so to leave it on the mexican side of the wall with minimum added effort.
Mexico would have to give them the land. We don’t own Mexico so our government can’t just go in there and steal their land to build a wall.
Load More Replies...Oh, they are so clever -- however, 2 words come to mind - eminent domain - sorry card players, you won't win this one
From the article "In a spoof explanation video, the game is giving a piece of land to all people who took part in the promotion, meaning that if the US government wanted to construct the border wall, it would have to drag every individual to court." It's about making it incredibly difficult.
Load More Replies...Why's it available in Canada if it's not available in other countries? We don't give a f**k about your wall either. We're just "the dumb country you don't live in".
Who says the wall HAS to be built close to the border? Build it so their plot is on the Mexixo side of the wall. Problem solved!
They can’t block people in. They’d have to make an easement.

Then they’d have to make a hole in the wall for the easement needed.
Load More Replies...I think the American people should boycott the game, the company that makes the game and any stores selling the game! If you can't support OUR President and the security of our country then why should WE THE PEOPLE support you? There are many other games families can play instead
Second, walls along borders have been proven time and time again to do NOTHING to stop criminals and criminal activities. In terms of illegal immigrants, the vast majority of whom are only criminals because they came to the country illegally, over 2/3rds of them came into the country legally and never left, the vast majority of whom FLEW into the country, something a wall will not stop. Then, of course, you can dig under the wall, something El Chapo is famous for, doing nothing to stop criminals from coming into the country. And finally, drug cartels, which have tens of billions of dollars available to them, can easily bribe border guards to just let them through. All this wall will accomplish is strain relationships with one of our largest trading partners, INCREASE criminal activity, and waste billions on a project that will effectively do nothing to stop what it intends to stop.
Load More Replies...This is great! Thanks CAH for jacking up the price of the wall that we will inevitably have to foot the bill for. So clever, yet so ignorant. Stooping to the level of the president isn't playing hero, it's playing jackass. But shoot, I love paying out the a*s in taxes...
LMAO that won't stop the govt from getting what they want. But here's the real kicker: Trump has already stated the wall idea is discarded, and he's instead going to revamp and upgrade existing walls and fences that have deteriorated over time. LMAO so they bought that plot of land for nothing. God I love liberals. They're always their own undoing.
FIrst off, this is CAH, not some liberal organization intent on stopping Trump. This was a part of a publicity stunt that they do every year to sell more cards at Christmas, this is the first time they made it political, though, mainly because it would sell more cards. Second, they never stated they would STOP the wall from being built, merely make it a hassle. Third, the package comes with multiple goodies, not just the plot of land in the promo. Fourth, if you actually believe anything CAH says, you are clearly not too familiar with their sense of humor, meaning you probably wouldn't be buying their games anyway so they really don't care much about your opinion.
Load More Replies...These guys need to read up on the concept of Imminent Domain. Trump will build his wall, and there are legal precedents in place that will allow that to happen. Always remember, like it or hate it, the Federal Government has the power to legally seize property. After all, they write the laws.
You should read up on the article, where that is addressed.

Dumb as f**k. Stick to stupid card games. Although your game is dumb as f**k also.
since every "mexican" (see: all central americans) isnt here illegally, the wall and immigration reform wont affect all hispanic people. if they are in the US legally, they have no fear of being deported. so no, trump doesnt "hate all mexicans". hes just trying to fix the problems with illegals. not deport everyone that speaks spanish. i dont know why this is so hard for people to understand.
Clearly they don't know how the law works, little thing called eminent domain. The government can snatch that land right from them.
Who says the wall has to go exactly along the border?What if the put the wall just North of the land that these folks bought?
Then they will have to create an easement for the owners of the land. In case you might not know what that means, it would essentially be a path of access to let the landowners out. They can’t trap them behind the wall with no way out. And that would make the function of that portion of the wall useless.

Hahaha! That's why they retained lawyers proficient in eminent domain cases! hahaha! You obviously know nothing about this group!

fact for conservatives: more legal people commit crimes than illegal. that is crime that shouldn't be here. more gun crimes are committed by legal residents than illegal. most "illegals" who come are seeking a better life and trying to get away from horrible lives. and finally Puerto Rico is an american territory. just some more information they seem to "forget"
Load More Replies...Apparently you guys don't understand the concept of eminent domain. And accomplish nothing? How about saving us hard working taxpayers billions and keeping out criminals?
Undocumented immigrants pay more taxes than your president, and there are probably more criminals on Wall Street, who will never see jail for a day in their life (probably because they own stock in the private prison system that administrates more and more of those jails), than will ever cross the US-Mexico border.
Load More Replies...... I mean it's great and all... But Trump is probably gonna build around it. Guess it's a good message however. Unless I'm wrong and confused with how that works... Which that's possible too.
I live in another 'dumb Country' and am happy to donate $15 seeing I can't sign up.
They can’t trap people behind the wall. They’d have to create an easement to allow access for people behind it.

Only in America! You can actually by a piece of the border...ill be surprised if it didn't bought the soldiers guarding the border as well.
Our country has fallen so far on the intelligence scale, that I'm pretty sure we are headed the way of France and Britain anyway. Let in terrorist, illegals. Yeah that's the way you do it. SMH. How stupid.
It has fallen very low instead. Look at it: it's got a 5-year-old, failed businessman for a president.

Just a bunch of idiots on a fool's errand. To think they can stop the Federal Government from building a wall or fence merely demonstrates that ignorance. I will watch with interest as the Government crushes these fools.
You have missed the entire point here! You are taking it seriously!! LOL!!
Load More Replies...The people who bought in already play the game and so worst case scenario is its an expansion to their game. Sorry try again.
Load More Replies...Why is everyone against building the wall? It's a protection strategy. Same reason your house has a door or fence.
It will cost billions to build and maintain and it doesn't address the main way people enter the country and end up there illegally (the majority enter on a visa and outstay it). The wall won't stop tunnels or ladders either.
Load More Replies...just how blind are you behind those rose colored glasses? trump has multiple failed companies, has nothing but lies and bluster in his pockets and hand up his bum, and btw everyone wants to live in america LEGALLY< its you conservatives that want to make sure only white people can do it that way.
Load More Replies...Do you own a set of CAH? I really doubt that. Playing this game and being such a sensitive killjoy is way too ironic 😂
