What will be the tipping point for the Trump presidency?

   Will there be a tipping point?  Lying on a daily basis is ok?  campaign corruption is ok?  Pursuit of own interest above the citizens is ok?  What if Cohen proves colllustion with Russia through his Prague visit?  What if there is irrefutable evidence to support these claims.
   
   All is ok as long as Trump meets my needs which are?  a job?  stop immigration?  How does he meet your requirements as president?

         Yet Jake everything is going so well... He certainly handled the Syria crisis well. Much better than Obama did. And he did it by listening to our top military advisers, and are top two allies. He is doing a wonderful job as president. Syria is just one example. He may just solve the NK crisis. Our last three presidents just did not seem to have what it  took, and NK now can hit our shores with  nukes.  I have faith I will be right back here at Hub once again pointing out the positive in regards to our president solving another huge crisis, the NK Nuclear problem.. So odd some just never will see the benefits of having a president that does a great job. Even though they can enjoy them...   He certainly is not pretty, he certainly kills the English language, and he certainly is doing the job he was hired to do... LOL

         Anybody remember  .........................Children gather round  , Once a long time ago all Americans sat around the  teepees and log cabins and dreamed of the day when we would have the chance to elect someone "outside " of establishment elected leaders .  Remember when we ALL believed that there was no hope that we would ever be lead by any other than a Kennedy , a Goldwater , a Nixon ,  a  Gore or even  a Bush ? We probably  [then ] would have been happy with either party or an  independent candidate that offered an alternative to business as usual deadlock , gridlock and apathy .

      If he leaves before his four years are up, it will be the result of impeachment or resignation in response to Mueller's findings -- IF Mueller finds wrongdoing.
      
      If he makes it through four years and we have a severe recession, his weakest supporters will give up on him and he will be voted out of office.
      
      If Russia and the Libertarian billionaires buy another election for him, he will stay in office for a second term.

Do you ever actually look at the facts of what the President has accomplished?  This is so sad, a bunch of adults that sit around and pray for "if comes"... No really. What if he solves NK?  What if he helps bring down the death rate that is occurring with our citizens using   Opioids? What if our welfare rolls go down even more, because they are already substantially down? What if more of our citizens can purchase homes, oh that's happening too...  What if he can get better trade deals, that's also apparent in some cases. What if you were wrong about this mans motives? What if he wanted to give back as he has claimed?  And finally what if there  is no there, there in the Mueller investigation?  Will any of you apologize for your ill thoughts? Will any of you acknowledge that you were wrong?  Because so far Trump has  proven very wrong.

         Some say the Michael Cohen revelations will be it.  They expect Cohen to roll over on Trump.  I'm wondering if he will implicate Hannity in some type of cover up.
         
         Mueller's operation is so brilliant.  It is possible that he has most of everything he needs.  I think he is making sure there are no holes in his case.  He has a team of the most brilliant legal minds ever.  Trump is not going to be able to match the legal wit.  I think Alan Dershowitz wants to help as much as he can.  He may feel a little oily since the Sean Hannity revelation.

            I agree that Mueller is brilliant and has assembled a highly skilled and honorable team of investigators. I marvel at the absence of leaks. It is truly impressive that an investigation subject to so much non-stop scrutiny has remained leak-free.
            
            I wonder if the tipping point will simply occur when the Mueller report is released? Until then, we won't know details and truth of what happened with Russia and so much else.

Overall results have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points." in a country with over 300 million people asking 1,000 people a question over the phone really means nothing.

                     "Most real Christians" I can honestly say one more thing you can't grasp and that is a REAL Christian.  If you want a poll, I'll give you a poll.  President Trump's approval rating is at 51 percent.  Over half the country believes he is doing a good job as president.  I'm sure among those 51 percent are some very real Christians but I don't think you'd know it.

