    Trump can’t really do anything. It’s a UK warrant backed by an extradition treaty between the US and UK signed Congress. Pardon inapplicable. Now, his soft power and influence may bring influence to bear, but he’s limited by his actual authority to do anything.

    That first sentence, that hasn't stopped all the other illegal shit they are getting away with. And let's not forget who the governor of Florida is as well.

    I agree. Sure, legally Trump's hands are tied, technically. But in actuality, these guys are physically in the US, so Trump can do basically whatever he wants. So it violates a treaty... so what? Is the UK going to go to war over that, or even nullify the treaty? Doubtful.

    "Social Media Influencers" is no longer the what they are most known for.

    Good.

    I mean no offence to women or men, but every time I see this 'Alpha' man, he looks like and is dressed like a very unattractive woman.

    How very strange that the article makes no mention of how the Tate brothers found themselves in the United States in the first place…

    It does? Although it's not much.

    Last year, they were allowed to leave Romania and flew to Florida on a private jet.

    Not sure if that was added, the article does say it was updated in tiny print at the top by the date, but not what was updated. Of course.

    HOW were they allowed to, though?

    Weren't they already convicted and serving prison sentences?

    Or is the Romanian government as corrupt as the US one and just set them free for bribes and/or political reasons?

    They were convicted but it didn't stick ( or someone intervened ) and afterwards i'm fairly certain they were set free and allowed to go to florida in an exchange of favours: we give you your guys and you shut up about us cancelling elections ( back then maga was particularly vocal about those elections, for good reason too). And wouldn't you know it, not a maga peep about the elections since. The tates even revisited Romania to "make investments here". Isn't it nice when crooks scratch each other's backs?

    Are they expecting Trump to let them out? If you're hiding in another country, why would you visit that country?

    Was speaking more towards policy and process rather than mode of transport.

    Disingenuous at best, blatant obfuscation at worst.

    The dearth of detail highlights the editorial stance of the publication; the term that comes to mind is cowardice.

    Yeah, AP has a reputation for trustworthiness through a lack of bias, but in reality their dogmatic insistence on ABSOLUTE neutrality in the face of objective reality is both cowardly and a tremendous bias itself that renders them less trustworthy than those partisan sources that don't hide their bias.

    US next presidents

    If there are any. I wouldn't put it past Trump to run in 2028, rig that election so thoroughly that he literally can't lose, and establish hereditary rule afterwards.

    Even when/if the dictatorship is eventually overthrown and it's still called the US, they might wisely scrap the extremely outdated Constitution and establish a parliamentary system without a powerful president in order to prevent a repeat of that whole debacle..
