Heās not on TV, a sports star, or a politicianā¦us normal citizens always take a back seat to them. They will move mountains to get a āfamousā person out and leave you to rot.

Russia is more than likely playing an entirely different game with him, so yes, I do believe it. It doesnāt mean the U.S. is not working to get him home also.
Big difference between being accused of having some cannabis oil and being labeled as a spy.

Listen can you hear the other World Power Leaders laughing at Biden and America? Further China, Russia, and Iran are now planning to arrest or just kidnap Americans on their soil to use in exchange for their terrorist and criminals they would like to get from the custody of the US!

When I first heard this story, I couldnāt help but think that āprisoner exchangeā was a phrase usually used by two nations at war.
Iām not so naĆÆve as to think it never happens otherwise, but it still struck me as peculiar.

Most millennials know Griner but never heard of Thomas Sowell.
I think it was Orwell who wrote something about it.

That was my last straw, Iām done with these idiots!
So now we negotiate with terrorists? That are actively waging war!
The blood is on her hands from this day forward!
Give me one reason I should be a law abiding citizen?
Blood is boiling! Talk about racism! Yet thereās still a U.S. Marine still behind bars?
Someone please wake me from this nightmare! Or at least throw in a car warranty commercial! Whereās āJakeā when you need him!
āIran are now planning to arrest or just kidnap Americansā
Heck, Iām thinking about kidnapping Americans! Just kidding!
When they go low, they CAN get even lower! There are no words in the English dictionary that can describe this!

Paul Whelan does not fit the narritive for the oval office. More is to be gained from whats-her-face hating this country!

As a veteran Iām sickened and torn. Imagine sitting in a Russian cell as this marine; God knows what heās thinking or feeling. Your president has brokered a deal finally. Itās to exchange a Terry for an ungrateful WNBA player who got in trouble on her own. I would feel ultimately betrayed and forgotten but the people DO NOT FORGET.

no, its not that theyāre incompetent. Ive realized that they know exactly what theyāre doing. and its partially working. they WANT you to be defenseless, homeless, depressed, and angry. they dont care because they live in gated communities with all the money they could ever need. Americans and the country as a whole are not what they care about, its power. theyāre not incompetent, there is a difference.

Iām just curious whether sheāll still take a knee the first time sheās back at a WNBA game.
I mean, I wonāt be watching it. But if someone else sees it, let me know.

Thing is, she wasnāt āaccusedā of having cannabis oil. She HAD cannibis oil. She admitted TO having cannabis oil and illegally bringing into a foreign country whoās laws she either didnāt pay attention to or assumed she wouldnāt be held accountable to.
She did the crime, she should do the time.

I partially agree, but I also donāt doubt that Russia was making an example of her.
I would like to see other Americans released, but Iām happy for her in the meantime. Maybe sheāll reconsider her anti-American opinions.
Either way, Americansā¦ donāt go to Russia.

I can believe it, remember when he was VP? They traded 5 terrorists in Guantanamo Bay for Beau Bergdal, a deserter.

Oh most certainly they were. But still, if she hadnāt had it on her, there wouldnāt have been an issue.
She was arrogant enough to think she could break the law of another country and not be held accountable. She should have be intelligent enough to know that just because something is legal, or at least considered legal, in this country, isnāt necessarily going to be legal in another. And if she wasnāt sure, she should have checked.
Hell, our guns are legal, according to the Constitution, yet we have to make sure of the laws when we travel between states. She didnāt think of checking for something like cannabis when travelling to a different country?
Iām happy, in a āNo American left Behindā way, that sheās back. Do I think the sorry excuse taking up space in the oval office should have, I dunno, actually fought for both of them to come home? Hell yes. It would have been a show of force to say āBoth of them or you donāt get this guyā. But that would have required him to actually have balls and would require him to actually stand up for something.
Grrā¦sorry for the rant . .
So, in short. Americans, donāt leave the continental United States while ā ā ā ā for brains is, technically, in charge. Itās not safe.
