Adam Schiff- erstwhile impeachment guru of the democrat party following the Mueller debacle before  Congress hearings.

Did you happen to notice the date of publication?

Yes.  Glad you asked. Maybe you are finally paying attention.

What does that even mean?

That Red posted an outdated article without realizing it and is trying to cover up with an obtuse comment. In the immortal words of David Byrne, same as it ever was.

I posted that outdated article. I wrote it.

It pretty much tells us where are at this moment in terms of impeachment.

I have no idea what Red is talking about.

Hey, Ward and Kid -

About that amazing economy...
https://www.wsj.com/articles/economic-growth-didnt-hit-3-mark-last-year-revised-data-show-11564144200?fbclid=IwAR1WroLPmjHspax4ZP-Dh7VqWT5NzkERx3qe1dYt6AxtODwbO56yciP2kAA

Or if you don't like the Wall Street Journal, which I don't:
http://www.aei.org/publication/who-stole-our-3-economy/?fbclid=IwAR07Hb7bT0UijZHNc3TXCYZFqUnAy859ZeZ5UZ8ft8YBhFfP685vwI36EiQ

Given Wall Street whispers of a very European 1-handle for second-quarter GDP growth, the Trump White House might well have been pleased with the (preliminary) 2.1% number. Although the economy slowed from Q1’s 3.1% pace, it was “a better-than-anticipated outcome,” according to JPMorgan. Thanks, American consumer! And thanks American taxpayer, too, since solid government spending also helped.

But no thanks to American business, whose capital spending contracted by 0.6%. Another sign, perhaps, that the Trump trade war is offsetting the Trump tax cuts. (At least that’s JPMorgan’s theory.) While it’s good that the record-long economic expansion continues to roll in year ten, one led by consumer/government spending rather than business investment is not the boom you’re looking for.

A lack of corporate investment dragged down the previous estimates, along with fewer exports.

Wait, didn't the president promise us expanded corporate investment from reduced corporate tax rates?

A new distraction!

What about Obama's book deal? That's what Trump thinks should be investigated next.

Hey, Ward and Kid -

About that amazing economy...

Trump's trade positions were always problematic and why many republicans took a pass on voting in 2016(Hillary's ideas were  just as bad).
The drag( such that it is) on GDP numbers are rooted in Trumps tariffs and and trade positions.
But you overlook the strong consumer spending numbers (4.3%) and a consistent rise in wages amid low inflation and a strong labor market.
You, and the democrats, are left seemingly longing for a recession as the Russian hoax continues to be an albatross around your necks.
At this point nearly all the democrats favor huge tax increase to pay for cradle to grave social programs  while doubling down on open borders and taxpayer health plans for illegal immigrants, No wonder you oppose asking who is a citizen on the census.
You don't want to know the answer.

Wrong, wrong, and wrong.

But what else is new.

(a) I prayed that Trump was right and I was wrong about the economy.

(b) No, I don't ignore a thing. Like it said - you don't want government and consumer spending to be the primary driving forces. Or did you miss that part? Important, yes. Central? Not so much.

(c) You ignore (1) the comment that it is the lack of business investing that is a major factor, when you listed the drags, and (2) the "consistent rise in wages" is not Trump's fault.

(d) Your reasoning on my wanting the citizenship question off the census is bogus. I want a complete census of who lives here. The proof that that question will preclude a complete count is solid.

Huh? The lack of business investing is the result(as of now) the lack of confidence in Trump’s trade and tariff actions. How the “ consistent rise in wages” a ‘fault’. ?

  WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Saturday denigrated a majority-black district represented by a congressional nemesis as a “disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess,” broadening a campaign against prominent critics of his administration that has exacerbated racial tensions.

Trump lashed out in tweets against Rep. Elijah Cummings, the powerful House Oversight Committee chairman, claiming his Baltimore-area district is “considered the worst run and most dangerous anywhere in the United States.” It was the president’s latest assault on a prominent lawmaker, and the people he represents, two weeks after he sparked nationwide controversy with racist tweets directed at four congresswomen of color....

This evening’s Supreme Court ruling allowing @realDonaldTrump to steal military funds to spend on a wasteful, ineffective border wall rejected by Congress is deeply flawed. Our Founders designed a democracy governed by the people — not a monarchy.
