Kickboxing Bully Who Trolled Greta Thunberg Arrested On Charges Of Human Trafficking And Rape

Kickboxer/misogynist Andrew Tate is getting hit with a major a dose of karma just two days after he tried to troll climate activist Greta Thunberg on social media and is now facing years in prison after being arrested in Romania on charges of human trafficking and rape.

The Daily Beast reports that Tate was among four people arrested.

Romania’s Directorate for the Investigation of Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT) confirmed in a statement that cops raided five homes tied to four suspects as part of an investigation into organized crime, human trafficking and rape. It did not name the four suspects but said two were Romanian citizens and two were British citizens, who allegedly kept at least six women captive in houses surrounding Bucharest, where they were sexually assaulted and forced to produce pornography for social media under threats of violence.

Romanian newspaper Gândul was among several local outlets to identify the two British citizens as Tate, a British-American kickboxer better known for his grossly misogynistic online persona and for flaunting his 33 cars, as well as his brother, Tristan. Reuters also obtained photos of Tate’s arrest, showing the online personality in a black leather jacket and hoodie being perp-walked by police in tactical gear.

Gândul and Romania TV obtained footage showing the handcuffed Tate being led away by cops—and Tristan in police custody wearing the same outfit as one of the blurred suspects seen in official footage of the raids released by DIICOT.

On Tuesday, Tate became the laughingstock of Twitter after he sent a tweet to Thunberg in which he bragged about the many expensive gas-guzzling sportscars he owns.

That led Thunberg to masterfully burn Tate to the ground with her reply:

In a pathetic attempt to regain the upper hand, Tate posted this retort:

Ironically, that posting may have helped lead police in Romania directly to Tate.

In a video rant he uploaded to Twitter, in which he smoked a cigar and tried to brush off the online spat, he unwittingly displayed a pizza box from a local pizza chain—alerting authorities looking for him to his presence in the country.

Karma is a mean son of a bitch, huh, Tate?

Kickboxer Tries To Troll Greta Thunberg And Gets His A*s (And Other Body Parts) Handed To Him

Swedish environmentalist Greta Thunberg laid one hell of a nasty burn on kickboxer Andrew Tate, and the internet is cheering her brilliant clapback to his pathetic attempt at trolling.

Tate, it should be noted, started the dustup with Thunberg, HuffPost notes.

Tate tweeted Thunberg directly on Tuesday to tell her: “I have 33 cars.”

He then explained in detail how large his car engines are, before adding: “This is just the start.

“Please provide your email address so I can send a complete list of my car collection and their respective enormous emissions.”

It probably won’t surprise you to learn that Tate is a misogynistic jerk, as The Guardian recently reported.

Andrew Tate says women belong in the home, can’t drive, and are a man’s property.

He also thinks rape victims must “bear responsibility” for their attacks and dates women aged 18–19 because he can “make an imprint” on them, according to videos posted online.

In other clips, the British-American kickboxer – who poses with fast cars, guns and portrays himself as a cigar-smoking playboy – talks about hitting and choking women, trashing their belongings and stopping them from going out.

“It’s bang out the machete, boom in her face and grip her by the neck. Shut up bitch,” he says in one video, acting out how he’d attack a woman if she accused him of cheating. In another, he describes throwing a woman’s things out of the window. In a third, he calls an ex-girlfriend who accused him of hitting her – an allegation he denies – a “dumb hoe”.

Thunberg had the perfect comeback to Tate, and she shared it so the entire internet could enjoy.

Judging by the responses, the vast majority of Twitter users loved it.

Foreign Policy Fox News WTF?!

Tucker Carlson Says Lindsey Graham’s ‘Personal Life’ Explains His Support For Ukraine

According to Fox News host Tucker Carlson, the reason Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is so eager to give more military aid to Ukraine as it continues to fight against a Russian invasion is because of the senator’s “personal life.”

Mediaite reports that Carlson made his comments on his show Thursday evening, seeming to suggest that Graham’s sexuality might be in question. The senator is 67 and has never been married, leading some to say that he’s a closeted homosexual.

