John Schneider (Dukes of Hazard, Smallville) calls for Joe Biden to be executed

"This man has got to face his maker and explain why he can't say 'Jesus Christ' is my Lord and savior and I will run my country under his guidelines," he said during a Newsmax interview at the time.
This line sent shivers down my spine. Fucking religious zealots.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"
How about this for a reason?
- Because they want to control people. Religion has always existed to control the masses and the GOP is more desperate than ever before to maintain their control over their dwindling voters.
  They want a dictatorship and religion is just another means for them to seize it.
- "... my country ..."
  That's what caught my eye.
  
  Conservatives have always wanted the president to be their daddy and rule over them like their daddies did when they were kids.
- Just to make it crystal clear, a Christian who is being inaugurated as President will swear a solemn oath, almost certainly with their hand on the Bible, to defend the Constitution.
  Joe Biden, like every President before him, including Trump, swore a solemn oath not to do what John Schneider is insisting upon.
  If a President elect believed what Schneider is suggesting, he would either be unable to take the oath of office, and thus could not ever be President, or he would swear to God that he was telling the truth when he was lying.
  
  Agreed. John is clearly expressing himself in hyperbolic, perhaps he's frustrated about something?
- Because the nutjobs see it as congress can't stop them from doing anything, not that congress also can't support them.
- Also because biden is Catholic and the pope would probably be mad at him making a nuclear armed theocracy

I always enjoy the nebulous “treason” accusation. At least when I call Donnie a traitor I have a concrete list of grievances instead of a dozen inferences and leaps in logic.
- Yeah. Trump and his direct supporters engaged and were filmed engaging in actual insurrection. They made a gallows and had people with ziptie cuffs in masks roaming around the capital.
  These asshats are just trying to water down the word because they know they fit the description too well.
  
  They're trying to water down the word so they can invoke the 14th Amendment against Democrats who hurt their feelings. Texas threatening to remove Biden from the ballots is only the beginning of that particular shitshow.
- clicks "1 more reply"
  sees nothing
  
  Someone from an instance you're not federated with may have replied
  
  Besides federation issues this happened to me when I deleted my comment and it was always shown as one more reply fold. But maybe on newer version this displays as a comment was deleted

Well kids, gather 'round and let me tell you about the before times. Back in my day the Secret Service would be on this guy like white on rice.
- Yeah but he's a white Christian male. Laws don't apply to them.
  
  You're missing my point. Threats against the President of the United States used to be investigated. Every. One.
  Hell, my gf wrote some shit about killing Reagan in her journal or essay or whatever. Forgot how it got out 35 years ago, don't remember. USSS showed up to question a cute little white girl. A high school junior. From a very nice suburb.
  Nobody got a pass on shit like that.
- Like flies on shit
- they still do. this guy didn't say he intended to do anything though, which is a pretty big difference

Secret service used to take stuff like this more seriously
- They did! Now we shamefully have a criminal on the Republican party ticket. All has changed for the worse quickly.
- When the calls for terrorist attacks come from anarchists VS when the calls for terrorist attacks come from fascists
  
  When the call is coming from inside the (white) house...
  (Edit: to be clear, back in 2020)

Is this not 'I want to kill the president of the United States' level shit that is straight up illegal?
- Yup. He's going to get a visit from the Secret Service if not his local sheriff very shortly.
  
  If the sheriff responds, it’ll be for an autograph.
  
  Doubt
  
  No, he won't. He's a conservative.

I call for John Schneider to be institutionalized.

If Kathy Griffith got a visit, so should he.

Recently unveiled as the Donut on reality show The Masked Singer, Schneider took to X, formerly Twitter, to share his violent views.
This is our nation's current political discourse in a (do)nutshell.
- I'm glad washed up celebs are telling me their politics. Its what I needed in this close race /s
- I feel more satisfied with my decision to quit that show.

So will the feds hound Schneider like they did Kathy Griffin?

In 2022, he criticized the president for not saying "Jesus" in his Christmas speech.
Because, and Trump has a similar problem with understanding this extremely simple fact: THIS ISN'T A FUCKING CHRISTIAN COUNTRY!
- Has Trump even once mentioned Jesus?
  
  He held the Bible upside down once.
  
  Yes but he was referring to his undocumented gardener.
  
  He does in the most pandering way possible.
  Which makes this totally unsurprising: https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2020/03/25/most-americans-dont-see-trump-as-religious/
  Not only do most Americans not see him as religious, significantly less than half even think he's a Christian.

An opinion that’s every bit as relevant as the person expressing it.

