People tell you the dos and don’ts about different regions of the US.
She had to know better.

Figures. The whole regime of manipulators and clowns in DC is a world joke. That won’t stop them from their endless bullying and aggressive rude behavior though.

One would think not taking drugs into most countries, specifically Russia, would be a no brainer. No sympathies.

—”She’ll make big bucks on this. Movie rights, books, speaking tours”

If she returns within a few news cycles, possible.

If the Russians keep her past the sell date, Netflix ain’t buying.

The Russians are too soft—it should be the full ten years.

The defendant issued a non-apology apology and tried the insane Hillary “no intent” bs excuse.

That was an insult to the court.

There are photos showing Griner topless. I believe poster here on freep. If they are legit, it’s a man’s chest. No way that Griner is biologically female.

The “two minutes of hate” against Russia by the Western media is not going to get stalled by releasing this royal person.

They have nothing to gain by currying favor with insane enemies.

Somebody should get a copy of the Russian prisoner paperwork. Pretty sure Russia doesn’t give credence to the whole trans nonsense. Would be especially hilarious if Russia “leaked” that She is definitively a he.

I thought for sure when I went to the USSR on a school trip I’d be busted for smuggling in copies of Kafka.

She’s getting a break. The prosecutor could have gone for the full 10 years!

I don’t understand why Faulkner and FOX were weeping for her, calling her “courageous.” Courageous for daring to smuggle drugs and daring Russians to arrest her? She even admitted it though tried to spin it.

My prediction is he/she is released on January 20, 2025, as Trump is being sworn in for his new term.

I say she/he because some are saying that Brittney was originally a he and got a sex change. I was under assumption this was a female all along. I really don't know for sure and just don't care enough about it to research.

"I did not conspire or plan to commit this crime"

Reminds me of the old Steve Martin "I forgot" routine: "Let's say you're on trial for armed robbery. You simply say to the judge: I forgot armed robbery was illegal."

Brittney Griner: "I forgot drug smuggling was illegal."
