Here you go, PP. Not so “stone faced” here!

The problem with the conservative PPs in this thread is that they see that picture and hate her even more.

I'm shocked that she is standing in front of the American flag, an obvious symbol of racism.

Griner won two Olympic gold medals for Team America, what did YOU do that compares?

I didn't go to Russia and stupidly carry an substance illegal in that country putting my own country in a predicament.

Had she gone to Singapore and been found with drugs she may have received the death penalty. Why is she exempt for laws just because she is a sports star? While many may feel it’s stupid to be arrested anywhere for something like marijuana we are still arresting people here for it and thousands of people are rotting in jail for minor drug crimes.

She had massage oils. It like arresting people for having hemp rope. Well I guess you all want PW to rot in a Russian prison because he was clearly breaking Russian laws.

She had hash oil in vape cartridges. Do you live an alternative reality?

PW had $80,000 in cash? Yet you RWNJ getting your white brother out.

Not a Whelan fan, but it is illegal to have 80k in cash in Russia?

The money wasn’t as much of a problem as the USB drive containing a list of Russian intelligence employees.

Yeah, I am confused why the 80k was mentioned as a problem.

I'm convinced Whelan is a Russian spy that pissed someone off. His entire backstory is basically the same as Russian illegals that have been caught and subsequently talked to the press, down to the stolen SSN and Canadian citizenship. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_and_Russian_influence_operations_in_Canada

If he is a spy, he knows the US won’t deal to get him out.

He has citizenship in 3 countries and none of them seem all that interested in getting him back.

I don't think this is at all about "bringing home American citizens". It is about fame and bravado. BG was not an innocent. Yes the sentence was unfair but the fact remains that she broke the laws. Yes she received the more harsh sentence because of her notoriety but the fact remains that she broke the rules. Plenty of other Americans are currently imprisoned in other countries, often for not even breaking the law, and there is no trade for them. No nationwide effort. No countless millions (I can only guess at the cost) spent on their rescue. Plenty of other Americans break the law and are told by State that they cannot get them out of prison. The only reason she was captured and the only reason she was traded is because she is famous and the gov't couldn't stand to lose face.

I'm frustrated by the expense and attention when there are millions of children in this country who are struggling to get by. We have a child welfare system that could use this level of money, attention and support. But no, we always pay attention to the shiniest thing. We can pat ourselves on the back that we 'take care of Americans'. Meanwhile if you or I are caught or scooped up on sham charges, they are really sorry but cannot help.

It is good she is home but the disparity in both priorities when it comes to individuals and our priorities as a nation are really sickening.

Word salad. Sounds like you do your illegal substance here.

Seems pretty easy to understand. I remember there was a US citizen in Singapore sentenced to caning for shoplifting.

I think the issue is that but for being a U.S. citizen, Griner would have gotten a fine, like every single other Russian caught with the same amount/style of CBD. GMAFB, it was a BS charge. And this Whelan guy is a dirt bag. Everyone acting like we're leaving an active Martine POW over there or something is off their rocker. He's a POS thief who was thrown out of the marines.

What is so bad about Bout people are against trading him?

Pain relief for sports injuries.

The small quantity she had would have would gotten a Russian a small fine and no jail time. A Russian would not have been sentenced to 9 years. It was complete bullshit.

She is not Russian. What a Russian would have been sentenced to is irrelevant. Russia is under no obligation to treat non citizens the same as their own citizens.

So you admit she was a political prisoner because she is American

The charge he carried a high sentence not because of the possession of drugs but they said she trafficked them into Russia. Technically she did bring drugs over from another country but obviously she had no intention of selling them but that’s really where they got her on charges. It wasn’t just simple possession.

They got her because they got her. It would have just been something else.

The Russian administration of justice is notoriously principled.

Honestly large cash amounts in the US are a problem even though it’s not illegal. Plenty of people traveling especially through airports have large cash amounts confiscated by police at airports under civil asset forfeiture laws.
