Just going on record as representing Canada’s interests. Effing scumbags putting on meaningless virtue signals.

Fortunately it has to pass in the House too and overcome a Trump veto to become law.
It won’t.

This is something about Canada not buying Kentucky Bourbon, I guess.

As far as Murkowski and Collins, they are Democrats on many issues and not just this one.

“As much as these Assistant Democrats show their asses, the people in their states keep re-electing this slugs. WHY??”

Republican voters don’t know when to cut bait.

Short term thinking: Keep reelecting the RINO because the Democrat is always worse. This is why there are so many RINOs and so few conservatives.

Long term thinking: Purge the RINO in order to elect a more conservative Republican in the next election cycle. Culling the herd creates a healthier herd.

So what effect does it have apart from posturing by Rand Pall and Democrats?
And why would Trump pay any attention to it?

How truly awful to see Rand siding with the likes of the others. It’s disheartening and disgusting.
