It seems to have paid off
The fix is in. The Tate bros are out.
Manoshpere bigot Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan—who still face rape and human trafficking charges in Romania, among others—are on their way to the United States after the Trump administration strong-armed Romania into lifting travel restrictions.
The Tate brothers have been ardent Trump supporters for years, and it seems to have paid off. A Trump official mentioned the Tates in a call with Romania earlier this month, according to the Financial Times. Trump’s special envoy Ric Grenell brought up the brothers again to Romania’s foreign minister on his trip to Munich.
And “brought up” is apparently cravenspeak for “demanded the immediate release of.”
“I have never heard of a foreign government asking Romania to lift preventive measures to allow some suspects to leave the country,” foreign Romanian Judge Cristi Danilet told the Associated Press. “If I had been a judge, this would not have happened. If it is true, it means that there is no more rule of law and sovereign countries.”
It’s true; they’re back in the US now, while Trump claims to know nothing about it.
I will never understand why so many people WANTED this craven, morally bankrupt, repulsive, corrupt, boorish, malevolent, sadistic, cretinous, dullard of a man to take over and destroy our country. People who say that Harris or the Democrats didn’t run the right campaign . . . How much more stark could the contrast be between the two candidates? What the hell could ANY candidate have done, given that so many people WANT this?
To bend the attention and power of the government of the United Statrs of America for the likes of these two is grotesquely disproportionate. It’s like using a nuclear bomb to open a can of beans. Trump would never exert himself like this for an actual political prisoner; the key here is that “the Tate brothers have been ardent Trump supporters for years….” Same with the insurrectionists he pardoned. They were all just misunderstood “fans”, persecuted For His Name’s Sake.
Maybe he’s going to offer the Tates cabinet positions.
I wonder will the Trump Administration demand the release of Gary Glitter or Harvey Weinstein next.
