Van Jones' take on the Britney Griner release

[DigitalDrifter]

This guy is so programmed to being a victim. He also knows today of the untold power of being one, as this case clearly shows.
Just look at who we were willing to trade, and who we were willing to leave behind.


Jones said Griner represents "everything in this country — she's female, she's LGBTQ, she's Black, and she is extraordinary. She's excellent. She's overcome. She's an icon. She's done everything you can do in her sport and more — and yet she still wasn't safe."

CNN's Van Jones on Griner's release: This is a result of "a grassroots movement"​

CNN political commentator Van Jones said the release of Brittney Griner from Russian detention was the result of an extensive "grassroots movement" — led especially by Black women back in the US.

"Today is going to be a joyful moment. For all the pain, for all the criticisms, a joyful moment for the Black women who led a movement to get one of their sisters home. This was a grassroots movement. They had to push to get male athletes, to get us to take it seriously, but they have triumphed," Jones told CNN.

They should have left her there. She had a nine year contract.

You get what you pay for.
Americas demise is a direct result of a persistent conservative mindset that freedom is free.

1. The Dem Administration knew it had to get the lady home.

2. Otherwise, gender and ethnic (and sexuality) activists would be very, very angry.

3. So when the Russians said, "If you return our thug, we will release the lady, but we will not release the American gentleman," the Dem Administration immediately caved.

a. After all, that male American does not belong to the politically correct gender or ethnicity.

Kharma is a real thing.

Remember that.

There is a consolation if you will. She will likely not play on any more Russian teams, nor will she be returning to Russia. Which means that she will not be getting all that money. Money she depended on to support her drug using lifestyle.

So it's not all bad.

I hope that everyone understands that this Griner story is the Biden administration's way of taking the heat off the First Amendment violations of our government for the express purpose of political power.

Sippy Cup can now claim he helped black people.

To re-visit a comment I've made many times before...

American politicians will ALWAYS cave in a lengthy negotiation, and our adversaries know it.

American businessmen are smart enough to realize that NO deal is better than a BAD deal.

Trump never would have made this deal. Never. She would serve out her sentence, or be bailed out by Trump's successor.

Biden rolled over for his boss Vlad Putin on this one.

A terrorist who sold weapons to other terrorists with the intent of killing Americans is a free man today because Joe Biden works for Putin.

At least Bout made money selling weapons to Taliban. Joey gave them weapons in his haphazard exit from Afghanistan and didn't make any coin!!

Not to worry. Plenty are disappearing on the way to Ukraine

China is currently staging at Bagram Airbase while in negotiations with the Taliban for rare earth minerals. Afghanistan has one of the world's largest deposits of Lithium.
And you can bet arms are part of the negotiation.
China is also currently exempt from the Paris Accords to boot!!

Yeah but the dim companies will want her endorsement on things like jock straps, cigars, mens suits, basketball shoes.....

Now Biden is going to reminisce when he was a transgendered WNBA player breaking down barriers.

As usual the Prog leave a soldier behind. Evil cretins.

Remember the release of Trevor Reed.
You clowns bitched about that too.

Joey gave them weapons

Decommissioned.
