I was reminded of this while reading Yellowhammer News at https://yellowhammernews.com/7-things-omicron-continues-to-surge-alabama-prisons-must-get-it-together-by-mid-2025-mike-durant-may-have-to-fire-employees-over-vaccine-mandate-and-more/. Basically, Dingy Dirty Harry made it easier for Trump's SCOTUS nominees to get appointed.

He’s also being lauded in certain circles for his interest in UFOs . . . or whatever they’re being called these days.

As far as I'm concerned, Dingy Harry's greatest accomplishment is working with the NRA to open up a shooting range in Clark county, Nevada.

Prevented nuclear waste from being safely stored at Yucca Mountain which hinders greenhouse friendly nuke plants from being more numerous.

After Obama’s re-election he was asked about his false claim that Romney evaded taxes: “It worked, didn’t it?”
A man of wicked heart. We’re better off with him dead.

Reid was like all democrats after obama won...they thought they were gonna be in the majority forever...that led to one of the biggest mid term wipe outs in history...and to the Supreme Court you see today...wtg harry, you were quite “strategist”..

The real story was that he got tuned up by a notorious Las Vegas mob figure named Carmine “The Exercise Machine” Antonelli. :-P

All I remember about Reid was his statement that Federal income taxes are voluntary. The thing I really want to know is how he went from lowly means to a multi-millionaire while he was in office...same question for Biden.
