"Worst deal in the history of deals, maybe ever"

Don't ever try to tell me again that women don't enjoy outrageous privilege in our society.

Maybe we get lucky and the market gets flooded with cheap Russian aks again..

Evidence indicates Biden Admin picked WNBA's Griner over Marine Paul Whelan, despite claiming otherwise

Stealth edited report and commentary from Marine's family and attorney indicates that Russia offered both as an option.

So, what did the Marine do? Was he serving his country when captured? Why has our leadership turned their back on someone that served their country.

Best place for this, maybe ever

I am so p***** off over this I can't see straight. My Turrets has been in full bloom since I turned on the news. It has already reached the point of SWMBO'D giving me the "OK that's enough" comments.

This entire administration is h*** bent on s****** on every patriotic American, while holding up the absolute worst of our citizens.

F*** Traitor Joe, the 'Ho, Blinken the sleazy and all who support him! They are ALL nothing less than c*** ******** subversive communist POS domestic enemies of the Constitution and this Nation.

Trade a merchant of death arms dealer, who will likely go back to work supplying weapons for Russia to wage war on Ukraine, for an America hating drug user who shows no respect for the laws of the USA or Russia. Can the current administration possibly **** on the citizens of this nation who respect our veterans any more strongly?

God, this administration makes me sick!

I hope the welcoming party doesn’t play the national anthem or have a bunch of American flags to greet her when she gets home.

This whole story has me so mad, I’m almost afraid to type. They’ll send me off with another member

I guess I’m the only one happy to hear she was released. Obviously not a good deal made by the President leaving a man behind. I don’t like Russia, and I don’t want any American who’s committed such a small crime to die in a Russian prison, despite me disagreeing with her political views. Maybe this is xenophobic of me but I think we should do whatever we can to get American citizens in non allied countries out (unless they’re traitors or there’s factual proof that they committed a heinous crime). I don’t think we did enough for that kid who was imprisoned in North Korea and that still bothers me.

Edit: wrong use of there

You are not alone. I do not want Americans in Russian prisons.

I would have rather had the Marine back, but right or wrong, a citizen is a citizen.

Whenever there were talks about a trade, my thought was always let her do her time there and think about how the US was not good enough for her. Now no one is safe from being jailed and traded in a foreign country. We opened a box we can not shut for someone who has no respect for the US.

 

[Sigblitz]

What did we gain by releasing Viktor, dismissing the law suit against Salman, and staining our reputation? A low level media token drug user? What did we gain from Russia and the Saudis? What did Joe Gain? What does Joe want?

 

[jamil]

Im not unhappy she's been released. Not overjoyed that she ahs, especially since it seems to be more of a woke media push. Very sad, that we couldn't have gotten the former Marine released as well.

I'm indifferent at the release other than that if we're gonna give up a prisoner like that, wasn't there anyone of greater value we could have gotten? I mean the marine at least. She was stupid enough to go to a foreign non-Western country with MJ vapes. To me it falls into the category of play stupid games...

 

[Sigblitz]

I think Russia blackmailed Joe.

 

[yote hunter]

I feel so sorry for our military.

I did NOT need to watch that before 0700! My blood pressure is up, and my Tourettes kicked in hard before the last 1/4 of the video.

We've had Bout for a long time. They've had Whelan like 4 years. If that was a trade the Ruskies were interested in, they'd have made it by now.

As for Ms Griner, I don't have to like her to be happy she's been released.

But the next time she's at a WNBA game and the national anthem is played, she'd better not be hiding the locker room. She better be out there in an Uncle Sam costume singing at the to of her f**ing lungs.
