Politico is reporting that former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is dead at the age of 82.
Politico – […] Reid, who was the longest-serving senator in Nevada‘s history, had been battling pancreatic cancer. His wife, Landra Reid, released a statement Tuesday night, calling her husband a “devout family man and deeply loyal friend.” They were married for 62 years. (more)
Awe.. Too bad, so sad.. may we all live in peace
82 years is a long and fruitful life
And he lived a surprising number of years after being viciously attacked by elastic exercise bands
One less pollical pest. May God pardon him for all the bad things he has done to us, We, the People.
Unless he accepted Jesus and truly accounted for his sin, he was not pardoned.
It is VERY unlikely he did. The trappings of power and wealth on earth have that effect.
Harry Reid was a devout Latter Day Saint.
As a Christian, it doesn’t feel right to celebrate the death of someone who’s just passed. And I wouldn’t wish pancreatic cancer on anyone. Their religion doesn’t matter, I pray for less suffering in this world.
That said, there may have been less suffering if nasty people like Mr. Reid had passed decades earlier.
Shouldn’t everyone celebrate death? Heaven is better than earth?
He is not in heaven.
All the more reason to celebrate!
I don’t know, PJ. I’m definitely enjoying this. In fact, having just newly discovered how to Celebrate I will probably want to Celebrate when the Devil, himself bites the dust. You know, like Ding-dong the Witch is Dead.
I don’t wish death on anyone, that’s for the Almighty; but, there are some obituaries I don’t mind seeing.
I make exceptions
we celebrate the person’s soul while they are yet alive and have the POTENTIAL to repent and accept salvation…his fate was self-determined and he is almost an afterthought now…I doubt any will have thoughts for the lost once they enter the Pearly Gates
As devout as Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden are good Catholics.
Exactly A-crafter.
Exactly!
Then he definitely wasn’t pardoned.
In reality he was not a devout Latter-day Saint……it was all an act, just like scum Romney
“devout”? How can a devout person be responsible for such dirty deeds?
I have nothing good to say about the man, other than his passing has left the world a better place.
See … without even trying, you said something good!
OldGoat36,
My grandmother would appreciate your cleverness of a “turn-of-phrase.” Great first sentence of a novel.
Sure have been a lot of interesting deaths lately. Harry Reid, Joan Didion, Desmond Tutu, Jean Marc Valle (sudden heart attack), NY Times editor (one day post booster, of a heart attack), the first transgender assignment surgery model. . .
You can add NFL legend John Madden to that list.
“Earlier today we received the sad news that the great John Madden died unexpectedly this morning. He was 85,” the NFL said on Tuesday afternoon.
Did John Madden get jabbed? Did Harry Reid get jabbed?
Wanted to post the image of “Well, Bye.” from Tobstone…
Anybody here care even a little?
Nope – not a smidgen.
I’m from Nevada… he was an embarrassment to our state IMO!
Most people with pancreatic cancer don’t live as long as him… funny, my husband and I were just commenting on this/old Harry the other day…
and they just renamed our McCarran airport after him……GGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRR
I agree….GGGGGGGRRRRR
I will always call it McCarran Airport!
Agreed…Harry was no American Patriot.
Sad.
Neither major airport on Nevada is named for the two senators that made them possible. Cannon and McCarran.
I was living in Reno when the changed Cannon to Reno-Tahoe; as I recall former Senator Cannon was still living when they renamed the airport.
Curious, was Cannon a Patriot?
Decorated WW2 vet (Army Air Corps) and centrist, old-school Democrat.
He probably bought it to be implemented and paid in full upon death and renaming event. Yah. He bought it. what else is he going to do with the millions he received for selling USA out.
He bought his legacy. He knew it wouldn’t happen otherwise. That’s what I believe.
Same with Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
I’d like to know where he’s going to be buried, so I can take a road trip and wiz on it.
You could open a pub with no bathrooms by his grave, leave the back door open?
Now there is a business plan…just change the pub name to the appropriate person!
Want me to lie to ya? It wouldn’t be a little lie….
I am greatly saddened and upset about all the grass, flowers, and bugs that will be disturbed in the digging of his grave site. But….maybe he’ll be cremated instead!
I miss John Madden
Lulu, I laughed out loud…good delivery.
Only from the feeling that justice could be happening.
Do not despair; GOD has won!
Regardless of what anyone thinks of Mitt Romney, Harry Reid was a viper. He lied without shame if it helped Dems:
He smeared Mittens by saying, from the Senate Floor, that Romney was “not paying taxes for 10 years” and then said “I don’t regret that at all,” he told CNN’s Dana Bash on Tuesday in the interview clip above. “Romney didn’t win did he?”
