Also… it’s another one where I can’t tell if the picture has been shooped… excellent job @beschizza. I think between the nearly 2 years of lock down and your shooping abilities, I’ve finally given up all sense of reality.

I don’t know much about the corruption claims against Reid but Judicial Watch is essentially a right-wing smear factory that has pushed all kinds of debunked accusations against Democrats, including the baseless conspiracy theories that Vince Foster and Seth Rich were murdered by the Clintons. They’ve collaborated with the likes of Steve Bannon and Brietbart. Really just a garbage source all around.

Whether Reid was an honest politician or not it seems funny to me that choosing not to run for yet another term in the US Senate at age 76 would be characterized as an “abrupt retirement.”
In my view an example of an “abrupt retirement” would be former Speaker of the House Paul Ryan skipping out when was still a couple years short of his 50th birthday, or Sarah Palin suddenly quitting halfway through her first term as Governor of Alaska. Retiring from the US Senate at age 76 after a recent bout of health problems seems like pretty normal and perfectly reasonable human behavior to me.
