She is getting the book absolutely thrown at her. I do feel bad.

A lesson to be learned, while traveling to other countries, double-check and triple-check you are aware of their laws. For many countries outside of the U.S., if you break the law, your arse is grass.

frick Russia.

Link me to anyone being locked up for 9 years here for a vape pen of MJ, please.
No link, but the vape is a felony, not a misdemeanor.

I am not a fan of hers by no means, but this is harsh. She should have also known the laws of the nation she was going to.

I also believe that if America makes a deal to get her released, we should also release prisoners in American prisons that are in their for the same charges

And you’re suggesting she’s being charged for just possession of a vape pen when the charge is for trafficking.

And you realize she’s in RU-SSIA? Don’t you?
Your playbook of ignore, deflect, obfuscate is really transparent

For a Russian citizen. When will people understand most countries HATE American citizens? Other countries will go out of their way to punish American citizens for little or no reason.

OK that still doesn't make you correct. No one in America is being charged for trafficking for having a vape pen in a suitcase so your original point trying to compare our punishment in America as being as excessive as Russia is still stupid.

People are saying if WNBA players were paid the same as NBA players then she would never have had to play in Russia to make ends meet so this is totally America's fault


Think of how grand the scale the lack of accountability is for Leftists. Their position is that a business (WNBA) that would operate in the red if not for being largely subsidized by the NBA, should grossly overpay market value for their employees so said employees would not have to break laws in foreign countries.

I would venture to guess that based upon their actual market value WNBA players are ALREADY grossly overpaid. I have daughters. I'm all for women's sports. But there is very little market for professional women's basketball in the US...no matter how much the NBA, ESPN, and other MSM outlets say otherwise.

Imagine being arrested for pot and in American prison then watching the President work hard to get her released in exchange for giving up the “Lord of War”.

The irony here is that Grinder voted for Biden and Biden blames Putin for all of his bad policy decisions. So, the guy she voted into office is her worse enemy when it comes to negotiations.

In some states because it is considered more concentrated. Not all states consider it a felony. I know TX and FL do. The same with wax but no one is getting 9 years for a small amount.

No. He shits on the Democratic party. Not the country and he never once got on TV, while being paid in the top 1% or earners to play a game, and say the country was oppressing him.

Sure. She can do it all she wants then when she gets thrown in a Russian jail, and the majority of the country is unsympathetic towards her, she will realize that maybe exercising that right with a national platform maybe wasn't the best of ideas.

Do you mean he is complaining about Dems trying to take away constitutionally protected rights? Yet again that is 100% different than what Griner was crying about.