Citing HuffPo so that nobody can refute this as a Conservative fiction:

I assure you that Reid got Orrin Hatch to resign so Romney could have his seat.
Mike Kennedy was a great candidate too-so there was a choice -and also Mormon—but Utah voted Romney. They must not hate him that much.
Mitt Romney could join the same toilet as far as I care.
No better in my book. Glad it’s not up to me.
Mitt Romney is a well-respected member of the Church of Latter Day Saints also.
Not a well respected member but a thoroughly despised one.
So they’re two for two?
Should I be impressed?
Mormons are not Christians… how they handled Howard Hughes or should I say, neglected him to death pretty much sums up their priorities.
Very good memory Ned, not many people know about the sad Hughes history with the Mormons. I was on a HH biography kick and did a lot of reading on it.
Very true. Curious Cats — with much to be learned.
Romney is only respected by the other wealthy corrupt Latter-day Saint members and high up church leaders.
Many many rank and file members do not like Romney or Reid. Romney and Reid and others hide behind their religion that they don’t believe in or practice.
Bishops and the Quorum love Mitt then?
The world feels a little less evil for some reason.
Just wait until Soros starts pushing up daisies.
That fella looks like he shoulda started pushing up Daisy’s 20 years ago.
I hate to say but seems that sh.t bag will live to be 225 years old..
Pretty sure his 5 kids run the show now. Son #1 turned out to be a billionaire playboy. Son #2 is following in dad’s footsteps.
A lightness with every breath.
Y’all think the air conditioner works in that Motel..
Was sorta curious so I just came here to ask.🧐 Sarc 😝🤷🏼♂️
I know a place where it DOESN’T work….
Very, very, very funny…exactly.
On short notice, Jeffrey Epstein put together a welcoming committee.
“I was stunned by Epstein’s suicide, though probably not as much as Epstein himself.”
— John McAfee
He was a very dishonorable man.
I come to bury Harry Reid, not to praise him.
The evil that men do lives after them.
I think we can stop this speech right here.
So. Wasn’t such a bad day after all
He had a rough upbringing. He made a lot of money while in “government” service, like all the carreer corruptocrats. His wife loved him. The mob runs Nevada, so there’s that exercise machine problem.
I believe he had a relative who was hung for horse stealing.
I would not trust him and it’s hard to like any man proud of lying about another, as Harry Reid did for political gain.
Old-time Vegas residents told me the corrupt Gaming Commission official in the movie Casino is based on Reid.
Yep. Dick Smothers did a great job in that role.
Pelosi’s twin brother. Devoid of even the smallest scrap of humanity or trust. A reckless propagandist and an astounding liar. His trip to meet Satan lasted no more than a nano second.
As he burns in Hell, maybe we can all send him a thick heat retaining jacket. Adios Dingy Hank the Skank. Feel the burn you lousy bastard.
Well shat I thought Pelosi was his Great Grandma..😝
Birds of a feather from the same bird -Boo hoo Boehner and Dingy Harry
Former Republican House Speaker John Boehner on Tuesday recalled his “honest” friendship with Reid.
“We disagreed on many things, sometimes famously. But we were always honest with each other. In the years after we left public service, that honesty became a bond. Harry was a fighter until the end. RIP, my friend,” he said in a statement.
Boner,You will get to greet your friend in hell. I’m sure there are many many pols. there you will be able to suffer with.
When a devil worshipper finally goes to meet his idol, it always makes my day.
Honest which each other about their skulduggery ? Certainly not honest in the virtuous sense.
Perhaps honor among thieves.
He was most likely leveraged and indoctrinated into the mob during his time as gaming commissioner .
His life long position with those destroying this country is proof he has never accepted Jesus Christ plus the lying they all do when they swear their oath is enough for any of us to spit on Harry.
May he be next to John No name in the flames of Hell.
May he experience the fullness of his new home.
I just told my husband I am going to be struck down for wanting to celebrate upon hearing this news.
Still too many living evil Cretins with money working to destroy the world
🤐 ….. since I can’t say anything nice
SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS
Sorry a bad man, a very bad man.
No pc here. An EVIL man, a very EVIL man.
Good riddance to bad rubbish…..
I’ll just say nothing at all.
Hmm Hillbilly, I reckon our grandmothers are/were good acquaintances.
No doubt they were.
Mama always said, “if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.”
So I have nothing to say about Harry Reid.
Gramma’s rule.
Thumbs up Evertrumper.
My grandma said, If you can’t say something nice about someone come sit here next to me.” LOL
More gentile times.
Last one out, please flush to administer proper burial
Did his exercise equipment murder him this time?
He put 10 kids through college on a government paycheck and somehow still became a multi-millionaire.
