That's why it's so incredibly stupid and arrogant to think you can break a foreign country's drug laws. Congratulations on noticing.

I haven't read the news on this particular story, but someone told me that the vape pods contained illegal drugs. Is that true?

No. You see what happened was back in February before the invasion, Vladimir Putin called a meeting of his top GRU minds - TOP MINDS.

He told them, "We are thinking of invading Ukraine and we need political prisoners. What can you do?"

This one guy suggested bankers or management consultants. Vlad was like, "Not lesbian enough. They love the lesbians over there!"

So this other guy was like, "We can invite a soft core porn production company here to film a Charles Dick-ins adaptation of the 'A sale of two titties' and kidnap them.

Vlad was like, "No! Too obvious!" Suddenly Vlad had an idea….a wonderful awful idea. "I think this needs to be a black lesbian because of the BLM stuff we started over there. And where do you find black lesbians!?!?" he asked to the group.

They were puzzled, with one guy offering, "Working security at a rap concert?" "NO!!!" said Vlad. Another offered "Serving drinks at a bar called the Nacho Mama's?"

"NO you fools!" Replied Vlad. "Women's basketball!!!!" The 'ooohhh's were audible throughout the room. Suddenly Vlad spoke in a low gravelly Batman voice, "GET ME GRINER!!!!"

And that's exactly how it happened. EXACTLY!!! Sneaky Russians!!!

She is either terribly arrogant, lazy, or stupid to get caught.

Heisting that small of amount of Hash oil is a no brainer...a real no brainer.
I don't believe for a minute this is a honest bust.......the timing is just too convenient .

Suspect her habits were known long ago and Putin had assigned people to watch her.


Hopefully Brittney's release can be arraigned quickly .



Getting Americans out of trouble in foreign countries was one of President Trump's strong points. We'll see how she fares under this administration.


I believe Biden will get her out within a couple of weeks .



AOC and the woke brigade to the rescue....
Certainly could be a contributing factor in Biden's motivation .

In any case ...an American citizen is being held under very questionable circumstances by a ruthless regime and deserves the aid of the US government .




Until the past 15 months, there would have been a lot less doubt she would receive it.
Disagree

Under these circumstances I believe both administrations would/will do their best to help this American citizen.

But its really all up to Putin.

Brittney's release won't be free.
Thank you Canadian for your voice of reason on this subjecr.
Am more than a little envious of you at this moment .

My backyard has been covered in snow the last 80 days and its 24 degrees right now.

Please give my regards to your Angel .

And I am sincere in my congratulations of your happy retirement .

Been to Florida and Vegas with my wife within the last 5 weeks . In addition she just returned from Dallas visiting son # 2 ....leaves for Austin with my daughter and grandsons this Tuesday, then goes to El Paso for a wedding in early April . In between her trips I fly to San Diego to help a buddy with his new boat ...then fly to Dallas to visit a sister I haven't seen since before Covid.

In May we both go to Belfast, Maine to do some serious ( summer ) house hunting .

All the while we re modeling 2 rental houses to sell in April....funds to be 1031 exchanged to the property in Maine .

This is on her. Don't bring illegal controlled substances into foreign countries. It demonstrates an incredible sense of entitlement for a pseudo celebrity to think she can get away with that in any foreign country.


You assume that's the case. Russia is notorious for "trumped up" charges.

This is the same Russian that attacked Ukraine to "De Nazify" the country.
He defaults to an anti-American position.


Uh-ohhhh….Someone doesn't know what anti-American means.
Automatically believing the russians has not traditionally been an American trait.


So Russia arrested a professional women's basketball player who was playing for a Russian team (UMMC Ekaterinburg) for 7 years just Willy Nilly as a political statement? To flex their muscles by bringing the 'wildly popular' WNBA to a standstill?That's stupid.

Believing a professional athlete uses drugs and has the arrogance to think she can do what she wants no matter where she goes….that's both rational and very American.
LOL. pretending Russia just plays it straight while the "denazify" a country to rid it of its Jewish president. Their track record in the athletic arena is a few notches below pristine. russian athletes being banned worldwide wouldn't be a motivation to strike back?

Knowing what I know about Brittney, I would not be stunned if she had weed on her.

Or if the truth is somewhere int he middle.

But I didn't say I believed the Russians or Brittney. I said you default to the anti-American position, which your follow-up confirms. My criticism of you was for automatically siding with the Russians. Those are the words I used. Your incessant war on people who see life differently than you do apparently clouded your ability to discernt the plain English meaning.


Backpedal all you like. I'm applying a rational test to a story about a professional athlete accused of bringing drugs into a foreign country. I'd have had the same reaction if it had been Thailand or Singapore or the UAE because I've lived overseas and know the extent to which drug laws are enforced.

This isn't a story about Russia and it's got nothing to do with the war. It's about a spoiled pseudo celebrity and her sense of entitlement. That you tie it to the war is stupid and telling about who the real warmonger here is. I've never said anything about sending US troops to Ukraine.

Comrade Putin thanks you for defense of Mother Russia.



I always knew you two were close. Makes so much sense now.


Don't thank me. You earned this all on your own.

Was it the drugs or the gay that triggered you?

I dont think she disrespects the US other than she doesnt like the anthem being played but maybe she will realize that we have it pretty good here.

https://www.yahoo.com/video/wnb-as-brittney-griner-national-anthem-has-no-place-in-wnba-sports-222810318.html

"I'm going to protest regardless," she said. "I'm not going to be out there for the national anthem. If the league continues to want to play it, that's fine. It will be all season long, I'll not be out there. I feel like more are going to probably do the same thing. I can only speak for myself."

