Biden Released Brittney Griner from Russian Prison

[DukeU]

Do you think the arms quit moving just because this guy was in prison?

So, that's a no on any new gun law *biden proposes?

Had you ever heard of this arms dealer before today?

Yes I have heard of him. I'm surprised that you haven't.

 

[martybegan]

Again you don't know that. We do know you played the race card. You always do.

Oh good god we know that, we wouldn't have even known about the other dude if the media and lefties (but I repeat myself) didn't raise a shitstorm over her because of WHAT she is.

I give Biden 3 months to get Whelan out, after that he sold out one person to please his race/sex/sexuality obsessed base.

I've not supported one yet. Sadly the people have to be able to protect themselves from a violent government.

Conservatives condemning the return of a wrongly imprisoned American look foolish

She violated Russia's drug laws so she was not wrongly imprisoned.

The right has been demanding it.

can you post a link ? timing is crazy, moscow runs out of the shells in Donbas ....

But we leave Whelan behind. I am glad she's free, that was pretty harsh. But Whelan has been there 3 years for "spying".

Especially with violent people running things.

Plenty of normal people look to violence before other options. Try riding the subway in NYC sometime.

 

[Hellokitty]

Putin knows this trade puts the pressure on Biden to get Whelan out.

 

[DukeU]

We got a HOF Basketball player back, they got an arms dealer

How would you rank her among current women players?

Thousands do it every day.

Griner wasn't "wrongly imprisoned" at all.

She admitted in open court to smuggling drugs in the Russian Federation- which is against their law.

 

[rightwinger]

She violated Russia's drug laws so she was not wrongly imprisoned.

She was carrying a commonly used pain reliever
Her sentence was not comparable to others with the same offense

He did it, he did it! That sleepy ole man finally did it.

He got Russia to release Brittney Griner from prison.

Amidst all these ongoing tensions.

WNBA star Brittney Griner released from Russian custody in a high-profile prisoner swap between the U.S. and Moscow

Griner was detained in February at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport after Russian authorities said they found vape canisters with cannabis oil in her luggage.

Man, there's nothing that sleepy old man can't do!

Yoooooooo JOE!!!!

Could we please have ten more threads on this story.

Who cares that Biden has been caught red-hand selling us out to our enemies.
National Security is just a little issue.
THIS STORY IS BIG. ONE BIG AMERICAN HATING LESBIAN FOR THE MERCHANT OF DEATH IS BIG NEWS!!!!

She was smuggling a drug banned in the Russian Federation.

In some countries like the tremendous Republic of Malaysia, she could have received the electric chair for it.

Her sentence was not comparable to others with the same offense

And you know that because you have access to Russian sentencing statistics?

 

[MarcATL]

Worst people on the planet? Do you think hyperbole is going to make your case stronger? Do you think putting Bout in prison meant the end of arms dealing in the world?
Obviously, it wasn't an even trade given the nature of the crimes. But let's recognize the reality of the abuse Griner was being subjected to for a petty violation.
I find it telling that your first impulse is not to call Putin a monster but rather direct your ire at Biden.

Very telling indeed.
