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.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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.

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.

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 10 months ago

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

I call for John Schneider to be institutionalized.

If Kathy Griffith got a visit, so should he.

[–] [email protected] 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!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Has Trump even once mentioned Jesus?

[–] [email protected] 32 points 10 months ago (2 children)

He held the Bible upside down once.

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.

[–] [email protected] 31 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?...

[–] [email protected] 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.

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!

It's a damn shame. He played such a convincing "reasonable guy" in smallville.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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?
