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. 😡

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.

I think he'd spend time on anyone who has money and influence over others

Astonishingly though even people like Ben Shapiro and Ron deSantis are complaining about them being allowed into the States. When even guys like that have standards the Tates fall below, that's something!

Does anyone else think Musk is behind this?

Genuine question, how do you do this? Because it's starting to look like the more effort that goes into doing this, the more radicalised in favour of Tate young men become.

Just lots of open conversation rather than lecturing. My son is almost 12. He ONCE referred to Tate as a "total G" a couple of years ago because that's what he'd heard his friends say. I didn't go mad, but we had a calm and thorough conversation about the things he's said and done, the impact that has on people and can have on people close to him, then I asked him his thoughts. We continue to talk about all sorts of topics and his dad does too so he gets a male perspective. He's now disgusted by Tate, but not because I told him to be, but because his eyes were opened to all sides.

It's also important to make sure you show them good role models, because it's good to have them and there's plenty out there, although it's also important to know that no-one is perfect and you can't blindly idolise anyone, you can be inspired when they do good things.
And that role models don't have to be famous people, they can be people that are actually in your lives and show you for you in real life.

He's starting air cadets soon which I hope will also help

They could not have been denied entry given they are US citizens.

I think they're complaining that the US government put pressure on the Romanian government to let them travel. And they don't want them in Florida.

Mine is a Sea Cadet and has some really fantastic and inspiring role models, I'm so grateful they exist

We start after Easter and I'm so looking forward to it. I think it will be so good for him. do you have any tips for when they first start?

Surely not!
Elon Musk is well known for his dislike of Muslim grooming gangs (I heard Tate converted) and championing their victims.

Clearly. He's very Tate-sympathetic and Andrew Tate was one of the first people Musk selected to be paid to post.

Musk and his fans are anti-Muslim, not anti-grooming.

TooBigForMyBoots · 28/02/2025 18:23

Not just Musk. The Tate rapists have other friends including members of the Trump family.

They'll be well looked after, just enjoy!

Florida has opened up a new criminal investigation - great news.

That's 3 countries after him now.

Don't hold out much hope for justice in Today's USA. Detain, arrest, charge, trial, guilty. Hey Elon, JD and Bigly, it's not fair, we were only free-speeching and practising what A Man should be. O yes, that's right, you were. Pardon for the Tate boys immediately and an invitation to my tropical paradise by the sea. Forgive the rant, MN, I'd happily throw away the key.

I don’t think that the president can pardon someone convicted of a crime at the state level? I may be wrong.

Although of course the entire system of ‘presidential pardons’ is ludicrous and makes a complete mockery of justice.

Tate is about as Muslim as bacon and Easter.

And even if he had converted…that would have nothing to do with grooming gangs. And Tate was openly pro the rioters.

Weird comment.

According to hs tweet, it is a 2 week holiday and they are going back to Romania in a few days
