Britney Griner deal

[Anonymous]

That the republicans are all up in arms about this is quite a tell.

Whelan was clearly up to some nefarious crap, which was apparent at the time he was taken.

Whalen's family is ok with it. I just hope they don't parade Griner around but they will. I hope she is grateful and says it instead of saying other stuff .

Lol. That “failing administration” has had a phenomenal week. I’m sorry that bothers you so much.

Unlike much of DCUM and random white men with 9 Twitter followers lol, I don’t pretend to know anything about this kind of international negotiation. I only know the simple fact that Brittney Griner is an American citizen and an American Olympic gold medalist. I trust the experts to make the decisions around the value of bringing her home.

Even shadier if true.
I'm indifferent on Whelen
Good for Grindr that she gets to go home.
Confident that this deal will go down in history as a major mistake.

Fascinating that your device autocorrects to Grindr. Hmm

So many “experts” here lmao

Why did Trump not get their guy out? Trump could have called Putin at anytime.

I would imagine she is very happy to get out of that country and back home to the United States of America!

I am glad she is coming home. Fortunately this happened with Biden and not Trump in office. I think many of you need to to separate your feelings about a 6’9” black lesbian who is not especially endearing or traditionally feminine and the actual transgressions. If she was a snub- nosed little blonde with a perma-grin, there would be different reactions. Not everyone is a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader and a mindless flag-waver. America is supposed to support freedom of expression.

Bringing an illegal drug into Russia, lying when caught, are not the acts of an innocent person.

Having $80,000 in cash on you at the airport is okay?

exactly!

They left the marine behind.

Why on earth would anybody volunteer for the military under these leaders?

Do you not read? It seems not. He is being charged with something entirely different than possessing hashish oil.

Why are y'all not mad that Trump didn't lift a finger to help? Putin liked him and would have released him if he made the call.

Uh…you mean the court-martialed, dishonorably-discharged marine? That one?

Super curious: Did you blame Trump for not bringing him home? Because…
