The following is mostly true, but look out for the obvious satire.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that the admittedly dishonest former politician is suing Ohio-based Hygenic Intangible Property Holding Co., The Hygenic Corp. and Performance Health LLC, for $50,000 claiming that their faulty product caused him to suffer "a concussion, broken orbital bones, severe disfigurement to his face, bruising and lacerations on his face, hand injuries, scarring and broken ribs."
Reid falsely claimed that he was doing physical therapy exercises with the TheraBand in his bathroom with Nancy Pelosi on New Years Day 2015. The band slipped from his slimy grasp, he fell and sustained major injuries. Two months later, because he was still contending with blindness in his right eye, he says he was forced to retire from his job in the Senate (at age 75). Truth be told, he would have retired anyway.
Reid, now 79 and suffering from pancreatic cancer, has appeared in court but it's not clear whether he will testify, but so far, only a few days into the trial, things don't seem to be going Reid's way.
According to the Associated Press, the lawyer for Hygenic 'told a civil trial jury that congressional exercise advisers tried for months to teach Reid to improve his foot stance, balance and technique while using the resistance bands at his doctors’ recommendation," and that Reid was using the band "improperly," when he tied it to his shower door and his maid's waist.
Reid claimed, at the time, that the band broke, which is what caused him to fall forward on "Dancing Hands" Pelosi, roll off her and smash his face on a hard surface. However his lawyers, in their opening statement, agreed with the defendant that Reid was holding the band in his hand when he lost his grip and lied once again, as is his wont.
“The evidence will show that he was using a band … it slipped from the hand, he spun to the right … and landed right on the eye,” his attorney said, adding that Reid's bathroom was almost entirely clad in marble and granite -- two very unforgiving surfaces--and the floor was greased at Ms. Pelosi's request.
Worse still, it seems Reid threw the band out after the incident, meaning that no one involved in the lawsuit has the exact item Reid was using, and it's not immediately clear that the product was and actual TheraBand manufactured or sold by Hygenic.

People close to Reid agree that he has a spotty relationship with the truth, and a quiet one with Pelosi.
Harry Reid has thankfully been mostly absent from politics since leaving Congress in 2015. His soft wispy voice will not be missed by most people who see him for who he is.
Just a few days ago, Reid [aka Hairy Weed] took credit for kicking off concerns about Russian election interference, claiming that he wrote a letter to the FBI in August 2016, trying to force then-FBI director James Comey to take note of Russian interference in American elections.

He also took credit for the "nuclear option" that has come back to haunt the Democrats as Trump has appointed numerous conservative judges to the courts and two Supreme Court justices, one of whom is a true conservative and the other, Brett Kavanaugh.
I hope you'll follow Brain Flushings and have a few laughs while you get a conservative viewpoint. Politics is the new NFL without the mindless kneeling and this blog will both inform you and hopefully entertain you bigly.