Ok he’s entitled to not LIKING Biden or his son, that’s fine. But I have several problems with this statement.
Calling for him to be hanged for treason.
Ok what exactly has he done that’s so treasonous? Did he call for elections to be overthrown? Did he call for people to storm the Capitol? Did he likely trade/give foreign governments top secret materials? No? Well I know someone who did so shut the fuck up. On that note, I despise Trump but I don’t want him hanged. That would just turn him into a martyr. Will I be upset when he dies from eating too many hamberders? Nope, not in the slightest. Do I wish to see him stripped of his power and wealth and then thrown into jail? Hell fucking yes I do.
Doing this accusation so publicly.
Ok not only is threatening a president against the law (which I’m not entirely sure that’s what he did) it’s just plain dumb being a public figure. Not that he’s currently producing/acting but I’ll never even consider anything he makes or produces. It’s better for people to think you’re an idiot than open your mouth and remove all doubt. Cough cough Roseanne …..
Expecting people to not be upset at stupid shit you say to get attention.
I have no words. This just proves how irrelevant you now are. Now I can’t even look back fondly of a show I very much enjoyed as a kid.
Great job Bo. You’re an idiot.
- Totally agree, #3 specially.
  Another childhood hero goes...

Conservatives sure do live their washed up b-list actors.
- And their b list washed up gods

What did you expect from the guy who drove this?
- I used to think it was just a southern pride flag, but I've since learned the modern meaning of it. As someone who grew up watching Dukes of Hazzard, my dream car is now a bright orange 69 Charger with the American flag on it, dubbed the "General Sherman".
  
  And every year you'll take a road trip in it from Atlanta to Savannah.

I hope in the future the Smallville wiki is just a list of the bizarre reasons its Alumni went to jail. So far we have NXVM cult leader Allison Mack, Drug Dealer-Sam Jones III, and hopefully in the near future - Terroristic Threats - John Schneider.

What the fuck is wrong with people? The whole world has gone insane.
- "I don't want to live on this planet anymore" saying is appropriate

Everyone should listen to Biden on Conan OBrien’s podcast. He’s old but not demented. He’s the president we need but don’t deserve.

Isn't threatening to kill a sitting president like terrorism or something?...
- He didn't say he would do it. He said he should be hung. Which was legal at one point. And is also the impression that would be done by the public.
  So he didn't really directly threaten him. At least that is what he will say. And technically he's right. But we all know better if we read between the lines.
  
  Stochastic terrorism is the tactic of cowardly terrorist. He's signaling to morons to do his bidding.
  
  Ah okay, so he's a fucking coward. 💯

This is your brain on Fox News, kids

Their little dog whistles are getting more and more obvious. Someone should maybe do something about that. Like, oh… I don’t know-
Maybe lock these treasonous dipshits up for threatening the president?
- I don't think that was a dog whistle.
  
  I red it as a call to assassination. This is how they speak to one another now.

Does he also want Trump to be hanged for treason after being involved in an attempted coup against the united states? I'm guessing no.

What if it turns out Lex Luthor was the good guy on Smallville?
- Fuck this extremist MAGA actor, but no; I will not be rooting for any billionaire.
- Looking more and more like it as time goes on.

Celebrity calls for execution but unlikely to want to face charges based upon the same precedent that he wants to set! He would be executed himself!

Bo Duke nooo, what happened to you?
- Boomer Duke now.
  
  How does this make him a boomer?
  Edit: let me rephrase, how does him being a boomer have anything to do with this.
- He's been MAGAted?
  
  It's a damn shame. He played such a convincing "reasonable guy" in smallville.
- We're talking about a guy who got his big break driving around in a Dodge Charger with a big old rebel flag on it that's called the General Lee and anyone's surprised that he turned out to be a MAGA traitor?
  
  I loved the show. I loved the car. I am so far removed from the MAGATs. I think they are complete fools and are being duped by the rich because they are gullible.
  An actor can protray someone who is ignorant. To believe it is a choice. A stupid choice by an ignorant person, but still a choice.

He should have listened to himself in Smallville 😞

TIL the dad from Smallville was played by a comic book villain.

The Balladeer: "Looks like Luke is in a heap of trouble. Tune in next week when..."
fifteen FBI and Secret Service Agents unload one hundred rounds into his car

its always the ones you most suspect.

He's making his way, the only way he knows how! But that's just a little bit more than the law will allow....

And why should I care what this clown says?

"Mr. Schneider, we're from the FBI. We're going to need you to spread your cheeks, and lift your sack. But first, we want you to put these Daisy Dukes on."

Let's get Ja Rule on the horn.
- I'm just going to throw this out there, I think Ja would have a better informed and more reasonable take on the situation than this guy.

What did Mel Gibson think of this?

That's... checks notes insane.
- Well isn't that some chaotic thinking

" I have $100 for whoever knocks that loudmouth son of a removed out."

Get these fucking mentally ill degenerates out of public life.

God damnit. There goes one of my favorite shows from when I was a teenager.
- Assuming you are going with Smallville. Because if this is what broke you on Dukes of Hazzard, I have some bad news for you about the car.

"Just here for the ratio and to let you know that it's "hanged," not "hung."
I guess the guy is only commenting on the Biden bloodline carrying good genes for big dicks. Or he's just a big dick himself.

Who cares? I don't..
- Maybe we should carve a swastika into Schneider’s forehead..
  
  Seems like a good plan to me.
  Edit: Jokes aside I believe the surge of christofascism into the American elite it's concerning.
  I hope it didn't get extended too much to another parts of the globe.
