Quote of the Day

Below, an excerpt from "So the President F*cking Hates My Girlfriend," a piece by Sue Bird, who is dating U.S. Women's National Soccer Team player Megan Rapinoe, whom the president has attacked after she said she would not be going to the White House after the World Cup:

Megan, man… I'll tell you what. You just cannot shake that girl. She's going to do her thing, at her own damn speed, to her own damn rhythm, and she's going to apologize to exactly NO ONE for it. So when all the Trump business started to go down last week, I mean — the fact that Megan just seemed completely unfazed? It's strange to say, but that was probably the only normal thing about it.

It's not an act with her. It's not a deflection. To me it's more just like: Megan is at the boss level in the video game of knowing herself. She's always been confident… but that doesn't mean she's always been immune. She's as sensitive as anyone — maybe more!! She's just figured out how to harness that sensitivity.

And I think Megan's sensitivity is what drives her to fight for others. I think it's what drove her to take a knee. The Megan you're seeing now? It's the stronger version of the one who knelt in the first place. All the threats, all the criticism, all the fallout — coming out on the other side of that is what makes her seem so unfazed by the assholes of the world now.

I think in trying to help others, Megan has cemented who she is.

Precisely the opposite of the brittle, insecure, cheating, traitorous, empathy-free charisma void that is our deplorable president.

Who should really keep Megan Rapinoe's name out of his fucking mouth.
