She has been released...


Not sure about the cost, Freeing an International Arms dealer for Her seems steep.

reply

Awful switch.
I bet Viktor Bout could also score more points on the court.

reply

so how much are the news stations going to pay her

reply

That's the thing, isn't it. She'll probably end up making a fortune out of this.

Putin played Senile Joe. Putin wanted Viktor Bout back, and so they grabbed Griner for a minor amount of vape pot knowing that SJ would trade the "merchant of death" for Griner. Russia wins big time - they get back an important piece of Russian terrorism and give up nothing, not even former Marine Whealan.

Meanwhile... America gets back a professional carpet muncher.

Wow.

reply


Be fair - she's not actually being paid to munch carpet.

reply

Wasn’t there a U.S. Marine veteran also locked up over there on some similar pretext? Did we get that guy back home in this swap?

reply


There is at least one former Marine held in Russia, but he was charged with "spying", not drugs. I put spying in air quotes because I don't know if the charges are legitimate (they might be, but we are talking about Russia here).

Many including myself speculated that former Marine Paul Whelan would be released in a two for one exchange for the Russian gun runner, but inexplicably, the U.S. only got Griner. Kind of like trading Babe Ruth for a bag of balls.

reply

A former Marine who was court martial education, concocted and discharged for stealing from other Marines.

reply

Interesting. I did not know this. However, Griner likewise has a previous U.S. conviction but for domestic violence against her wife resulting in a concussion. It doesn’t appear an American criminal history is disqualifying for President Biden to negotiate a prisoner swap.

reply

Absolutely! This is just what Putin wanted and dementia Joe obliged him! It's infuriating!

reply

Russia won, thanks Joe for getting out a druggie

reply

While I agree this is an awful deal for the US and she deserved what she got for breaking Russias laws, Calling someone a druggie for using pot is beyond laughable. What are you 75? How do you even know how to use the internet old man

reply

It's a (very) small number of votes (but full of squeaky wheels), but Joe is catering to the LGBTQ+ABCDEFH crowd.

reply

So Russia gets a useful merchant of death that secures them a wealth of arms on the black market, meanwhile, Dementia Joe scored points with the Rainbow Reich?

This truly is the time of the Clown.

reply

Yeah 40,000 USA citizens locked up on USA borders for the same crime could be released with no international criminals traded yet joe ignores them all and focuses on getting ONE single lesbian speaking piece at the cost of world safety. How can he do something so ridiculous while not helping the 40,000 locked up at home?!?! this is the biggest hypocrite move the demoncrats ever did....

reply

100% DMT!

reply

pedo joe is trading international criminals for useless lezbo basketball players... meanwhile weed remains federally illegal here in the states with 40,000 people incarcerated and with no freedoms. will pedo joe save them, no! they arent famous lesbo libturd speaking pieces that get to live above the law of us little people...

reply

The Democrats have once again betrayed America.

reply

How much the conservative outrage will last? A week?

reply


Probably less. We conservatives have a short memory. Unfortunately.

reply

Wow, even with your twisted logic you cannot support the liberal decision.

reply

Sickening. #JWB
