Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY)
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA)
Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME)
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC)

Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.), Sen. John Hoeven (R-N.D.), Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.), and Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) from my count.

Weird, right?

Perhaps a little grandstanding by our GOP senators? You know, in sum they represent such a small number of constituents compared to the remaining Senators, they have to jump up and down like clowns for some national attention. It establishes their pedigree at home as serious and important.

Further from the border people are, the more they love them some wall.

But never with Canada. Hmmm.

What if some sort of valet type person was given all their IDs to hold onto to make sure they didn't get wet, a storm comes up and washes them over to the Mexican side and they spend the rest of the movie trying to get back into the U.S.

They couldn't get 18 of them together to go inspect a hospital Covid ward, a Covid testing site, an injection clinic, a food distribution site, an unemployment line, working conditions at a meat packing plant.

In other words, important places without any "own the dems" PR value.
