I doubt it means anything outside of my own political battles but...
My roommate (future ex-husband) who is a registered Democrat but who has gotten angry and yelled at me every single time I've brought up political news, specifically Republicans, more specifically Trump, and "that damned woman" - don't get me started.
Today he called me into his room and informed me that Trump was insane. Mentally ill. "He's the President of the United States and he called a woman horse face!" He was livid.
The squatter went too far for him. Finally. By calling a woman horse face.

(297,935 posts)your roommate was sucked in by Lies and apparently didn't want to hear it about who trump is. And, NOW because once again trump has hoisted himself on his own Petard with his big damn tweety mouth.. he lost one.
Hopefully there're many others who have had their own straw that broke the camel's back come to reality moment.

I have to remember there is hope on days when I feel defeated.

(2,600 posts)"Horseface"? Jeebus, if the implication that tRump may have been in on the assassination plot on Kashoggi at the embassy in Turkey where his dead body was probably dismembered with a bone saw isn't enough to make someone turn their back on Shitler, nothing will. This isn't the first time he's called a woman a horseface. That seems pretty lame after all the other truly horrid things he's said and done over the past three or four years.

(58,785 posts)focusing on a small and easily understood slur to avoid thinking about his own previous acceptance of Trump's genuinely evil deeds?
Whatever. Agree it doesn't exactly sound as principled as the awakening of a young former Trump voter who said she cares about both the lives of babies on the border and babies in the womb.

(14,178 posts)After all the names and insults and bragging about abusing women, The ""blood coming out of her wherever" comment, the comments about dating a 12 year old one day, the lusting after his own daughter, the "I can grab em by the p**** because I'm such a big star", the multiple sexual abuse charges by women, the payoff to a porn star, an affair he had while Melania was pregnant......
....none of those things changed your mind, but "horseface" comment to a porn star, really?
Whatever, I agree whatever works. But jeez. Maybe its just the straw that broke the camels back.
