I put this in AIBU for traffic. I am furious and I know what I’m feeling is reasonable. Trump has convinced/bullied whatever Romania into releasing the bastards and has allowed them to fly to America. They are on their way to Florida. No doubt to be wined and dined at bloody Maralago. They will now have a luxury life and continue to be able to abuse and exploit women and girls and also corrupt the minds of boys and young men. 😡

The didn't flee. The Romanian authorities lifted their travel restrictions.

You're right, they didn't flee. The POTUS used his power to get them back. He's a big fan of rapists and sex offenders and sex traffickers. I think he sees them as kindred spirits.

Just look at the man he is and the men he's surrounded himself by.🤷‍♀️

Trump was asked tonight about it and he said he knew nothing about it.

I cannot imagine he would.

Starmer got in they are charged of human trafficking and that's a security threat
Trump said "you know about it?"

I'm trusting that starmer will inform trump and they will be swiftly sent back to Romania.

Trump knows what a woman is, the left don't.

He knows what one is when he wants to screw one.

Goodness. That's a terrifying read.

RetroTotty · 27/02/2025 21:09

@Babybaby2025 Excellent - although distressing to read - post. Thank you. If that pair manage to evade justice, it will embolden other moneyed perverts and traffickers to up their game.

What a hideous future for women and girls to contemplate.

I think that most of the posters here need to have a bit more faith in their kids to see through his bullshit. It's wild that so many are worried their boys are going to turn into misogynistic monsters because of some cigar smoking cretin on the internet. The moral panic is massively OTT in my opinion.

You underestimate the influence social media has on young minds it's no different to the impact it has on eating disorders, mental health, self harm suicide etc.

Well yes @Arrivals4lucky I'm aware of that.

Yeah because Trump has such a clear record of speaking the truth.

Of course he’ll deny it, this will have repercussions and anyone minimising this situation is incredibly naive.

They will never return to Romania, they will never face trial for these charges while they’re in the US.

The governor of my beloved home state of Florida said a few hours ago that they are not welcome in Florida, and that the state will be looking to see if any crimes were committed in Florida so they can be tried under state law. The penalty for sex trafficking is 30 years and the penalty for rape of a minor (aggravated sexual battery) is life without the possibility of parole.

Let's hope they effed up in Florida, because my state will get them if they did.

Just as long as Trump doesn't pardon them. He's already pardoned a long list of wrong-uns.

Sad to hear this. I’d been hoping that baron might grow up a bit better than the rest since his mother has kept herself (and by default her son) well away from Trump aside from the odd public appearance.

This explains more, and does make sense that he would tap into the younger generation by utilising the knowledge he has close by.

He can't pardon them? They haven't been convicted of a crime in the USA.

Do you think he brought them to America to prosecute them?

PuttingouttheFirewithGasoline · 27/02/2025 22:55

Florida has said they are not welcome unfortunately I think they were born in the states

I really don't feel whatever anyone thinks of Trump he would spend any time on those two.

But he did spend time and influence on them. That's why the press have been following this story since the Whitehouse called for their release a few days ago. That's why the Tate brothers are in Florida tonight.

Because Donald Trump.

It's probably Musk-led, and Trump-enabled.

Musk has been advocating for the Tates for a while now.

I may have misheard this but I think I heard on radio that, in Florida, there are outstanding allegations? Investigations? Similar to those alleged in Rumania, sex trafficking, grooming, underage assaults. So perhaps, as pp mentioned, there may be future legal action against this pair in the USA. They are so depraved that Bigly looks quite saintly by comparison.

I'd put the chances of them serving in the Trump administration as being significantly higher than the chances of them being imprisoned. They've gotten away with it all.

Serpentstooth · 28/02/2025 07:04

Sadly, @LemonDog, you are more than likely correct. It's beyond depressing.

LaceApplique · 27/02/2025 20:16

FFS what? Am I making too much sense.

You are entitled to feel pissed off about them flying to Florida, that doesn't mean they should be prevented from doing so as they haven't been found guilty... yet.

So you don’t believe in remand or bail conditions for serious crimes. Gotcha.

tellmewhenthespaceshiplandscoz · 28/02/2025 08:41

So if you had sons, you really think that they would be persuaded to get into the sex trafficking business because of Andrew Tate?

//

Thin end of the wedge ... obviously no teen boy watches a bloke on YouTube and wakes up the following morning and cheerily starts researching his way into being a People Trafficker Extraordinaire.

It starts with a a trickle effect of hearing their vile views towards women, how they are here for their amusement and bodily use. They legitimise misogyny and encourage their young followers to be quite open in echoing their views.

Then these views and behaviour are endorsed by the leader of the free fucking world and his nazi saluting puppet master.

Another nail in the coffin for safety and equality for our girls

Have you spoken to any secondary teachers recently? Ask them how much of an issue it is in schools. Especially the female teachers.

Quite. At my school we have had a number of internal comms in the last 12 months advising to be vigilant to discussion amongst boys and repeating of his disgusting comments.

This is not a moral fucking panic.

tellmewhenthespaceshiplandscoz · 28/02/2025 08:47

I am wondering how the GC feminists who said and still say they like trump because he “knows what a woman is” will defend this

///

As a GC feminist who knows even a stopped clock is correct twice a day, I can say that yes, trump knows what a woman is.

At the same time I will also say he's a dangerous, law bending and revolting man who shouldn't be anywhere near the presidency.

Why is there such an insistence amongst some posters that because you agree with some things someone one says you are then absolutely aligned with everything they say? Confused

No surprise that a convicted sex offender supports and shields other sex offenders from the consequences of their actions. They are all despicable people.

Ablondiebutagoody · 27/02/2025 13:51

They seem like a pair of tw@ts but pretty insignificant really so not worth getting worked up about.

Hardly insignificant to the girls/women they sex trafficked and raped. Your moral compass seems to have gone missing.
