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.
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?

This is not correct; they haven't been convicted of anything yet.
They're out on the equivalent of bail awaiting trial. That they are not wearing ankle tags or the like and are allowed to travel was thanks to pressure from the US Government, though.

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

Probably child rapists and sex traffickers stick together.

Well of course not, because only the most true of alpha males accept the law and it's punishment.
Probably...

The Tates probably can't afford the bribe

I remember this. IIRC, shorty after they arrived back they were spotted out in Maimi nightclubs with some other right wing fools dancing to Kanye's nazi song that someone in the party had requested from the DJ.

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.

That appears to be an open question that would be an entire article unto itself. As in, not the focus of this article.

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.

The article was only about 4 short paragraphs when I posted it four hours ago, with zero analysis. It's got a lot more now.

That's pretty funny
IAmYouButYouDontKnowYet@reddthat.com · 12 pts · 26d
I thought these guys were already in jail.
And also they look like they bang each other.

You can't spell "Andrew fucks Tristan" without "incest"

You’re thinking of the island boys

US next presidents will have time in jail to write mein kampf… until their pardon by the pedo facho rapist in chief.

The charges are in the UK, which is trying to extradite them, which is why they were arrested

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..
