Brittney Griner faces a complicated path to release

Didn’t he/she/it ever watch Midnight Express?

Yes, but Griner knew more than the writers of Midnight Express.

Then, at least.

[Navy Patriot]

Obviously the woman(?) is not very smart.

If belief of Propaganda is a measure of intelligence, ... which it may be.

"The seven-time All-Star center for the WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury."

I'm confused... Is it a trans guy, or a trans girl.?? If it's a girl to a guy, shouldn't it be playing on a men's team.... Asking for a friend.

Thing is Biden is sending former NM governor Bill Richardson to Moscow to plead for her release. Why? I doubt he’d even notice if I were arrested for drug possession in Russia. (Well I don’t think he notices much of anything).

Is it because she’s a black lesbian WNBA player? Well, she ticks off some boxes, that’s for sure. And, of course, there are some people, no matter what they do, it really isn’t their fault. Have some hash oil in your luggage? “I was packing in a rush, cause, you know, the trip to Russia where I make five times my WNBA salary, came up on me unawares.”

[Drew68]

Trump should fly to Moscow and secure her release.

It would be worth it just for the entertainment factor of watching liberal heads explode.

[Navy Patriot]

Is hashish oil legal in the state where she was packing her bags?

Yes, Hash Oil is legal (and in fact required) in the State of Denial, in the State of Negro Superiority, and also in the State of Western Journalism.

Griner is from all three.

“wrongdoing”

Mealy mouthed leftist euphemism for committing a crime.

[Navy Patriot]

She needs to throw herself at the mercy of the Russian Courts. Maybe they will let her represent them for a while.

If Griner did this honestly and candidly, she would be out in 60 days.

[ChildOfThe60s]

I’m confused.

How can a 21 year old be a seven time all star?

I know nothing about women’s basketball and care even less.

[Navy Patriot]

I'm confused...

Join the club, you can have the seat next to me.

[cableguymn]

it’s a very easy one..

admit guilt (done)
do time. (might be a lot)
go home when release.

easy peasy.

don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.

Is it because she’s a black lesbian WNBA player? Well, she ticks off some boxes, that’s for sure

This is why I don't think Putin will let her go anytime soon. He knows she(?) checks off a few boxes with Biden's base, and he's facing increasing pressure from them to bring her home. The longer she stays in a Russian prison, the bigger the rift between Biden and his base.

Ah yes, the Russians are gonna have fun negotiating with Bill Richardson:

> Who among us hasn't been in a hurry to pack for a trip, and inadvertently tossed drugs into our suitcase? <

Well, I can honestly say that I never did. But I did once accidentally pack a girlfriend in a suitcase. I wasn’t arrested. However, the airline forced me to buy an extra ticket.

[Political Junkie Too]

Richardson is the person who personally drove Monica Lewinsky to New York to go to a Revlon job interview.

It seems that all Griner will have to do is kiss Bill Clinton's cigar to go free?

She is thirty one years old fwiw.

After ten years of hard labor she will be forty one—and older and wiser....

I'm confused... Is it a trans guy, or a trans girl.??

Just a big girl who scares off the guys, and has adopted lesbian.

BTW, I live in Phoenix, and have never heard of this "star". She ain't no Rebecca Lobo (who is quite tall, was a better player, and found a nice tall MAN to settle down with.)

[Dr. Sivana]

But I did once accidentally pack a girlfriend in a suitcase. I wasn’t arrested. However, the airline forced me to buy an extra ticket.

Even though she was dead?

[ChildOfThe60s]

Never mind. I see she is 31. I must have misread her age in another article.

I could rationalize a 21 YO being that stupid. But 31? Not just stupid, but arrogant and operating under the delusion that she is untouchable.

PS: She is not married to another woman. She just thinks she is.

“The longer she stays in a Russian prison, the bigger the rift between Biden and his base.”

I can't image Russia, or any foreign adversary of the U.S., would want to damage Biden's reelection chances.

The Reds may have contempt for Biden, but that does not mean they want to see him replaced by a pro-American president.
