“The Georgian Dream has become a Georgian nightmare. I see on television thousands of people on the streets, protesting every day, and this highlights just how vital democracy is, something that is equally important in America.

Unfortunately, the Senate didn’t pass, and it looks like they are not going to pass the MEGOBARI Act. There were some problems over there, and it might have been related to one particular business that’s building a port.

Mr. Wilson is right: there is an overwhelming bipartisan majority of Democrats and Republicans supporting the bill, which is quite remarkable and almost unheard of.
