It also has to sting a bit knowing he has a part in getting the current buffoon elected president, and that if he hadn't been successful, I'm pretty sure Trump would have had her released by now. He or the left wouldn't admit that part I'm sure, but it would have been done by now.
Not only would LeBron not admit this, I doubt he has the awareness to understand it. If you have TDS, it's a full-on set of blinders.

I'm not a huge Trump fan, and I feel like I'm well aware of many of his painful weaknesses, but he also has a number of pronounced strengths, and he's great in situations like these. About 45-50% of our population can't recognize his strengths at all because they just dislike him so much.

That's why he should stop being a politician, start a massive media company, and be the next but much bigger Rush Limbaugh, but I digress.

After Putin milks this 'trial' for whatever bargaining chips needed......the hostage swap will occur.

One highly entitled , lesbian basketball player for one arms dealer who most certainly contributed to the deaths of several Americans .


However wokeness is politically more important to Biden than the mere deaths of US servicemen .
And Putin is fully aware of it .

Yep…it's disgusting that a selfish, drug using, entitled thug will be responsible for the release of a despicable arms dealer because of her ignorant choices. She should have to stand trial in the US, and face charges immediately upon her return.

Unlikely in my opinion, but you are certainly entitled to feel that way. In the end, she will be responsible for an arms dealer being released.

In fairness ...it will be Biden's woke base that forces the release of the arms dealer .

That he is responsible for the deaths of US servicemen doesn't penetrate their collective skulls.

I want to see Brittney home but this is a high price to pay and only encourages Russia to do things like this in the future. They ought to pack Bout's abdomen full of explosives and if he re-enters his previous line of work-detonate them.

Quote:
The Biden administration has "put a substantial proposal on the table" aimed at bringing WNBA star Brittney Griner and fellow jailed American Paul Whelan home from Russia, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Wednesday.

Blinken declined to offer details on the proposed deal with Russia, but convicted arms trafficker Viktor Bout has for years been atop the Kremlin's prisoner exchange wish list. Russian state media outlets have previously floated the possibility of an exchange involving Griner and Bout, sparking speculation that the so-called "Merchant of Death" was the Kremlin's preferred target.

A plan to trade Bout for Whelan and Griner has been under discussion since earlier this year and has recently received the backing of President Biden, CNN reported on Wednesday. Yahoo Sports reached out to Bout's attorney seeking to confirm the CNN report. Steve Zissou declined comment, citing the sensitivity of the situation at the moment.

In a Wednesday afternoon news conference at the Department of State, Blinken revealed that the U.S. informed Russia of its offer for Griner and Whelan "weeks ago." Russian officials have publicly said that they will not engage in negotiations with the U.S. involving Griner until after her criminal trial concludes.
And some of y'all been calling Trump, Putins *****. Now we see who Putins real ***** is, Biden if this deal goes through.


This is a TERRIBLE deal if in fact it is for real.

Hard for me to believe it is. Hopefully news comes out soon and Biden changes his mind.

Her rights were read to her. All none of them.

Interestingly, the 14th Amendment doesn't weigh very heavily in Russia.

Did some looking, and I found what they read to suspects arrested in Russia:

1. You have the right to praise Putin. If you give up the right to praise Putin, anything you, say, do, think or we can claim you said/did/thought will be used against you

2. you have the right to an attorney. It won't do you much good, but they can be funny and make us laugh, so hey, knock yourself out

That which does not kill me, will try again and get nastier

I think they're still using the staffer in the bunny costume to direct Biden through his days.
Our vibrations were getting nasty. But why? I was puzzled, frustrated... Had we deteriorated to the level of dumb beasts?
