https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/john-schneider-probe-opened-secret-224647893.htmlHours after publicly coming up short in the Season 10 finale of The Masked Singer, vocal conservative Schneider called for the execution by hanging of the treason guilty president and his indicted offspring. In a now deleted post (yep, he erased it pretty fast), the longtime Biden critic and Smallville actor made no secret of his belief a Donald trump critiquing POTUS should be dead as a screen grab of that now delated post on X/Twitter reveals.

(55,334 posts)You're seeing the sociology of how hermitism leads to fanaticism, with everyone in the conclave angling to express the most extreme version of their cult identity. It happens with lefties, street gangs, Muslim theology schools, communist underground groups, modern art galleries, and beer guzzling rugby teams.
A descent into any deviant subculture that becomes a closed system quickly decomposes into an extremism factory. And it's not like he's the first actor from Smallville to descend into a cult organization.

(998 posts)Plus a recurring theme in these public breakdowns is this pathological obsession with the border and fears that illegal aliens are invading our country.
Trump got elected in 2016 exploiting those fears. The delusion that illegal immigration is the source of all our problems and building a wall along the southern border is the only solution.
If American democracy goes under the "fear of the other" is going to be the root cause.

He wont be charged. Saying someone should get the death penalty is not a crime or a threat. He knew not to say he would take any part in it.

Of course twitter was just as fast to remind him his post is forever.

(3,363 posts)John Schneider has been very public on social media about her passing and his grief. I just hope he doesn't use her death as a scapegoat to get out of this.
Who else remembers that another Dukes cast member went on to become a congressman? That was Ben Jones, who played Cooter the mechanic. He was/is a Democrat!!

(3,363 posts)What I meant to say was I hope he doesn't use his grief over her loss to say what he did about POTUS. I guess I didn't phrase it very well.

(17,802 posts)The ss will investigate these with an interview, but they will usually close the case just as quickly if they determine there is no threat.
They aren't trying to keep people from being idiots; they are protecting the president.
And they are spread thin compared to the idiocy that is out there.
So they will ask him some questions, get him to have a lawyer present ($$$), and convince him to stfu.
Now if they find he has a house full of machine guns and explosives, and a network of assasins, well, then things will move along.
But don't get your hopes up. Nothing much will come of this methinks

(4,507 posts)"Officially, the White House and the Secret Service, which falls under the jurisdiction of the Department of Homeland Security, are saying nothing on any investigation of Schneider. However, sources close to events confirm a probe is in the preliminary stage."
In other words....
"Officially, they're thinking about maybe considering whether or not to begin contemplating a possible preliminary stage and what that might possibly perhaps mean, according to unnamed sources utilizing tarot cards and tea leaves."
I hated that stupid show.

It was a political hack attempt at performative art. In bad taste, I grant you, but not a serious gallows.

https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/new-hampshire-man-indicted-threatening-kill-three-presidential-candidates
According to the charging documents, Anderson sent a series of threatening text messages to three separate presidential campaigns going back to November. On Nov. 22, Anderson threatened to impale and disembowel one candidate. On Dec. 6, Anderson threatened a second candidate in a series of text messages, including that he would blow the "head off" of the candidate and conduct a mass shooting. On Dec. 8, Anderson threatened via text message that he would blow the brains out of a third candidate and kill everyone who would attend a then-upcoming campaign event.
Anderson faces a maximum of five years in prison, up to three years of supervised release, and a fine of up to $250,000 for each charge. A federal district court judge will determine a sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

Just CGI Trump into any scene where President Camacho appears, and it will - maybe - get the message across that America is under threat from . . . stupidity.
Terry Crews - Pres Camancho - must have been clairvoyant. Just acted like a future Trump!
