“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.
a reason many of them are christians, too.
Certain conservative men will visit prostitutes, and claim to stand for family values, which is laughable but if you do good at mental gymnastics you could always say that you’re ready to change because you now believe in “insert conservative shit” here, or bad experiences etc.
But if you asked me, you’re better off believing that anarchy is the natural order and everything from government to the police force, including your own circumstances is based off a mix of luck, non compliance, misunderstandings and merit rather than any conservativism.
Just consider that even if you believe in “planned parenthood” technically a lot of accidents had to have happened for both Usain Bolt and for you to be born, nobody’s life was planned out when while you were being pushed out the end of your mothers pussy.
The scary part is that there’s arguably hundreds of mini accidental Usain Bolts which you’re competing with every day, even if you’re one of them that was planned
I’m 14 and this is deep.
No your mum
Conservatives are authoritarian always, many of them wouldn’t blink at reestablishing the monarchy, so long as a certain orange individual and his line of bastards were in power
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.

Someone from an instance you’re not federated with may have replied
TIL
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.
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.
His favorite book. There are a lot of good stories in there. He won’t tell you about any of them because it’s personal.
Gasp. Absolute Satanism
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?
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.
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.
