TSF is the protege of the original SF, Roy Cohn.
And Cohn got away with a lot of sh*t.
But he was ultimately held accountable and died in disgrace. And so will Trump.

This quote from Roger Stone (as relayed by Jeffrey Tubin in his New Yorker article on Cohn):

(19,204 posts)never visited Cohn when he was dying, or even acknowledged Cohn after his death.
That's the type of "friend" Donald Trump is. 😒

(34,112 posts)I went through the last 5 months of my brothers life rarely leaving his side. It was a horrific thing to witness, even being a critical care nurse did not prepare me for this with my brother. Every time I see someone wish someone else this ending I shudder and it all comes back, 22 years later.

(102,304 posts)but my sister and I had a couple of older friends/work colleagues who died miserable deaths from AIDs. I am glad far fewer will die without the benefit of effective intervention today but it still brings back the cruelty of so many who did. And especially so for those like you who loved and cared for them.
for you and for your late brother.

(34,112 posts)It has been a long time. It is a different sort of thing as I watched my father die of cancer and then my mother, all so long ago.
My brother was the kindest, most talented working musician in and around Houston then he was raped. He was gay but the rape was the end of his life. Thank you for your kind response. I will never quit crying over it but kindness makes me feel a bit better because I had to stay with him to be certain that he was not being ill treated. I could not even imagine how health care workers, being one myself, could be that cruel. Thank you.

(43,185 posts)The play and TV Series by Tony Kushner has a dying Roy Cohn being tormented by the vision of Ethel Rosenberg, who he had helped convict and execute.
In the series, Rosenberg is played magnificently by Meryl Streep.
It's all fiction and wish fulfillment, but I still like to pretend that it actually happened.