                        That's 51 people in the United States approve of Spanky, not 51%. If you honestly think 51% of the country thinks he's doing a good job I've got some pre-printed left over 'trump university' diplomas to sell ya.
                        
                        Spanky just got spanked in PA by 20% when his candidate LOST the special election in a ruby red district.

                           As always with liberals.  Facts, truth and reality have no effect on your thinking.  It's make you humorous, but nobody to take serious. 
                           
                           "that I had previously posted, and now you have a complaint about the poll? And I'm the person incapable of intelligent discussion?"

                           Oh, and the PA election wasn't 20 percent.  By the next morning after the election it was too close to call.  Lamb won by having just a few hundred more votes.  If you knew what you were talking about, it might be more interesting than laughable.

   Under any normal presidency, that tipping point came a long time ago. However, with so many allegations coming forth, it's almost hard to keep track of them. It doesn't help when you have one political party not willing to do much to alleviate the problem.
   
   The best we can do is apply as much pressure possible to get something done. This presidency has been a dumpster fire, and in true democratic fashion, we need to put out the flame (metaphorically speaking, of course).

                  Don't miss my point
                  
                  Real media and fake media alike have ethics and standards.   
                  
                  Five Core Principles of Journalism
                  1. Truth and Accuracy
                  Journalists cannot always guarantee ‘truth’, but getting the facts right is the cardinal principle of journalism. We should always strive for accuracy, give all the relevant facts we have and ensure that they have been checked. When we cannot corroborate information we should say so.
                  
                  2. Independence
                  Journalists must be independent voices; we should not act, formally or informally, on behalf of special interests whether political, corporate or cultural. We should declare to our editors – or the audience – any of our political affiliations, financial arrangements or other personal information that might constitute a conflict of interest.
                  
                  3. Fairness and Impartiality
                  Most stories have at least two sides. While there is no obligation to present every side in every piece, stories should be balanced and add context. Objectivity is not always possible, and may not always be desirable (in the face for example of brutality or inhumanity), but impartial reporting builds trust and confidence.
                  
                  4. Humanity
                  Journalists should do no harm. What we publish or broadcast may be hurtful, but we should be aware of the impact of our words and images on the lives of others.
                  
                  5. Accountability
                  A sure sign of professionalism and responsible journalism is the ability to hold ourselves accountable. When we commit errors we must correct them and our expressions of regret must be sincere not cynical. We listen to the concerns of our audience. We may not change what readers write or say but we will always provide remedies when we are unfair.

                        In this case, I don't consider it rage but you do respond in a less than friendly manner to most people whom you perceive as the adversary.

                                 Hi, Diane, thanks for looking in. I am well these days. I always knew that you were bit more conservative than I, but again "viva la difference". It would be unbearably boring if we all parrot the same views, all the time. Yes, I am a Democrat, and while I have issues with the party, it reflects my ideological and political views far more closely than the "other party".
                                 
                                 I am content to let the "thing" play out.  Mueller has to stay the course  but in all fairness to Trump, when Mueller is satisfied that Trump gets a clean bill of health at that time I will get off of his back, at least in this matter, anyway.
                                 
                                 Somebody said that it was un-American not to support the President regardless of what his policies are and what he does.  I did not like Bush's preemptive war on Iraq, either. I will always respect the office and allow its occupant an opportunity to do the job properly, but that does not mean I will become a mere bobble-head supporting his every action.
                                 
                                 Yes, I am probably as adamant about the "Left" as Ahorseback is about the political Right, I just hope that my political adversaries find me a bit more palatable in expressing my views.

                                    You make my point.  We don't agree on everything and don't have to.  We communicate and respect each other.  We all come from different backgrounds and careers.
                                    
                                    In order to survive corporate America, I learned to communicate respectfully and effectively.  My paycheck and promotions depended on it.  I thought about it.  Many people have never been in a situation where they are required to accomplish objectives together.  That's why group activities in school are so important.

