Andrew Tate 'not welcome' in Florida, Ron DeSantis says

The bar was raised while Tate was in Romania. He’s gonna have to step it up to fit in now. A couple of swastika neck tattoos ought to do it.
You may be on to something. maybe there's a branigan's law about rapists and pedophiles in Florida. Once you hit a certain limit the state just stops accepting new ones.
Trump must be back at Mar-A-Lago rn
- Trump's quotes are indistinguishable from Brannigan's. There's even gameified versions of this online
I hear Washington DC is taking applications
- Do I hear Secretary of Women's Health?
Seems like there’s a lot of room for that in FL.
its called virtue/performative signalling, he will probably quietly allow them into the state when all the news blows over.

Weird, he’s their exact target market…???

I wouldve figured he'd be hiring him as his campaign manager.

I’m a Florida resident. Ron DeSantis sucks. Let me preface it. However, about 1-2x a year he does something that actually doesn’t suck.

"a broken clock is right twice a day"
I wouldn't be surprised if DeSantis is actually afraid Tate could take his job
- Well he is term limited as governor, Tate is perfectly aligned with republican values (raped countless women) and he's famous.
  You might be on to something!
- I'd say a rapist could never be a leader.... oh.
Florida just got rid of one pedo/rapist. He doesn't want a replacement.
Every broken clock is right twice a day, more than Ron the santis

What a weird conflict. I don't know who I want to win. Is it possible for them both to lose somehow? Like some kind of -1 sum game?

Send tate to florida. Then get out a saw, and cut Florida away and into the Ocean. Then use ropes to connect Hawaii and Alaska to the mainland.
Now you can claim that only connected states can be states. Also, international no fly, no sail zone 300 miles around florida at any time. No one leaves.
- Bugs had the right idea in 1949.
- The only way in or out is via gay party boat ferry.
- Just wait 20 years. It’ll be underwater.
- Careful with that saw. There are allies there still.
- Alaska is already connected to the mainland?
That's the T Rex option. Like when your two least favorite teams are playing and you want them both to lose. T Rex takes them all out.
- I'm not saying I'm against it, but how do we get a live T. Rex and put it in a position to solve this problem for us?

Trump will probably give them cabinets posts, they seem suitably qualified to join his inner circle.

Department of human trafficking control
- Department
  Of
  United
  Collaborative
  Human-trafficking
  Efficiency
- Department of human trafficking ~~control~~. --FTFY
Likely he will get some labor rights related stuff, then will help in gutting worker's protections in the name of "Hustle culture", after that he will take the blame for the fallout and land into some another position.
We are establishing a department of rape and scams, and these guys know all about it. Look at them now. With a tear in their eyes, the Tate brothers said Mr. Trump we'd be honored to head the department of rape and scams, and we'll be sending you some bitches as soon as possible.

...Trump-hating [Ron DeSantis] has disgraced himself by stating that [Andrew Tate] and [Tristan Tate] are not welcome in Florida!"

Did I miss something? Since when do DeSantis and Trump not align on their shit values?

But also, I mean, it doesn't have to be said, but fuck all of them with a chainsaw.

They align on their values but DeSantis considers himself Trump's rival for the presidency.
- That's what makes his anti-Tate stance exceedingly cute, on so many levels. Not only does he lack the power or will or conviction of his words, but no-one one either side gives two shits what DeSantis has to say on this topic, or any other.
Well, their recruitment along with the Silk Road guy is all part of Trump's plans to start massive human trafficking and drug trafficking organizations. He needs their expertise in human trafficking so he forced Romania to let them come here.
The current node for human trafficking, to help cover where people are being sent, is Guantanamo (and Panama). That's Ron's old stomping grounds. And while I think he's cool with torture of "terrorists," he's not so into mass rape of women, egg farming, genocide to grave rob America. I think he also got freaked out by the Les Miserable song at the Governor's Ball (he cowered) and all the loud loud pushback he's experiencing from people calling in constantly to complain and also the protests.
Or maybe he's just mad they took the spot he wanted.

- Holy Christ... If true, this would be so much darker and more evil than I ever expected from these people.
- You sound like my mom talking about Qanon lol
The difference is that little Rhonda thinks he’s doing good. Trump is malicious.
- And Trump always underestimates people like Pence and DeSantis for being "stiff"
  Anyone else think it's kinda funny Ted Cruz is so unlikable he's been shut out of all their stuff?
That chainsaw reference put some undeletables images in my head...

man when you're too terrible for Florida conservatives to want you there, you know you're a terrible person

Sounds like cabinet material.
I mean... He seems exactly like the kind of person they would want to associate with. He must have spilled a lot of beans while in, or to get out of prison.

Desantis is clearly worried that Andrew Tate will push him out of the running for "biggest piece of shit in the United States"... These guys take that award very seriously

Good to see Romania is deporting criminal immigrants

I have no idea who Andrew Tate is. So I looked him up on Wikipedia, and he seems like the kind of awful person who would be a darling of the MAGAsphere.

