Conservative Republican calls for motion to adjourn in order to push back timing of Covid-19 bill vo

[orangecrush]

Source: CNN

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican from Georgia, has called for a motion to adjourn already, a move she has repeatedly used to mess with the floor schedule.

This means that the expected noon ET vote on the Covid-19 relief bill will be pushed back by at least 45 minutes.

We expect voting to begin on the $1.9 trillion dollar package around 12:30 p.m. ET to 1 p.m. ET.

Greene's decision to again slow down the floor schedule comes as House Republicans remain engaged in an internal struggle over how to assert their power with their robust minority, with a small contingent of conservative hardliners — like Greene— taking extreme measures to disrupt routine business of the chamber, irritating many of their GOP colleagues who are eager to wage a more focused battle over President Biden's agenda.

Be nice if the FBI would move a little faster on her involvement in the insurrection before she can do more damage.

[Walleye]

1. We need to do ads featuring all of her motions to adjourn over and over

[orangecrush]

3. I'd like to see a judge adjourn a court

After sentencing her to 20 years.

[blm]

4. Maybe she had a hot date with Louis Gohmert.

[orangecrush]

5. ...

[Walleye]

6. 👊😹

[Comfortably_Numb]

14. Maybe she's going to have to push back her rendezvous at the gym

[11 Bravo]

38. If they procreate, we might get a slightly dumber strain of house plants.

[blm]

41. Lololol

[sarchasm]

47. even house plants are offended at this characterization...

[DanieRains]

52. Can IQ Go Negative?

I don't want to find out.

[Escurumbele]

24. Be a little fair with her please, she needs the time for someone to explain to her what is going on

she doesn't understand all the political talk and negotiations and thus she must have the time to find someone to explain it to her.

[Walleye]

25. 😆

[PatSeg]

53. I think she went to DC knowing absolutely NOTHING

about how congress works, but someone taught her how to call for a motion to adjourn. Just like a kid who learned something new, something that is an attention-getter, she does it over and over again. "Oh look, I'm in the news again! Yay me!"

[DownriverDem]

43. Her plan

will be to gum up the works for the next 2 years. She wasn't around when the repubs ran it all and stuck it to the Dems/Country.

[blm]

2. NOT a conservative. She's a rabid reactionary.

The REAL conservatives have been pushed out of the GOP over the years as the rabid reactionaries gained control.

[karynnj]

8. Great point -- and important

Labelling the fringe "conservative" actually makes them sound more acceptable. I disagreed with conservatives, but they had a set of principles that they believed in and their votes matched those beliefs. MTG and others like her are NOT the same.

[blm]

9. Exactly. I never call them conservative because it upgrades

them and their insane, fascist power grabs.

[d_r]

15. She's just an idiot

[elleng]

48. THANK YOU!

Been my thinking for the past #### years.

[abqtommy]

7. It'd also be nice if immediate action was taken to expel all the insurrectionists in

The House and Senate. snark on: But then I'm still waiting for my flying pony. snark off

[Tommymac]

10. Who is coaching her to do this crap?

No way she has the knowledge of the arcane rules of the House to pull this stuff off on her own.

Or the intelligence for that matter.

[Zoonart]

11. One trick pony.

This is all she's got. Meanness and disruption.

[Traildogbob]

19. People say.........

She turned a lot of tricks at the fitness club.

[IronLionZion]

17. RW PACs and think tanks

Most RW congresspeople are in the pocket of these groups, even accepting bills from them and simply putting their name on it.

MTG does not have the experience or knowledge to do this on her own.

[bottomofthehill]

27. It does not take a rocket scientist to move the House Adjourn once a day

You could teach a parrot to do it for the price of a few crackers.

[FlyingPiggy]

62. It may not take rocket science to understand or implement it but you need awareness of it first and

She doesn't strike me as someone with much awareness about anything. She's funded and coached by something much bigger than her sorry ass.

[Historic NY]

32. GYM Jordan

[Tommymac]

35. Sewer Rats, all of them. nt

[Jon King]

12. If the meanest person you went to high school with got elected...

that is basically what this women is....the very meanest kid we were all stuck with in high school, now in Congress.

[jayschool2013]

57. I know, right?

[bucolic_frolic]

13. Disrupting schedules is for people who don't understand ideology or policy

[mopinko]

16. showboat.

there to get famous.
and rich.

