“As a U.S. territory, Puerto Rico is neither a state nor an independent country—and politics over its status remain complicated.” So complicated that the History website printed this title with an explanation about 3 pages shorter than Tolstoy’s “War and Peace.” I zoned out on the third paragraph which is a true accomplishment as I usually only make the first half of a sentence when trying to push through a virulent rant by a frightened moron on facebook, about why a professional athlete, exercising his constitutional right to free speech, is the devil incarnate because he takes a knee.
So let’s go with Puerto Rico is not a state because our congress, a body so focused on self-promotion they can’t even develop a plan to fix our crumbling infrastructure, would have to spend time actually doing their job rather than pursuing their favorite activities; name-calling, finger-pointing, whining and telling lies.
Those that can’t do, govern.
Those that can’t govern serve in the U.S. Congress.
