Ads: Damnable, lies, and just plain dumb

Yelling at the TV and turning the channel as insufferable "swing" state ads inundate us. One that makes my blood boil is the ones insinuating Tammy Baldwin and Kamala Harris are personally liable for encouraging criminal activity via immigration.

Didn't Trump stand by and stand back after fomenting a coup/riot nearly overthrowing our Democracy and people died amid the feces-smearing white male rampage in DC? Well Cons, didn't he!?

Like his candidacy as anything at all to do with sports or winning.

And the red/white/blue shirts... does he really think that makes him a patriot?

Unplug, cut the cord off and haul it to the curb. Haven't had one in many years and I am happier without it. It's a total useless waste of time. Any thing you want can be found on the internet without listening to endless ads. It pissed me off and now it's gone.

I've read and listened to my CD collection and downloads, and as soon as I venture into checking DU, other sites, or playing YouTube the ads are there and I click them down as fast as flies with a swatter. Count down to election day.
