    I think the point, like most things done by the CAH crew, is just to do something dumb for laughs just because they can.

    Realistically, they know it won't actually stop the wall. Even their eminent domain lawyers will get overruled eventually. But they will make it take time, and they will make it annoying, and that's at least as entertaining as watching people donate money to dig a pointless hole.

    Former government attorney here who did happen to work on eminent domain cases. It's not as simple as you say. See, the part where things get tied up in courts is not the legality of the condemnation--that's usually fine. But the actual valuation of the property is where the time comes in, because that can be litigated for *years*. Only once the price gets determined in court (if someone challenging the price offered by the government) can the acquisition go through. So yes, the Cards Against Humanity strategy is real. I've been there, on the other side.

    I know, I was meaning coontown and fatpeoplehate because they got purged off reddit a while back. But if the double standards of companies like Cloudflare and Google are any measure, /pol/'s purge may not be far off because they are far worse and far more influential than most others.

    This game is quite literally just filled with a certain type of "offensive" content which is really just inoffensive stuff the hipsters who made it think is naughty and playful. They are apologizing for stuff as mundane as cards that include rape and tranny jokes. I mean seriously. The fact that you think using words like niggers, cunts, kikes, or feminazi (etc) is so offensive that "they don't go as far as doing it" is just proving my point; it's not even a blip on the radar for the places I mentioned. Expanding brain memes about abortion+race, how Hitler didn't kill 6 million jews but he should have, and threads about the finer points of eugenics are considered introductory level stuff.

    You can’t fight eminent domain, but you can profit off eminent domain. The typical way is by building commercial or rental units in areas that you anticipate that the government plans to take over for their projects. Unlike the good old days, the government is now required to pay just compensation. Which includes loss income on top of the value of the properties & improvements. So rental properties are usually the best way to maximize your return. Also, if the project does not come through, you still have your rental income.

    It's not about winning it. It's about making it as time consuming and expensive as possible. It's a salt the earth tactic, I LOVE it.

    Looks like it's sold out at the moment though, if you wanted to get in on it.
    Eminent domain is pretty established. This won't stop the wall. Hopefully, logic and reason will.

    Logic and reason are not really factors that work for or against the wall. If you want to reduce the number of illegal crossings then a wall will accomplish that to varying degrees depending on how it's built. If reducing the number of illegal crossings is not desirable, then the wall would be pointless. It all depends on the person's priorities.

    The wall is a pointless, expensive endeavor that in a magical world where it works flawlessly won't even be 50% effective at stopping illegal immigration and was sold to Trump's voters on a lie.

    How is pointing out that a proposed border security plan is asinine equivalent to high treason?

    You are talking to someone, who used that as a reply, in a thread about taking citizen’s land... to build a wall...

    Trump’s business has made such requests before. When they tried to use government to take American’s land, so Trump Organization could build a theater. Didn’t work out then... but, he is president now...

    They don't have to stop it necessarily, just delay long enough.

    Is government taking citizens land a good thing or bad? Because I see no issue with someone giving people a choice to sell their land at a market value, before Trump and his goons eminent domain it.
