      This is a special brotherhood going on here. PBO has been very emotion today and a few weeks ago when announcing AG Holder’s departure. They are contemporaries - two brilliant AA lawyers who are fighting for civil rights and dignity for all. It was a privilege to watch today’s ceremony. I doubt we will ever see such a thing at this level again. XOXOXOXO

        “A special brotherhood” - That is the term. The send off today was emotional and a joy to witness. The respect, love, admiration, friendship, and loyalty President Obama and Attorney General Holder have for each other is an honor to have witnessed these past years. They are both great men indeed.

        I wish him well in everything he does going forward.

    Just brilliant Nerdy, thank you for this wonderful round-up.

    Got some gutwrenching news today, a work colleague died suddenly last night after playing a game of soccer - he was just 36, a father of three, the eldest seven, the youngest born only last week. Seven days old when his Dad died. I can’t even begin to imagine the pain his wife is enduring.

    He was the sweetest, kindest, most generous fella you’d ever meet, with a heart of gold. And he made me roar with laughter, he was a rascal with a big cheeky grin. And more than anything in the world, he loved being a Dad.

    I can’t begin to comprehend the cruelty of him being taken away from his kids and his wife who he adored. I just can’t.

    Years ago, my best mate in school was murdered, he was gay so he got little sympathy from the judge even in death, his killer only got three years and was out in less than two to resume his life.

    I never thought I’d attend a more heartbreaking funeral, but next Tuesday will feel as unjust and cruel.

    Please think of his wife and children tonight, I won’t ask any one to pray because right now any smidgeon of faith I ever had is drained.

    Night everyone.

You know I’m part Irish, maybe I expect stuff like this to happen because of it,, and I always picture these dear people in heaven eating ice cream, waiting for the rest of us to get to the party. Helps me miss them less. But that doesn’t mean I don’t recognize your pain. So sorry, my dear one.

May God bless his wife and kids and I hope he is in a much better place.

    Republicans took the Senate and increased their majority in the House. They got rid of the reviled Harry Reid and handed Mitch McConnell the gavel. They told us the gridlock was over, now they’d get things done. You remember this, right?

    But, as always, conservatives can’t even agree on the things they agree on.

    They can’t even achieve compromise within their own caucus when the security of the nation, supposedly their top priority, is on the the line.

    Now, ask yourself something, if Republicans can’t even agree among themselves on something they already agree on, how then is their inability to compromise with the executive Obama’s fault?

    The simple truth of the matter is that these intractable sons of bitches can’t govern themselves, let alone the rest of the country. It’s no wonder whatsoever why they can’t sway Democrats to their side in enough numbers to override a veto or to unite the nation, they can’t even convince themselves.
