A Snapshot of the Week Ended January 8, 2021:
The Wednesday turmoil in Washington distracted attention from the economy, will be remembered as a shameful day and may have gravely injured the prestige American democracy. Yet, it thankfully showed that the political system can reject radical menaces, reactionary threats, insurrections including attempted “coup d’état” directed at upending legitimacy. The Republic proved that it has strong pillars of democracy, capable of applying the rule of law to all citizens. Washington still sits on a hill. The White House is not a House of Cards. The U.S. is not a failed state. In the end, Congress counted the Electoral Votes and Presidential certification was done.
