BREAKING!
I don’t usually post Breaking Diaries, nor are they as short as this one. But I couldn’t let this despicable act go unnoticed.
So Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene (of insurrection fame) has just put forth a Motion To Adjourn on the House Floor, in an effort to stop work on an LGBTQ rights bill that she contends is reverse-discriminatory. They are voting on it right now (C-Span). So far 191 Republicans are backing the Insurrectionist. Don’t worry, it will fail. But it does waste precious House Floor time.
Just note that a Motion to Adjourn is a privileged motion that can be made by any Representative at any time, and requires a floor vote. Nancy must be fuming. What an As-Hat thing to pull. The real question is how many more of these stunts will she pull?
And the final vote is 199 Yes (to adjourn) and 219 No, with only 2 Republicans voting “no”. So 199 Republicans supported Taylor-Greene to adjourn the House and go home. Go home without not only taking action on the LGBTQ Bill, but also on the COVID Relief Bill tomorrow. Despicable!
Because of the way Representatives have to vote during COVID, this MTG stunt took up almost 2 hours of valuable floor time. As a result, Steney Hoyer took to the floor to announce that from now on the Speaker will keep all floor votes to a strict 45 minute limit. No more lolly-gaging.

WOW! I posted this real quick this morning and went about my day thinking it would totally unnoticed. I can never figure out why posts I spend hours and days researching and writing often die a quick death, while others which take me less than 5 minutes get over 400 recs. CRAZY! But thanks for reading.
