The big problem with that is that Tate is a MASSIVE flight risk, he’s already tried several strategies to get himself out of prison (that whole “cancer” debacle being one of them), and with some of the connections he likely has he’ll probably get someone he knows or who owes him to get himself onto a private jet and to Dubai (or anywhere else that doesn’t have an extradition treaty with Romania).
I would put money on it that’s EXACTLY what’s going to happen here, he’s going to get away with it all because of these new conditions. I have no doubt he’ll make some really stupid twitter posts, claiming that he broke out with his “raw masculine strength” rather than sitting on his ass and paying off a bunch of people.
You may not have heard of Vladen, but his popularity really blew up recently.

Our girl handed him a statuette in his likeness rigged with a bomb in a café, killing him and injuring 24 others, 6 of them in critical condition. Or she could be a convenient scapegoat, seeing that she and her husband are anti-war activists.
A statuette in his likeness that blew up? That almost belongs in the Hitman Moments In Real Life thread, as that sounds a lot like handing Dino Bosco the exploding Icon toy. Dunno if she really did it or not, and not that I’m necessarily applauding a man being blown up along with dozens injured, but that was creative.
Three Americans and one Canadian will crew Artemis II next year on a 10 day flight around the moon. Artemis III, which will land humans on the moon for the first time since 1972, will take off in 2025 or later.
No hand cuffs for Trump tomorrow
Even in non violent cases like this where someone arranges to turn themselves in on somewhat their own terms, the rules are that the cuffs go on when you arrive at the court house and then they come off in the court room and stay off when you either make bail or are released on your own recognizance. The Trump Corp CFO and Steve Bannon both had to wear them while they walked to the courtroom in this same case. US Secret Service asked Manhattan DA office for a bend in the rules bc they “don’t want him in cuffs in case they have to evacuate him.”
Very lame if you ask me!!! I have done far less bad than Donald Trump and I have been in bracelets plenty of times.
While I agree with what you are saying, I think it is the right call. Photos of Trump in cuffs will turn him into a martyr as they will be posted everywhere and further radicalize his base.
But I’m just a Canadian and have nothing in this fight.
It won’t matter if it does. His base isn’t going to grow any bigger or rowdier or more extreme than they already are. Seeing him in cuffs will, however, cement home to any right-leaning independents who are still on the fence are are not remembering g how bad he was because of how bad the media is trying to portray Biden as being, that this is real, that this presidential candidate is now an indicted criminal defendant, and that is going to turn a lot of them off to the idea of giving him a chance, even if he were to be acquitted. The perp walk doesn’t need to be done because it’s meaningless in this case; it would be entirely optics, because Trump is not going to lash out physically at his escorts and he’s not going to run anywhere. We don’t need the perp walk, or the mug shot because he’s instantly recognizable to everyone. Those would just be ceremony and optics in this case. But those optics would hurt him more than help, and no matter how angry his base gets, they can do nothing to help him.
The MP from the last story I posted is now threatening a lawsuit against Global if they don’t retract the story. No other papers ran with the story and personally it never made sense to me, but we will see what happens.
"After the ban announced last year, several NGOs suspended their entire operations in protest, piling further misery on Afghanistan’s 38 million citizens, half of whom are facing hunger according to aid agencies.
After days of discussions, it was agreed women working in the health aid sector would be exempt from the decree, and UN staff, including those in the aid sector, were never beholden to the ban.
Last month, however, UNAMA chief Roza Otunbayeva told the UN Security Council she feared the Taliban government could extend the ban imposed on women working for NGOs to the UN’s women staff."
So in addition to Donald Trump being arrested and arraigned in New York yesterday (the “arrested” part is under the law if not in practice), these two victories took place yesterday as well. Big wins not just for democrats but for democracy as a whole, and progressivism in particular.
I do love how some of the reports are saying Johnson beat his “tough-on-crime” opponent, which is code for saying his opponent wasn’t interested in actually addressing social issues that lead to a majority of crimes, but rather just took that classic stance of locking a lot of motherfuckers up for extremely long sentences in order to look tough, especially if said motherfuckers have black or brown skin or names that are difficult to pronounce, but not so much for suit-wearing fair-skinned people whose poor families won’t be able to enjoy their Christmas holidays with their loved ones that the justice system was just so harsh on! Mr. Johnson, I don’t live in Chicago so my opinion on what you do is meaningless, but as a relatively well-off white guy whose privilege has kept him safe at every stage in his life, you have my full endorsement to address and aid those at the “street” level to reduce the inclination toward criminal conduct as a means of survival, and to be tough on the suit-wearing white panzies who use their signatures on contracts to rob entire neighborhoods blind.
What do you mean? I only see blue tories and red tories here
I hate Keith’s “electable centrism” so he deserves every free seat he spits out at the people, if only the alternatives weren’t terrible too
That’s right: expelled. As in they no longer hold office. Because they joined protesters seeking gun control after six people, three of them 9-year-old children, were killed in a mass shooting.
A third lawmaker survived an attempt to expel him by a single vote.
Meanwhile, this is the shit-stain that should be expelled.