Just to show exactly how dastardly and scheming Putin is, before he blatantly kidnapped super-duper star WNBA giant, B. Griner as a political prisoner, he set up this poor Marine and made sure was handed a nine-year prison sentence in July 2019 after allegedly assaulting two Russian police officers while drunk. He's clearly been planning this war since 2019, at least, and amassing hostages to help.

You leftists are really on top of this. It's all a giant Putin conspiracy to hobble the west by arresting drunks and drug users. It's pure evil genius, I tell you!!!

Not everything is political. People are simply claiming this is political to give cover to an arrogant athlete so entitled she didn't feel she had to follow the law.

Only thing odd about this was it is a "breaking news" story that really happened a couple of weeks or so ago.

Did the news media not care about Brittany back in February, but now that they can use the story for possible
enhanced readership, it now matters.

Well, it mattered back in Feb. well before we were told about it.

The left/feminist are going to take advantage of this situation.

New talking point - WNBA players wouldn't have to play basketball overseas if the WNBA (NBA) paid them more in the US.

These people who try to compare NBA and WNBA salaries are not serious people. Just like Megan Rapinoe and her "Equal Pay" bull*****

According to Yahoo Finance, the average WNBA salary in 2021 is $120,648. Unlike in the men's game, most WNBA players don't have the luxury of spending the offseason on a beach somewhere. The league's "supermax" salary of $221,450 is only achieved by seven players, Brittney Griner among them. For reference, the minimum salary in the NBA is $925,258



I love how she plays the "white card". Has she ever watched an NBA game??

Kurt Warner stocked shelves at a grocery store after missing the NFL draft. He eventually became a Super Bowl champion. If stocking shelves is good enough for an NFL champion, then it is good enough for any other athlete.

Brittney only makes $227,000 per year? Poor baby. No wonder she needs another job. No way anybody could survive on such a paltry salary!

What is this fascination for feeling sorry for pro athletes and their salaries?

If you're worth more, then go out and get it. That's what the MLB is about to find out.

Otherwise, shut up and play.

These arguments are so unbelievably stupid. There is literally no such thing as equal pay in professional sports, not even within the same sport. Lebron James and Austin Reaves are both professional basketball players, they both play for the Lakers, they both have to attend all practices, film sessions, walkthroughs, etc. They both play significant minutes per game. Lebron makes $41 million per year and Austin Reaves makes $925,000. Both these players know exactly why that is. Austin is not arguing he isn't paid fairly because he makes less than Lebron and everyone knows it would be absurd for him to do so. Austin Reaves would also win MVP every season if he played in the wnba. There isn't equal pay within the NBA so arguing there should be equal pay between the nba and the wnba is a bad faith argument and everyone knows it. It also has nothing to do with women versus men which is proven by salary differences between male players in the NBA.

Just stop. It's absurd.

New talking point - WNBA players wouldn't have to play basketball overseas if the WNBA (NBA) paid them more in the US.

These people who try to compare NBA and WNBA salaries are not serious people. Just like Megan Rapinoe and her "Equal Pay" bull*****

According to Yahoo Finance, the average WNBA salary in 2021 is $120,648. Unlike in the men's game, most WNBA players don't have the luxury of spending the offseason on a beach somewhere. The league's "supermax" salary of $221,450 is only achieved by seven players, Brittney Griner among them. For reference, the minimum salary in the NBA is $925,258



I love how she plays the "white card". Has she ever watched an NBA game??
Darn, that girl has her virtue signals all in order don't she.

Fact is if Griner got paid by raw profits from the WNBA, and not because they are propped up, her pay in the US would be zero because there wouldn't be a league.

Who cares what a man makes. NBA produces a product and an atmosphere that cause people to willingly give up huge amounts of their hard earned money to attend. The WNBA by and large doesn't. That is all it's about.

These arguments are so unbelievably stupid. There is literally no such thing as equal pay in professional sports, not even within the same sport. Lebron James and Austin Reaves are both professional basketball players, they both play for the Lakers, they both have to attend all practices, film sessions, walkthroughs, etc. They both play significant minutes per game. Lebron makes $41 million per year and Austin Reaves makes $925,000. Both these players know exactly why that is. Austin is not arguing he isn't paid fairly because he makes less than Lebron and everyone knows it would be absurd for him to do so. Austin Reaves would also win MVP every season if he played in the wnba.

If the NBA champs played the WBNA champs, if they tried their hardest and went into lockdown mode on defense, playing man to man help defense, they literally could shut them out.

The thing to point out is that the NBA is not barred to women. If a woman had the skillset to play in the NBA, they are allowed to. And if a woman had a skillset in the top 10% of the NBA, she'd outearn a TON of male players.

There is only one professional sports league that prohibits co-ed play - and that is the WNBA. One might ask themselves why before bloviating about inequality and sexism in such a foolish way.

I hadn't realized who Clymer was. Not actually a woman, I misspoke there. A man, who is trans, who got kicked out of the women's restroom in DC of all places and of coursed published the incident.

They look pretty manly for the average trans person, makes me wonder if they are fully in, and have cut off the goods.

They call themselves lesbian also. Which is kinda odd, since they are a man in reality. Lots of trans folks really do look the part, but Clymer looks like a man with a dress.
