John Schneider Probe Opened By Secret Service After'Dukes Of Hazzard' Star Urges Public Hanging Of Joe Biden

https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/john-schneider-probe-opened-secret-224647893.html

Hours 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.

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.

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 won’t 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.

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!!

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

"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.

With that shoddy attempt at a gallows. Whoever they tried to hang would have been hurt more from the whole edifice falling down on them than from the noose around their neck.

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

47. New Hampshire Man Indicted for Threatening to Kill Three Presidential Candidates
Thu Dec 21, 2023, 09:54 PM
Dec 2023

Oh Rob! Are you listening?
Went to see if the DOJ website is back to normal. It is, and I found this gem.

https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/new-hampshire-man-indicted-threatening-kill-three-presidential-candidates

“We have seen an increase in threats of violence against public officials and those seeking public office across the country, and I have made clear that these types of illegal threats undermine the function of our democracy,” said Attorney General Merrick B. Garland. “We will not tolerate illegal threats of violence directed at public officials or those seeking public office.”

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.

A 2006 film, but so relevant today.

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!
