Someone tried to assassinate Trump yesterday

Sunday 5: Brush your teeth with Lifebuoy soap and watch the suds go by
Happy, uh, Sunday! Which is also Social Media Day, and National Meteor Watch Day. It’s also two days post the regular Friday 5, but I have a great excuse. Friday night I had dinner in Philadelphia with two very lovely…
Friday 5: Achtung, baby!
