America is being subjected to a stress test – and Republicans are failing
Robert Reich
Most elected Republicans are refusing to stand up to Trump. Their cowardice is one of the worst betrayals of public trust in the history of our republic
The fact that Trump’s attempted coup won’t succeed doesn’t make it any less damaging. A new poll from Monmouth University now finds 77% of Trump supporters believe Biden’s win was due to fraud – a claim, I should emphasize again, backed by zero evidence.
Which means America’s stress test won’t be over when Joe Biden is sworn in as president 20 January. In the years to come we’ll continue to depend on the integrity of thousands of unsung heroes to do their duty in the face of threats to their livelihoods and perhaps their lives.
Of his many odious acts, Trump’s desperate attempt to cling to power by stress-testing American democracy will be his most reprehensible legacy.

New Andrew Bolt blog FAQ
Welcome to the new-look Andrew Bolt blog. Some things have changed but posting and reading comments remains the same. Explore.
This guy really does goes on about 'free speech' but it's not free it's user pays speech and this is just really a phishing site for that purpose. His soapbox isn't in Central Park competing freely in the market place of ideas it's soley owned by the Murdochs and designed to influence not provide news or inform. The commentaries are moderated so much so it's little more than a fake halo placed above photo-shopped image of Andrew Bolt The selling of advertising isn't enough subscriptions are required because they the Herald Sun and Sky are losing money faster than a colander used as a bucket .
Bolt claims he's part of the 'private media' market yet his CEO's primary job is to glean subsidies from the government not in small amounts but in millions of dollars and on a quid pro quo Morrison and his LNP is media spit polished and promoted to the Australian electorate.
Currently Kevin Rudd is demanding a Royal Commission be held into the relationship between the LNP and Murdoch media and he has the support of Malcom Turnbull. The two Prime Ministers know the inner workings of the political relationship they share. Andrew Bolt is little more than a sideshow a distraction from the real business model that exists between the workings of the LNP/IPA/ and Murdoch. He's not very good at what he does and isn't and never has been respected it the industry but that's not what he wants. He wants to be seen as a member of the power elite those he works for and not just as a well tipped bus boy. The closest he came was saying he was a 'friend' of Tony Abbott's. They say everyone has 15 minutes of fame but really in Bolt's case the quality isn't mentioned.
