Today’s Impeach-O-Meter: Man Who Works for Donald Trump Complains That No One Respects Women Anymore

The Impeach-O-Meter is a wildly subjective and speculative daily estimate of the likelihood that Donald Trump leaves office before his term ends, whether by being impeached (and convicted) or by resigning under threat of same.

Folks, who do you think said this?

When I was a kid growing up, a lot of things were sacred in our country. Women were sacred and looked upon with great honor. That’s obviously not the case anymore as we see from recent cases.

Yeah, it was White House chief of staff John Kelly, who must have missed … I guess the last forty years of his boss’s life. This was at a press conference that Kelly held to defend Trump’s behavior during his feud with the widow, mother, and (female) congressional representative of a U.S. soldier who recently died in Niger.

What is there to say, really, other than we should all sell our possessions in order to spend the rest of our lives living in caves and muttering at birds?
