This stuff is the absolute epitome of arrested development. A self-sovereign mind, unable to understand even the concept of social systems or to see further than the boundaries of one’s own skull.
Trump, it probably goes without saying, is the ne plus ultra of this reductive nonsense, which is why they love him.
Dude… newsflash;
YOU’RE NOT WHITE - therefore, THAT PRIVILEGED DELUSIONAL SHIT WON’T WORK FOR YOU.
I think we know how it’ll go for him if he insists on only organic food in jail.
Even Jesus was subject to secular laws. That’s how he was freaking CRUCIFIED.
Judas is as Judas does.
So, is James Beeks a member of this group?
Howell said, “is typically not released pre-trial,” though the judge eventually released Beeks on GPS monitoring
um… WTF?
There’s nothing more on brand for Judas than being a capital rioter.
Not like he’s at any serious risk; but I doubt he’d like any of the methods that the courts have of…transferring…inmates to divine jurisdiction. They certainly draw a lot of 8th amendment flak.
Something tells me that going with the “you’re not the boss of me” defense in court is not going to be effective…
Wait, he’s asserting “divine authority” on the grounds that he’s … Judas?
I think he might need to do some background reading, because last time I looked Judas wasn’t exactly flavor of the week with the celestial hierarchy.
For those who call Trump divinely appointed, I agree. God used Trump as a test. The religious people who elevate Trump are obviously more interested in wealth and power rather than following the example of Jesus who would be more interested in helping the poor and disadvantaged.
