    This week in Kettle Logic: 1) He didn't say that. 2) If he did say it, Dems shouldn't have repeated it 3) He said shithouse, not shithole. 4) What's wrong with calling those countries shitholes? 5) Obama once used the word shit.

        I assumed the reference was to pot vs kettle / tu quoque argument? (Nobody dares make the boiling frog argument anymore, lest James Fallows put them on his list)

        More importantly, the expletive used doesn't matter. It's the fact that he didn't want black immigrants, & wanted white Norwegians instead

        Also 6) we're proud he said it, the base love it. And keeping in mind that these are six largely simultaneous responses, for the most part it's not a progression or series.

        Another thing we learned: any and all defenses of the man from his supporters are ultimately bad faith arguments: "There's no crack tape" > "You can fake those things" > "You can't prove that's crack he's smoking" > "So what if it's crack?"

        It's been hilarious watching Trump factions split between outright denial and simply not caring if he said it or not.
