Uhhh, DU?

Just saw a side-bar ad for a "MAGA" ring here on DU. Does DU have any saw over who advertises here?

The ads are derived more from your searches and from cookies on your computer from different sites you visit more than anything else.

As little as $5 as much as you want. For some odd reason this summer I kept getting ads from some Wyoming republican, I live in Ohio.
