"I like Eastern Europe as a whole because corruption is far more accessible," Tate said. "I find it offensive that a police officer in England will stop me and refuse to take a bribe."
Bet you're missing that guarantee of a speedy trial, huh?

And he's probably right. But, he forgot the first, second and third rule of corruption club. You DO NOT talk about corruption club!

how to tell if someone is nouveau riche or a nepo baby without them telling you
Even then, the clever ones know not to be flashy about crimes.
Sounds like he's still stuck in the 90s. The police used to be corrupt as all hell, but things have slowly improved. Most would probably take a kickback for something very minor, like drinking a beer in a park, but there's too many eyes on them for anything more major.
Just 2 months ago a guy I know came in from Italy, but didn't realize Romania has a zero tolerance policy on drunk driving. He had a single glass of wine and was driving. Police stopped him, asked if he'd been drinking, he said yes. Once he realized how much shit he was in, he tried to bribe them. They added that to the charges. He's now banned from driving in Romania (he had to get a pair of friends from Italy to come pick up his car), but they were nice enough to not cancel his driving license completely.
Cries in north america where drivers can collect DUIs as if they are trying to get a high score.
When I was 19 or 20, I got caught driving without insurance (don't do this) and my license was suspended for six months. Maybe two years later, my friend got pulled over on a DUI. He spent maybe an hour in jail before his parents bailed him out and got his license suspended for six weeks.
Like I said, don't drive without insurance, but I think I was a hell of a lot less likely to kill someone with my car than he was.
It's obscene the revoke a license for insurance. I can understand a fine, maybe impounding the uninsured vehicle until you have proof of insurance.... But suspending the license? That's fucked.
I don't disagree with you. And six months was ridiculously excessive.
Of course, I had to go to work, and the bus didn't even remotely come close to my job, so I drove anyway. I didn't have a choice. I just hoped I didn't get pulled over again, which I thankfully did not.

But think of the shareholders!
Romania has a zero tolerance policy on drunk driving
Like blood alcohol limit is 0.00? Because most countries define a limit that makes you drunk and it ain't zero.
Yup, exactly. Strictly 0.0. There are cases where people have lost their licenses after having one of those little chocolates with the rum-flavored fillings. This was a reaction to a huge wave of deaths due to DUIs.
That's a bit rough. Bread that rises due to the action of yeast contains as much as 1.9% alcohol by volume.
Additionally, the yeast used in bread and cakes contains a residual amount of alcohol. It is impossible to remove the alcohol in the baking process. Therefore eating cakes and bread can set off the breathalyzer by a small percentage.
I'm all for clamping down on drunk driving. But I'm not for making it illegal to drive after eating a sandwich.
Edit: the exhaled air alcohol content is higher, at 0.4mg / l. I assume that's been calibrated to avoid false positives from eating bread.
Traffic police has right to stop and vehicle and test the driver regarding drugs and alcohol consumption. The alcohol limit allowed is 0.00mg/l, if the driver has alcohol content under 0.4mg / l of pure alcohol in the exhaled air, he will be fined, if the alcohol level is higher than 0,40mg/l (0.80g / l of pure alcohol in blood) is punishable by imprisonment to 1 to 5 years.
They're far from the only country to do this. Japan is the same way. Driving after even a drop of alcohol is illegal. It's technically even illegal to operate a bicycle with any alcohol in you.
Huh. So how do they pull over people that had those rum filled candies?
If they get into an accident, or it's a spot check, or something like that they get breathalized.
And this is the sort of "person" conservatives idolize
#maga !!
Oh man, I'd nearly forgotten about small dick energy guy.
What a shame that you were reminded.
Divisive? Let's call him what he is: a dribbling, brain-dead misogynistic cunt grifter (and now potential pedo).
Republican?
I was really figuring myself out when I was in my 20s, and started watching Elliot Hulse videos because I was into fitness, and he seemed to have some half decent ideas (initially) that helped me sort out, to a degree, some of the emotional turmoil I experienced earlier in life. Because of this, I can see how easy it is to buy into the shit Tate sells, especially if you lack critical thinking skills.
Hulse's videos got weirder and weirder and he eventually lost me here: https://youtu.be/FhJbXPvSDKE?si=bvdL-YTtGkBL7iWi&t=220
Just breathe baby
My posture is shit and I tested the leaning back and breathing thing and it did feel pretty good. But yeah, nothing wrong with drawing some inspiration within reason.
Example being Jordan Peterson. Cleaning your room if you can muster the will isn't a bad thing. That doesn't mean pronouns are a Neomarxist plot to control language or that you should only eat meat and get hooked on benzos.
Don't let their perceived expertise in one subject cloud your judgment over other subjects where they haven't the scantest idea what they're talking about. That said, it would be nice if everyone was forced to take a media literacy course or three in schools.
I like to think that alpha males are meant to be surrounded by other alpha males. Prison is the best place for them to gather, no stupid woman in a high-security detention center.
Disgusting shitbag.
Thus always to child fuckers.
In April, the Bucharest Tribunal ruled that the prosecutors’ case file against the four met the legal criteria and that a trial could start but did not set a date for it to begin.
I wonder if the possibility of a future raid was the reason for not setting a trial date. I hope they find even more damning evidence to use against him and he goes down hard.
they made the mistake of insulting or ridiculing someone of the local power structure, because they are culuturally tone deaf. and those guys cant let that slide, because its their reputation that is on the line.
they dont care about what they find at all. its all a huge show so everybody can see what happens if you talk to much smack in someone elses domain.
its a powermove.
if they had managed to make amends to the local hustleculture, they wouldnt have this kind of problem in the first place.
but they didnt show respect, and thats it.
you all watched all these mafia movies, and dont see the sings i n real life????
so, tace care: if they DONT find something, the tatebrothers will STILL be in jail or house detention.
or they will find something, because they will plant it.
someday, they will just let them of the hook without warning or explanation, just to humiliate them.
"you are so unimportantant that i can ignore you know, you bore me."
this will be the day andrew tate has been broken, spiritually. he talked to much strong alpha guy shit and some real man decided to teach him a lesson. its plain as day.
lock him up!
Totally unrelated thought but, I'll never forget, I was browsing YouTube and some streamer was analyzing Tate's discussion with someone.
The streamer said something like "Tate exhibits signs of being an Epistemic Nihilist" I've never been able to forget that.
Seeing the thumbnail makes me really miss playing SWAT4 or old-school Rainbow Six games that were single-player urban counter-terror/hostage rescue sims.
This is just the DEEP STATE going after REAL VOICES! But when Police Officers KILL BLACK KIDS they OBVIOUSLY deserved it!
-Conservatives who ONLY defend Child Rapists and Murderers for some reason!
