Cool. I'm glad you interjected to tell us your threshold of empathy in this matter, as well as your threshold for that of others. For whatever it may add to the conversation, your level couldn't bother me less.

Obviously it bothered you or you wouldn't have replied. Have a great day.

OK. If that's what you need to think, so be it.

For the record though, there's a different definition for "bother" than for "willing to discuss". One particular hint would be phrases such as "really rubs me the wrong way", and "doesn't bother me".

But whatever helps you have a good day and get rubbed the right way, I'll be in favor of.

Take care.

AHH, I love the right's viewpoint on indvidual liberty amd Constitutional protections. It's an absolute stonewalled protection for every American, complete and total adherence to Const., as Citizens. Dont tread on me. Govt cant tell me what to do -

as long as it fits my narrative.

protect our freedoms,

as long as it fits my narrative.

protect us from all enemies foreign and domestic,

as long as it fits my narrative.

She is an American Citizen. Ergo, deserves to be treated as such. Im guessing if that were you in a Russian prison, you'd probably want Joe Biden and the Demonrats to put aside dumbas political ideology and do the right thing?

What is the right thing? Releasing a mass murderer?

Sentencing BG is a really smart move by Russia. You've got the Left screaming to have her released and swap whoever for her and the Right saying f that don't give them a war criminal she deserves what she got. More bitching and fighting in America is the result.

I'm going to play Devil's Advocate.

If a military member went over to Russia and got arrested and sentenced for this, and it made the news. I'd bet the right would be clamoring to bring he/she home. Willing to swap a war criminal for them even.

Let's be honest with ourselves. The right doesn't care about bringing her home because of her politics and lifestyle - not because it's "not a good trade" or "she deserves it."

We fought to get Ryan Lochte off the hook in Brazil. We are fighting to get a soldier a lesser sentence or brought back after a fatal car crash in Japan. Embassies all over the world work with and negotiate deals with foreign governments to get their citizens released and shipped home. Regular citizens, all the time. Virginia Tech once had a Chinese student murder another Chinese student and the US didn't even prosecute. They just got the guy shipped back to China. We only really keep military criminals.

I disagree with Griner on pretty much everything, but she's an American citizen and should be punished at home. It's entirely a political ploy by Russia. And I'm sure they're loving making American citizens and politicans bicker about what to do. They see how divided we are and they're continuing to do things to drive a wedge because they know the only way we fall is by tearing ourselves down.

Americans are supposed to have each other's backs at the end of the day. The people wanting her to rot in a Russian prison for this are the actual problem here. If anyone reading this falls into that category I pray you do some introspection.

Anybody getting caught in Russia with administration is a crap shoot. We get new examples everyday. Biden is not respected worldwide, he's mocked. You can't spend years demonizing a power the way they have and have any leverage. They always seemed afraid to demonize China in the same way.

Why would we have a military member in Russia?

If a military member went over there and was busted for drugs he would be dumber than she was. Hardly anyone would be clamoring for a trade to bring them home.

They probably want to study her and splice some of that DNA for their future female athletes, now that 'roids are carefully screened by the Olympic committee.

Americans are detained all the time. For their stupidity.
There are other Americans being detained in Russia as we post.

I guess gov trespassing in US is more egregious than drug possession in Russia. At least you get quick due process in Russia.

The Marxist Biden regime will trade a Russian war lord for the all important female homosexual basketball player who protests against the United States, and who refuses to try to improve her appearance.
