She/He does not like America, then we need to swap a known terrorist because she f up!
Democrats for you
Much as I'd like to see her come home, I'm sure she's not the most urgent or important political prisoner. If not for her celebrity.. Sadly anyone else would be left to rot in jail. The US would not come to our rescue so to speak.
Leave her American hating a$$ send her to the Gulag
PUTIN NEEDS HIS ARMS DEALER BACK, HE'S AT WAR RIGHT NOW.. BAD TRADE.. DON'T DO IT.
She doesn’t like this country, the American anthem and being ignorance on another country laws. Why bringing her back? There are people who are better than her to bring back.
The US is so hypocritical
they refused to talk to Russia about it's legitimate security concerns that could potentially have stopped a war from even starting for six whole months. But now the they're eager to talk about releasing a basketball player in exchange for arms dealer. It's like never mind 6 million people displaced and hundreds of thousands killed we just want Brittney griner back.
The whole thing's entirely disgusting.
US basically said it's okay to break the law and they'll get you out and bring you home no matter where you get in trouble.. sending a poor decision in doing so especially for someone who has no respect for America at all
Lol Guns need to be ban so we will give Russia a gun smuggler so he can come back and snuggle more guns in!
You know what, they need to stay in that russian prison. Always kneeling for the national anthem and doing woke garbage. Saying "oh americas sooo oppressive". Well, enjoy knowing what real oppression in a russian jail is like britanny dumb griner.
Without googling can anyone name one WNBA team? Asking for a friend
IT IS A GREAT THING THAT SHE IS DOING TIME IN A RUSSIAN PRISON !!!!!
No no no leave her/him there
No leave her usa same sentence 21 short
Leave her there. She doesn’t deserve to come home. Hypocritical twat.
Biden will stretch this out until just before the midterm elections to pretend his admin. cares about black and gay people. Never waste a crisis.
Isn’t this the same girl that’s anti America ? That walks out of national anthem ? Why is she crying to joe now ? She doesn’t have to hear it for 9 years …..
Orange is the new black is fire lol
Ok. How long before she's arrested in this country.
She should serve 10 years. Lesson learned he can’t go in other countries in thinking that marijuana is legal everywhere in the world.
Leave that hoe
Finally something Joe has experience with… a get out of jail free pass. Ask Hunter
Leave her in there. I hate when the law doesn’t apply equally to everyone.
Our government never treats our men in the same way. Let her serve her time, they would quickly run our guys in the ground. Ask your fathers, cousins…… anyone whom has served.
Do we, as Americans give a pass to anyone else??? We charge and fine/charge others so quickly.Mark them as drug dealers. Ruin their lives. Leave her to do her time!
She deserves, nothing less punishment.
she deserves nothing less than her sentence
The white boy marine would’ve never ever got out of prison, if it wasn’t for that black guy,,, the basketball player,,, transgender dude,, if he never got caught up over there, they left the white guy to rot
Lol she he they sounds like a man
Wait I just read Paul Whelan was dishonorably discharged from Marines for theft, that's why he left on a BAD DISCHARGE. Okay now I see why he has been sitting over there. WHAT THE HELL KIND OF A TRADE IS THIS. THE NEWS NEVER MENTIONED ABOUT HIS BAD DISCHARGE. BENEDICT ARNOLD WAS A SERVICE MEMBER, UNTIL YOU LEAVE OUT WHAT HE DID WHILE A SERVICE MEMBER.
Common sense is not common here! Russia will want all of the prisoners for griner trade! And Griner has been going to russia for 7 years and still clueless of there laws???
Only swap after every single person is released from American prison for weed charges. Otherwise WTF.
Libs/ Dems Are you certain Britney wants to come back to "Americas Oppression and Systemic Racism" ?
I was going to send her a Russian flag and see if she would kneel on it. Eh Libs?
I do not believe that Griner accidently forgot that she had drugs in her suitcase. Why should we free an arms dealer that will continue to commit crimes? She is not worth the trade.
I'm not sorry, she was going to a foreign nation and brought illegal drugs. I am all for cannabis but if it's illegal and you try to smuggle illegal drugs into RUSSIA. I believe we should let nature work the course and not use assets to fix that decision on their part.
This is why I feel men shouldn't play womens sports !
Free Julian Assange
Let the anti-American freak rot in a Russian prison colony. We don't need that beast here. She hates the US with a passion, but is now begging US taxpayers to bankroll her homecoming.
BIDEN IS NO LESS OF AN ARMS DEALER THAN THE RUSSIAN ARMS DEALER HE'S BEEN HOLDING HOSTAGE… ACTUALLY, BIDEN IS WORSE BECAUSE HE GIVES MUSLIM SOLDIERS TAXPAYER FUNDED WEAPONS FOR FREE…!!! Dope smoking lesbian role model for young aspiring democrats smuggles illicit drugs into Russia and the Biden Administration jumps to her defense for publicity… the same Biden administration that gives Afghanistan muslim soldiers billions of dollars worth of US Taxpayer Funded military weapons and vehicles, uses taxpayer funded us military aircrafts to transport literally tens of thousands of muslim soldiers and muslim cheerleaders to America, and literally gives Zelenskyy's crooked cohorts that have been attacking ethnic Russian citizens of Ukraine that have lived in Ukraine their whole lives taxpayer funded weapons to attack ethnic Russians for the purpose of undermining, attacking, and stealing future business off of Russia although Kyiv, former Kyven Rus, is the birthplace of ethnic russians… then Biden Administration sides with the drug smuggler celebrity and accuses Russia of racism and prejudice. One big fat sloppy embarassment of a Democratic Party Administration as usual.
Swap her ass for Hunter Biden.
But at least we know she will dominate the entire prison
Why would we exchange prisoners for her? And why does she want to come back? She hates America, hates the national anthem, kneels for the anthem, says how r**ist America is, says America is sex**t because she isn't paid fairly, etc
So shouldn't she be happy now that she's gotten away from such an oppressive, terrible, rotten place?
She COMMITED A CRIME in Russia. Why treat her special. Oh, I know. Because she's of color and gay and an activist. And then they want to do a prisoner swap. I can't belive it.
Hey! SHE. COMMITED. A. CRIME. She has to pay like anybody else. Go ahead and delete my comment. I already did a screenshot and will post it everywhere I can. SHE. COMMITED. A. CRIME.
Trump was right keep criminals out
