Thanks for that.

Looking at those links: 20th Jan 2017 2,271; today 2,878.

So that's up by 26%, if my ill, tired Sunday brain has done the simple maths correctly.

Around the beginning of 2016 would probably be of more note as a place to start for those numbers. By the look of it there, it was around 2000, then sharply dipped to around 1900 for a bit at the beginning of Trump's time in office.

His claim was that it had increased by almost 50% since he'd been in office.
 
A good foursome for the Dem Mount Rushmore would be Michael Moore, Maxine Waters, Fauxcahontas, and Ashley Judd (mid-snarl in her famous rant).

A good Mount Rushmore for the Republicans would be Alex Jones, David Duke, Jessie Helms and Trumplethinskin tweeting on his golden toilet.

Yessiree bob.

[T]he recovery finally kicked in during 2009. The stock market has, more or less, been climbing ever since. The president knows this: In a presidential debate during the 2016 election,Trump actually used the fact of the continuously climbing stock market to criticize Democrats. He insisted that the gains seen during Obama’s tenure were leading to “a big, fat, ugly bubble.” Link

"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."

Just more quoting from other sources without any comment from you. But, ok, let's assume you endorse the views expressed here, a rabid, nutty right-wing site. Not exactly a good source of reliable information.

Rather, let's turn to Politico, a relatively unbiased source.
After months of Democrat Leadership pretending that their ultimate goal wasn’t to impeach President Trump, Chuck Schumer just tore the mask off of his parties anti-Trump radicalism,” said former White House aide Andy Surabian...

So you find what you want to see in one quote and think that is more convincing that "months" of Dem denial. Speaking of denial ...

As he {Schumer} has said many times and continues to believe, talk of impeachment is premature, and special counsel Mueller’s investigation should be allowed to continue without any interference,”

So, again, you find one statement made during a parade to be more convincing that an opposite position stated many times. If you ever wonder what the right-wing bubble is, that's it.

Pelosi, a favorite political villain of Trump, has repeatedly tamped down impeachment talk as “not a priority.” Other Democrats have been in agreement. California Rep. Adam Schiff, ranking member on the House intelligence committee, recently argued on a Yahoo News podcast that there’s a reason why Trump has been raising the specter of impeachment — “because he knows it energizes his base.”

Here's two more Dem leaders contradicting what you're pushing.

All that ought to be embarrassing but I'm gonna guess that it isn't for you.

ETA: I asked for where you see claims of Dem policy of impeachment "on a daily basis". Are you saying Breitbart pushes this crap daily?

FWIW, Hitchens take on Fahrenheit 9/11

Rationalwiki on Michael Moore and Fahrenheit 9/11
https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Michael_Moore
In case you are unaware, that is the temperature at which freedom burns. In decimal that's about .82F or -17.32C. Anyhoo, George W. Bush is paraded around as a pure force of idiocratic evil who is tight with Saudi Arabia, and thus was complicit in the World Trade Center attacks.

A number of logical fallacies are committed, including an ad hominem in which instead of criticizing Dubya's politics, Moore attempts to portray him as a "lame duck president" for having been on vacation 42% of the time in his first eight months in office.[4] This movie also contains one of the most egregious examples of quote mining, where Condoleezza Rice is portrayed as arguing that there was a link between Saddam Hussein and the 9/11 attacks, even though she was actually saying the opposite.

In 2004, Moore went completely off his nut, declaring that if Bush was re-elected as President:
“”"...he's going to bring back the draft. He will be forced to. Because, thanks to his crazy war, recruitment is going to be at an all-time low. And many of the troops stuck over there are NOT going to re-enlist. The only way Bush is going to be able to staff the military is to draft you and your friends. Parents, make no mistake about it - Bush's second term will see your sons taken from you and sent to fight wars for the oily rich."

Over four years later, the draft had not been reintroduced.

"This is not simply an election about right versus left, this is an election about right versus wrong."
-- DNC Chairman Tom Perez (Sept 9, 2018)


Yep, wholeheartedly agree.
