The arrests of the online influencers known for their misogynistic views come after years of investigations in Britain and Romania. The new charges concern offenses dating back to 2010, officials said.

    DeSantis and/or Trump (depending on whether the charges are in state court, federal court, or both) pardon incoming in 3…2…1…

    I hope I’m wrong, but both of them would do that shit with little to no bribes or political pressure needed 😮‍💨🤬

      The charges are in the UK, the arrest was for extradition. Not sure who has what power to block that but I’m not holding my breath that they actually face justice just yet.

        My guess will be if they haven’t already been flown out, Trump will have them delayed somehow so he can use this as a pressure tactic against the new PM.

        But then again, that almost sounds too smart.
