So I read yesterday.=20

And shot at by the Secret Service too.=20

There were two basic types of articles I noticed:
-- those emphasizing his record as a Republican (indeed, a Trump)
voter
-- those claiming he made an unusual number of donations to Democrats
but I didn't bother reading them because the bias was pretty clear.

I mean, at this point, the people writing them are at best
cherry-picking what they can find out -- if they aren't making it up
out of whole cloth.

Less obviously biased articles suggested that he is a bit off in the
head and known to authorities. And that he was arrested for a gun
crime: apparently, he has a criminal record that makes having a weapon
illegal.

But who can say what I might "learn" today?
