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".

Kirk Lover
(3,608 posts)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.

(37,457 posts)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.

(37,457 posts)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.
