"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.

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.

Is this not 'I want to kill the president of the United States' level shit that is straight up illegal?

[–] CosmicTurtle@lemmy.world 22 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Yup. He's going to get a visit from the Secret Service if not his local sheriff very shortly.

[–] MasterBlaster@links.hackliberty.org 25 points 10 months ago

If the sheriff responds, it’ll be for an autograph.

[–] NounsAndWords@lemmy.world 58 points 10 months ago (2 children)

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.

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!

[–] BassaForte@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Has Trump even once mentioned Jesus?

Ok he’s entitled to not LIKING Biden or his son, that’s fine. But I have several problems with this statement.

  1. 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.

  1. 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 …..

  1. 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.

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.

[–] Rusticus@lemmy.world 30 points 10 months ago

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?...

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 19 points 10 months ago (4 children)

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.

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?

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.

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?
