Britney Griner released

The Old Man comes through

what a joke, the ultimate virtue signaler

 

The joke is that Whelon got shafted for being in jail much longer even though Russians having no proof, yet Biden wants to show the Hollywood masses that he brought home a convicted media hero. . .

Fact is, you can serve for your country, but the country won't step up to help you.

 

yeah we get a ungrateful basketball player-hero only to the LBQT etc crowd, and the Russians get back a hard core terrorist who was plotting to kill Americans. While another guy who actually served his country is still in Russian prison

I'd say Putin came way out ahead

 

I'll hazard a guess that this Bout is dead from a "sudden illness" in the not to distant future.

I'm sure he's spilled the beans on lotsa individuals.

 

Failed by two administrations so far. Maybe Putler just won't let him go for anything.

 

I'm kind of neutral about the whole thing.

It does show how prejudiced righties here are about American citizens: if you don't agree with them you're not entitled the support of the US government.
I bet they think that same way about US citizens here at home.

 

Whelon... seriously? lol
That guy got kicked Jazzy Jeff style out of the marines for being a thieve and a fraud.


His own family identified a major of the Russian Secret service as a "friend" of Whelon.
Whelon, who got busted with 80.000 bucks in cash and a USB flashdrive containing names of people working for some secret service.

That's just game over.

 

I thought the US government didn't make deals with terrorists and terrorists countries? This trade could make Americans overseas vulnerable to kidnappings in exchange for criminals being held in US prisons.

 

And lefties were cheering people being held without bail for over a year for trespassing.

 

And we are learning it was the Saudi prince who negotiated the release of Griner and not Biden. Yet here we hear Biden claim his administration did all the negotiations.

 

Wow, Lord of War really got it right;

It is a happy event that Griner was freed. That said, it should not be forgotten that great effort was expended and large risks were run to put Viktor Bout away. All that has been set aside in order to help Griner out of a situation created by her own thoughtless action.

 

He's not black or gay or both bro. Just accept that this Biden administration was hunting for virtue points because Griner was getting far more media push because...identity.

He's not the only one either who was skipped over.

Meet American teacher, Marc Fogel. He was also arrested for the same bullshit charge in 2021 and is serving 14 years in Russia.

Gee. I wonder why he was skipped over?

Racist Biden administration is racist.

 

It wouldn't surprise me if somewhere down the road ...this Viktor Bout "dies suddenly"....considering he's probably spilled many beans while in incarceration.

 

We live in hope.

 

It's amusing that the Righties are bitching about an American being freed because she's a lesbian.

 

If that's your dipshit hot take I'd suggest re reading the complaints.

 

It seems pretty clear.

Yesterday they were all acting like a disgraced Marine was worth much more than Garner.

It's crazy that none of them cared about Fogel yesterday, his case is much more compelling that the scumbag who was kicked out of the Marines.

 

The cost was too high and the reason that it was Griner is racist in nature. There is no logical reason for this trade to have happened but for the fact this racist administration was hunting for virtue points because Griner was getting an article about her plight daily because female. black. gay. Doesn't help her case that she has shown her hate or disrespect of America either.

The straight white men being in the same situation but longer get little to no attention and thus no virtue points would have been awarded. Tell me againt how there is no black privledge?

That's the reality of the situation.

 

Fogel is in the same situation.

The disgraced former Marine is not in the same situation. He was convicted of a much more serious crime, and is a person of poor moral character.

 

You are not helping your case here.

 

Senate Dem: Griner-for-Bout swap "deeply disturbing," enabling future hostage-takers

Gee, ya think? We traded a black market arms dealer for a cliched America-hating lefty who was stupid enough to bring illicit drugs into a hostile foreign country. Her fellow America-hating lefties are cheering, while continuing to not give a sh!t about the wrongfully imprisoned Paul Whelan. On the bright side, it's the 1st time a WNBA trade has ever made the news.

 

It seems pretty clear that the people mad about Griner getting released were so desperate to make this about race that they were acting like a disgraced Marine was a war hero yesterday.

Poor Fogel was locked up yesterday, and you guys didn't even think to bring him up.

Fogel definitely should have been part of this deal, and Biden should have to explain why he wasn't.

 

That's what I see in the thread, my angry chum.

Calm down. *LOL*