That’s all you need to know about him.
no, there is one more thing you ought to know “about him”
his net worth is somewhere in the lower 1/4 of the average net worth for congressional members (house/senate)
LET THAT sink in.
when the radical left AND RIGHT (AND MIDDLY) corruptors “talk” about russian oligarths, ccp elite class “citizens”….it’s important to remember, they are simply projecting their own displeasure they can’t just write and sign the checks directly to themselves.
ohhh…wait…well they do that too.
so what exactly IS the reason the unipart in the US makes such a noisey repose about russian and ccp “villainous” elites?
distraction.
meanwhile..the threat FROM CCP AND RUSSIA is arguably at a record level and growing daily.
I really am not sure what I fear the most to be clear…the direct threat of the foreign powers…
or the existing threat of this administration and the uniparty that has no plans whatsoever to protect this country.
I’m thinking about digging up reid’s body and trebuchet his decomposed corpse into the capitol building….
I mean, I imagine it happening.
pin a fake 1 million dollar note to his forehead.
and written in red letters:
GUESS WHO IS NEXT?

Not an admirable person to say the least. I think
of the Catholic Rosary:
O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell;
lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who have most need of your mercy.)
As Anonymous said to the pedo Bishop in V for Vendetta when the Bishop pleaded for mercy. “Oh, Not today.”
Mark Twain once refused to attend a noted politician’s funeral.
But he wrote a very nice letter explaining that he approved of it.

I don’t understand the reflexive urge for people to feel the need to honor the lives of genuinely bad people who held enormous power in Washington, D.C.
It’s a form of virtue signaling.
“I’ve never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure.”
I was taught if I didn’t have anything good to say. then don’t say it.
I rarely say this, but good riddance you scumbag!
Indeed! I would say the same about Trudope.
OFF TOPIC, SORRY:
For those who may not be regular readers of The Last Refuge tweets, you’ve GOT to check in and check out what was written about a photo of the odious WP columnist Jennifer Rubin — a hilarious line from Silence of the Lambs. Priceless!!! LOL!!!!
LOL SD…..
Is she really saying “It rubs lotion on its skin”?
And,bringing it back on topic 😉
I see you haven’t refreshed your memory on the posting etiquette we were asked to follow.
I see these tweets shown on other sites!
I will be joining the social media world when TRUTH Social launches during the 1st Quarter of 2022!
I hope he gets the formula right! It needs to have groups, and private groups to destroy Facebook. We are all patriots, but some of us like to talk fishing, motorbikes etc. We know how we vote, but we also have lives. Trump does that, and Facebook will die within 6 months.
Children being trafficked across the border breathe a temporary sigh of relief. #DirtyHarry.
Why ask why?
From Politico article “Harry Reid, former Senate Leader, dead at 82“.
I come from a mining town,” he wrote with co-author Mark Warren in “The Good Fight: Hard Lessons from Searchlight to Washington.“ “But by the time I came along — December 2, 1939 — the leading industry of my hometown of Searchlight, Nevada, was no longer mining. It was prostitution.”
Reid’s father was a miner and his mother a laundress. Reid later wrote they had “zero” religion at home, but there was one figure his parents revered, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. In a town of “hard rocks and inhospitable soil,” their home was built from railroad slats and had no hot water or indoor plumbing. At age 58, his father killed himself.
Many recent deaths have occurred in those exceeding 3 score and 10 years.
I need to ask: have the elites already lost their population war and has God now taken a hand in who of the jabbed are selected?
I feel you, wlbeattie. I truly feel your question.
I make it a point of only speaking good of the dead.
He’s dead…good.
“Will Rogers never met Harry Reid.”
Haha, Sundance, that is epic!!
If he were a Republican, you know what they would say.
Ditto.
Whenever I hear or see Harry Reid … I think of the Nevada Senator in Godfather II … in his underwear … with a dead hooker in his sleazy motel room. Sorry. I can’t help it
Actually, he was the corrupt Gambling Commission chairman in the film Casino. They just changed the name for the film.
Will Rogers never met Harry Reid. Mr Rogers, didn’t miss much. Corrupt garbage, is the same, no matter the era.
I believe Mr. Rogers is quoted as having said, “We have the best congress that money can buy.”
THAT quote is in reference to Will Rogers saying”I have never met a man I did not like.” I am sure
Good!
I wont cry for him
He wasnt a nice person
One has to think in life how one will be remembred after death
The fame of a dead mans deeds!
Good Riddance. The world is a better place without this wretched sub human.
Harry Reid
82
Dead
That about sums up his life.
I’m assuming he’ll get a slightly subdued McCain-style send off in DC.
Here’s a tip: Any Republican legislator who entertains the visitation is uniparty. Along with the rest of them, of course.
Nuff Said.
