    Roy Cohn taught Donald to attack and deflect. Taught him to lie and aggrandize everything. Also a self-loathing gay man who hated “fags”, yet caught AIDS and died of it.

    Oh, the irony is delicious.

    I honestly see shades of Roy Cohn in Steven Miller. The self-loathing, the insecurity and the rage. In Trump’s first run as President, he was often reported as asking “Where’s my Roy Cohn?” when things didn’t get done the way he wanted… Now, he doesnt say that anymore, aparently, since he found his replacement in Miller.

    It is breathtaking to watch this all unfold and connect the dots as it does.

      It really is. All of it. All of it can connect back to the 1800s. It can probably be traced further, but I stopped at Comstock.
