Should U.S. Swap ‘Merchant of Death’ for Brittney Griner?

[Lawrence Wright]

So are you saying that they targeted her? Again, this was before February 24th, so that likely didn't play a factor in this. But, I'll play along... what if it did play a factor? Would the Russians get any leverage with a WNBA player or someone of more significance?

I’m saying it’s possible she was targeted.

As for leverage, it’s not a stretch to suggest that a sitting POTUS with liberal and progressive leanings would not have the best leverage to negotiate, which could play into Putin’s hands on getting what he wants…whatever that might be.

What don't people like about her? I know she had a domestic abuse charge but so did her spouse, and it just doesn't seem like that big of a deal that same-sex pro athletes got in a scrap. Is she woke or something? Is that why we hate her?

I don't hate her. I don't care for the kneeling during our National Anthem . She is an idiot for having drugs in a foreign country the US is at odds with for sure.
Now her selfish actions have turned her into a bargaining chip for one of the worst criminals on the planet. So yes she is a turd.

OK, I can agree with that. It is "possible".

'I'm terrified I might be here forever': Brittney Griner Pens Handwritten Letter To Biden

WNBA player Brittney Griner is escorted before a court hearing in Khimki outside Moscow on July 1, 2022.

(CNN) WNBA star Brittney Griner, in a handwritten letter to President Joe Biden, said she fears she will be detained in Russia indefinitely and pleaded with the President not to forget about her and other American detainees.

"(As) I sit here in a Russian prison, alone with my thoughts and without the protection of my wife, family, friends, Olympic jersey, or any accomplishments, I'm terrified I might be here forever," she wrote, according to a statement released by the communications company representing the Griner family.

I wonder if any of her friends could send her a Che shirt.
How scary would it be knowing you are writing to a dementia riddled puppet president to get you out of a Russian prison?

Lol

Good point....I thought it was 7 gram....0.7 gram is like .025 ounces and not even measurable.

All I can find is that she had vape cartridgeS containing cannabis oils which could carry sentences up to 10 years, so I'm thinking there was more than 0.7g unless they were all "spent" cartridges.

A cartridge is most commonly 1 or 0.5 grams, so she would only need to have one of two cartridgeS half spent to get to the 0.7 grams

She's not in Kansas anymore dude. She broke the law with a country that we are funding a war against. Russia is going to keep her forever and TBH I don't care.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

She was in russia working and trying to leave when apprehended. As an athlete you have contractual obligations. She is one of ours, and we should bring her home. My guess is this weapons guy will be trackable, or even convinced to work with us instead of against. Just my assumption.

Meh, I think they scare the hell out of her for a while.

Are you serious? She nearly beat Glory Johnson to death and stalked her while she was pregnant

 

[Rickyvol77]

WTF, and 0.7 grams is not "smuggling". It's an accident.

Lmao taking drugs or paraphernalia into any other country is smuggling

 

[DinkinFlicka]

Not sure what qualifies as "nearly beaten to death" but this ain't it. Lol.

I don't recall hearing about stalking. Didn't Griner end the marriage?

You might want to talk to Glory about what happened the night she gave birth. And how Griner threatened to come shoot her there. There are several things not know publically about their relationship but I stick by what I said about Griner. She is a POS domestic abuser and druggie

Okay so it's anecdotal, gotcha.

Maybe I suck at googling because I'm not finding anything to back up a single thing you've said.

It happened in Knoxville that same year. I have access to one report but can’t show you due to HIPAA. Take it up with KPD and their reporting. You do realize not everything that happens gets reported by the local or National media right?

It just magically eluded the media

Thanks for playing, Ricky. Have a good one.

Do you believe the media has access to every incident that happens? For real? you know a former Knoxville mayor years ago had to call the KPD police chief to pick him up at 3am at Atlanta PD because he had been arrested for picking up an underage male prostitute?

Did you ever see that in the News Sentinel? Lol. There are reasons the general public doesn’t know everything that happens

Brittney Griner’s Wife Calls Out Biden for ‘very disheartening’ Silence

Britney Griner’s wife said it is “very disheartening” that she still has not heard directly from President Biden, even after the WNBA star — who’s been languishing in a Russian jail — sent a handwritten letter to the president, begging him to not “forget” her.

Cherelle Griner appeared remotely on “CBS Mornings” on Tuesday, telling host Gayle King that she has decided to “not be quiet anymore” about her wife’s plight because the Biden administration so far has been unable to bring her home.

“I will find that balance of … harm versus help in pushing our government to do everything that’s possible because being quiet, they’re not moving, they’re not doing anything,” Cherelle Griner argued.

The freedom to protest?

She didn’t lose her freedom to protest here . She should be learning a valuable lesson ( I doubt it but she should ) . When she gets free , she should be telling all of her progressive friends that socialism/ communism/ dictatorships really do suck and to think they don’t is a utopian fairytale . If it wasn’t for her elite status , we wouldn’t even be talking about her .

I don’t hate her at all . She’s a political pawn and Putin is going to use her to his benefit . If she had any illegal substances on her at all , in a socialist or communist country , then she isn’t very smart , and this is on her .

 

[82_VOL_83]

It's not both. I don't think they planted it on her or set her up. That is all I'm saying.

I'm saying both. I believe she screwed up and got caught. Afterward, I think they realized the opportunity they had. We can agree to disagree on the second but like you, I think she broke the law and got caught.

 

[VolStrom]

All I know is that I'd bet a hundo that Brittany has a bigger dinger than most guys here.

 

[82_VOL_83]

When asked about Glory Johnson:

WTF are you talking about?

Is that a good enough answer?
