It’s simply undeniable he should be removed (even forgetting the other thousand reasons).

This is quite literally the most innocent Trump can be and it’s completely disqualifying:
The absolute best case scenario you can even come up with for Trump is “yes he’s a sex criminal but he may not have raped teens he just hung out at teen rape parties and covered up for those who did.”

That’s the unlikely BEST case scenario and he’s President!!

There — I fixed the analysis so it is actually accurate to what happened when 8 Senate Dems caved instead of keeping up the righteous fight to deliver lower health care costs for Americans.

Even if you have AMAZING employer insurance and will never leave your job and they keep costs down or fully fund it...no employer health insurance can save you from hospital/clinic/supplier/etc closures caused by falling off a cliff on Medicaid, Medicaid, and private insurance reimbursement.
Also if you get insurance through your employer and are sighing a deep breath of relief (while obviously still giving a shit about this issue)

understand your insurance through your employer can go up as well, and coverage offered lessened.

And if you lose your job and can't quickly find another

as a thought exercise for everyone reading ross douthat's latest missive in the NYT, i want you to think about sending an email to your entire company with the subject line "Did Women Ruin the Workplace?", then think about the over/under on the number of minutes/hours you would still be employed
