She's a total anti-American POS.

But, 10 years for some weed?

Would you guys feel the same way if this happened to Kid Rock? lol
He is smart enough to not leave the country to make a quick buck like this POS and has been publicly vocal about "no desire to play in other countries" with exception for the troops.

I find that case even more baffling, certainly the 15 or 16 year sentence, but WTF, that "Teacher" taught in Russia for 10 years and many more in other foreign countries, and either intentionally or absent mindedly, entered with 1/2 ounce of med weed. If intentional, wouldn't a highly educated person check before assuming that some doc's prescription would suffice and waltzing in with it ???? Especially considering his experience abroad ???????????

His sister has been on several news shows trying to get him part of the swap.

They did a story on him last night.
He was convicted of having somewhere over a half ounce of pot and is breaking rocks at a labor camp.

Brittney had cartridges of concentrated hashish oil, that is a felony even in this country.

Might be a felony where you live, certainly on a federal level. I don't partake, but I can drive a few miles and legally purchase that same vape oil with or without any prescription.
This in no way diminishes my opinion of her being a complete moron, especially considering her familiarity and years of experience playing in Russia. Possible that like that teacher, that familiarity bred complacency which we all know can be seriously problematic in life. I know in my occupation, like many, it will get you killed.

"Stressful and Traumatic" 🤣

Russian Court Denies Brittney Griner's Appeal Of 9-Year Sentence​


A Russian court has denied WNBA star Brittney Griner's appeal Tuesday morning (October 25), upholding her nine-year prison sentence on drug charges.

The 32-year-old athlete appeared in Moscow Regional Court via video conference for the hearing, according to NBC News. Griner is expected to be moved to a penal colony to serve out her sentence. Now that her appeal has been rejected, her freedom hinges on a potential prisoner swap between the United States and Russia.

U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan slammed the decision, calling it "another sham judicial proceeding."

"President (Joe) Biden has been very clear that Brittney should be released immediately," he said, adding that the Biden Administration "continued to engage with Russia through every available channel and make every effort to bring home Brittney as well as to support and advocate for other Americans detained in Russia, including fellow wrongful detainee Paul Whelan."

Before the appeal verdict was handed down, Griner asked for an adjustment to her sentence in a statement read in court. She described her time behind bars as "stressful" and "traumatic." Maria Blagovolina, one of the WNBA star's attorneys, told reporters her client was "quite pessimistic about the outcome" before Tuesday's hearing.

Griner was arrested at a Moscow airport back in February after Russian authorities found cannabis oil canisters in her luggage. Her legal team maintained she wasn't aware of the country's strict rules on marijuana.

Take the "Celebrity" name away and no one would care. I really hope the US does not do anything stupid like a prisoner exchange. Russia is not asking for a poster person in exchange. They are asking for war criminals and murders.

Honestly, I don't agree with but I respect Russia enforcing there border laws. If a law it written it should be enforced or repealed - not ignored.

I'm surprised Sleepy Joe hasn't made a trade yet..

Will not occur until after the election.
When you research who Russia wants, it would be leveraged in an election.
Idiots handlers are not that stupid.

Do the crime, serve the time. Way too many normal US citizens are in Russia jails and the US is doing nothing.

Awesome.
So we trade a convicted arms dealer with a 25 year sentence for a pot smoking tranny who knowingly took his vape dope into Russia…while we let American patriots sit in gulags. And we celebrate it as a victory?
Fuck this pos and fuck Biden.
Absolutely disgusting.
