That's nice. Now go back to listening to effeminate men talk on your local NPR station.

Seems as if many think it's a forgone conclusion that this "swap" will be successful.


People think this way because swapping her is the completely wrong thing to do

So biden is gonna do it.

Someone in another thread made what I thought was a good observation in that one of the reasons she got such a sentence is it makes it more likely our special needs administration will make a trade for her. If the sentence was short they would probably just let her serve it out.

As it is the dumb fricks probably will trade the merchant of death for a basketball player

Anyone actually celebrating her sentence is a complete loser.

100 percent accurate. And I don't like the precedent it sets. Want us to release one of your criminals? Just round up Americans in your country and charge them with whatever.

The midterms will be really fun to watch right after this administration gives Russia back their Merchant of fricking Death



It's pretty obvious the Biden administration don't want to do that especially before the midterms. They're stalling right now until after the midterms before figuring out what to do about the Griner situation.

Nah, they want the social win, and that trumps anything else.

The media will absolutely carry their water.

Nah. When 98% of the media is in the tank for you, there's no reason to think strategically.

What have they done in the last few years that seems remotely calculated?

Why bring race into this? I’m sure black republicans will also be pissed seeing that there are black people still in American jails for weed. The outrage is over the preferential treatment and hypocrisy of this administration, not skin color. If we are going to trade the Merchant of Death for Griner, every person arrested for weed should be released from jail and/or have their records expunged. But that won’t happen. What will happen is idiots like you will take a victory lap over this while looking like a race-baiting moron.

Does anyone have any doubt that Putin, after this shite show of an administration has publicly revealed their hand, is now requiring more than the merchant of death in return?

Biden’s crew has got the B.G supporters, which includes the media, all excited about an alleged prisoner exchange, that they have to meet Putin’s terms now.

I cannot believe Jake Sullivan did that. What a complete moron. In return, Russia asked for a convicted murderer in GERMANY to be released. Then the White House press secretary publicly said Russia had counter proposed with a "non-serious offer." This was all AFTER Lavrov requested negotiations happen in private. Now, Lavrov and the Kremlin are messed up people and deserve hell, but they also hold all the leverage.

If they do, I hope protestors show up with signs of the faces of all the Americans in Russian prisons who weren’t important enough for the State Department and White House to do anything about.

Honestly I wouldn’t be shocked if they planted the pen on her, they’ve done worse than that.
