October 26, 20223 yr Griner needs to tell the Russkies she'll play on their olympic basketball team and she'll be out of prison in the twinkling of an eye.

October 26, 20223 yr i'm not saying that what she's done is morally worse than what he's done, i'm saying that her actual list of transgressions is way longer than his, at least that we know of. that's my entire point. she has a longer and more sustained history of violence than tyreek hill and joe mixon. same as i said before.

November 9, 20223 yr Drunken carrier pigeon? ESPN: Griner's family might not know where she is for some time; according to her lawyers, "Notification is given via official mail and normally takes up to two weeks to be received."
November 9, 20223 yr Sounds like a ton of fun. Outside of dominating the gulag hoops league he's probably not in for a very good experience. https://www.axios.com/2022/11/09/brittney-griner-russian-penal-colony

December 8, 20223 yr Take some time off. Reflect upon your idiocy while writing the book that you'll make a shit ton on. How lopsided was the trade? I know nothing about this Viktor Bout, does he average a double double?

December 8, 20223 yr Wait we left whelan though? Not saying this isn’t great news but that has to be crushing for his family.
December 8, 20223 yr Popular Post Great news? L-O-Fucking-L. Traded an international arms dealer for a wife-beater.
December 8, 20223 yr Just now, RockyMountainHighHorn said: Wait we left whelan though? Not saying this isn’t great news but that has to be crushing for his family. That's my general thought. Happy for Griner but a 1:1 swap for an international criminal known as the Merchant of Death seems a little....unbalanced. It seems we could have gotten quite a few Americans out as part of the deal...but then again WTF do I know.
December 8, 20223 yr Popular Post Great use of resources. Imagine celebrating the exchange of a Bond villain for a WNBA player.
December 8, 20223 yr 29 minutes ago, RockyMountainHighHorn said: Wait we left whelan though? Not saying this isn’t great news but that has to be crushing for his family. As I mentioned on the politics board, the Whelan family has made a statement praising this move and not waiting for something that may not have happened with Whelan being freed as well. Whelan’s brother as also come out and said this morning that he believes the US doesn’t have anyone that Russia wants in exchange for Paul.

December 8, 20223 yr I’d never heard of this guy but he was a former US marine jailed in Russia, and we prisoner swapped a Russian drug dealer for his return back in April. Does stuff like this happen all the time and it just isn’t talked about? https://www.texastribune.org/2022/04/27/trevor-reed-texas-russia-prison-swap/

It was a really big deal. No biggie you didn't hear about it, but it meant you weren't paying attention to pretty much any news source whatsoever. The story and interviews with him were plastered all over the place. By the way, I'm very glad Griner has been released. I sure wish Whelan had been, too. There was also an educator who was arrested shortly after Griner for stupidly taking in marijuana he had a medical prescription for. I don't know what his status is, but it can't be good.
December 8, 20223 yr Can I say "I'm glad that my fellow American is home safe, but that I'm pissed off that her actions ultimately led to the release of a real shitty dude"?
December 8, 20223 yr Was Billy King negotiating for the US? Didn't even get a single pick, unbelievable.

December 8, 20223 yr I have never understood the Britney defenders who think it is unjust that she be punished for breaking drug laws in the country where she was. No one put a gun to her head to play basketball in Russia, and certainly nobody made her transport drugs through an airport. And for it all, we released the “merchant of death” back to an enemy nation in the middle of an unjust invasion/war against Ukraine.

This swap was offered over 4 months ago to include whelan and griner. Whatever Bout is tied to after this will have crazy blowback.

Whelans family essentially said today that we tried and the Russians won't do any exchange for him.

Remember that part in saving private Ryan where the enemy walks and at the end of the movie he rejoined shooting across the bridge?Any blood tied to Bout is on this trade. And russia hates us way more than they did when we arrested him 14 years ago. They’re probably going to put him right to work….unless he’s handed his moralized papers and sent to Ukraine right away. That’d be funny

This is where I'm at.

So . . . welcome home, Brittney Griner. And fuck you. You better hope Viktor Bout causes no harm to your fellow American citizens in the future.

December 8, 20223 yr Who was more likely to die in custody. My money is on Whelan. Griner being a celeb shouldn't have moved her to the front of the line.
