Summary

Andrew and Tristan Tate have left Romania for the US after officials lifted their travel ban.

The brothers, arrested in 2022, face charges of rape, human trafficking, and money laundering but were granted temporary permission to travel.

Romania’s government denies US interference, though reports suggest Trump’s envoy discussed their case. The Tates, also wanted in the UK for past allegations, must return for a March court hearing.

Prosecutors accuse them of exploiting women through the “loverboy” method and profiting millions from forced pornography. Both deny all charges.

    The US is trying desperately hard to achieve scumbag singularity. PeRsEcUtEd white South Africans? Bring em on! Scumfuck manosphere influencers? Let’s bring them home! Rich assholes no longer welcome in their home country? Yeah, will that be cash or check?

    Though, the thought occurs that the scumbag concentration increases on a curve that’s inverse of the square root of distance from the White House. Maybe all these assholes will just gel together in DC like some Sci Fi mutant scumbag blob and we can just, like, cast fire on it or cut the city adrift into the Atlantic to go become some old sailor’s myth like the Flying Dutchman or Belgium.

    Well fuck this all to hell. They both deserve to be underneath the jail and there is so much evidence to prove their guilt. Just disgusting.

        It’s all to make people be angry, rage and riot so trump can justify calling either rrhe military, or his Nazi goons to attack citizens as a display of his power.

      I remember when I thought Tony Abbott appointing himself ‘Minister for Women’ back in 2013 was the height of absurdity.

      Now the Tate brothers will likely have some position in the US government.

      We live in ‘interesting’ times.

        Remember Mitt (Binders Fulla Women) Romney? We were still traumatized by Bush 2 and then there’s this scumbag possibly the next president? It feels quaint that I thought we were as low as we could get as a country. Luckily the other less scummy scumbag won… no point in typing out the rest.

      Named official envoy to… Romania, so that he can go back and pick right up where he left off, except now he’ll have diplomatic immunity.

        Iirc, there was supposed to be a fight scene, but Ford was suffering from terrible diarrhea on set, so they came up with this to keep it short, lol.

    The brothers are outspoken supporters of Donald Trump, and several members of the US president’s inner circle have spoken out publicly against their treatment, including Donald Trump Jr who described their detention as “absolute insanity”.

    Elon Musk responded to a suggestion from Tate that he would “run for prime minister of the UK” by saying “he’s not wrong”, while one of Tate’s lawyers, Paul Ingrassia, is the White House liaison official for the US Department of Justice.

    According to Ingrassia, the Tate brothers were “sacrificed on the altar of the Matrix under the banner of egregious crimes they never committed”. The US vice-president, JD Vance, has appeared on a pro-Tate podcast.

    what the hell is this?! will someone please reboot this fucking universe! I am disgusted to be alive right now.

    I’m absolutely disgusted by this. These guys were trafficking and raping young women (kids?) and Trump thinks this is not only OK but to be encouraged? And Romania… WTF?

      Trump is looking for his new Epstein. Remember, he partied with both Epstein and Maxwell, flying over half a dozen times on Epstein’s private plane, “The Lolita Express.”

      Like with anything the GOP accuses Dems of, the sex trafficking ring was projection.

        Don’t forget that Trump and Epstein used to fly on Trump’s private jet as well, along with the young contestants of Trump Beauty Pagents, who Trump says he liked to “surprise” by opening the door of the changing rooms at the pagents.

          Yes, those girls were about 15 and Trump used to try to catch them naked in the dressing rooms. And he bragged about it.

    I don’t understand this.

    Venezuelans escaping from a communist dictator: ❌ Fuck them, send back to their country where they will be tortured and imprisoned

    Same for Haitians

    A serial rapist that boasts and is proud to be a serial rapist: ✔️ Yes please, we like people like this

      Republicans are all about hating and abusing women these days. That and greed. The Tates will be hailed as heroes for their raping and trafficking, and for profiting off it.

    It’d be a real shame if the Uber they pick up at the airport spun out and hit a bridge embankment before bursting into flames with the driver miraculously escaping unharmed.

    Can’t say I’m surprised. There were credible rumous that the US pressured our gvt to release them. Word on the street is that they “traded” handing these two over in exchange for the US shutting up about the arrest of the russian puppet candidate. These both happened in the same day, so there may some truth to that. Honestly this wouldn’t feel like that bad of a deal - one manchurian candidate for two instagram pimps. It’s immoral, cowardly and corrupt, but these are the times we’re living in.

    Just remember this every time a US official blabbers stuff about other countries’ election interference.
