Mocks a dying war hero and a sick former president, and belittles women all in one unhinged rally

and I was actually feeling reluctant to post about it, because people think we should act like it's no big deal.  I've seen some backlash today online from Republicans who keep trying to pretend he isn't what he is...maybe, just maybe he will keep chipping away at his base.  Maybe.

Seeing this tweet from Morning Joe got me a little riled up.

No, it's not that we should act like it is "no big deal". But the fact is you could log on every morning and post some stupid #badword# that DJT has tweeted and be right in the doing. At some point, it's just all irrelevant until he is removed from office, by whatever means. To respond to everything that comes out of his mouth is an exercise in herculean paplovian existence . . .

"If the engine whistles, let it whistle till it is hoarse for its pains. If the bell rings, why should we run? We will consider what kind of music they are like. Let us settle ourselves, and work and wedge our feet downward through the mud and slush of opinion, and prejudice, and tradition, and delusion, and appearance . . . "  Thoreau

"The authority of government, even such as I am willing to submit to — for I will cheerfully obey those who know and can do better than I, and in many things even those who neither know nor can do so well — is still an impure one: to be strictly just, it must have the sanction and consent of the governed. It can have no pure right over my person and property but what I concede to it. The progress from an absolute to a limited monarchy, from a limited monarchy to a democracy, is a progress toward a true respect for the individual. Even the Chinese philosopher was wise enough to regard the individual as the basis of the empire. Is a democracy, such as we know it, the last improvement possible in government? Is it not possible to take a step further towards recognizing and organizing the rights of man? There will never be a really free and enlightened State until the State comes to recognize the individual as a higher and independent power, from which all its own power and authority are derived, and treats him accordingly. I please myself with imagining a State at least which can afford to be just to all men, and to treat the individual with respect as a neighbor; which even would not think it inconsistent with its own repose if a few were to live aloof from it, not meddling with it, nor embraced by it, who fulfilled all the duties of neighbors and fellow-men. A State which bore this kind of fruit, and suffered it to drop off as fast as it ripened, would prepare the way for a still more perfect and glorious State, which also I have imagined, but not yet anywhere seen."
