Fareed Zakaria: The Republican Party Is A 'Platform To Support The Ego Of One Man And His Family'

[Little-Acorn]

"The media must cover the administration's policies fairly but it also must never let the public forget that many of the attitudes and actions of this president are gross violations of the customs and practices of the modern American system," Zakaria insisted.

TRANSLATION: Donald Trump is doing nothing wrong, and in fact is continuing the behavior that people put him in office for. But I hate it anyway, so I have to spin up as much language as I can to vaguely imply there's somehow something wrong with it without naming anything specific.

"They are aberrations and they cannot become the new norms."

TRANSLATION: Trump is kicking our butts every day, and we can't lay a glove on the guy. We have to find some way to duck it.

"That way, after Trump, the country will not start the next presidency with tattered standards and sunken expectations."

...the way the country had to after Obama.

 

[Little-Acorn]

Somebody at CNN doesn't like Trump?

I never would have known that if this thread hadn't shown up and told me so.

CNN host Fareed Zakaria lamented on Sunday that the U.S. Congress could no longer be considered a check on the power of President Donald Trump because the controlling party had become a platform that caters to the whims of the president and his family.

"Donald Trump in much of his rhetoric and many of his actions poses a danger to American democracy," Zakaria explained. "American democracy has a series of checks intended to prevent the accumulation and abuse of power by any one person or group."

"But there is one gaping hole in the system: the president," he continued. "The president in effect sits above the law. The Justice Department works for him."

According to the CNN host, Congress' power of impeachment is the only "real check" on the president.

"Since Trump's own party controls both chambers of Congress, there has been little resistance to him there," he noted. "It appears the Republican Party is losing any resemblance to a traditional western political party. Instead, turning into something more commonly found in the developing world: a platform to support the ego, appetites and interests of one man and his family."

What a fucking load of Tripe. I guess party unity and lock-step action was a good thing when Obamacare was rammed through congress, but now since the other party is in power, its THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT.

Obama ran roughshod over the country for 8 years without any real check from the press, and now they decide its time to speak up.

What. A. Bunch. of. Fucking. Hacks.

What "roughshod" did he "run over the country?" LOL, what the fuck are you even talking about dude?

Executive orders, massive new regulations created without congressional input, Obamacare.

/mike drop.

Any reason news networks can't hire news anchors, editorialists and reporters? Keep each to their own job.

TRANSLATION: I don't like his opinion, because he's right, therefore I'm gonna say he isn't a real reporter because I'm a partisan hack.

Is your Trump hatred at 9 or 10?

100 % the rest of you supporters of his .. only 90%

Not enough evidently, and EO's and regulatory increases were done without congress.

This was my favorite part. I don't usually see him, but this Sunday my schedule was off.

A lot of words to say he doesn't like the President.

A hack expresses his personal opinion and you eat it up as factual news.

This is the level of stupidity of this board on both sides.

Translation: I don't like his opinion, because he's right, therefore I'm gonna say he isn't a real reporter because I'm a partisan hack.

Opinions are not suppose to come from reporters. Apparently he is not one, but rather an editorial person. That means he has an opinion and nothing more. Is it correct? If you are a liberal probably yes, if not, then he is wrong. That is how opinions work. Next whine please.

He's a journalist, and of course they can have opinions, dude. What planet are you from?

He's also 100% correct about everything.

A journalist?…
