Cards Against Humanity group put up 90-foot taunt of Donald Trump

Stuck in traffic near O'Hare International Airport, staring at that anti-Trump billboard and wondering who's on the Nuisance Committee that bankrolled it?

A super political action committee funded by ongoing sales of Cards Against Humanity's Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump card packs is spending $20,000 for the 90-foot billboard near interstates 90 and 294 in Chicago through the end of October.

The vinyl billboard, which went up Tuesday, reads: "If Trump is so rich how come he didn't buy this billboard? Trumpdoesntpaytaxes.com. Paid for by the Nuisance Committee and not authorized by any candidate or candidate committee."

"We're buying billboard space to call attention to Donald Trump's taxes and to annoy Donald Trump," Nuisance spokeswoman Kitty Kurth said Tuesday.

Would this be a more effective use of funds in Orlando, Charlotte or Cincinnati?

I second the removal of this billboard to the Orlando metro area...
