MOSCOW, Russia — Houston native and WNBA star Brittney Griner has been freed as part of a prisoner exchange with Russia, according to the White House.

Griner was exchanged for Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout, labeled the “Merchant of Death.” This was a one-for-one swap.

American and Michigan corporate security executive Paul Whelan was not part of the exchange.

This is a bad trade!! It is like if the Red Sox traded Babe Ruth to the Yankees for cash and Jeff Bagwell to the Astros for nothing on the same Day...

Trump would have gotten several Americans out instead of Joe just getting one pothead tranny

Brave Brittney. Survived the gulag. Her book is being written for her as I type this.

The book will blame Trump and his great “friend” Putin.

I think so. That was a rather good movie. Usually Nicholas Cage overacts and ruins the performance, but this time he played it just right: Sly, crafty, mostly remorseless, driven, sarcastic when speaking to the agents trying to trap him with arrest.. really good job on his part.

Too bad Slow Joe didn't care enough to free Paul Whelan. He didn't check off enough minority boxes.


BLM.....”Black Lesbians Matter”

Another part of that irony is that Biden is releasing a rogue terrorist arms merchant for a druggie bull dyke, while coming for our 2’nd Amendment.

I don’t even recognize this country any longer. When did we start trading with terrorist states?

Don’t take this the wrong way ... just to keep to the facts - Paul Whelan got a Bad Conduct discharge for stealing over $10k and forging his own records and e-mails from his superiors (he recommended himself to be awarded the Legion of Merit).

Saying he served honorably is not strictly true.

Brittney Griner overcame bullying and other adversities because of her height and used it as advantage to play basketball.

She deserves respect for somethings and disdain for others.
