My late brother, I and my cousin are all sailors, savoring the feeling of holding the wind in one hand, and the water in the other. There are few things like it.

Oh fuck Cohen , I don't believe for one second he cares about immigrant children, this is to try and salvage a tiny percent of his public image that's it.

He finally has realized trump doens't give a shit about him personally and if flipping, so why not bash the child torture too? What can it hurt?

Great story--thanks. I found this excerpt particularly interesting:

...adviser Stephen Miller has all but become the face of the issue, a development that even supporters of Trump’s “zero-tolerance” position say is damaging the White House. “Stephen actually enjoys seeing those pictures at the border,” an outside White House adviser said. “He’s a twisted guy, the way he was raised and picked on. There’s always been a way he’s gone about this. He’s Waffen-SS.”
