At exactly the same time they try to reduce their reliance on the US.

Wait, Andrew Tate and his brother kept trafficking girls after Trump and his DoJ let him come back to America. I mean, I didn't see that coming at all ( I totally saw it coming)

Trump naturally takes our misfortune as an opportunity to attack. --I find it difficult to believe we ever thought the US was a trustworthy ally. What fools we were. Well--never again.

They arrested Barron’s life coaches?

UPDATE: from Crown Prosecution Service in UK, it's a slew of sexual offense-related charges, unsurprisingly. Stmt: www.cps.gov.uk/national-new...

The Trump team's intervention to free the Tates from Romania in early 2025 was a bridge too far for some on the right. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/10/u...

Andrew nurtured relationships with Junior and Barron, who recognized the role that young male voters could play helping Trump return to power. Barron admired Andrew, and spoke with him last year where they discussed their shared belief that the Romanian case was an effort to silence the Tates.

I wish the Tate brothers a very

3. BUT — judicial certification does not mean they will be extradited — the US Secretary of State has a great deal of power in cases of extradition.

2. The bigger issue was Trump associates pushing the Romanians to lift their travel ban. Not to mention how people very closely associated with Trump like Dana White welcoming them to UFC events and treating them like guests of honor. Not to mention Benny Johnson and others defending them.

Of course they were. They’ll probably appoint them as heads of the Child Protection branch of the government. They can monitor detention centres for children who seem a little on the vulnerable side.

A news release from the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said Andrew Tate, 39, had been charged with seven further counts of rape, three counts of arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation, three counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and 19 additional charges for

These are truly awful exploiters of other human beings

My country has just banned Polymarket (proving that a state can also, sometimes, serve its citizens, not just the wealthy).

BREAKING: LONDON (AP) — British prosecutors announce they are seeking extradition of Tate brothers from US on rape, sex trafficking charges.

Andrew Tate sporting the Laura Petrie look

We 🇨🇦 just committed $2B to a new carbon-capture project, and by golly, it is looking pretty timely.

Andrew and Tristan Tate have been arrested in Miami, TMZ reports

If you read that HORRIFYING New Yorker article you will probably believe that any day these alleged child and woman rapists, sex traffickers, domestic abusers, and sex trafficking influencers are off the streets is a better day

A must read— @heidiblake.bsky.social for @newyorker.com

in case you missed it last year — of course trump made the tate brothers lives easier (gift link)

Or in any other country. *We* still have functioning rule of law.

and the marshals just picked up the tate boys. this should be a fun diversion.

Yes, this is why they have been imported to the US. To provide these services to the upper levels of the US elite.

There *is* a God. —Maybe.

ZOHRAN: “For all the fearmongering about Democratic Socialism, the best response is to show what it actually means.” NYT: “Are you a Democrat, or a Democratic Socialist?” ZOHRAN: “Both.”

Andrew Tate is now facing charges involving child sexual abuse material.

They’ll be fine. They are the new Epstein Brothers. They’ll be released. The Trump administration needs functioning sexual traffickers of women and girls.

I remember my husband coming home from work one day and telling me about this guy at work who his wife found out had mortgaged their home without her knowledge to fund his gambling habit and lost it all. Normal 30s-ish guy in normal tech role at a bank.

El-Sayed: They’ve taken to calling me dangerous. If you’re a worker who wants our economy to work for you, I’m not dangerous. If you’re AIPAC and want to send our money abroad, you damn well better believe I’m dangerous.

Yes, we are escalating toward uncontrolled world conflict, which the US will threaten to solve by nuclear means. (There is no doubt about this, Trump would do it in a heartbeat, he *is* that stupid), thanks, US. Enjoy your soccer game, and then tell us all how hard you are working to depose Trump.

Turns out Mike Lindell moved to Texas and registered to vote there, too.

it's not just for entertainment. gambling also goes up during economic downturns. here's the mindset: if you only have $500, you can't pay many of your bills — but if you double or triple it, you can. and if you lose that $500, you aren't much worse off than before. that's why it's so insidious.

Most of the oil rushed out of the Hormuz Strait during the brief lull in fighting was moved by Iran through the corridor it opened, and it was worth some $6bn, says WSJ. More US tactical brilliance produced this. www.wsj.com/world/middle...

Rule of law in the US should take care of that, no problem.

Meanwhile, reports are that US warships cruising the Middle East are not stocked with weaponry. Empty holsters. Trump has already shot his wad, as it were. Sounds like the US is running on a busted flush, with respect to weaponry. (And it’s also looking like their F-35s are pretty janky.)

What you get instead is Huckabee Southern Baptist law, which is 95% the same as Sharia law, though actually much more restrictive when it comes to women and their rights.

And Iran has promised to respond with 5x. The US does not understand what it is unleashing here. (I’m not 100% sure they are capable of thought, now.)

i worked in several casinos and later for an online sportsbook. the best advice i can give you is to stay the hell away from all of it.

Yes, and we would not now be preparing for you to invade us, on the thinnest of pretexts. Everone knows you are desperate for our resources. And Trump has never stopped obsessing about turning us into a vassal state. To him, we’re like a nude 13-year-old girl dangling in front of him. He drools.

③ revoke visas for Canadian political leaders sanctioned under the bill ④ express a sense of Congress that the Canadian ambassador is “persona non grata” until the smoke clears The Moreno bill seeks to make the Canadian wildfire a pretext for invading Canada.

Yes it’s possible Bahrain suffers irreparable damage from these attacks. Existential. —And that’s what supporting the US buys you.

We expect nothing but torture from the US, in every single respect, going forward now. The only remedy is to distance ourselves sufficiently that their ability to harm us is limited. —That, and to actively hope that they become so weakened in Iran that they can’t further perpetrate on us.

Video captures the moment several Iranian medium- to intermediate-range ballistic missiles struck Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan overnight. The attack killed at least two U.S. service members and injured several others, according to U.S. Central Command.

This is one of the most ghoulish things they have done yet.

OMG. Stanley Milgram enters the chat.

David Horsey, Seattle Times

That’s because they *are* pedophiles.

I mean, this has been clearly signalled. Iran has been nothing but clear about this. If the US chose to remain actively ignorant of it, that’s on them and their GCC allies. —I think the US’s genie has been in the bottle so long that they no longer have any conception what happens when it gets out.
