WNBA star Brittney Griner has already been detained in Russia for 118 days. A timeline for her return home, according to a report from the Russian news agency TASS, has gotten longer.

TASS reported Tuesday that a Russian court extended Griner's pretrial detention, forcing her to remain in custody until at least July 2. The Khimki district court of the Moscow region has already extended Griner's pretrial detention twice.

Russia's TASS news agency reported reported that American basketball player Brittney Griner's pre-trial detention in Russia has been extended to July 2 at the request of investigators https://t.co/99NGuFIWZ5

The only thing stupider would be to bring THC into Singapore.

When the State Department got involved and "demanded" Griner's release, they probably made things worse for her.

I haven’t followed this one closely, without prosecuting her for her idiot beliefs, how sure are we that she was carrying drugs?

THC in vaping cartridges. Not sure why that’s hard to believe. A WNBA star is apparently a bigger star in Russia than here. Arrogant athletes are hardly rare.

Russia has every right in the world to do whatever they want to do in this case. This idiot violated their drug laws and she needs to pay a penalty for that. Moscow is not Seattle.

Griner is one of those WNBA bitches who hate America and carries a huge woke chip on its shoulder. I get great satisfaction knowing those types are being taught a lesson. Just wish that Pink-haired soccer Rapino was getting the same treatment. Another bull-dyke who hates America. /spit

Every time an American complains about this, the Russian government should point out the number of Americans in a DC jail in solitary confinement for trespassing still awaiting trial. They should even call it a gulag. Then say in the best Greta voice, “How dare you!”

Russia does not celebrate illicit drugs or homosexuality like we do here in the West. Seventy years of communism followed by twenty years of moral collapse cleared the field for a resurgence of Christian faith and values that we once championed but have recently renounced. The bulldyke should have thought twice before trying to smuggle hashish into Moscow. Their laws, not ours.

She hates America and loves Communism. Hope she enjoys her extended field trip to the Land of Lenin.
