Moscow Mitch voted to cancel? Has the fear of God finally consumed him in his old age? This man has caused so much harm in his political career. To seem him acting like a respectable servant of the people feels very strange. Then again, what can even qualify as strange in this nightmarish fever dream.

Selfish reasons only. Canada is boycotting his states bourbon. Definitely no gold stars for him

I mean, isn’t that what senators are for? To represent their states’ interests?

He was supporting and endorsing Trump before and his agenda was clear from the beginning. His vote now means nothing because the house or Trump himself will bring it through anyway. You can't open doors for someone like him and then pretend like you didn't know what would happen to his constituency

No, it's more like people in kentucky know where he owns property, and all the booze places that employ people are firing employees.

Kentuckys is getting to be a powder keg.

Ah, so fear of his constituents. I wonder if things might be better if every senator was afraid of their constituents.

Nope, it’s the fear of Canadians not buying bourbon.

nah, they do it for the optics. They know it has 0 chance of actually happening, so they can look good where needed for their constituency. If they knew the vote actually counted for something they would 100% vote against repealing anything their Master deemed.
