You could try copy and pasting jquery into the developer console for a one-time trick. If a dependency needs jquery to load, try setting a break point before that script and paste jquery into your console.
Perhaps you could put it on your own server, then redirect all calls to Google's CDN to your own server? This way it works automatically for you. You could also add files and CDN's to your setup as necessary.

Almost every website that loads jQuery from Google breaks down when I refuse to connect to Google's CDN.
Does anyone know how I can load jQuery locally?

Put it on your server as a regular file. Update your script references to point to the file.
