Totally unbelievable! Hollingsworth Hound showing a shred of decency!?

But this makes it sound like Hollingsworth didn’t know what he was getting into.

I would imagine that a lot of the people who jumped to support Trump & co. thought they knew what they were getting into, but badly underestimated the amount of chaos, sleaze, incompetence and outright criminality that was going to be involved.

I can’t even read the damn thing.
There are ads for the marines of all things (I hate authority- the military would kick me out in a heartbeat) blocking the damn comic.
Look, I’ll be frank. The ads lately have taken over the site, pop ups, following ads, ads that block static pictures, and no way to close them.
Ads are redirecting my browser forcibly regularly here, and only here.
I’m getting really tired of the abusiveness of this shit, and I think I will leave permanently if this keeps up for another month.

Did you see the cameo by Trump himself? He’s serving drinks at his own club!

Having the Russians portrayed as bears was obvious, but having them all wearing track suits. . . ?

A “Lucky Ducky” comic from Ruben! It’s gonna be a [reads comic] errr, bittersweet day.

“Dear God, they’ve sold out the country to Russian sleaze bags and sociopathic racists. Trump’s media enablers can ruin anyone that short-fingered idiot takes a dislike too. But I can end this . . . I CAN END THIS . . . but fuck, if the Democrats win I might lose my tax cuts.”

What’s missing is a chubby, shirtless, American dude speaking broken Russian.

Yeah, I’d feel a lot more sympathy for them if they abandoned Trump.
Real or not, I just love that story. It’s got just the right level of absurdity that I can actually believe it might have happened.

Are you reading from a mobile device or from a desktop?
I suppose they could have an actual Hawk Guy as a vigilante.
Have you heard of Brave Brower with adblock for mobile and desktop?

Yes, someone awesome brought it up a couple days ago.
I just dont want to deal with it because of one site that is becoming unnavigable- Boing Boing- who should more than any other understand how shitty this is, since they have railed against it plenty
Switching all bookmarks would be a pita

I use a VPN on my phone that blocks the DNS lookup of known ad providers, and it works pretty well for BB – I haven’t seen any of the intrusive ads that you describe. It would mean a subscription, but it has other benefits that might make it worthwhile for you. (Of course, the ideal solution would be for BB to police their ads).

Yup. Were he a duck:

I’d agree, I recently turned off noscript for boingboing thinking I’d need it to see something and oh wow, it sank my phone. Never letting boingboing run scripts means faster browsing and no ads. I’ve also taken to reading the site mostly through the bbs.
I guess we all could be added to the disappointed list.