      Honestly Ahorse, it seems you take every discussion opportunity to cast aspersions on those you don't agree with.
      
      My post is about "tipping points."  Two years ago I took an online class on tipping points.  I had no idea that the topic could be spread into an 8 week class.  I am looking for healthy discussion of whatever your particular viewpoint is.
      
      Mentioning people from the past, regardless of what they've done, has absolutely nothing to do with the discussion unless you are doing a comparison.  "What about" is a distraction, not a comparison.
      
      I feel like some people are stalking me to try to ruin any type of productive exchange I try to generate.  When I have disdain for a topic, I don't participate.  That is being narcissistic. 
      
      As i have said for the past four/five years.  I am not a Democrat.  I don't see anything wrong with being a Democrat, Republican, Independent or whatever one chooses to call himself.  What is important is rational thought processes that lead to productive discussion, and perhaps enlightenment, that makes us all respect others though we may disagree.
      
      Kicking, ranting, and attempts to antagonist reflect poorly on those who do those things on a day to day basis.
      
      I'm not responding to any more red herrings.

         The fact that you'd actually rather a Trump "Tipping Point' than a smooth sailing presidency says it all Diane , neither you nor anyone else on the obstructionists side needs to get  " bent out of shape " because someone disagrees with your dreamscape of a Trump  failure .     This is what's called a political forum discussion  debate, discourse ,......Or did you want just those who agree with your political point to respond ? You didn't ask -WILL there be a tipping point you asked -when , that alone say's it all .  Stalking ? I like most political debate , Stalking's  a week accusation and  sounds like you cannot stand the heat of political debate .
         Answer- "tipping point "?  Perhaps in seven more years .

            Ahorse, disagreeing agreeably would be a welcomed change.
            
            How about
            "The tipping point will come when the Rusian investigation is proven to be a ruse.  Charges against Flynn, Popadopoulos, Gates and Manafort will be dropped because there was no evidence to support the charges that were made.  You will enjoy your tax reduction and experience a higher standard of living.  You will thank President Trump that crime has decreased and you will gladly vote for him in the 2020  election."
            
            That is disagreement that doesn't call anyone names or use divisive rhetoric.  That could be a great starting point for discussion.

               Some of us........ already think that the progressive one is Trump , his policies , the economics, the diplomacies, the jobs , the corporate success', the progress on immigration , his foreign policies , tax breaks and  his military respect .There was never a need for a positive  "tipping point"on our side because we live it and have since the beginning of our faith in his leadership .
               
               Your Russian Investigation , as the rest , is a ruse as is most all the other obstructive media driven frenzy.     I'm not name calling and I won't go on a political defensive in forums  to suit your needs or ideological insecurities , what I will do however is stand against yours or anyones nay-saying of true political progress of our president .
               
               If defending our president is somehow "divisive rhetoric " maybe it's your side  that's the overly politically sensitive  party and not mine . Perhaps your "tipping point "will be your accepting the positive political reality that IS rather than the one you want it to be.

   Perhaps there are too many here too sensitive to the alt realities of  political hogwash to carry on the good fight in a political forum .

             I was an auditor for aerospace industry back in the day.  I passed the cpa exam.  I was doing systems audits for contract compliance, government regulations and compliance with company regulations.  I was the first AA auditor in the department.  My reports were controversial because the head of the department had dumbed down the audit requirements.  My most significant audit was a receiving department audit.  I saw a 5 tier rack in the corner and took samples.  I was told that these were not subject to audit beecause theey were "exception" processing.  The VP of Operations sat in on the audit briefing.  I was on my own because my boss, who thought I was on a wild goose chase would not support me.
             there were "exceptions" that were deliverables on a contract with a past due delivery date.  This stops production on a contract.  Bottom line, I became a leader of a red team that went out to identify problems at various locations in California and Arizona.
             