[Texin]

18. Yeah, well. I'd like to *adjourn* Marjorie Taylor Greene.

[3auld6phart]

30. Weird and sad

“ Empty”Greene. Still hard to beat Louie Goober of
Texas for stupidity. Stupid can be dangerous.

[Texin]

46. I agree with you on Goober. Boggles the mind he has any constituents at all.

[meow2u3]

20. I wish the press would quit calling authoritarian reactionaries conservatives

The far right House Fascism Caucus is anything but conservative. They call for war against Democrats in search of reactionary, dictatorial power.

[blm]

31. ✔️✔️✔️

[ZonkerHarris]

42. this

[George II]

21. This is the 4th time she's pulled that in a week. Even her own party people are angry...

40 republicans voted against it.

It's a stupid waste of time.

[rustbeltvoice]

26. then c.160 voted with her?

the vast majority of her party then supports her

[George II]

28. For the first three motions (actually over 3 weeks, not the last week) the votes were 0, 2, and 18..

Today it was 40. They're obviously losing patience with her stupidity.

[magicarpet]

22. Careful,... she has gunz,... she might well shoot up the place if she gets rejected.

[jmowreader]

23. Give it a month...

...and we could probably get sufficient Republican support on a motion to expel her from the House.

[Marcuse]

29. "BEEEEP!"

[rlegro]

33. Another nutball Republican trying to prove that government just doesn't work

[ProudMNDemocrat]

34. How long will Kevin McCarthy put up with her shit?

Before he decides too put a muzzle on MTG?

Because she has been stripped of her committee assignments, she is exacting revenge in the only way she can. This shit will get old fast until either Speaker Pelosi will need to talk with McCarthy and soon.

[Tommymac]

36. Until 2022.

This is what they want.

[no_hypocrisy]

37. Can she make this motion indefinitely?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

39. 40 Republicans vote against Greene motion

Forty House Republicans on Wednesday voted against Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's latest motion to adjourn, yet another sign her party is growing increasingly frustrated with the Georgia Republican's procedural delay tactics.

That figure was more than double the 18 Republicans who voted against her motion last week to end House business for the day.

Some of those Republicans who have bucked Greene and GOP leaders have correctly predicted that the number of "no" votes will only grow as Greene continues to force more of these votes.

They've complained that these unexpected votes, which do not appear on the House schedule, have disrupted constituent meetings and congressional hearings, and have no purpose other than gumming up the floor.

[Harker]

50. She's been calling attention on social media to republican'ts

who go against her childishness.

As feebleminded and slavish as many of them are, I'm sure there's growing resentment toward her.

[Toorich]

40. The Speaker should say...

... MOTION SUSTAINED !!!! We will adjourn when our business is concluded or 5 PM,
whichever comes sooner.

[Bayard]

44. She needs to get in some target practice

[Warpy]

45. Looks like that little twit has one tool in her toolbox

and I know even fellow Republicans are getting sick of having her use it every single day as a delaying tactic.

If nothing else will, that kind of bullshit will finally get the traitor expelled.

[murielm99]

49. I think she is doing someone else's dirty work.

She has nothing much to lose.

[Oldem]

51. I think part, or maybe all, of this is vengeance and petulance. She's not just

there to break government and then crow that it doesn't work. She's pissed for bring thrown off her committees.

[Jetheels]

54. I read that there's something of bigger concern to republicans right now....

They concerned more about Britney Spears conservatorship.

[catbyte]

55. She's such an asshole.

[barbtries]

56. i don't think "conservative" is the correct word

for this person. Republican hate monger and attention whore maybe. But what I think is most accurate would be "Trump Republican."
I'm old now, but I used to think conservative was not synonymous with unwilling to govern in a democracy.

[IzzaNuDay]

58. Makes one wonder if 45 is putting her up to this!

I would not put it past 45 mentoring MTG to be disruptive and immature.
What she does not realize -- 2022 is coming up fast and people are recording her tweets and every move.
I am waiting for the moment when she mentions 45 in conversation. Trust me, she will slip up and say it!

[orangecrush]

63. +1

[kimbutgar]

59. Maybe she needs to tell congress not to give relief money to her district as a show of her

Opposition!

I think all republicans who voted against it need to take a principled stand and refuse the funds for their districts!

[orangecrush]

60. Agree 100%

[durablend]

61. They need a unified message for their constituents

"Send back those stimulus checks!!!!! Don't stand for socialism!!!!!!"

Wouldn't hold my breath for any to be returned....
