The word was "shithouse" according to National Review guy on CNN....

I didn't get his name, sorry. Like it makes a huge difference that he supposedly said shithouse countries instead of shithole countries.

eta: Erin Burnett's show with April Ryan, Paris Dennard (who tried to defend Trump) and Joan Walsh also.

eta2: It is Rich Lowry from NR. Looked him up after I heard him referred to as "Rich".

yes it can be used. Of course we use shithouse from time to time or on a rare occassion.

But it's the context. That is what I meant! Nobody says shithouse country. People say shithole...and so do orange assholes.

To research what Lowry said, I looked on Google News. Absolutely NO evidence of shithouse, so yes, how in the f**** does he know? Defection/diversion and just plain lying.

A distinction without a difference is a type of logical fallacy where an author or speaker attempts to describe a distinction between two things where no discernible difference exists

So we are left with two possibilities

1- Lowry was lying out of his ass

2- Lowry was told bad information

I go with option number one, personally.
