Seems pretty relevant.

Perhaps avoiding the truth? Hm?

I'll bite. They're US citizens and as such, should face justice, if they're guilty, in a US court. This is also an exercise in the soft power people are insisting Trump is giving away. The fact that he got those 2 vile pieces of shit out of Romania after he had Vance shit all over them tells us that we still have plenty of international influence even if we piss off Euroshitters

People who voted for Trump and Musk on the basis of their "economic and business acumen" are genuinely some of the dumbest pieces of shits on this planet.

I was huffing hopium the other day about them targeting the DoD, but talk is cheap. This is action and is far more indicative of their actual stance, which is blatantly demonic.

Remember the discussion we had about SNAP being restricted to certain foods based on various criteria, like, for example, NOVA classification?

Well, looks like that rhetoric made it to the ears of big pharma, because Novo Nordisk (makers of Ozempic) are now trying to make a "Nova 2.0" that has quite literally nothing to do with the original researchers that defined NOVA classification, and they're making it an explicit goal to allow "some healthy ultra processed foods":

"Right now, many are focusing on ultra-processed foods – those that you cannot make in
your own kitchen, but are factory-made by adding, for example, modified starch,
flavourings and colours, emulsifiers and various E-numbers,” says Arne Astrup.
“However, we are at risk of demonising healthy foods such as some types of cereals that
you cannot make at home but are packed with whole grains and fibres”. In response, the
Novo Nordisk Foundation has launched a project to develop a more nuanced version of
the so-called NOVA classification that rates the degree of processing. NOVA 2.0 is
being developed by a group at the University of Copenhagen in collaboration with the
world’s leading researchers in the field and will focus on health rather than the
production process.”

If you ask me, they're scrambling to redefine NOVA to do exactly what I said they'd do in my last post about this:

If you allow some arbitrary nutrient criteria for EBT, then the only thing that's gonna change is that the manufacturers are going to either shift existing formulas, create a variant of that formula to fit EBT, or lobby as hard as satan himself to make the cutoff so pathetic that it's effectively useless.

Read up on literally every single food rating system in the world, like Australia's star system or the EU's nutri-score, it's gamed to fuck, and makes zero sense.

EDIT:
They're working with the bill gates foundation, and they're using proxies instead of hard data for their studies.
They're also pushing the vegan/less/no-meat agenda and the "green revolution". Yet one more byproduct of the Green New Deal.
NovoNordisk Website / Archive

The research definition on the university's website clearly says that their motivation is "the UPF also includes mass produced bread-based products, which can have a high content of wholegrain or fibres and thus be beneficial for health."
They're trying to destroy a classification process of how processed a food is because bread has grain and fiber and that's somehow a good thing?
Nigga, how many NOVA 1 and 2 foods have significant amounts of gluten? Now how many people nowadays require eating gluten-free?
Are you really going to ruin something fairly objective for trash carbs like fucking bread? Kill yourself. Now.

It was brought up numerous times already, this isn't the gotcha you think it is. Trump shouldn't have had anything to do with the Tate retards and it's hard to fathom why he'd even entertain the idea of involving himself with "influencers" after Kanye tried setting him up with Fuentes.

And yet allowing two grifting sex criminals to go free still sounds more palatable than spending half our tax dollars in Africa and Europe and importing infinity browns, go figure.

The left has "professional activists", organizers and publicity firms and the right doesn't really have that. COVID definitely had push back from conservatives but it was more decentralized and not really organized. You are most likely correct though in saying a good portion of Americans don't want to deal with politics.

What the extreme left has is Government officials that support, fund and protect their radical and violent ideology. They are also entrenched in the media and widely control information through state sponsored censorship. It's the only thing that keeps them relevant. The average leftist is willing to look the other way and vote Democrat because abortions, alphabet garbage, or black/racism. In general they don't think much farther than their emotional responses to those issues.

The right as whole does not support radical ideology and is unwilling to back a Government, party or candidate that identifies, or is identified, as "far right". There really isn't a unified Republican political entity of the type that the Democrats have. Basically what we're seeing today is Trump dragging them to victory. This is why they are BARELY coming around about the J06 stuff, despite it being obvious from day one it was bs. The average right wing voter concerns themselves with economy and what their kids are learning.

As far as COVID, there was bitching about it yeah. The political class of the right did almost nothing when it came to opposing it at a Federal level besides whine about it. What they mostly do is tread water for votes and try to maintain a status qou of power.

One thing the left understands is power is top down. The political class ITSELF organizes riots, demonstrations and protests. It funds them and uses it as an obvious extension of itself. The right doesn't really acknowledge this, nor does it have an equivalent structure in place to implement it. Any equivalent form from the right is grassroots and local with almost no support or protections from politicians

Lots of rumor over it so I asked the chatbot. Tl;dr, fake until proven gay.
As of February 27, 2025, Donald Trump has not pardoned Andrew Tate. The idea seems to stem from rumors and speculation rather than any official action. Trump, as the current U.S. President, has the authority to issue pardons for federal crimes, but Andrew Tate’s legal troubles are primarily in Romania, where he faces charges of human trafficking, rape, and forming a criminal gang—offenses outside U.S. jurisdiction. A presidential pardon wouldn’t apply to foreign cases like this.
Recent reports, including from the Financial Times and Newsweek, indicate that members of Trump’s administration, such as envoy Richard Grenell, have pressed Romanian authorities to lift travel restrictions on Tate and his brother Tristan while they await trial. This has fueled speculation about Trump’s intentions, especially given Tate’s vocal support for Trump and his popularity among certain right-wing circles. However, there’s no evidence of a pardon being issued or even formally proposed. Tate remains under judicial control in Romania, and his case is ongoing.
The rumor likely persists due to Tate’s public alignment with Trump and posts on X suggesting optimism about his situation after Trump’s 2024 election win. Still, no concrete action has materialized. It’s just talk for now—nothing official backs it up.
