What is the maximum sentence in the States for possession of marijuana?
Bet Brittney Griner would love the hear the National Anthem sung now despite all her previous virtue-whining opposition to it. Would probably still take a deceitful, hypocritical knee though.
It confirms the phrase, “ugly American”.
Is this the critter who has spewed anti-American crap for years, but now is begging America to help her? I think not. Embrace the suck.
