I can't keep looking at him

Ever since 9/11/01, I've used a news site as the home page on my laptop, so that if there's any big breaking news, I will see it when I use my laptop, which I do numerous times per day. Since the AP refused to go along with the Gulf of Mexico name change, that has been my home page.

It's a decent, balanced news site, but it seems that over 70% of the time, their lead story has a picture of Shitler. Today, it's because of the SOTU address. I will not watch that to avoid smashing my tv, but in general, I am having problems tolerating the number of times per day I end up looking at pictures of him.

Do any of you know of good, wide ranging news sites where I won't have to look at the ugliest photos on earth regularly? Maybe a news aggregator site that just has links to headlines without the photos. Or maybe it's just time to go with a photo that I like as my home page to dial down the daily rage.

I stopped using TV more than 10 years ago, and TV news since time immemorial. (I just watched sports and old movies)

I only see that mug when it's time to fire up my computer graphics machine and assign him to the porcelain parkway.

SFW (Safe for AdamGG) pic attached. It's real, not AI.

He wants to be in our faces, dominating us every waking moment with his idiocy.

I use 2 strategies:
I added an app in 2016 that replaces pictures of him with pictures of kittens: Make America Kittens Again. It doesn't work that great, but it works on my laptop.

Every time he's above the gatefold in the NYT, I sharpie his face and hands black or red depending on which pen is closest at hand.

Now they're putting up photos of him outside the Department of Justice and other government agencies. Could any picture fit less with the DOJ than his? It's like Orwell on steroids.

Similarly. I usually stop watching videos that rely heavily on his incoherent babbling.

but I don't know if that is true or if my tolerance level is decreasing. Everything about him drives me nuts. This is a truly awful human being and the rancid insides keep coming to the surface.
