make a motion to adjourn Marjorie Taylor Greene back into the general population population forever. She's the prototypical Trump republcan who stands for nothing but tearing down other's accomplishments. No ideas, just anarchy.

I think she did that motion right at the end of the 15 minute period of 1-minute speeches before they started the debate.

Yes, I know it's a salary & not per hour but do the math & get a typical "per hour" figure. Then multiply by the hours she's wasted & tell people how many taxpayer dollars she's wasted with stupid stunts.

She knows her motion wouldn't win in a month of Sundays, but she just has to make a spectacle of herself. I wonder what going through life with no sense of shame is like.
Probably gives you a lot more latitude than you think.

Wed Mar 10, 2021, 12:20 PM
Mar 2021

A proportional voting/representational system, like in Germany, is our ultimate way out of this. There's no good reason I shouldn't have some recourse if some idiot in a different part of the country has effective sway over me. The representation system we have now is undemocratic and perverse.

Psychopaths are so difficult to deal with. They are so good at analyzing a human system for every weakness that has no apparent consequence for exploit and jamming themselves thru it. For the most part, we assume other people will be reasonable & not do ridiculous things, so we don't have to have rules for every bit of minutiae. You either have a system that flushes psychopaths if they won't self behave, or you choke on dealing with all their system hacking.

"Where to, Madam Speaker?"

"Wherever the first plane out of Dulles is going to."

"But Madam Speaker, what if the first plane out of Dulles is going to Australia?"

"Then I hope like hell the Member from Georgia has her passport in her purse."
