    GOP disapproval: When she introduced the motion, lawmakers on both sides booed Greene.

    If I remember correctly, that’s a violation of House procedure – that’s actually a big difference between the House of Representatives in the US (a lot of decorum restrictions) and the House of Commons in the UK, where this is permitted and common.

    Those rules can change, but I’d be surprised if they had.

    Hissing and jeering is not proper decorum in the House (May 21, 1998, p. 10282).

      Considering Greene herself showed a picture of Hunter Biden’s dick on the floor last year, I think they’re done with proper decorum.

        The cunt literally heckled during the SOTU while wearing Maga merch. These are not serious people but the threat they pose is very serious.

      I love seeing clips from the House of Commons. They scream/boo/jeer constantly
