Russian trial of American basketball star Brittney Griner opens

[Tommy W.]

Yeah, but we all knew that was coming. They are hoping that the fear of being assigned the usual cut-and-paste slough of -isms will grant them special treatment that wouldn't be given to anybody else. That (sadly) might work on our side, but I am pretty sure the Russians aren't losing sleep over being perceived as insufficiently woke.

I think they laugh at our wokeness.

If we move heaven and earth to free someone for a cannabis offence in Russia while literally thousands have criminal convictions and records for the same crime here. That is f*cked up.

Trump to the rescue again, he got a African American lady out of prison who was serving some rediculous sentence for being involved in a drug deal.

What would be more fuked is if Biden put Kamala on that job.

She has put lots of folks away for a long time for drug charges, that wasn’t Trump, that was Kamala.

Snubbed family of Marine imprisoned in Russia ‘crushed’ Biden called Brittney Griner’s wife




Following a Wednesday White House press statement touting a call President Biden made to the wife of WNBA star Brittney Griner, who is sitting in a Russian jail after pleading guilty to drug charges in Moscow, the sister of a former Marine, imprisoned in Russia on charges of espionage, said she is “astonished” and “crushed” that her family didn’t receive a similar presidential nod of concern.

In December 2018, Paul Whelan was arrested at a Moscow hotel and charged with being a U.S. spy. Though he repeatedly insisted he was innocent, the former soldier was sentenced in June 2020 to 16 years of hard labor in a prison camp that resides in the Republic of Mordovia, according to the Daily Mail.

Brittney Griner, on the other hand, is facing 10 years behind Russian bars after telling authorities that she’d packed her bags in a hurry and didn’t mean to bring two vape cartridges loaded with cannabis oil into their country.


While the Whelan family continues to hear crickets from Pennsylvania Avenue, both President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris made a point of speaking to Brittney Griner’s wife, Cherelle.

If Brittney Griner was transgender, Biden might have declared war.

I'd like to credit myself with being particularly insightful, but the wokerati are so concerned with public perception of their virtue that weaponized accusations of bigotry can make them dance to any tune with near perfect consistency.

If Brittney Griner was transgender

How do you know they're not?

[TolerantLactose]

Biden has not declared war. Duh.

The Biden administration has offered a deal to Russia aimed at bringing home WNBA star Brittney Griner and another jailed American Paul Whelan, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Wednesday.

Jbizz, read that there above buddy. Is this the progress you speak of?

Had it not been for a public type person (maybe even being black/female/gay) a white man would of not even been thought about rotting away in a Russian prison. He should’ve played a sport!

You’ll keep hearing it from me.

No one gives two fuks about a white man especially a poor one.

I read in her statement that she was not “ read her rights”, I laughed hysterically, welcome to authentic Marxist totalitarian society, and this fool and many others rail against the very system that allows freedom to flourish, the United States, I hope the next time she kneels is to kiss the ground stepping off the plane in the greatest experiment in self governing the world has ever seen, the United States of America!

And yes I’m aware we’re far from perfect

Yeah Thomas, that was pretty funny.. She seems entitled. She played a stupid game and got a stupid prize..

I am not against getting her home, but I am not about her butting in line. Bitch just got there, hasn't even been found guilty or sentenced yet.

There are many more Americans that have been in foreign jails for a lot longer, get them home first and when her number comes up, book a flight, until then she can do the time.


Edit: IMO she is definitely not worth trading an arms dealer for. That's ridiculous.

Kneel when the anthem is being played - rot in jail bitch.

Assault the Capitol after an election - nothing to see here.

Criticizing our country/policies/leaders is one of the basic principles our country was/is built on. I and you might not like the way she and others do it but it was peaceful and harmless. You know what else allows freedom to flourish in our self governing system? Peaceful transfer of power.

On November 7, 1983, far-left activists Laura Jane Whitehorn and Linda Evans placed a bomb in the U.S. Capitol that tore through the second floor Senate wing in an attempt to assassinate Republican Senators.

Was nothing to see there either.

What do you think should've happened in1983 that didn't?

There was an investigation, arrests, convictions and prison sentences.

much like 1-6 except there wasn’t a bogus “committee”. It seems people have forgotten that there were ever issues at the capitol previously and there were several more.

[pharmamarketer]

Has she tried kneeling or walking out of the Russian courtroom?

Exactly. America isn't so bad now.

I never said for her to rot in jail, I used the metaphor of her kneeling, when she gets off the Plane here in America

I certainly didn’t mention or imply anything about Jan 6 or peaceful transfer of power

I never said she couldn’t criticize either

I have no idea where you came up with the response you have

That’s pretty mean spirted, these athletes beat the piss out of thier bodies all it was for is her knee.

But that’s fuking law and order you ya.

These American athletes need to learn to just say NO when someone wants them to go play a sport in these fuked places, to appease gubmit. Escpecially these Merica haters.

She is a victim though, sports wreck people, the parents, coaches push them, then they end up drug addicts from the pain.

Not mean spirited at all, it's being honest.


Do you actually believe the bullsh!t you exude?

She wasn't an amatuer playing for the olympics, she was a pro player making big bucks..

Griner reportedly makes $1 million a year overseas playing for UMMC Ekaterinburg in the Russian Premier League

She was there for the bucks homie, not because she was pushed anywhere.

She is not addicted to cannabis, educate yourself.

She decided to smuggle cannabis into a country that has tough laws against that. She knew better. She rolled the dice and lost. She isn't a victim, she was stupid.

Now she has to pay the piper.



Learn to spell FFS, it's like talking to Elmer Fudd sometimes...

Former President Donald Trump suggested that the proposed prisoner swap between Russia and the United States that would return jailed WNBA star Brittney Griner in exchange for a Russian arms dealer "doesn’t seem like a very good trade."

"She knew you don’t go in there loaded up with drugs, and she admitted it," Trump told the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show. "I assume she admitted it without too much force because it is what it is, and it certainly doesn’t seem like a very good trade, does it? He’s absolutely one of the worst in the world, and he’s gonna be given his freedom because a potentially spoiled person goes into Russia loaded up with drugs."
