Shithole versus blowjob: oh the hypocrisy of the Republicans...
Remember the Republicans and conservatives wringing their hands back in the nineties about Clinton's blowjob? "Oh, I had to explain to my 9 year old what a blowjob was" blah blah blah, he is ruining the country and other such nonsense.
Shithole. Said loud and proud in a meeting when he KNEW (or should have known) it would go public rapidly. The Republicans? Oh the word was "shithouse" (like it makes a bit of difference) and other such spin BS.
I'm listening for the moral panic and outrage of the Republicans that NOW they have to explain to their tender-eared children what a SHITHOLE is. Or shithouse, take your pick.
Republicans and Hypocrisy: It's what's for dinner/breakfast/lunch/midnight snack
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".
Trump supposedly had Mein Kampf on his nightstand. Will Trump "slip"...
and start quoting it in public or in meetings where his usage can be confirmed ?
If he will say "shithole countries", what's next ? Good Aryan nations like Norway and Germany ?

Reporters to Trump ambassador: This is the Netherlands you have to answer questions

Peter Hoekstra, the newly minted U.S. ambassador to the Netherlands, held his first news conference with the Dutch media at his new residence in The Hague on Wednesday.
It did not go well.
Dutch journalists peppered Hoekstra with questions on unsubstantiated claims he made in 2015 about chaos that the “Islamic movement” had allegedly brought to the Netherlands.
“There are cars being burned. There are politicians that are being burned,” he said then, at a conference hosted by a conservative group. “And yes, there are no-go zones in the Netherlands.”
J.R.R. Tolkien specifically forbade Disney from ever being involved in any movie adaptations
When J.R.R. Tolkien sold the movie rights to his Lord of the Rings universe, one of the specific stipulations of the deal was that Disney (an organization he had very strong feelings about) would never be involved in the adaptation process.

Charles Blow, NYT: "Trumpism is a religion founded on patriarchy and white supremacy"
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/11/opinion/trump-immigration-white-supremacy.htmlIt is the belief that even the least qualified man is a better choice than the most qualified woman and a belief that the most vile, anti-intellectual, scandal-plagued simpleton of a white man is sufficient to follow in the presidential footsteps of the best educated, most eloquent, most affable black man.
As President Lyndon B. Johnson said in the 1960s to a young Bill Moyers: “If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”
Trump’s supporters are saying to us, screaming to us, that although he may be the “lowest white man,” he is still better than Barack Obama, the “best colored man.”
