Ted Lieu has no patience for BS and he makes that abundantly clear to Marco Rubio. Rubio, on the other hand, lies with an ease and a passion that if he was Pinnocchio, his nose would have grown three feet. The topic is Donald Trump’s health and the place is Congress. The conversation is straight out of the Twilight Zone.

Trump is eighty years old in a few days. To characterize him as some twenty-something fireball of energy is simply off the walls. It defies logic and it defies the laws of physics that an obese 80-year-old man with edema issues never sleeps, even when younger and fitter colleagues are getting their much needed rest.

Why does he sleep in the Korean-style cabinet meetings? All Rubio could do was lie, lie and lie some more about how besieged poor, innocent Donald Trump, the fireball of energy, is. Hooey.
