    I don’t understand guys, i said all the crazy ass nonsensical stuff and somehow it didn’t work in a court of law. Was it not crazy enough? Should I ask for a Klingon translator?

      Ah, but the judge kept interrupting them so they couldn’t recite the magic law incantation correctly.
      What they need to do is put an injunction on the judge. That way the judge can’t interrupt you until you finish your statement.

      That is the galaxy brain play.

    Does anyone have any recordings of these things? Because I want to hear how loud a judge can sigh.

      Tons of videos on YouTube. Weird, but I have yet to see one where the judge straight tells them they’ve been scammed and the sov cit stuff is bullshit.

      These judges are amazingly patient. Some seem genuinely puzzled, like they’ve never run across these people. Others can tell what’s going on, but never straight call their bullshit.

        Judges don’t WANT to ruin your life, they mostly want to just have a nice easy day at work, just like the rest of us.

        They know they’re going to have to deal with those dingbats over and over, so it’s in their best interest to get them to understand that it’s not going to work, and to get a lawyer. Cause then it’s mostly someone else’s problem getting them to understand how to behave.

    “anty help will be excepted”

    Why am I not surprised that any real help they’re given will definitely have exceptions raised.

    So this person wants to appeal his not guilty plea.
    Interesting tactic. I wonder how that will go.

    It’s like a socio-economic version of Darwinism - not sure about you folks, but I’ve got the popcorn out and am enjoying the show.

        Have you ever seen the “gangstalking” people? Those people are mentally ill. Being stupid and gullible and falling for magical thinking isn’t a mental illness. Sure, I guarantee some of the people who love sovcit nonsense have some deficiencies, but I would imagine less than 5% are genuinely mentally ill.

        Social media and the echo chambers and selective information bubbles are a powerful force that I don’t think we’ve fully comprehended the scale of quite yet. Maybe after the world dies a heat death and a new evolutionary step in humanity will figure out a way to plug in all the old laptops and boot up the internet and they’ll be the ones that eventually understand it.

          Also don’t forget, there are a LOT of humans, and that means there are a lot of people in the bottom 0.01% of intelligence

          i’d wager individuals who suffered a TBI mid-late in life are an over-represented demographic in the sovcit community.
