You know how it is when a small child is bored and they discover something that annoys people and repeatedly do it just to get attention? That seems to be what is happening with Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-QAnon). After being stripped of all her committee assignments for being an unreconstructed conspiracist, she has decided to use one of the procedural rules to slow down the work of Congress. Her choice of tactic is to put forward a motion to adjourn, something that has to be dealt with before business can continue and can take up to half an hour. She has started using it so often that even some of her Republican colleagues are getting fed up at the waste of time with nothing to gain, and more and more of them are voting against her motion. Her latest effort was opposed by forty Republicans, double the week before. Basically, Greene is generating bipartisanship!


“I’m tired of all the games and I just want to move along with the business of the government,” Rep. Tom Rice (R-S.C.) told Axios.

“Dilatory tactics work like salt, lightly sprinkled brings flavor, too much will ruin the meal,” said Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-Wash.)

“The GOP leadership has a strategy to retake the House in 2022 and the frequent calls for adjournment are not the plan,” Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) said in a statement.

Next we can expect to hear that during a debate on some legislation, Greene blocked her ears and yelled “La, La, La, La, I can’t hear you!”
