Let this be a message to our younger demographic. Don't fool around with other countries drug laws. I remember on our flight to SPAIN they showed us Midnight Express 3 times. Being US Navy you could still wind up in a Spanish prison if caught with hash.

Griner is learning a very hard lesson

Brittney Griner has reportedly been moved to a Russian forced labor camp in the midst of serving her nine-year sentence in the country’s prison system.
The WNBA star will reportedly endure harsh conditions in the “penal colony,” with Fox News reporting that it will be difficult for her family to contact her or even know her exact location. This move follows the Phoenix Mercury center’s appeal being denied by Russian courts in October.

“Every minute that Brittney Griner must endure wrongful detention in Russia is a minute too long,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement early Wednesday morning (Nov. 9). “As the Administration continues to work tirelessly to secure her release, the President has directed the Administration to prevail on her Russian captors to improve her treatment and the conditions she may be forced to endure in a penal colony.”
Jean-Pierre reiterated the government’s intention of helping Griner and other inmates in any way possible. “The U.S. Government is unwavering in its commitment to its work on behalf of Brittney and other Americans detained in Russia – including fellow wrongful detainee Paul Whelan.”


 
Yep...Biden is doing a reeeeeeal great job of getting her out of that mess :rolleyes:

What would you want him to do, specifically and why do you think they are not weighing all possiblities?

She was framed, obviously.

He's had 9 months to "weigh all possibilities". How much more time does he need?
 
Yep, when traveling internationally you ain't in America anymore.
They don't care that you are an American who flaunts drug laws in our country. They will lock you up and keep you. If Griner actually had the stuff then she messed up.
 
Oh? What kind of bargain were they going to get for a female basketball player?
Well Biden was willing to trade the guy who was the real life inspiration for Nick Cage’s character in Lord of War for her.
 
She's Black, a woman and a Lesbian... Like any Trumpster would give a rats ass about her if there wasn't a Democrat in the WH.. Lol
 
Ding ding ding
Wouldn't that actually mean that they got a good one? And that this administration would do anything and everything in their power to secure her release?
Offering up a real life criminal for a citizen might not be the best trade but it certainly would look bad on this administration for not doing it, amongst their base, no?
 
Sad how Trumpsters are putting all the blame for this on Biden.. And no blame on Putin..

Trumpsters are commies and traitors..
