Pictures of DRUMPF. Why?!1 On every website, every post, every-unnecessary-where.

Right now, there are six - *SIX* (6) - pics of his danged face on the home page of Politico. This is on just about the same on every other website, including posts here.

It long ago became disgusting to see his face, and the thought that it will be in every Federal government office is repellent. Not to mention that his face adds nothing to whatever the story in almost any item it accompanies.

Obviously, I have no authority over what anybody else posts, setting aside how sometimes other posters deign to lecture some of us on what we post. Am just venting about wishing not to see that face or wishing to bring the volume down to the most possible minimum.

Look at politics sites and you're going to see one of the most important figures in current US politics. (Covering politics in depth without reference to the incoming president is rather like trying to discuss the map of Asia without bothering to show Russia. So to speak.)

Want non-Trump sites?

For perspective in how truly yuge the current crisis is, http://www.forbes.com/sites/startswithabang/2016/12/26/hubbles-shining-view-of-deep-space-beyond-the-stars/#5695fb7f4fe6
