AS THE POLITICAL WORLD BURNS…

Not much makes sense in the world of politics these days, but one thing that is extremely puzzling is the filibuster rule. For those not familiar with what a filibuster is, it comes from the word “filibustero”, which has Dutch and Spanish origins meaning “robber” or “pirate”. I can’t think of a better word to describe members of the US Congress. Stealing money from the people to accomplish little except investigations of each other.
