President Biden on Wednesday ordered flags outside government buildings be flown at half-staff to honor the late Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.), who died on Tuesday at the age of 82.

I’m against honoring politicians like this, whether it’s Harry Reid or Bob Dole.

A whore house lawyer from Searchlight Nevada, and that was the most honorable thing he ever did with his career.

I’m going to pretend every half staff flag I see is for John Madden.

Exactly.

Honor and dignity is the exact opposite of the Clintoons, Bushies and the Zerobamas. Include the Pence’s in there, too.

Everyone mentioned above wouldn’t know honor and dignity if it slapped them in the face.

The flag is almost constantly at half-staff.

Yes! He's far more deserving of that honor than any politician.

Especially Reid.

Couldn't agree more. I almost said "here we go again, lower the flag" when Reid's death was announced but decided it would sound snitty.

When did civil "servants" graduate to canonization?

The life we should be celebrating is Dingy Harry's brother, Larry. At least he tried to beat some sense into the moron.

“”Reid’s internment.””

So they’re not going to bury him? Confining him is just what he deserved!!

After Hairy’s ChiCom land grab and cattle rustling attempt he should be buried in Peking.
