According to reports from the New York Times, supporters of WNBA superstar Brittney Griner have written a letter to the White House pushing the Biden Administration to take action on Wednesday...

quote:
Dozens of organizations representing people of color, women and L.G.B.T.Q. voters called on President Biden on Wednesday to strike a deal for the release of Brittney Griner, the W.N.B.A. star who has been detained in Russia since February.

In a letter sent to Mr. Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, the groups said Ms. Griner “continues to endure inhumane treatment, deprived of contact with her family.”

The letter said the United States “has acknowledged that Brittney is essentially a political pawn in classifying her as wrongfully detained.” And while the signatories cited “deep appreciation” for the administration’s efforts to free Ms. Griner, “we now urge you to make a deal to get Brittney back home to America immediately and safely.”

What a waste of our tax dollars bartering for Brittney Griner to get out of jail in a foreign country. Who honestly gives a frick?

The media is changing the story on what she did. ABC news, Tampa said this morning that she was arrested, just for being in possession of a vape pen. They forgot to mention the handful of hashish cartridges.

Been doing this wrong from day 1. Putin is a good ol boy. He just wants to shoot the shiit about fishing and hunting. You send over Mulkey with some of Americas best brews and fishing/hunting equipment and Griner is home in like two seconds.

Yikes, It would suck to have your whole future depending on Joe Potato Biden. But these are the clowns that elected him so lets see how it plays out.
