Do I trust the US gov that says she was wrongfully detained


Has she or anyone around her denied it?

The US is likely lying. When it comes to Russia, they lie about everything. It’s our country’s new boogeyman. We always have to have one

Brittney Griner is realizing quickly how great she had it in America.

Gay card is actually a negative in many countries. Try that in front of a Sharia Tribunal ...

Fogel, who is in his 60s, had around 17g (0.6oz) of cannabis in his luggage


for fogel, this is the only part i take issue with, in no way shape or form is 1/2oz of weed should be called "large-scale" cannabis smuggling.

thats like a weeks worth for the average pot head

now they can do as many years as they want but basing it on being called "large-scale" cannabis smuggling is a bit of a stretch to say the least.

there has to be a lot more to the story then is in this article since this below seems to suggest

He pleaded guilty to smuggling, storing, transporting, manufacturing and processing narcotic drugs, according to Russia's Interfax news agency, and was sentenced to serve his prison term at a maximum security penal colony.

Maybe Griner's wife will vote for Trump. That's the only way she is getting her back.

The more American politicians make this political, the more she's fricked.

Russia hates strong-arming especially by this inept administration.



Yep. Trump knows how to flex but allow them to save face. If you really want her back, you'll have to bend the knee and be nice. Perhaps we should send Hunter to negotiate one on one with Putin?

How could they

She has brought drugs into the country numerous times. She even said so. Everyone knows she takes drugs with her.

Its pretty simple. She did it. Nothing to deny for the domestic abuser Brittney Griner.

There is no guarantee she will survive 14 years in a Russian prison. That aint no Club Fed she will be locked up in.

Going to another country? Do not break their laws.




Do you feel that way about illegal immigrants here in America?

Marc Fogel is the one that deserves sympathy and outrage - his situation is heartbreaking, considering that he had an actual medical excuse

there are legit medical uses especially those with epilepsy.

*none of which have any basis in a country where the treatment, any treatment, is outlawed.

If you're old and get that sentence it's like playing with free money. 3 hots and a cot for the rest of your life? Better to go to prison as a old man than as a young one.

If Trump were President, she'd have been home in time for Junteenth 'revelry' and bashing America.


Real shame.

You're going to Russia and you're not checking to see if marijuana possession is illegal in Russia?
