Agree. That is such an america centric view. Why would italians give enough fucks about DOGE to burn a Tesla store about it. Being a Nazi is what is our primary issue with Musk here in Europe.

Or people not in uniform seemingly. Easiest time ever to actually kidnap people: Get your thugs together, get a van, kidnap your target person from the street, while yelling “shut up, we are the police”. Outcome is essentially the same

Also they might just deport you to some concentration camp in El Salvador for having the wrong tattoo and who knows if you can get out of there ever again. I wouldn’t trust anyone saying “they would never do that to tourists” at this point.

Well, you won’t see me entering the US anytime soon.

Article 7 now! How much more “breaching of EU values” we need to see for something to be done? 😐

I hope not, but now Slovakia might jump in instead though.

Article 7 exists. It allows to suspend voting rights of a member state, if all other members vote for that. So far the EU is hesitant to use it, but as I see it, it is about damn time.
