Seems to me that Romania should just let everyone know that they are receptive to the idea but will need some funding towards the cost of improving the speed and efficiency of their court system.
Start the bidding at an even billion USD. Let Trump try to Art of the Deal™ that one past the american populace. Should be some interesting mental gymnastics to try to explain why he is valuing Tate at 500 million times higher than any rational person would.
I honestly feel like every country that has anything that Trump wants needs to start figuring out the most unreasonable price tags they can.
Rapists gonna help rapists.
Weak chin master race
Why?
Because Trump needs to show people that being on his side means you won't face consequences, and crossing him will have dire consequences (see: Zelenskyy not being invited to peace talks regarding Ukraine.)
I would bet on a crypto currency ~~bribe~~ inaugural ball donation.
Apparently there's been "a concerted effort to target conservatives around the world" run through USAID. 🤷♂️
Something that's been sort of tickling at my brain for a while now just came together with this headline.
Tate, Trump, Musk, Vance, Hegseth, Zuckerberg and a bunch of others of the hard right all share a distinctive personality type.
Essentially they're incels who somehow managed to get laid.
If it weren't for particular circumstances (most often undeserved wealth), they would've just been typical incels, sitting at home being bitter and hateful and insecure and self-absorbed. But because of those circumstances, they managed to get laid, so they ended up with more or less the same bitterness and hatefulness and desperate insecurity they would've had anyway, except it's countered by a weird situational and entirely undeserved over-confidence, because after all, they're special, because they can get laid.
That would also go some way toward explaining why they're so often sexual predators. Essentially they're bitter incels who don't have to limit themselves to fantasies alone.
I think they are also always compensating out of fear/ perception of lack. Hence tilting towards another extreme.
I think you’ve hit the nail on the head!
Makes sense. He's part of a larger cultural manipulation "movement." It's not so much that it's organized but that he and people like him are useful to the fascists as he's one part of a larger worldview that keeps reich wingers attached to the far right and therefore solid votes for MAGA.
There really is a conspiracy of cultural manipulation, but it's not like they all get together in a smokey room and discuss plans. It's more like a whole bunch of useful idiots working in their own self interest that play into a larger movement which is what Bannon aimed to weaponize and what people like Muskrat signal boost on their platforms. :/
It's not a formal conspiracy, but an alignment of interests among the oligarchs and grifters.
What tone deaf idiot wrote this headline?
Caption under the picture at the top of the article: "Tate and his brother are charged with human trafficking, sexual misconduct, and money laundering."
Professional misogynist is a weak way to describe such a person. Misogyny isn't even illegal.
Ah you're stumbling onto the actual bias. Very good.
criminal rapists stick togehter
As long as it involves him going to Guantanamo Bay I am for it.
Hes probably gonna get offered a position in the government

More likely they're so still gathering at a place similar to Epstein Island.
