FBI Director Kash Patel on Friday said federal agents arrested a Wisconsin judge on obstruction charges in a message Patel posted on X and later deleted. In the post, which Reuters saw before it was deleted, Patel said there was evidence of the judge "obstructing an immigration arrest operation last week."

A spokesperson for the U.S. Marshals Service said Hannah Dugan, a Milwaukee County circuit judge, was arrested at a courthouse this morning.

I have to admit, of all the shit things I've seen happening, arresting judges for following the law, is now in a battle with kidnapping people and sending them to camps for the top spot of my list of when do we violently riot.

Call me a cynic, but my over/under list is:

When they come for you

They come for a beloved member of your family (not the despised ones)
~~Some of your friends disappear~~
~~Mass deportation of "undesirables"~~
~~Opposition members get killed~~
~~Martial Law gets invoked~~
~~Judges get arrested~~
~~People sent to concentration camps~~
~~People incarcerated without due process~~

...and the remaining dozens (hundreds?) of "red flags" for the last year-and-something.

They had me and my pitchfork ready at making an autism registry, but it’s all intolerable

Where does one even buy pitchforks these days? Tractor Supply Co.?

Following the 2nd Amendment and NRA recommendations, you can buy some ranged "pitchforks" at Walmart.
