17. Granted that I don't have all the charges & trial evidence, but that qualifies as "a bit" no?

Yes, he wasn't found Guilty; isn't re-trial coming? Something about hundreds of thousands in gifts from a friend. Still in the "a bit" territory despite presumption of innocence. I don't doubt that he's "very kind and caring" and I have been thrilled every time I've heard him speaking and forcefully so in his Democratic role, especially his contrast with RUBIO and Carnival CRUZ and the others of Cuban derivation as despicable wingnuts. I'm thrilled that the generations after the First Exiles are generally Democratic.

I'll never learn not to post in shorthand since it takes a ton more words to supply my context. Besides that the longer my context the more room I leave for more disputation and refutations. Oh, well.