“So, the other day Lindsey Graham came out–” Carlson began, taking a long pause “–the Republican from South Carolina, and said that he agreed with Joe Biden and Zelensky.

Carlson then played a clip of Graham remarking:

“How does this war end? When Russia breaks and they take Putin out. Anything short of that, the war’s gonna continue. To ask the Ukrainians to give Russia part of the country after all this death and destruction is not gonna happen. To signal a ceasefire, Russia will take the opportunity to rearm and come at them again. So, we’re in it to win it and the only way you’re gonna win it is to break the Russian military and have somebody in Russia take Putin out.”

That led Carlson to tell his viewers:

“So, it’s really hard to overstate how crazy this is. And you don’t want to play shrink and wonder about, you know, what emptiness at the core of Lindsey Graham’s personal life causes him to identify so strongly with a country he’s not a citizen of. Something’s going on there.”

According to Carlson, continuing to assist the Ukrainians will only lead to wider conflict, including a catastrophic war between the U.S. and Russia.

“What happens then?. Well, the world’s largest land mass falls into ungovernable chaos.”

Leave it to Fox News to try and slag a member of the GOP simply because they don’t like his foreign policy aims. What’s next? Will Carlson begin suggesting that Graham is a transsexual? With Fox, you just never know how low they’ll go.

‘Stop The Steal’ Founder Rips Marjorie Taylor Greene As A ‘Trailer Park Hood Rat’

You may never have heard of Ali Alexander, founder of the “Stop the Steal” movement that was instrumental in many of the lawsuits and protests surrounding the 2020 election and efforts to overturn the will of the voters by declaring ballots in several key battleground states invalid.

Alexander is described like this on Wikipedia:

An American far-right activist, social media personality, and conspiracy theorist. Alexander is an organizer of Stop the Steal, a campaign to promote the false conspiracy theory that widespread voter fraud led to Joe Biden’s victory over Donald Trump in the 2020 United States presidential election. He also helped to organize one of several rallies that preceded the January 6 United States Capitol attack.

And now Alexander is slamming Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) for her criticism of Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) in the debate over who should be the next Speaker of the House when Republicans take control of the lower chamber in January.

While Greene is all-in on seeing House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) being Speaker, Boebert is opposed to him being elected by the GOP caucus, with the Colorado Republican recently remarking:

“I don’t believe in [electing McCarthy], just as I don’t believe in … Jewish space lasers.”

That led Greene to respond:

“Lauren refuses to endorse President Trump, she refuses to support Kevin McCarthy, and she childishly threw me under the bus for a cheap sound bite … Americans expect conservative fighters like us to work together to Save America and that is the only mission I’m 100% devoted to, not high school drama and media sound bites.”

Alexander came to Boebert’s defense, posting a nasty take about Greene on his Telegram account:

“MTG is now attacking Rep. Lauren Boebert like a trailer park hoodrat”

Greene hasn’t yet addressed Alexander’s posting, but knowing her, it’s just a matter of time before she feels the need to do so.

Don Jr. Gets Slammed For Calling Ukrainian President Zelensky A ‘Welfare Queen’

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed a joint session of Congress on Wednesday, telling U.S. lawmakers that “Your money is not charity. It is an investment in the global security and democracy that we handle in the most responsible way.”

But despite the fact that Russia continues to attack Ukraine and kill innocent civilians, some Republicans have been critical of the U.S. commitment to our Ukrainian allies.

One of those is none other than the son of failed, one-term, twice-impeached loser ex-president Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr., who called Zelensky a “welfare queen” for daring to seek more military aid from the U.S.

On Twitter, Don Jr. posted this hateful missive:

“Zelensky is basically an ungrateful international welfare queen.”

The “welfare queen” slur was coined by Ronald Reagan during his first run for the White House in the 1970s. It was a direct attack on antipoverty programs that began during the presidency of Lyndon B. Johnson to help rectify the injustices that led to the civil rights movement.

While Don Jr. is certainly entitled to his opinion, no matter how ignorant his take on the Russia-Ukraine conflict, he’s not exactly the one to be throwing stones at others, as Twitter users quickly reminded him.