             Most recently I was told that I was not doing my job right, teaching choir.  I received bad evaluations, for the first time in my life.  I would project my evaluations on the wall with deficiencies.  My students helped me critique and respond to the evaluations.  I ultimately got the Superintendent of Schools involved.  My students parents were callng the school board.  The person evaluating me couldn't read or write standard English.

       ahorseback, What's so wonderful about these investigations, most involved  left not only paper trails but Youtube video's trials, as well as Government video archive trails . Oh, and a few are already turning on each other.   These fools thought they were above the law. Not so much...  Should be fun to watch.

          More than anything the phony investigations need to end and the real ones begin , Tell me one thing however .....   Why did the Trump Collusion and subsequent half dozen investigations begin BEFORE any were even started  about the highly corrupted Obama administration and the Clinton mafia ? 
          
          Of of a sudden Trump is supposed to be happy he's being cleared by Mueller and 
          Rosenstein ,   There is something highly crooked about all of this .  The American public is to perhaps too intellectually lacking to understand that it was all a conspiracy by a sitting administration [Obama ] against a campaigning civilian and his subsequent campaign victory .
          
          Treasonous , conspiratorial  , one thing or another heads are gonna roll I think .

             Kim Jung Un spent the last year and a half forcing Spanky Trump into drawing about a dozen red lines then forcing him into humiliation by his bumbling inability to enforce those red lines remember? I do:  N. Korea has essentially perfected their Nuke capability and have no more need to aggressively test hence their willingness to negotiate with the U.S. but they will never give up their nukes and the experts know this, but unfortunately for the world, we have a delusional old man in the oval office who actually believes they will:
             
             Hatred of Mr. Trump? Absolutely and it's more than justified: I'm not sure how anyone would expect the American people to feel toward a megalomaniac who constantly sabotages our healthcare system, transfers our wealth to Wall Street, Slams the working folk by neglecting to give them a pay raise, gives the green light to poison our water and air supply and of course, prods other mentally unsound leaders to the brink of nuclear conflict as the Russian puppet in the oval office does:

                Something to add about the North Korean crisis. They've done this a lot in the past. The big reason they threaten brinkmanship is to (1) get some deal with the outside world to keep their disastrous economy going. (2) save the regime (3) get needed things such as...food. The nuclear weapons were bargaining chips  and (dare I say) an empty threat. Evoking fear and intimidation was their strategy. The regime learned a long time ago, that they can play this game.  Still, the specter here is that they now have nuclear weapons and the capability to use them. Time will only tell if they actually adhere to denuclearization (part of me hopes, but reality states it's otherwise).  Also, it should noted that initial reports (at least from NPR) indicate that North Korea's economic crisis was the reason they are coming to the table to discuss terms.

    The Left's political positions are: Take away individual rights, increase government power, flood the country with illegal immigrants, destroy the economy through excessive taxation and regulation and international trade agreements, and destroy the middle class. Oh--and go to war with Russia at the behest of international bankers who are pissed that Russia has made itself largely squid-free.
    
    As far as I can tell the Left's entire constituency consists of government employees/retirees, and others who support big government because it gives them a cut (corporations enjoying monopolies/subsidies and their employees).
    
    As with all political matters, the real divisions are economic. The Left wants government money to continue to flow to them; the Right wants to be relieved of excessive taxation and government intrusion into both their personal and economic lives.
    
    Leftist are Statists. They want the people to have no power and no personal and economic self-determination, and the government to be all-powerful. Tough sell.

Spanky Trump has been an utter disaster instigating one of the biggest stock market flops in HISTORY because of his insane trade war catastrophe:
       
       Here's the reality, not a liar Sean Hammity warped conservative view of how our economy performed consistently over an 8 year period under Democrat President Obama: He miraculously cleaned up the economic disaster of Bush and the cons to achieve near perfection with a record 84 straight months of high paying job growth while maintaining a 35% corporate tax rate on Wall Street: Just one reason why he's a top 5 president:
