    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 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.

    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.

          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.

          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]

        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.’

      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.

        I’d be very surprised to learn that the US doesn’t have an extradition treaty with the UK. Given present circumstances, not sure if matters.

          The US does have an extradition treaty with the UK but they also refuse to adhere to it. Remember that lady that ran a kid over in the UK and then escaped to the US? They refused to send her over to stand trial for her crimes.

            She was a diplomat’s wife and possibly also an agent for one of the three-letter agencies. It was still unjust, but covered by different treaties.

      When Dickfingers dies I will have a party as well

      The only thing is that in my life I’ve seen George Bush and clowns, then lived through two Dickfinger presidencies, what’s to say they don’t elect someone else corrupt and retarded in a few elections time? There’s no sign that Americans are getting smarter

        In fact, the evidence clearly points to Americans getting dumber.

        As an American, we’ll be lucky if we still have a country in 10 or 20 years. Assuming Dickfingers doesn’t try to nuke everyone before he finally dies.