Could someone explain to me why DeSantis doesn't want him then?

Desantis has make a huge show of “stopping human traffickers” and there’s no way he can welcome them without being called out on hypocrisy. He can pass this off as a “White House thing” and try to keep his position.
- Being called out on hypocrisy has never stopped a conservative before. Hell, it’s practically required.
- Hypocrisy, no. He views Tate as a threat against him and his position of power somehow.
- So then why was he fine working and knowing Matt Gaetz committed statutory rape and paid for those women to cross state lines. He should have been actively campaigning for him not to be a Florida Congress member.
- there’s no way he can welcome them without being called out on hypocrisy.
  But that doesn't matter anymore. What's the real reason?
........ignorance truely is bliss. I wish I never heard of andrew tate. Oh man, the amount of appauling, cringe inducing things you get to hear from him for the first time???
You know how when you meet someone who's never seen your favorite movie that you've watched 800+ times, and you're jealous they get to see it for the first time?
Yeah, I feel the opposite of that today for you. Like I'm genuinely worried about your mental health if everyone starts sending you videos and quotes of his all at once. I imagine that may cause a mental breakdown.
Competition
This is all you'll ever need to know about Andrew Tate.
My guess is that it's some kind of political turf war between him and Trump. DeSantis wants to be President, after all.

Well, a broken clock is right twice a day

Mine just says 88:88.
- Florida's clock keeps blinking 14:88 for some reason...
- The double nein.

Nice to know that piece of shit has a line in the sand somewhere. 'convicted rapists and human traffickers' is a horrible line to have to get to but at least it's there? Still though, fuck DeSantis.

They still haven't prosecuted Gaetz.
Desantis is amazing. He knows how to lower the bar even as he is endorsing the most easy to realize right thing
They were convicted? Last I'd heard the trial was set for... March?
- Well, guess I don't stay up to date with disgusting trash. I guess I'd assumed they'd already been through court since it was overseas.

I think they are at capacity for rapists with Trump and Gaetz already there.

You gotta be real fucked up for Florida to reject you

ron desantis is the guy who sues disney for some fucking reason

andrew tate is the guy who sold an online university centered around being a rapist.

scratch that, andrew tate is a rapist.

let's ask the gov't of romania

If I had to pick a state to send this asshole to...

Plasma would be my recommendation.

I'm not American, so I don't know: can one state actually bar an American citizen from being in it?

No, they cannot.
- Thanks for clarifying that.
- They could extradite him if he has warrants and they’re willing; but that’s about the only time.
Usually it's prison, else not really
Aside from that, I find it weird that the governor of a state has repeatedly spoken on behalf of the entire state illegitimately declaring what is and isn't welcomed in the state. In the past, he said something about Florida is where woke goes to die. It's a weird thing to do because the governor is the lead executive of a state government, not the cultural voice of the entire state. As far as I can tell, the state legislature decides who and what is welcomed in a state through laws. Aside from that, the population itself would be its own voice. Am I wrong? Does any other governor do that?
Disclaimer: I don't disagree with the Andrew Tate thing, but I find it weird that a governor is making these statements.

But your bestie Joel Greenberg is, Ron?

Sorry, bud, Florida says you're too rapey even for them

On an unrelated note, does anyone else think that Tristan looks like Romanian Ryan Reynolds?

They're not Romanian, they're US-British. They just moved to Romania because they thought police are less likely to investigate sexual assault cases there.
- I know. Perhaps Romanian-looking would have been more accurate.

I guess Ron is mostly upset that they aren't related to their victims.

Oh no! Republicans are NOT going to like That!

why is andrew tate even relevant, i dont know who he is aside from he hates women

I never figured out why Paris Hilton's sex tape was relevant at the time. Before the sex tape she wasn't a public figure, or a celebrity. She was just daughter to the Hilton hotels founder. So why would anyone treat THIS sex tape like the Pam Anderson/Tommy Lee sex tape? Pam and Tommy were both celebrities BEFORE the tape was leaked. But Paris? Nobody knew who she was.
Or the same thing with the Kardashians. Nobody knew them before the sex tape. I still don't know why people would care about them.
I guess what I'm asking here, is did tate ever have a sex tape leaked where some guy came all over his face while he was sucking it off? Apperently if you leak that sex tape, even talentless hacks can become celebrities.
Although......fair play to Paris. She's actually quite smart and doesn't deserve to be labeled in the same camp as tate.

He’s American? I’d assumed, as someone with zero interest in his details, he was Romanian and would simply stay locked in one of their prisons. Do we have to take him? What if we don’t want him either?

The Tate shitheads are dual UK-US citizens. They didn't go to the UK because they're already wanted there. It'll be fun now if the Brits try to extradite them from the US and the Trump administration interferes...

Credit to Ron.

As crazy as the USA is and has sort of always been, I wonder when bounty hunters will start to track people like this over there.

We had lots of terrorist groups here in Europe that fought against politics and stuff, seems like they just pops up when times are bad.

What? They sure went to the right country.
They belong there
