Wait, what? Must be some sort of ploy on the dems part. They are a sneaky bunch. Or that treadmill "accident" did more damage than we were told. Time for the kindly old gentleman to head for the retirement home down in Searchlight. Adios hairy. You will NOT be missed. Of course he'll still have his hands in the pie pulling kat mantos strings.

How about ruling by EOs?

Ignoring laws you don’t like?

Making up laws you wished you had?

Making international “agreements” and bypassing the Senate?

Using the IRS and EPA to go after your political enemies?

[Scrambler Bob]

Is this the “Fake News” I have been hearing about?

[BRL]

Wow, first classy thing Reid ever said.

[knarf]

Reid has had his ass literally kicked and has no more fight in him ... he’s out and gone and knows it.

[eyeamok]

Sounds like he had a nice chat with Mr Trump, don’t EVER forget that Donald J Trump has been BUYING AND SELLING Scumbag Politicians like Harry Reid his entire LIFE!! I guarantee you he has more dirt on more politicos than anyone could possibly imagine.

Hahahahahaahahaha Dingy Harry

Must be some sort of ploy on the dems part.

Yep, they don't want the nuclear option for SCOTUS picks so they can be magnanimous for cabinet and other picks. They are saying we are playing by the existing rules, just don't change them for SCOTUS.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Harry is on defense.
He realizes he will have a huge target on his
back once the Left sees Trump using his rules to
begin slamming nominees through the system.

[V_TWIN]

“One thing we fought for that’s worth defending is a fairer, more open and more productive Senate,”

look out for that lightning bolt there dingy.

[Responsibility2nd]

I guess his brother punching him out might have knocked some sense into ol’ Dingy Harry.

[HiTech RedNeck]

He thinks the Rats will be back soon?

[knarf]

Why is SCOTUS not part of the option ?

[HiTech RedNeck]

The sight of Rats blaming each other will be quite amusing.

[jcon40]

I hope there’s no change in the IRS political targeting of those not in power then too.

The public has a right to know your story of riches Harry.

[MNJohnnie]

1st time Harry Reid was right on something. It is a Christmas Miracle!

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

What else can he say?

[kabar]

Because that is how the Dems structured their nuclear option change, which the Reps have kept in force.

On November 2013, Senate Democrats used the nuclear option to eliminate filibusters on executive branch nominations and federal judicial appointments other than those to the Supreme Court. ... A three-fifths vote is still required to end debates on legislation and Supreme Court nominations.

[Deo volente]

Yep, they don't want the nuclear option for SCOTUS picks so they can be magnanimous for cabinet and other picks. They are saying we are playing by the existing rules, just don't change them for SCOTUS.

That makes the most sense here. You know the Democrats will be Borking his pro-life nominees for SCOTUS because they won't support the slaughter of unborn children in the womb. It's always about abortion with these people.

[Maudeen]

Harry makes me feel tired just looking at his picture.
