Brittney Griner was found guilty of drug charges in a Russian court on Thursday. Shortly after being found guilty, she was sentenced to nine years in Russian prison. The prosecution was reportedly seeking nine and a half years.
Griner is being used as a political pawn. Now, with the sentencing, it forces the hand of President Joe Biden to do something sooner rather than later and get the American citizen out of Russian prison.
The American justice system is far from perfect, but this outrageous sentencing should put things into perspective for everyone, including LeBron James, about how unjust other justice systems around the world operate.
America is attempting to trade the Merchant of Death Viktor Bout for the American basketball star, but it’s unclear if that’s going to happen or not.
Immediately after the sentencing, Biden released a statement saying “Russia is wrongfully detaining” Griner.

These dumb asses that go over seas to foreign countries and think their rights follow them.... She needs 50 years in prison..
Here’s a lesson: don’t go to tyrannical countries. If you do, don’t do stupid things like smuggle drugs or rip down posters of the Tyrant “Deity”.
I have zero sympathy or concern for this idiot.
I have no love for this person because of her disrespect of the US.
That said, It would please me if Griner was released as I do not believe in the war on drugs mentality... treatment, not punishment is the correct course for drug users IMO.
Griner is now a pawn in a superpower confrontation, not a fun situation at all.
Oil is generally 2-4 times as potent as flower
Flower is generally 18-32% THC
Oil is generally 50-89% THC
If Griner had a vape cartridge in its luggage, then it was most likely either a .5 gram or 1 gram
“...because Griner is black, because Griner is trans, because...”
Huh? Griner isn’t trans... she practices Lesbianism™️ and she’ll play hoops, and hang with the other L™️ inmates, maybe even hold clinics for the IGBA (Inter Gulag Basketball Association).
If that’s what it takes to make the progs happy let’s send more of them to Russia with hash oil in their luggage. :)
Then today’s hash oil is a lot crappier than what we smoked in the ‘70s.
she is a biological woman, a butt ugly one, but still a real woman.
I’d rather see our citizens released from DC prisons.
They are truly innocent of grievous transgressions yet being punished for contesting a stolen election.
Why? She knew she was wrong to take dope into Russia. But she did it. She wasn’t in over her head, she has been to Russia before.
Griner’s problem is arrogance and that is what did her in. She is certainly not worth much in a trade.
I didn’t say she was trans. I said that’s one of the reasons I’ve heard given for how harsh her sentence is.
Baylor sold their souls to win some football and basketball games.
I don’t think our leaders should get involved.
They won’t when a military person gets into trouble on a private trip.
THIS! A patriot was recently sentenced to almost 8 years for daring to walk outside the capitol.
Let it rot in a Russian cell.
Russians are truly equal opportunity.
I’m thinking America doesn’t seem so bad now...
Oh that's GOOD.
The quick mass production aspect is probably to blame for that, plus they add other oils to keep it flowable for longer periods of time.
Yep, the old days of two drops on a cig are long gone
I’m not very familiar with today’s products. I was thinking it might need to be different for a vape pen. The stuff we wiped onto a joint was as thick as gear lube.
“In fact he should do nothing for the time being.”
Biden has to throw long balls for the sake of the deep state.
I agree, he should do nothing for a few months, maybe never anything. Not sure Brittney’s freedom is worth freeing an international killer who, if free, will likely kill again.
How are the kin and friends of his future victims going to feel thinking that it happened in exchange for Brittney’s freedom.
Brittney, if this exchange and subsequent killing took place, deserves no blame for any consequences.
