"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?
"... 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.
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.
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.
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.
Like flies on shit
I call for John Schneider to be institutionalized.
An opinion that’s every bit as relevant as the person expressing it.
If Kathy Griffith got a visit, so should he.
Ok he’s entitled to not LIKING Biden or his son, that’s fine. But I have several problems with this statement.
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.
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 …..
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.
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?
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.
So will the feds hound Schneider like they did Kathy Griffin?
Conservatives sure do live their washed up b-list actors.
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.
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 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.
TIL the dad from Smallville was played by a comic book villain.
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.
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!
"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."
The Balladeer: "Looks like Luke is in a heep of trouble. Tune in next week when..."
fifteen FBI and Secret Service Agents unload one hundred rounds into his car
Bo Duke nooo, what happened to you?
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?
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....
" I have $100 for whoever knocks that loudmouth son of a bitch out."
