This “suckers” and “losers” story isn’t going away anytime soon. And it shouldn’t.

Happy Labor Day! I hope you’re having a nice day off — whatever that looks like or means now.

Here’s a baby deer who has been spoiled by her rescuers:

Political Crap

The “suckers and losers” story continues to give the White House headaches, especially after Fox News, of all outlets, confirmed it through their own sources.

So, obviously, President Traitor is calling for Jennifer Griffin to be fired. Obviously.

Jennifer Griffin defended herself on Neil Cavuto’s show and noted that her sources are not “anonymous to the President.” LOOKING AT YOU, JOHN KELLY AND JIM MATTIS. Now, how about you guys step up and serve your country by confirming everything, my dudes?

President Coward also attacked The Atlantic, where the story first ran, and called for his followers to harass the widow of Steve Jobs who owns the magazine.

Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic defended their reporting, and it should be noted that in addition to Fox News, the A.P., and The Washington Post also confirmed the reporting.

To make matters worse, the same day The Atlantic story broke, news came that the White House was shutting down the long-running military newspaper Stars and Stripes, underscoring their disdain for the military. I left it off of my post on Friday because I was 1. STILL SO ANGRY and 2. Because I thought this decision was would be reversed to save face. And Just as I suspected, in the wake of “suckers and losers,” President Panic tweeted out that funding to the newspaper would not be cut under his watch. LOL, OK, LOSER.

And keep your eye on Defense Secretary Mark Esper. News is burbling that he might be the next to be thrown under the Trump bus.

Meanwhile, in a desperate attempt to stir up the culture war and distract everyone from “suckers and losers,” President Race Riot has made a bunch of bullshit moves, including banning all federal agencies from having diversity and racial sensitivity training — tweet-screaming that it is “anti-American” — and threatening to cut off federal funds to California if their schools teach the 1619 Project. He’s just trying to get people riled up so that they start screaming at each other instead of focusing on how appalling it is that the President of the United States openly hates our military men and women.

Not that he’s not profoundly racist! He’s definitely very racist! In his new book, Michael Cohen revealed that President White Nationalist hired a President Obama impersonator so that he could make a video in which he belittled and then fired him.

Also, Cohen confirmed what we already know: President Burning Cross disdains all Black people:

In the book, Cohen paints Trump’s “hatred and contempt” of Barack Obama as a full-fledged obsession, beginning long before his own 2016 presidential bid, according to CNN. Noting Trump’s “low opinion of all Black folks,” Cohen recalls him ranting after Obama’s victory in 2008: “Tell me one country run by a black person that isn’t a s—hole. They are all complete f—ing toilets.” When South African President Nelson Mandela died in 2013, Trump allegedly said, “Mandela f—ed the whole country up. Now it’s a s—hole. F— Mandela. He was no leader.” (CNN also notes Trump belittled and “fired” an actor playing Obama in a video, which was apparently supposed to air during the 2012 Republican National Convention.)

According to Cohen, per the Washington Post, Trump claimed Obama only got into Columbia University and Harvard Law School because of “f—ing affirmative action.” Cohen said that Trump—who, of course, helped fuel the racist birther crusade against Obama—privately described his predecessor as a “Manchurian candidate.” Also, during the 2016 campaign, Trump allegedly told Cohen, “I will never get the Hispanic vote. Like the Blacks, they’re too stupid to vote for Trump. They’re not my people.”

It’s no wonder Mr. Rogers’ widow thinks he’s a “horrible person.” Because he is. Thank you, Mrs. Rogers.

Oh, and finally, a bunch of MAGAlings tried to have a boat parade for President Dear Leader on Lake Travis outside of Austin this weekend. The boats eschewed basic boating safety, and the larger boats went too fast and too close to other boats, creating massive waves that sank a bunch of the smaller boats.
