Sorry, Keith. We've been over this already. I pointed out that women defended Trump's comment as he was only talking about the women who let guys do that. Such women do exist.
Only a downright prude would be offended by that statement more than women are offended.

The economy is booming so much, people can’t afford health care, drive their own cars to scrimp change as a taxi, and college is prohibitively expensive.
The economy is booming so much, people are getting seven year loans on their car. It booming so hard, unemployment is so low, that wages aren’t going up by much at all except where the minimum wage is increased.
Booming everywhere except in the wallet.

Really? It's not booming for those in the bottom half. I have two friends, one who is working full time and the other who is unable to do much work due to a disability. One of them has her car in the shop and doesn't have enough money to pay for the repairs. The other one just returned to work after almost dying. She needs money to pay her real estate taxes and make her car payment by the end of the month. Luckily for her, she doesn't have a mortgage because her former land lord left her the home that she was renting from him, in his will. She also has a daughter who might be able to help her out. I've given her money before, but I can't afford to support all of my poor friends, especially now that my husband and I are retired.
My wealthy brother in law on the other hand is a Trump supporter for one reason. "He put more money in my pocket". So, for people like my bro in law, the economy is booming, but for people like my two poor friends, not so much.
It's true that there are jobs available, but most don't pay enough for people to support themselves. An economy that only serves those who are already able to support themselves isn't really something to praise.

And yet, even if that wrre true, that's completely beside the point that at least some of his defenders were using 'happened a long time ago' as a defense of Trump.
And since you hold all Leftists responsible for anything any leftist says, you must agree with anything any conservative says. Therefore, you bringing up Bernie's comments from the dark ages is hypocritical.

Plus there's the fact that Trump wasn't talking about the women who let guys do that. He specifically said he didn't ask...just assaulted them. The notion that it was okay if the women "let" guys do that is awfully similar to the "well, she was asking for it...looked at how she's dressed!" sentiment that's used as an excuse for sexual assault.
And speaking of downright prudes, anyone remember the "party of family values" from the 90s? The people who lost their ever-loving minds and clutched their pearls over the fact that Bill Clinton had a consensual extramarital relationship? A big part of the 2000 campaign was to "restore honor and integrity to the White House," and they even suggested that the Oval Office would need to be disinfected to get the stench of such an immoral man out of there.
The exact same prudes gleefully elected a man who cheated on his first wife with his second, his second with his third, and his third wife with a porn star. The party of "how dare the President cheat" did a 180 and became the party of "the President's personal life is none of your business."

But is the "pussy grabbing" comment in the actual articles of impeachment that just left the Judiciary Committee and are moving on to the full House?

Oh, and the Libertarian Party has officially come out in favor of impeachment.

Also none of your business:
* President's meetings with leaders of foreign adversaries
* Actual transcripts from the calls where Trump committed crimes
* Sources of GOP/Trump Campaign funding
* President's tax returns
* Thousands of subpoenaed documents
* What Rudi, Igor, Lev, Billy Barr, Rick Perry, Moscow Mitch, Ivanka, Jared, Donny Jr, Pompeo and Mulvaney have been doing on behalf of Donald the Trump...
Yeah, there's not much about this administration that is the business of anyone but their donors at home and abroad.

Did Harold Ramis insult people who served, were injured, captured, and died, suffer PTSD, and their parents, the way Bonespurs has?

They should have been in favor of impeachment a long time ago, not merely to appear to be opposition to a dictator in training.

And leftists went from, "Who cares if Clinton cheated?" to "Trump is disgusting for cheating! What a sick man! Not fit for the white house!"
You realize it was like this under Obama, right? Practically every President!
It seems to me that most poor people hate rich people and most rich people hate poor people. The rich say, "Why should I care about the poor? I'm not poor." The poor say, "Why should I care about the rich? I'm not rich." So, both types of people are operating in their own self-interest. It's just as bad for the poor to hate the rich. The poor shouldn't get a pass on their hatred. It's ironic to me that leftists talk about capitalists as people who "lick boot." But, these same leftists want to tax billionaires so they can get more money out of them, which is licking their boots.
What I would recommend for your friend is to sell her car and take public transportation instead.

Until this point there wasn't an impeachment to be in favor of, just a lot of talk. What other things that don't exist yet should we also be in favor of?

False. There were Dems in favor of impeachment after the Mueller Report.

Except the numbers don't really support this--unemployment is low but we aren't seeing wages react as they should. The economy is not as good as the unemployment rate says.
