Peter Fonda tweets he wants to 'rip Barron Trump from his mother' and put him in a 'cage with pedoph

Color me cynical, but Fonda has a movie coming out in a few days. Timing is everything, isn't it?

Not at all. The law states that children cannot be held in a detention center fir mire than 20 days. No doubt the Trump Admin will be sued by the end of July.

No the law said that they could not be detained with their parents for more than 20 days.
now he just signed an EO that runs afoul of the law because he doens't have the power to do it.

I am sure lawsuits are already brewing.

now they are trying to pass a bill to keep the kids detained with their parents for an unlimited amount of time.

depends on how serious the SS gets with him.

they take threats to the first family very seriously more so when it comes to the kids.

He threatened a Cabinet member with violence. That is only "foul-mouthed and uncouth" to you?

The rest of my post you edited out:


Peter Fonda was foul-mouthed and uncouth.

Trump split up thousands of families, and hundreds of children will never be united with their parents as they are lost within the foster care system.

Precisely which of these am I expected to find more offensive?
 
I find things silly, some of the very people foaming at the mouth over "grab them by the *****" said 10+ years ago seemingly have little problems with wishing an innocent child be caged with pedophiles (implying they hope the child is raped).

This kind of rhetoric and sick and inexcusable. But you know, so long as it's said against Trump's family I guess it gets a pass. Trump derangement syndrome is one helluvah disease.

Well, all we have to do is wait an arbitrary amount of time and what Peter said will be okay too.

Any chance of that movie making money went bye bye the minute Pete hit "submit" on his Tweets.
 
Another liberal kills their own career..

I know I am in the minority, but what Fonda tweeted was much worse than what Roseanne tweeted, but he will not be stripped of anything.

I'm sure you feeling like you are victim now because some nitwit in hollywood said something... but maybe, just maybe we on the left should take trumpanzee approach to things towards your folk whose comments and actions actually DO effect peoples' lives.

Please note what the thread is about. You are very capable to start one if you like.
I hope you are not supporting someone who wants to turn a 12 year old to a pedophile?

Liberals in the media are typically not held to similar standards or given the same amount of outrage compared to when conservatives say controversial things.

He'll "apologize" half heartedly or in a passive aggressive way, go back to hating on the president, and still keep his job.

You're discounting, I'm afraid, people buying tickets in solidarity with him.

I hope I'm wrong.

Take note, Trumpettes. Trump detractors are perfectly capable of calling out the bad behaviors of those that call out Trump and his policies when those people call out Trump in a classless manner. I too think this was a rather dumb Tweet by Fonda. His point is lost in his classless delivery.

It would be really nice to see some Trump supporters call out Trump when he is obviously wrong or otherwise conducting himself in a classless matter. Sort of like "hate the sin; love the sinner"

Showing a bit of allegiance for American values, decorum and civility would go a long way to convince the rest of us that Trump supporters are not all in the cult. Pushing back on Trump when he behaves badly, letting him know he is out of line, might also help him to clean up his act (yes, wishful thinking).

No only some of them are. If you doubt me simply read some of Cardinal's parts in this thread. He is doing nothing but making excuses for fonda.
 
Peter Fonda is as much a bitter angry hate filled mindless **** as any of the other leftists.

The left is in a state of hysteria right now so anything is possible. But Trump is like truth serum to the left. He doesnt bring out the worst in them, he brings out the real them. The infected have come to believe their own hyperbole: Trump really is Hitler and everyone around him are former guards at Auschwitz. So their hate is real. In fact it is all they have.

As liberal as I am, and as much a fan of Peter Fonda as I am, I'm afraid to say this but this is a Peter Fonda moment equivalent to Hanoi Jane's moment atop that NVA tank.
And it's going to backfire on him the same way that Hanoi Jane's moment backfired on her.

All that having been said, it should not be lost on all of you angry and outraged Trump fans that, in essence, Peter Fonda is asking "How would YOU like it if (XXXXXX) was happening to you instead?"
There was a time not too long ago when a woman of Melania's age with child, in her country, might have been forced to make a Sophie's Choice, and the fact is, what we have happening right now really IS a whole lot of Sophie's Choices.
It looks BAD because it IS BAD, it's terrible.

Peter Fonda has a lot of difficulty expressing himself in 140 characters or less. Twitter is a blunt little tool and using it for something like this is inherently dangerous. Using Twitter to express thoughts on anything beyond promoting your new music video is dangerous.
Our problems generally do not fit in 140 characters.
That's why I do not use Twitter.

Maybe Peter Fonda should have just asked: "Hey Melania, how would you like it if this was happening to you and Barron instead?"

Of course, I'm sure the Right probably still would have been outraged anyway. ;)
They're snowflakes like that. ;)

**** Fonda and what he said. I couldn't care less what his opinions are. And the right doesn't care what hollywooders say all the time until they can fly a victim flag about it.

Is that what it is huh? It's a liberal vs conservative thing in the media... not that it's a hollywood pissant vs a politician passing laws effecting our lives. :roll:
