Harry Reid, former Senate majority leader and Democratic kingmaker, dies at 82
Harry Reid, who rose from abject poverty in rural Nevada to become one of the most influential state and national leaders, died on Tuesday, sources confirmed to The Nevada Independent. He was 82.
Additional details were not immediately available.
Reid was thought to be ending the near of his life when he underwent surgery in 2018 for pancreatic cancer, which has one of the lowest survival rates. Last summer, however, Reid announced that he underwent an experimental surgery and was declared in “complete remission” and cancer-free.
Over more than three decades of service in Congress, Reid earned a reputation for fighting relentlessly to protect his home state and everyday Americans. As Senate Democratic leader for a dozen years, he played an instrumental role in passing the Affordable Care Act and shepherding through Congress pivotal economic recovery legislation in the wake of the Great Recession.
I was glad when this loser fell and broke his bones on a treadmill. Lead to his retirement.
True
Leahy having a chest grabber would ring in a hap hap happy new year, considering Vermont has a republican governor
Great photo of Harry… shows his true nature.
I’m guessing it will be an entertainer (theatre, music) since there are so many. Jimmy Carter could be another possibility.
Let’s hope that "steak" was broiled until it was completely charcoalized far beyond well-done. Harder than a Birkenstock and made mostly of inedible gristle.

Scratch that then
I guess I could safely assume that Charlie Baker would do the same if Lizzy choked on crab shell in her pow wow chow
One legacy, he nuked the filibuster on federal judges so Republicans could later benefit.
Possibly. The MA leg might move swiftly to remove the power to appoint as they did before (briefly). If by chance Baker did appoint a vacancy for Fauxcahontas or 200-year old Ed Markey, I imagine the “Republican” would make Liz Cheney look like President Trump.
John Madden is going right through the uprights on his way to heaven.
Harry Reid - doink
ROTFLMAO ! .....perfect !
I always bring this up. Also magic Johnson. While everyone dropping like flies over AIDS. He is still alive.
+ Curious isn’t it...
Surgery that would not be available to common folks if Reid could have forced single-payer upon our nation.
I will never forgive Reid for lying on the Senate floor about Mitt Romney's taxes during the 2012 election.
Good riddance you piece of crap, burn in hell.
Please, Willard was probably in on it. He wasn’t there to win the election, but to stop anyone who could against Zero.
Exactly.
Interviewer: "Mr. Reid, do you regret lying about Mr. Romney not paying taxes?"
Harry Reid: "Well it worked, didn't it."
