From my perspective, he's given us a swift kick down a treacherous sliding board.

has a Trump product ad on its no pay site. Rather hypocritical when you can get a nasty slap on the wrist for posting anything that even smells of advancing Repuke ideology or talking points.

I use ad block and am a star member so I don't see them anyway but I understand the gut reaction to seeing that sort of crap on a site one would want to be "clean" - or that is meant to be from one perspective.

Trump will get ads related to Trump. If we complain continually about the RNC, the ads will be to donate to the RNC. If we spend a lot of words on Milo what's his name, you will see ads for his book.

DU doesn't choose the ads. The Google system does.

Right under the link to the source itself?

"Made America Great Again"

All they needed to say that was the black man out of the WH.
