If Griner took drugs into Russia, that was very stupid.

But how do we know she did? Has she confessed? And if so, was it under duress?

’ On Monday, Griner’s head coach with the Phoenix Mercury, Vanessa Nygaard, told reporters: “If it was LeBron [James], he’d be home, right?” …

Most likely, but if it were Hunter Biden he'd sure be home.

but Brittney- i thought you said you hate America- also- you were never concerned about political prisoners in America who have been in prison for over a year now- no trials- I’m guessing you think that they ‘got what they deserved’? IF so, what is good for the goose- is good for the gander-

I’m guessing Brittney gets at least one hour out of her cell everyday, just to stretch her legs and take a walk.
They probably don’t give her any other prisoners to play ball with. “What do you think this is, an American Prison Resort?”

Maybe they should send Hunter to negotiate for her.

Maybe we’d find out if he’s good for anything at all.

Neither she nor her family has denied she took hash oil vapes to Russia, so I thing we can assume that she actually did that. Intentionally or not is another matter, but it’s on her own arse.

Do you hate Siberia that much that you’d inflict Griner upon it? :P

“But how do we know she did?”

Good point, I hadn’t thought of that.

The public outcry around the plight of Brittney Griner is growing louder...

Oh sure. She checks all the proper boxes. Black and lesbian.

If she was a normal woman, this would be no big deal.

there aint’ no BLM there in the gulag. She can “kneel” down in front of her new white Russian jail cell girlfriend called Natasha.

Not denying isn’t the same as confessing.

I don’t know Russian law, but I do know that she was leverage from the minute she showed up there. She was arrested one week before the invasion.

She broke Russian law in Russia.

They enforce their laws.

Sucks to be her.

Do you trust the video to be true?

It was in her carryons and the whole thing was recorded on video. She apparently asserts that the items are hers on the video.

Also worth noting that she decided to show up for her trial on drug charges while wearing a *t-shirt* - worse, it’s a t-shirt promoting a world famous stoner, Mister Purple Haze himself.

She did this to herself. She should count herself as lucky that she didn’t do this in Singapore.
