Cards Against Humanity’s Plot To Disrupt Donald Trump’s Border Wall Is Going Extremely Well

More than 150,000 people paid $15 to Cards Against Humanity to _________.

The correct answer, insomuch as the bawdy card game can have a correct answer, is “save America.” Here’s the gist: Cards Against Humanity purchased a plot of vacant land on the United States-Mexico border and, according to their manifesto, “retained a law firm specializing in eminent domain to make it as time-consuming and expensive as possible for the wall to get built.” It’s an ambitious stunt, one that requires a lot of patience, money, and legal guidance, but after day one, everything’s coming up Humanity.

Last month, 150,000 people paid us $15 to save America with six days of incredible stunts and surprises.

For Day One, we used some of the money to purchase a plot of vacant land on the US/Mexico border and retain a law firm specializing in eminent domain to make it as time-consuming and expensive as possible for Trump to build his preposterous wall. (Via)

“The whole legal process can take quite a long time. Who knows, maybe longer than the current president will be in office?” the lawyers at Graves, Dougherty, Hearon, & Moody said in a statement. “For however long it takes, we are ready for a protracted resistance to any attempts by the government to build a wall on this land.” Cards is quick to note that this inspired bit of trolling won’t stop the wall (“unfortunately, the United States government is more powerful than a comedy card game”), but they promise to “do everything we can to protest the wall and slow down the process of eminent domain. If Trump tries to build a wall on our land, we’ll be a big pain in the ass.” They’re not kidding.

Since the Trump administration is committed to using 12th-century military technology to protect our country from Mexican invaders, we have responded in kind by building a 30-foot trebuchet, a medieval catapult designed to destroy walls. We paid 300 gold to increase its attack damage, so it’s very powerful. (Via)

This is just day one. Cards still has five more days of surprises.
