Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

They elected a child rapist/murderer to be their president.
Twice.
I thought that's what would get him in to the new modern america.
He must feel like a big man beating it to that
I'm not in the slightest surprised
Yup. Totally tracks.
This puts the US admin in a weird spot. This guy is charged with possessing CA images. Will the USA protect him or hand him over?
It kinda sets a precedence in a way on if pedos are protected or not. We all know the reality but in such a high profile situation like this where there is a charge and he is not politician what will they do?
IMO, Given he is partially African American and generally operated out of the UK, they will hand him over, but that sends the very clear message pedos are to be punished.
Interesting position that’s occurring here (I suspect by design of the UK) . The USA protects its pedophiles, however verbalizing protection of a non white not fully American pedophile is a possible stretch.
The Tate brothers will be sacrificed for the sake of optics.
TBF they should be sacrificed just for the hell of it.
The US doesn't protect pedos per se, it protects the disgustingly rich and those connected to them.
It's just that there's a great deal of overlap between that group and the pedos
I suspect Tate is not in the obscenely weathy group, or he wouldn't have been imprisoned in the first place.
I don't disagree with your assessment...but the fact they elected one to the highest office is a pretty powerful message (on normalization) to the rest of the world.
You seem to focus too much on the pedophilia. It's not that these people like pedophilia. They like the rich. And if the rich are pedophiles, who cares, they are rich.
The love of rich is stronger than the hate of pedophiles, yes that is how it looks.
I can't understand it personally. Only one of those is actually a despicable crime. Worshiping rich is people idiotic to me, letting them be above the law, on that kinda crime goes well beyond idiotic.
To the surprise of no one.
Now do Trump.
One week later: “Tate brothers have been released because fuck you and now they’re in America. Go buy their new metamale phd course”
i expect nothing less, especially if the tate brothers (andrew) also raped a women.
Joseph D McBride, the Tates’ lawyer, told reporters that his clients were innocent. He said: “They’ve never done nothing wrong. They shouldn’t be extradited for crimes they didn’t commit. It’s garbage. It’s a stitch-up job.”
Well Joseph is correct on half of that comment.. The double negative “they’ve never done nothing wrong” is entirely correct, and he’s also right that they shouldn’t be extradited for crimes they didn’t commit. There’s plenty of crimes they did commit that they should be extradited for.
I looked up their lawyer. Jesus Christ.
No no no, the lawyer isn't Christ. According to the lawyer, its the J6 rioters are analogous to Jesus Christ.
What were your findings?
Batshit insane. Should probably be locked up alongside them. Thankfully the UKs legal system will take one look at him and politely tell him to fuck off.
Wow, makes me curious what he did.
Not curious enough to simply google the guy though?
McBride hosts a YouTube channel titled "Judgment Day With Joe McBride." He claims that someone attempted to assassinate him for his role representing January 6 defendants by remotely taking control of his 2020 BMW X5 M-Sport and attempting to cause him to crash at high speed. He additionally claims that in the aftermath of this assassination attempt, his 2020 BMW X5 M-Sport would only drive in reverse, and that he drove from the Fort McHenry Tunnel to Washington D.C. (approximately 39 miles) in reverse.[39]
He additionally claims that he simultaneously experienced Lyme Disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, the Epstein-Barr virus, and long COVID after being vaccinated for COVID-19.[40]

Couldn't think of anyone more qualified for the job.
A criminal lawyer
It's all good, man
To be honest, anyone wanting to defend Tate is scummy enough for me lol.
he looks scummy too. go figure he would believe chronic lyme as well, whats he doing rolling around in the woods with ticks. 2 other notable Jan 6 defense lawyers, is Fulneckys Mom, THE lawyer/ minnesotan gov candidate(dropped out) that defends johnathan(ice)(the one that killed woman in Jan.

It's always the people you most expect
The other day there was a post where he was shaming Epstein associates and then here he is doing Epstein shit. Andrew Tate deserves no sympathy or mercy.
Images? Bro he sold minors to rapists
He’s the kind of guy you just wonder when he’ll get sent up on some kind of sex offender charge, not if.
I mean he was already arrested for exactly that in Romania and somehow was allowed to leave the country to flee to the US.
Because JD Vance vouched for him. You know, JD Vance the pedophile protector.
I know, I’m just saying he has Resting Predator Face.
The Trump administration pulled some strings to make it happen.
'I've been told I'll be free soon but Trump needs to see me in Miami.'

Trump pardon incoming
They're being charged in the UK. All Trump can do is refuse to extradite; but that just means they're bared from the UK and anywhere else that has an extradition treaty with the UK.

The day when we never have to hear about this man again is coming tantalisingly close.
Idk, I could probably bear to hear about him exactly one more time after he gets sent to prison.
