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.

Trump protecting his own
Can someone Luigi this guy too?
Prime target to get luigied
They’re headed to the state of Luigiana
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.
These creeps are going to be appointed to the cabinet aren’t they?
Yup
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.
Yeah, I know. They’re looking for an excuse to impose martial law.
We don’t want these cunts back.
They’ll be appointed to government positions soon.
They will be leading the new government department called RAPE (Republican Advocacy for Patriarchy Enforcement)
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.
We live in ‘interesting’ times.
The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters.
He was also the minister of indigenous affairs. Pretty wild for a horrible racist.
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.
Remember when pedos got beat down instead of protected?
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.
I heard he’d forgotte his line and just improvised but the comedy went over so well they decided to film it again for realsies.
National IQ in the US is about to drop a couple of points.
I don’t think our collective IQ was that high to begin with…77million idiots voted for trump a second time.
I didn’t think minus values were possible on standard IQ tests.
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.
Which pizza parlor do you suppose they do their satanic rituals in?
I’d be cool with him getting the Epstein treatment.
It probably wasn’t projection, it was eliminating the competition.
while i’m sure there’s democrats doing this shit, it’s hard not to notice there’s a lot more smoke and flames the farther to the right, politically, you look
Lol, Trump rapes kids
I thought Trump was supposed to be deporting criminal immigrants.
Rape isn’t a big deal according to trump supporters
But the tates love minors, and committing sexual crimes, so it’s something trump loves and wants more of.
And they hate women with a vengeance, which will make them extra popular.
Make sure you read the trump thesaurus,
criminal: brown, black, non-english-speaking
Don’t forget poor
Import, deport. What’s the difference?
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.
The world is rebooting at the moment. The old systems are breaking down, the new system is still being written and in the meantime all kinds of rogue elements run havoc.
“Travel” 😉 I’m sure they’ll be back for the trial
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
I don’t understand this.
Republicans and Trump are evil pieces of shit, which means they will do the absolute worst thing possible every time.
One has money.
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.
Trump probably sent them an armored limo straight to mar a lago.
Romania denies any corruption, but assures the Tates pinky swear that they will come back to spend 15-20 years in jail, no problem. Our Romanian police correspondent could not provide more details as he said he had to go to the bank before closing time to make a deposit.
If it makes you any consolation, these people are absolutely miserable on the inside. I recently read a transcript of one of them speaking with an officer and I had to stop counting the amount of psychological red flags. They are suffering on the inside. I mean they need to be in jail too because their actions are affecting others too, but at least I can sleep at night knowing they’re fucking miserable.
I’d prefer them to be suffering on the outside as well.
Where can i read this transcription?
Could you elaborate? I too would also like to sleep at night.
I’ll try and find the transcript when I get home from work, but it went something like this:
Investigator: Could you explain why there are allegations of abuse coming from your workers?
Tate: Oh they’re just saying all that stuff because they’re jealous of me (textbook case of projection; i.e. he is an incredibly jealous person, and so views the actions of others through his own lens; he has a very weak “frame of mind” if you will)
I remember it was full of stuff like this. Jealousy, envy, projection, playing the victim (at multiple points he literally expressed himself as the one who is being victimized by this whole situation), overcompensation, defensiveness…I mean you name it and it was there. You could take a psychology course in just this one interview with the investigator and you could learn quite a bit.
Edit: I should say too that I really struggle to have empathy for those who take their own suffering and promulgate it among those around them (the Tate’s for example). It demonstrates incredibly weak and poor character, and in my opinion (and with working with many, MANY people like this), it is almost impossible for them to get help. They almost never recognize themselves at fault (since they have a superiority complex), and so are incapable of taking that first step towards getting the necessary psychological support needed.
If they don’t want help, fine. Shove these types of people away from society so they don’t make it other people’s problems. They can fester in their own suffering for all I care, as long as it’s far away from others.
I don’t think it’s unfair to have those kinds of feelings towards incredibly toxic people. The first step to treating mental illness is being aware of the issue. Good luck getting a malignantly narcissistic pieces of shit like the Tate brothers to be aware of anything except their bank accounts.
