The daily beast opinion piece seems to be explicitly avoiding illustrating any the nuance. I'm not confident in my interpretation and I make a lot of assumptions, including that the Supreme Court is operating in good faith. What I do know is that the daily beast fails to even attempt to contextualize even one instance of the quote or even link to an oral transcript or the court's decision. I assume this is because it would weaken the piece's ability to motivate whether the goal is the author's/editors' political aims or incentives to drive interaction, or both.

Oral arguments transcript.
Links including to the decision itself here.

Thanks for that, context matters.

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?
It's 2022, I find it entirely believable that a toxic narcissist accidentally doxxed his exact current location via pizza box/video, providing one final missing legal prerequisite to executing a warrant or whatever (because with all of Tate's flexing of his wealth and gaudy villa, I find it difficult to believe that Romanian authorities didn't know where the compound was before). Just as believable as that information simply being drawn from the metadata in his video response in a less entertaining way.

I don't care which of the versions really happened because both still mean that a toxic narcissist facilitated his arrest by trying to dunk on a climate activist teenager and failing...because of his narcissism.

Hell, I wouldn't even care if the timing was coincidental and an already-ongoing investigation just happened to have a warrant executed on the very same day, because the internet has already generated the finest memes, and the story of this is going to be that an afwul and sad and toxic human shitheap owned himself so incredibly hard that literally the entire internet is mocking him.

He came back from getting cancelled off all social media because there was a way for him to weaponize and spin it for his base.
There is no way for him to spin and weaponize this.

What I also feel is missing from all the reporting is a connection to organized crime/illegal gambling/money laundering for/with the Romanian mob, most of what I'm reading seems just a hastily-done rehash of his first detention regarding human trafficking earlier this year.
Since then, he has tagged on literally bragging about doing all of those things with/for the Romanian mob, and there's one thing the mafia is really stoked about, it's a guy tweeting/streaming an ourcrimes.txt on literally every social media outlet that would still have him.

Further to this, this is the exact same house that was raided earlier this year, they knew where he lived and everything!! That's the raid where two women were found on the property saying they were held against their will. It's a fun narrative being spun on twitter about how he got raided again but like it's pretty obvious that this is an actual ongoing thing rather than "he made funny meme video we got him!" It's a culmination of a year's worth of investigation and prep and it's just funny this exact sequence of events unfolded.

As I said in my post further up, I think it's entirely probable and believable that him posting the video provided the prerequisite for the execution of a raid by confirming not just his location, but also his current location.

And again, I don't care how all of it exactly went down, because the bottom line is that Andrew Tate owned himself hard enough to be mocked into eternity, and that is a net good.

/edit:
@getfiscal can also eat my whole rear end for being the guy that reminds everyone "INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY", and mocking people for wanting to believe something good and funny happened in 2022 when the biggest shitheel on the planet gets arrested in the funniest timing possible.

Like, this isn't your old man showing you a heart-warming clip of a puppy being rescued from an oil puddle and you cautiously pointing out that there are countless content-mills on the internet putting animals in horrifying states to "rescue" them for the clicks.

This is Andrew Tate getting what's coming to him in the funniest way possible.

This is a good thing.

Be happy about it.

Man's done more crimes in Romania than anywhere else he's lived, I'm not sure any country would want to insist on him being extradited to a place where he'd maybe serve a year or two of time instead of him serving a shitton of time in Romania.

Those are some good rear end posts though

e: I think you might be getting fiscaled here, the first post is just pretty standard posting like the average person who smarmily says "innocent until proven guilty", you got got here
the second layer of the post is the invocation of the Constitution, which is supposed to ensnare people into saying "the US Constitution does not apply in Romania" etc
the third layer of the post is that there is no 23rd Article of the US constitution, it's actually Article 23, Subsection 11 of the Romanian Consitution that quite literally says "11) Any person shall be presumed innocent till found guilty by a final decision of the court."

you can usually see the entire spread of people getting tripped up in the replies

I choose to believe it was all of these things, except that someone on the GRETA task force saw A. Tate take a run at Greta Thundberg and embarass himself.
