Calling for an 11 year old boy to be sodomised as a revenge on his father. Doesn’t matter what you think of Trump’s policies. You don’t start calling for horrific child abuse to make a political point. I hope the Secret Service interview with Fonda was very, very, intimidating and put the fear of God and federal prosecution into his abominable head. > **[US Secret Service alerted over Peter Fonda's tweets about Barron Trump](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/peter-fonda-barron-trump-twitter-us-secret-service-paedophiles-melania-a8409926.html)** > > The veteran actor later apologised and deleted the posts  ---

Do you feel as strongly about Trump and the GOP, who are actually DOING it? I’m not disputing that this was something that was over the line and shouldn’t have been said, just that the anger seems misdirected. ---

Perhaps he’s able to be angry at more than one thing at a time. Most of us are. The article calls DJ Trump, Jr his uncle. Isn’t he his brother? ---

It was dickish and out of line and certainly not helping the cause…but ‘I wish’ and ‘somebody should’ are not actual threats so the SS should do absolutely nothing. ---

Should they all be intimidated by law enforcement? Only the ones [that break laws](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threatening_the_President_of_the_United_States).

The fish rots from the head. Trump has utterly trashed the level of discourse in the United States. Fonda should say he’s sorry. ---

A major reason the world is repelled and disgusted by Trump’s child-separation policy at the southern border is that it punishes the _children_ for what their _parents_ have done.\* Most people find that idea to be repugnant. Fonda fell into the trap of being as deplorable as Trump: no easy accomplishment. I do hope he’ll apologize. \*Seeking asylum is not illegal and neither the parents nor the children deserve to be punished for it, let alone have such cruelty visited upon them. But the point remains: Trump is punishing the kids for what the parents have done. ---

> [@John\_Mace](#): > > Perhaps he’s able to be angry at more than one thing at a time. Most of us are. > > The article calls DJ Trump, Jr his uncle. Isn’t he his brother? Half brother, I guess? The article also has _Ulee’s Gold_ dated 1977, when it was 1997. The real problem is that Trump is a sick fuck and it upsets people. If Trump wasn’t acting in monstrous fashion, some crazy old fuck like Fonda wouldn’t have said those terrible things. It’s a chicken and egg problem. Or, in other words, who gives a shit? ---

I cursor-hovered over the link to see these words in a row: peter-fonda-barron-trump-twitter-us-secret service-paedophiles-melania It’s been a long time since I’ve seen all those words in a row. Anyway, leave Barron out of it. I admonish Fonda accordingly. ---
