Shit-hole or shit house?

Quakertrucker · 70-79, M
Shit-hole or shit house? Why are the Republican apologists for President Trump arguing that Trump said "shit house" rather than "shit-hole"? What makes one better than the other?

Besides, although I have heard "shit-hole" used as a descriptive term, I have only heard "shit house" used as a noun for an outhouse, as in "I need to hit the shit house pretty soon." When first building our home up north in Michigan, my wife and I used an outhouse for about a year as we lived in, and built, our home. So, I have used the term.

Has anyone ever heard "shit house" used as a descriptor?

Who cares if he said it, it's true. Why does that bother you yet when oblamo said lybia was a shithole 9 times in one day no one batted an eye. Me thinks you just don't like Mr. Trump. At least Mr. Trump's "defenders" aren't dumb ass hypocrits.

Yes, there is! I try to treat all people with the humanity and humility that I expect for myself.

It really irritates me when someone, acting or speaking on behalf of my country, does not act in the same manner - especially when speaking publicly in his official capacity as president, such as in the meeting with the senators.

And, political agreement or not does not play a role in my support or my condemnation. Politically, I often agreed with President Clinton, but it disgusted me that he used his position of power to coerce a young, naive intern into having a sexual relationships with him. Because of the power he had in that relationship, it could be fairly said that President Clinton raped Monica Lreinsky! I said that then, and I say it now.

And, Hillary was nothing more than an enabler of that rape! Thus, there was no way in hell that I could vote for her for president.

And, because of his racist, sexist statements, I could also not vote for Trump for president.

I was a big supporter of Bernie Sanders' candidacy. However, since he was not on the ballot in November, I left that spot open on my ballot - for the first time ever since I cast my first vote for Richard Nixon - which vote I regretted a year later - in 1972.

I do not want President Trump to trumpet his racism and ethnic prejudices when speaking for our nation - and on my and your behalf.

Hope that explains my anger.
