Dennis Rodman flying to Griner’s rescue is no more.

Two days after former NBA star Dennis Rodman told NBC News he had secured permission to travel to Russia, Rodman is now reneging the offer. On Monday, he told ABC News he no longer has plans to make the trip.

In a competency test between Rodman and the Biden administration, I’d pick Rodman hands down. So, yeah. If I were stuck in a foreign prison I’d rather have Rodman trying to free me than Joe Biden.

Biden might actually get me shot.

Dennis Rodman could not have passed the drug screening trying to get in, and he knows it. Everybody knows it.

Griner is worth more to the Neocons in a Russian prison, than as a free woman - for as long as she’s in a prison over there, the Neocons can blame Putin. So she might as well make the best of it, it’s going to be a long wait.

Because Rodman is friends with Trump, that’s why Biden couldn’t let him go.

Smashing Pumpkins leader Billy Corgan spoke on the Joe Rogan show about partying in Vegas with Rodman back in the 90s.

That man was an animal.
