Oh ffs, stop warning him, he already knows and still does not comply. He does not care. Just throw the hammer at him, this he will understand.

Don't worry, EU strikes very slowly, but hard.

Can we not do this? It's so pathetic.

Just like how the US supposedly, "grinds slow but grinds fine". No. A literal traitor having YEARS of freedom is NOT justice of any sort. Warning a rich piece of shit that they're violating laws for the 1100th time IS NOT justice.

Stop pretending laws are applied remotely evenly or remotely expeditiously on the rich. It's blatantly and obviously not true.

I’m just happy to see the EU take these important first steps towards actually punishing him and others like him. They’re the only governmental organization around the world that’s actually doing something thoughtful.

China has been doing it for years

Nothing thoughtful about blocking all the things you don’t like.
