This was not a good day for Donald Trump.

The FBI Director said there was nothing factual to his "tweets". In other words, Trump lied.

To make matters even worse, FBI Director Comey said that there was another investigation going on, in regards to Trump associates possibly connected to Russia involvement in our election.

Also, when Peter King asked him if he could confirm that there was no collusion from the Trump campaign, Comey said that was something he could not discuss.

Not a good day for the Liar-in-Chief.

I keep waiting to hear that he has popped a valve, during a temper tirade. Or broken a finger during a particularly frenzied twitter typing.

13. How do the good people of Kentucky feel about their ACA taken away?

Kentucky was a surprise model state for the ACA; unlike other states and the Federal rollout, Kentucky was successful, as I remember, from the beginning. They also opted for Medicaid expansion. As a native son, what do you think?

15. I think it is one of the most cruel acts I have seen in my life.

They were targeted with more "fake news" than anywhere in the country, in my opinion. They thought Hillary was the devil. They believed what they were told.

Trump's plan will not only remove hundreds of thousands now on Medicaid but also will do away with the Black Lung benefits many ex-miners received for their disease. It will be devastating.

On top of that, they are talking about drug testing for food stamps. The drug epidemic is very bad in Appalachia and people are dying every day. Now they will have no food.

Not good for the people in the mountains.

I tend to believe the latter.

A SANE person would read the writing on the wall and apologize for his statements about Obama, or at least let the subject drop! But no, dumb Donny just keeps on plowing ahead, getting deeper and deeper.

by the Director of the NSA. That was priceless, even without everything else! I am so enjoying the clips I'm seeing. First news I've watched without revulsion in months.
