There was a Welsh tourist in the US who was doing household chores to stay in people's houses, and she was being detained because she should be on a working visa, and wanted to leave but they wouldn't let her. She wasn't taken while trying to leave, she was prevented from doing so. Which I think is quite fucked up as well.

The US is the one that has all the cards but it's the EU that's unfair? How does that work?

Sorry, I misread your comment.

I've never tried this.

I love so many things about Rise of Nations that it wouldn't fit in a Lemmy post.

Also, they have excellent music.

Apart from Denmark. I know only one band from there.

It was Rise of Nations for me.

Thank you for your insightful reply.

I also found this: https://www.citizensforethics.org/news/analysis/trumps-politicization-of-the-u-s-marshals-service-is-a-threat-to-our-democracy/

It says that one of the primary functions of the US Marshals Service is to carry out judicial orders, but it reports to the president. This looks like a flaw to me.

Sorry, I'm a foreigner and I don't understand much. Someone cares to explain? Should the police normally enforce judicial orders and sentences? Why do they not? Is the police personally loyal to Trump?

It's a gnome foot though.

Nice. In what year(s) did you have your first computer?

I understood the post you are replying to as saying "what will AfD voters do when their party is banned?".

In the case of the Nazis, we don't know because their party was never banned. We don't know what would have happened if the Nazi party had been banned.

I would be interested to know if we have historical cases of far-right parties that could have won the elections but were banned before they had the chance.
