Casual cruelty is the new norm

At a rally attended by 6500 cheering morons, Cheeto Jesus casually mocked George H.W. Bush and his "Thousand Points of Light" and went after John McCain for his vote against Obamacare repeal even as the Arizona senator fights for his life.  As Joe Scarborough pointed out, it is as much on the cheering throng as it is on the president*.  If those cheers had turned to boos, perhaps tRump might have started thinking about the road he is forcing the country to travel.  While civility is perhaps overrated, mocking those who gave most of their lives in service to America is just one in a series of new lows in our social discourse brought to us by the mountebank who managed election due to a series of fortuitous coincidences and the intervention of the FBI and Russia on his side.  We are stuck with this suppurating boil for at least 2 more years.  Let's call his boorish behavior out at every opportunity and hold him accountable for lowering the level of our polity.
