Trump tweets

"“Barack Obama talked a lot about hope, but Donald Trump delivered the American Dream. All the economic indicators, what’s happening overseas, Donald Trump has proven to be far more successful than Barack Obama. President Trump is delivering the American Dream.” Jason Chaffetz"

"“Ford has abruptly killed a plan to sell a Chinese-made small vehicle in the U.S. because of the prospect of higher U.S. Tariffs.” CNBC. This is just the beginning. This car can now be BUILT IN THE U.S.A. and Ford will pay no tariffs!"

I don't see that at all. Not only Pelosi, as you mentioned, but other Dems have stated that impeachment is not a priority of the Dems.

Also, on the blogs I follow, I don't see calls for impeachment. So I want to ask *where* you see such calls on a daily basis?

Maxine gets a lot of coverage in conservative media, being the shining star of the Democrat Party.
 
Trump twets

"If the U.S. sells a car into China, there is a tax of 25%. If China sells a car into the U.S., there is a tax of 2%. Does anybody think that is FAIR? The days of the U.S. being ripped-off by other nations is OVER!"


"“Trump has set Economic Growth on fire. During his time in office, the economy has achieved feats most experts thought impossible. GDP is growing at a 3 percent-plus rate. The unemployment rate is near a 50 year low.” CNBC...Also, the Stock Market is up almost 50% since Election!"
 
Slings and Arrows said:
"Senate Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) revealed Democrat plans for next year at a Labor Day parade on Monday when he, using a bullhorn, told a crowd member that he and Democrats intend to impeach President Donald Trump should they gain control of the Congress.

"The comments by Schumer are, to date, the most significant and open pledge that Democrats intend to impeach Trump on day one of a Democrat-controlled Congress.

“When are you going to impeach Trump? a man shouted as Schumer walked by, carrying a bullhorn.

“The sooner the better! the Senate minority leader fired back."

"And if we really want to do it right, if we really want to show them our strength, join with me, let's Impeach 45! Impeach 45! Impeach 45! Impeach 45! Impeach 45! …"

That's fine. It's what is supposed to happen when the president violates the law. All they've said is that they'll do their duty, a duty the Republicans have failed at.

Yahoo Finance has graphs of major economic indicators, which have different interactive time scales. It's a quick and easy way to check market performance

If I dig out my economics class notes, there's a site where you can get even better data to do econometrics, however I think it was behind a pay wall.
 
Trump Tweets on the North Korean Parade

"North Korea has just staged their parade, celebrating 70th anniversary of founding, without the customary display of nuclear missiles. Theme was peace and economic development. “Experts believe that North Korea cut out the nuclear missiles to show President Trump......"

"...its commitment to denuclearize.” @FoxNews This is a big and very positive statement from North Korea. Thank you To Chairman Kim. We will both prove everyone wrong! There is nothing like good dialogue from two people that like each other! Much better than before I took office."

You're linking to exactly what I found - a front page with no indication how to get to the feature you're describing.

The fact that the Moron still doesn’t understand what “denuclearization” implies is itself proof that he is unable to carry out the duties of his office.

I don't consider that to necessarily be a sign of a healthy economy. Housing prices were doing great in 2007 and the stock market was kick-ass in 1928.

And not just you:

Here is what I see: a market that recovered from a near-bear market in late 2015 and early 2016 (unless you forgot, the S&P fell about 12% in 6 weeks), and that near-miss sparked a price surge that took the index up from around 1,900 to where it is now, knocking on the door of 2,800. That’s a more than a 45% move in under 2 years. And again, the Nasdaq is a leading contributor. And again, investors are getting excited, with FOMO (fear of missing out) becoming a dominant driver of market movement.

How we got here: It's worth re-reading Michael Moore's pre-election essay predicting Trump's victory.

Friends: I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I gave it to you straight last summer when I told you that Donald Trump would be the Republican nominee for president. And now I have even more awful, depressing news for you: Donald J. Trump is going to win in November. This wretched, ignorant, dangerous part-time clown and full time sociopath is going to be our next president.

I've seen calls for impeachment, but they're quite far from daily, and, generally speaking, not from people who have any significant power to do so. Slings and Arrows choice to point towards Breitbart isn't particularly convincing to me, regardless, given Breitbart's quality. With that said, I can certainly see Schumer responding to a guy who asked that with a "The sooner the better!" and meaning it completely, regardless of whether there's any serious plans to impeach Trump before there's real hope of enough Republican Senators joining into the fray to make it actually happen.
