We have real Americans being held in the DC Gulag that are more deserving of all possible efforts to restore their Freedom.
Russia can keep Griner.
What a stupid mutt to think she could bring drugs to Russia.
I hear they are still working on a trade.....wish it wasn’t so.
Free ALL Jan 6 prisoners!!!!
Otherwise, the US elites have NO right to complain about what is happening to Brittney Griner!!!!
FJB: I hereby pardon Brittney for all crimes
White House: Um Joe you can’t pardon her for crimes committed abroad
I keep hearing that this sentence is an outrage, that it’s because Griner is an American, because Griner is black, because Griner is trans, because of the Uke war and on and on.
How different is Griner’s sentence than those of other foreign nationals of any color, sex or whatever for the same crime? Is Russia normally a pushover for drug crimes when those factors are not part of the case?
Try to get purple hair Me-Again Rappinho to go bust her out, lock ‘em both up together. They’d like that.
The upside for her is she’ll be around mostly women all the time. She also will have some time to pick up a second language. Gotta look for the positives here.
At least she won’t be subjected to the Star-Spangled Banner for the next nine years.
Black Lies Matter!
I know we will have to struggle, but America will continue without her .... it’s a struggle but we will overcome.
She (he) can tell all the Russian prisoners how bad America is.
Tell all you folks what.
I’d have her outta there in a deal with the Russians within a day.
Offer them up George Soros for her.
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.
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.
I’m thinking America doesn’t seem so bad now...
“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.
As you know, Griner was in Russia to play basketball for UMMC Ekaterinburg.
She was paid $1 million per season in Russia!
According to Cherelle Griner, Brittney Griner plays overseas because of the WNBA’s pay. Griner reportedly earns $1 million per season to play for UMMC Ekaterinburg.
