Might do him some good. Come home, find a girl, settle down and have a family.

Antony Blinken released a statement following news of her transfer to a penal colony.
Brittney Griner’s legal team said the WNBA star has been moved to a penal colony in Russia after the appeal of her nine-year prison sentence for drug possession was rejected.
The move came Nov. 4, and her team doesn’t have any information “on her exact current location or her final destination,” the statement from her legal team read.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken released a statement Wednesday reiterating that the nation is working to secure Griner’s release and calling the move to a penal colony another “injustice” committed against Griner by the Russian state.
“Following a sham trial and the unjust sentencing of Brittney Griner, Moscow is transferring her from a prison in Moscow to a remote penal colony,” Blinken said. “It is another injustice layered on her ongoing unjust and wrongful detention......
The U.S. and Russia continue to discuss a prisoner swap, per reports, in which Griner and Whelan—an American who was sentenced to 16 years in prison for alleged espionage—would be exchanged for Viktor Bout, a convicted arms dealer serving a 25-year sentence in America.

A statement?! I'm sure Vladimir Putin is terrified. I have zero sympathy for Griner - she put herself in this position. And she is now at the mercy of the Russian justice system, such as it is. When you go to another country you have to respect their laws. End of story. Sure she s being used as a political pawn, but again, she put herself in that position.
was he sent to mens prison?
“Brittney Griner’s legal team said the WNBA star”
She is only a “star” because she is in Russian prison, otherwise only 6 people
would even know her name worldwide
Trump should wait a year, then very publicly secure her release

What ever. The more the US makes a public high profile issue the more lumps Griner is going to get both literally and metaphorically. Russia is a very large place and I am sure there are still some labor regime penal colonies above the Arctic Circle. This stupid,ugly, America hating, racist bitch is going to be in for a very hard time. What a pity if she has an accident while felling a tree.(smirk)
So he basically just sent a strongly worded letter with nothing to back it. Yeah that’ll work.
Why would she want to come back to the US? Isn’t she afraid of being triggered by the National Anthem?
If Trump was President, she would be home.
And, she would not even say, “Thank you.”
breaking rocks in Siberia might do him some good
sometimes a child needs to be sent to the wood shed
I guess the dog also ate her homework.
“Following a sham trial and the unjust sentencing of Brittney Griner”
Yeah, keep on insulting the Russian courts, that would be my legal strategy too. /s
LOL. Okay. The Moral of the story is, when you’re going to a communist country, don’t pack your bags in a hurry. If she wasn’t a star basketball player, they would have checked her bags before she would have been allowed on “da plane, da plane.”
On an importance scale of 0 to 100, this rates at -4,321.
No one gives a shi...Biden...about the idiot.
FU Blinken.
I keep saying that Blinken needs to offer Russia something they want to put in prison, like Soros.
Those other guys are not relevant to them now.
Why? A tranny mentally deranged male playing basketball in the Worthless NBA (WNBA) serves what purpose for Trump?
Leave him in Russia at a labor camp. Send a real message.
