He is neither a Trump supporter or a racist. He’s a veteran so people who disrespect the flag/ anthem make him angry. |
| Why are folk so stuck on Whelan? He has multiple citizenships, he was in Moscow with 80K IN CASH! 80K!!!!And multiple passports. That sounds way hinkier than Britney's mess up. Not that she should have taken any cbd into Russia. Also, is anyone asking why Canada, Britain, Ireland aren't trying to rescue their citizen? |
Michael Flynn is a vet and tried to over throw the government. I bet your dear husband is ok with that. |
| I haven’t read anything to suggest she isn’t guilty but the punishment is obvioisly absurd. |
| If we cannot teach her to behave, maybe Putin can. |
What punishment are you referring to? She has not been sentenced. |
No. I think it was mighty convenient to pull her out of line two weeks before the start of the Ukraine war. How many times had she gone through that airport without caring a dash of marijuana, and now she’s a drug smuggler. Purleze. Question is why do you OP automatically believe a corrupt dictatorial state. |
She got caught this time. She’s pled guilty. Looks abs acts the part |
They probably mean the 10 years of jail being the usual punishment for this. Russia is harder on foreigners, too. WaPo has an opinion piece that said sports and Hollywood capitulate to dictators and don’t, as some suggest, spread American values. Americans should stop working in dictator-run societies after this. Russia can use her as a bargaining chip because we care about her but the Russian population pretty much doesn’t. |
Exactly. Who are these posters who believe the Russian propaganda. Must be Carlson Tucker’s friends and relatives. |
Liar! |
| I think she’s guilty but I think we should try to get her back as she is an American citizen despite her disrespect for the flag |
So you think she plead guilty to drug trafficking because she had a choice. Wow, the intellectually disconnect you have is frightening. |
Pleading guilty to a charge in which you are innocent of the crime but have no chance of proving your innocence is not a novelty that even you should be aware. There are innocent people who plead guilty sitting in jails all across the US because they could not get a fair representation in a US court. I can only imagine her Russian attorney informed her that pleading guilty would score her some points with the Russian courts because there was no way in HELL she would receive a fair hearing in Russia. |
| She went to Russia. She brought drugs. She knew the risks. I say, Let her rot! |
