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.

  OMG Do you see the first two words of each of your sentences? If he. 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.

Do you feel this decision will add weight to his tipping point or will the scale tip in his favor?

  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.
  
  A client must tell the truth to his attorney. That is the only way the client has a chance.

  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.

So far we've had nothing but astounding success. I expect more success leading up to re-election in 2020. Following that, I hope Mike Pence will become POTUS for 8 years.

  JE your inability to engage in an intelligent discussion is obvious. Your lack of maturity when it comes to discussing an issue is noted. Here's from the poll that you cited "This Washington Post-ABC News poll was conducted by telephone April 8-11, 2018, among a random national sample of 1,002 adults, including landline and cell phone respondents. 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.

  How would you define 'intelligent discussion', do I need to post infowarz or fox fake channel polls?
  
  And by the way, even though it's way off topic for you to mention and I'm just responding to set the record straight, Hillary did win the popular vote by roughly 3 million votes which could be considered a landslide over Spanky.
  
  Most real Christians who actually voted for him reached the 'trump tipping point' after Spanky endorsed an alleged pedophile, found out his 'lawyer' paid off a porn star, and reportedly called countries of God's good Earth s-holes, but these unthinkable abominations apparently didn't stop this charlatan named Jerry Falwell Junior from continuing to hold hands with the devil:

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.

  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.
  
  It looks like Nikki Haley and dear leader may be at odds over Russian sanctions. They were going to blame it on the "woman" getting confused.

  Wow Diane, "and Fox news did not know".... First Hannity stated Michael Cohen is not his attorney, and never was. Second, if he had been it certainly is his business not the public domains. And you ask will this tip the scale? It's very apparent how disparate the left is to care who Hannity's attorney is... Why not take a moment to read your comments before posting them. This one sounds very foolish. Tipping the scale, all of the lefts ridiculous conspiracy theory's have no base in truth, and only result in making the left look foolish.

  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.

  "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."

  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 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.

  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.

  What a pathological liar looks like when he opens his mouth and unfortunately the gullible trumpeteers actually believed him: Pathetic: He criticized President Obama's infrequent golf games but this lazy louse appears to spend most of his time, paid for by us, on the golf course, crying or whining like an unhinged irrational nut case on twitter or stuffing cheeseburgers in his mouth while lounging in bed as the country goes to hell:

  Yep, looking really bad for Spanky these days. And son-in-law's companies are being investigated for lying about their number of renters and their income. The nut doesn't fall far from the tree....

  Unfortunately for Spanky fans, the investigations into his family based companies are quite fruitful at this point. One reason smart POTUS's divest themselves from private businesses and also show their tax returns is to avoid any appearance of wrongdoing. But then, they were smart Presidents...

  One , Tax form releases are a newer thing altogether who cares how much they earn if they are successful leaders ? Two "divesting" oneself from private companies , Did the Clintons give up their law degrees other than impeachment results ? The Obama's their college degree's and social justice degree's , I know ........none of them actually ever had a job did they ?
  
  Obstruction number # 94 is the DNC lawsuit lodged this week , ........do we stop twiddling our thumbs yet ? The DNC should be worried about a Bernie Sanders lawsuit , Donna Brazzile , the fact that Clintons used them ALL and the DNC for money laundering , yes even Russian money , ..................But that will all come out with the Comey ,McCabe , Lynch , Rice , Clinton , Mueller impending sharkfest . Comey's already turning on Lynch , McCabe on Comey , Strok on McCabe ......what a cluster ?
  
  2018 is here you know, can you afford the seat losses ?

  A lot of blaming the liberals and not defending Spanky's transgressions, eh horse? You are not curious at all--and probably don't care--who has Spanky's family jewels in a bind, do you? No matter how many of his cronies are proven to have contacts with Putin's boys, you will still obey the edicts of a nobody like Sean Hannity. Give it up, your credibility is nil!

  And what exactly has your Trump fanaticism gained you but partisan self loathing and demise , One thing I love is how REAL news media is parroting certain buzz words in repetition , watch as subliminal messaging casts the spell over the marching masses ....russia russia russia russia , stormy stormy stormy stormy , collusion collusion collusion collusion , orange orange orange orange , it's pretty hilarious . There is no demise more damaging to a culture than ideological self loathing . Like the rise of Nazism there comes more mind control than mindful intelligence .
  
  That's why I USED to be a liberal .

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.

  In the upside down charlatan alternate Trump / conservative universe you might be correct but not here in the real world: Actually you're incorrect on all points: Dems are interested in protecting our schools by outlawing weapons of war, providing healthcare for all Americans from birth which is a constitutional right, not taking from the working class and giving to apple computer and walmart who are now hoarding roughly $500 billion of our money like the trump /con tax cut corporate welfare plan does: and regarding the economy? 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:
  
  Unless some major errors occur, Trump will be gone soon thank God, and so will his appalling family and corrupt friends, then we can try to salvage what's left of the states:
