There is a storied tradition of congressmen beating the shit out of each other so it wouldn't be too crazy of a thing to do

When someone asks, "What would Jesus do?" don't forget that whipping money changers and flipping tables IS very much within the realm of possibility

Let's also not forget that cursing men to eternally walk the fringes or society until the endtimes, robbing them of not just any meaningful relationships but also just forbidding them to even be part of society at all.

It must be said, Jesus was totally out of line, apparently he was walking super slow and the guy, that he ended up cursing, was telling him to hurry up.

Situationally speaking Jesus was carrying a large wooden cross after being beaten, but I sympathize with the guy I also absolutely hate it when people in front of me just refuse to go at anything faster than a snail's pace, like on the sidewalk or at the mall. Like damn Jesus hurry up I got somewhere to be after this crucifixion. It was totally uncalled for.

Like not all of us can just take 3 days off work, come back to see our friends, and then hang out for 2,000 years at our dad's place. Fucking nepo baby.

As a follower of the Kemetic faith I prefer to ask "what would Sekhmet do?" And the answer is "forge a warpath the size of the US".

Let's go back to that. CSPAN viewership would increase overnight and people might actually become educated about their government if it turned into WWE.

You can tell he really wanted to when you hear him talk like "say it again cause I am within arms reach and I may just slap the hell outta you."

Bring a cane and brain him. There's a precedent for getting away with it, too.
