I assume he means "publicly hung" without trial. A lynching. Like the one the January 6th mob wanted to provide Mike Pence. But he - Schneider - may even be delusional enough to think that charges of treason would stick to the president on some ground of other under the nation's constitution and laws as they now stand. No telling what actually goes on in the seething nest of alien parasitic worms this joker appears to use for a brain. But it's clear enough that he's encouraging the assassination of the president. If Secret Service men don't pay him a visit they are delinquent in their jobs.

No need to hate on alien parasitic worms, they might actually have some usefulness in the multiverse somewhere, not so for John Schneider (except as an alien parasitic worm conveyance perhaps).

I'm shocked, I mean that, and I wasn't even aware this guy existed.

Schneider had an actual country music career, somehow. With such thoughtful titles as “Too Good to Stop Now,” “Tryin’ to Outrun the Wind,” “Hell, This Ain’t Heaven,” and “You Ain’t Seen the Last of Me,” his timeless albums adorn the finest yard sales and thrift stores. Pity his freaky donut man gig didn’t reignite his career. But you know what they say about chasing your dreams and coming in 2nd place, threaten the potus with a public lynching. There’s obviously no sense sorting out Schneider’s ranting, where he tried to walk back his “death by hanging” verdict for “treason” by more gently suggesting “some of our nations leaders in Washington have lost their way, and corruption runs rampant, both on our nation’s borders and abroad.” So he softened his approach, but still makes no sense at all. Corruption runs rampant “on our nations borders and abroad,” is just nonsensical hyper-nationalism babble. But his endorsement for the extrajudicial hanging of a sitting potus is incredibly dangerous, and only increases the risk of political violence. I’m certain he’s sorry he posted his hateful remarks, because he’s facing the consequences now.

"It was just a joke!"

Entering the mid point i.e. cover his ass stage before the find out portion happens. I think he said hung to try to get away with making actual threats.

"Citing anonymous sources close to the matter, Deadline reported later Thursday that the Secret Service – the agency tasked with protecting presidents and their families – had opened a preliminary investigation into Schneider."

"Seriously, folks?” said Schneider to Deadline today in the second of two statements on his Biden remarks. “This is my final comment on this. I neither said nor implied any such thing. Despite headlines claiming otherwise, in my post, I absolutely did not call for an act of violence or threaten a U.S. president as many other celebrities have done in the past. I suggest you re-read my actual post and pay attention to the words before believing this nonsense.”"

DUMB ASS, once it is on the Internet it is preserved forever, so denying what you said won't wash and just displays that you don't have the courage to stand by your words, you are a pipsqueak and should be pointedly ignored for the rest of your pointless,ugly life

The very thoughtful post on Xitter has been deleted, by pressure from da libz we betcha. John Schneider was just freedoming and look what happened! He shoulda posted on a platform where bro billionaires protect free speeches!

Fine, but what does Tom Wopat think of this administration? Everyone knows he’s the one what got all the brains in the Duke family.

Wopat has changed lanes to music theater, singing Sondheim and Kander & Ebb, so he's probably at least OK with Biden:

Have to disagree with you one thing: the whole “branding other women as her slaves” thing still puts the NXIVM lady ahead.

As a Smallville fan I absolutely agree. She seemed so nice and cute but was a big enough dumbass to go this route. I was horrified by her and extremely sorry she got out of jail a bit too early.

Let them fall into the "horror"* that is a regular life.

("horror" is the way most entertainment columns and magazines seem to imply a regular life is.

As a regular life person, I must admit I think I have had a good enough, easy enough life.

A couple of my nieces and nephews, as well as my sibs, have had some tougher times than I have had and they think that their lives are good too. )

I try not to assume actors are like the characters they play. She got sucked into the cult but then moved up to becoming one of Raniere’s accomplices.

"accused President Biden of not loving Israel enough"

If anything Biden has been loving Israel a bit too much than is healthy (though it remains to be seen how loving Israel is anything healthy).

As for the response to his tweet? Mine would be to tell him to go back to sucking his God Emperor's tiny dick because quite apparently he hasn't done it enough yet.

Expand full comment

The whole thing has put Biden in a no-win situation. If he doesn’t support Israel unquestionably, he alienates one faction of his party. If he doesn’t call for restraint and a cease fire, he alienates the other faction.

Yeah, the pro-Israel lobby is quite unhealthy for American politics it seems.

I wish we could transport both Hamas and Bibi’s government to some remote island where they can fight it out between them and let the civilians live in peace.

Or introduce Thorazine into the water supply. On both sides.

I believe it was W. C. Fields who suggested the leaders of warring factions meet in a stadium and fight each other with sacks filled with horse manure.

Is that nutjob Victoria Jackson on the poster? Also, that unfunny guy who played Goat Boy on SNL?

Jim Breuer. He was unfunny, and his claim to fame was playing a bleating goat. He is indeed staring in the wingnut comedy “Jingle Smells.” He’s finally made it.

The title alone is pathetic 2nd grade humor, there can't possibly be anything in the movie itself worth an adult's attention, not even to make fun of it. Too low to kick, too wet to stamp on.

A coworker told me that some of the southern boys he served with were "in favor of digging up Lincoln so they could shoot him again". This would have been late 70s/early 80s.
