The Tates are the new Epstein. Hope they speed run to the end.

[–] lemmelemmy@feddit.org 9 points 4 hours ago

Tate is a small fry compared to Epstein

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 3 hours ago

nah, they are low-level employees compared to epstein. epstein acquires "talent" from many countries.

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 11 points 8 hours ago

Looking forward to forgetting these guys exist.

[–] AliOski@feddit.nl 3 points 7 hours ago (3 children)

Why are you talking about Republican Christian values if Andrew Tate converted to Islam? At least, that's what I understood.

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

"Just asking questions", bro?

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 7 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

You do realize that these pedo assholes are very popular among Republicans and that Trump intervened with the Romanian government to let them travel back to the US despite then being under investigation there for the same shit and they've been working with Baron for Republican outreach?

That's why.

[–] AliOski@feddit.nl -3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

What does Andrew Tate have to do with Christian values?

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago

He's buddy buddy with republicans who pretend to have values. He just explained it

He was praying to Allah when he was imprisoned in Romania is what I recollect.

Edit: yup, he converted to Islam in 2022 and there has been no sign of him converting back to Christianity or atheism.

I once went on a date with a Russian girl. Later I found her Pinterest profile that featured, among other things, pictures of Russian soldiers trampling on Pride flags, Elon Musk and Andrew Tate. Later I stumbled onto her Tinder profile where the description read "PS. I'm a fan of Andrew Tate".

So I didn't only dodge a bullet, but a whole clip.

These news make me want to ask her "well, what do you think of Andrew Tate now?"

[–] FartMaster69@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Probably no difference in opinion.

[–] CultLeader4Hire@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

Yeah, women like that have so much internalized misogyny. No way she’d believe the allegations are true even if he’s convicted

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago

I dated a Russian girl for a couple of months and she had some really backwards morals, saying I shouldn't work out since I'm a man so I can be out shape while she needs to always look sexy. I always thought she was jking at first but she made me understand she was being 100% literal

[–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 28 points 12 hours ago (5 children)

Have they been extradited yet? I feel like the longer they’re in the US the more likely Trump is going to step in to pardon them — it’s federal and therefore possible right?

[–] FartMaster69@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

The president can’t pardon crimes another country is prosecuting.

[–] obviouspornalt@fedinsfw.app 9 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

well, not with that attitude, certainly. but have you considered that no one in charge gives a shit about the law?

[–] FartMaster69@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

He could wave a pen, say they’re pardoned and refuse to extradite. But they still could never travel to the UK or any other nation that extradites to the UK.

[–] BlaestEgnen@feddit.dk 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

They fled to the US for amnesty because they don't intend to do so, but it would sour the American relationship with the UK even further

[–] FartMaster69@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 hours ago

Clearly the plan didn’t work considering US Marshals did in fact arrest them.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 33 points 12 hours ago

They aren't being charged in the US, they're being charged in the UK. They're dual citizens. I guess trump could stop them from being extradited? https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwymly9yd33o

[–] fizzle@quokk.au 9 points 11 hours ago

Doesn't really seem "on brand" for Trump.

He might have a lot in common with these scum bags but that's not enough for him to act - there's nothing in it for him.

They're also headed to jail, which is the wrong direction for Trump. He will hitch his wagon to anyone who is popular and successful like Mandani, regardless of ideology. He avoids anyone who has fallen from grace, like these two.

The only reason he pardoned the Jan 6 insurrectionists is because he may need to rely on similar support in future.

This doesn't make sense.

You extradite someone if they have charges in another jurisdiction. Presidential pardons would only apply to (federal) US charges.

[–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 8 points 10 hours ago

I mean I feel like Trump would step in to block their extradition, not magically drop their charges in other countries.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

The idea being you can pardon someone of another jurisdiction's crimes...? I need to smoke another bowl apparently

[–] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Compare extradition of the Tate idiots to some other shit extradition from Spain of a, not kidding, Cox Communication empire heir who funds humanitarian efforts

In July 2026, Chambers was arrested in Ibiza, Spain, and ordered held without bail pursuant to a sealed extradition request from the United States Department of Justice relating to his financial support for Palestinian causes; his family, his legal team, and left-wing politicians in Spain and Ireland described the action as politically motivated.[6][7][8] As of mid-July 2026, Chambers remained in custody in Spain pending the outcome of extradition proceedings.[8]
