Biden puts his base, lefties and black nationalists, first and America last. No responsible leader who cares about American lives would have done this. And had Trump or any Republican president done this, the media would be having a fit about putting celebrities with special access ahead of national security.
Meanwhile, Paul Whelan, a former Marine, who is the wrong race, white, the wrong sexual orientation and sex, was left behind by Biden.
That’s equity for you.
The Biden administration didn’t even try negotiating with Russia for the release of anti-American WNBA pothead Brittney Griner, just offered Victor Bout straight up.
Who’s Bout? A very, very bad guy.
Bout was convicted of conspiracy to kill US citizens and officials, deliver anti-aircraft missiles and provide aid to a terrorist organisation.
During Bout’s trial, which began on 12 October, prosecutors said the weapons had been intended to arm the group against what Bout had called a common enemy: US forces supporting the Colombian government.
In the opening statements of his trial the prosecution alleged that Bout had agreed to deliver 100 surface-to-air missiles, 20,000 high-powered rifles and 10m rounds of ammunition to rebels in Colombia in 2008.
They told the jury that Bout had been told the weapons would be used to target US pilots working with Colombian officials.
Prosecutors say Bout replied: “We have the same enemy.”
And then there are the alleged Hezbollah ties.
That changed, he said, by the time Bout met with Hezbollah guerrilla leaders in Lebanon in 2006. That meeting apparently led to the delivery of late Soviet-era anti-tank weapons and rocket propelled grenades. Hezbollah immediately used these weapons in the summer 2006 war with Israel.
And then there’s Al Qaeda.
One of Bout’s first known missions on behalf of an al Qaeda-related entity occurred during the Bosnian War. In 1992, Sudan, which was then a hotbed for jihadism, helped arrange shipments of weapons to the Third World Relief Agency (TWRA), which was arming jihadists in Bosnia.
The TWRA is one of those organizations that defies common myths about al Qaeda and how it has operated. On TWRA’s board sat Wael Julaidan, a co-founder of al Qaeda, and Hassan Cengic, a Bosnian official who served as an Iranian intelligence agent and organized arms shipments from Tehran. Meanwhile, the TWRA received tens of millions of dollars from Saudi sources, including the royal family.
Hope Brittney being able to jeer the anthem while smoking pot here is worth the innocent lives this will cost. The media keeps going on about Republicans helping Putin, they and their puppet just gave Putin his biggest win yet. And Biden has also incentivized hostage-taking by enemy regimes.
well, let’s hope anyone killed by BiteMe’s new buddy – once he picks up a few Stingers from BiteMe’s OTHER allies (Taliban) and blows some planes outta the sky – that those friends and relatives will DO something about it, now that we obviously live in a post-Constitutional, post-law environment.
Complete non-seqitur that Whelan would have been hypothetically released instead of Grimer in the exchange. What is wrong if a Black person is released? How is Griner anti-American? Is it just because of her race?
the lowlife objected to our national anthem being sung at events – who the f#@k is she to make demands and whine to the US th help her when her dumbass lands in a hellhole prison – let her live in a russian gulag
she boycotted the national anthem
Not such a non-sequitur – NBC reported that an unnamed source told them Biden had the choice of Whelan or Grimer and chose the latter. Yes, the source is unnamed, but it’s exactly the kind of thing Biden and the Democrats would do – they have no honor and certainly don’t have America’s best interests in mind.
Well, you see, if Biden runs again, he’ll need the support of the Dem’s far left base. Getting an anti-American black, female, lesbian who stupidly thought Moscow was a Berkeley, CA, into which she could freely bring drugs released gets him points with them. Getting a patriotic straight white male who served his country in combat who did nothing wrong wrong released doesn’t. So for an unprincipled self-centered clod like Biden it was, as one might appropriately say, a no-brainer.
You hit the nail on the head! No-brainer is a perfect description of Biden.
Isn’t that a shame.
In more than one way – this was an bad deal, but Putin doesn’t have to waste resources housing the anti-American.
What dose that liberal rag Time think of their Person of the Year now? noting that Hitler was their 1938 Man of the Year
This is disgusting even by Greenfield’s standards. She smokes pot???? The horror! She should die in a Russian gulag!
she was sentenced to 9 years in prison
plenty of Americans convicted of drug charges abroad get hit with similar sentences and the government does nothing for them
why did Biden mobilize everything for her?
your stupidity is astounding – I’m sure you don’t mind that an American marine will continue to languish in a russian jail, but it’soooooooo important for an America hating pot head lesbo to be sprung – get lost, clown
Gulag? Uh, … no. Prison, yes. Evidently, Russian criminal justice is hip to the latest medical research on marijuana. Heavy use is correlated with mental illnesses (plural), and it has been shown to lower IQ significantly over time. There’s nothing healthy about marijuana especially because of the potency of it today. Pot has dumbed down generations. Wise up.
Yeah the entire tech industry and half the rich people smoke it.
Russia is not at the forefront of any medical research, except when people pass through fleeing temporarily, which doesn’t count.
There are many mental illnesses that are worsened by weed and prédispositions can be brought out, and the same ones are treated with other types of weed containing different forms of CBD and THC.
When I go to the USA, the only engineers I can get a single sentence through smoke weed. It does cause short-term memory loss, you have to remind them what they said and its back again, but it’s arrogance that hides intelligence, if you are smart or not I’ll never know, too arrogant to deal with in the other cases.
There are many countries with excellent education systems that smoke more weed than Americans per Capita. I’m going to say what is making the average guy dumb and the smart guy bray like a donkey is not weed.
I assume because of all the arrogant self-important vitriol in the nation, Americans that smoke weed are usually very humble and it’s possible to get some work done there on a rare occasion when there is one of them.
As for lesbians hell no.
So it pretty much comes down to IQ…. Musk manages 5 huge busineses and has a toke occasionally. Losers smoke a lot and accomplish nothing. They are totally govt. dependent parasites…. That’s what you’re saying, right?
“Yeah the entire tech industry and half the rich people smoke it.”
I don’t believe anyone successful is a frequent user of cannabis. Yet they may have smoked it before on occasion. But anyone who gets seriously into cannabis has their whole nervous system affected by it. They slow down, lose motivation, and eventually with daily use become easily irritable. As the chemical mimics the natural neurotransmitters used to calm you down and bring back your appetite after an adrenaline fueled fight or flight incident, heavy use weakens this natural system and you become dependent on ingestion of the chemical to keep your system in balance. It’s also a muscle relaxant, ever take a muscle relaxant proscribed by a doctor after an injury? You have no energy or get up and go to do anything. So yes, while these people may have smoked it before, I doubt they are productive achievers if they become heavy users, it will cause peoples careers to slide, and prevent them from success in the first place if they start early enough as seems very common with today’s youth. Remember those 80s burnouts from broken homes in your high school class? They were all losers.
nothing wrong with weed – but only morons take drugs thru airports and to other countries
You’re probably not smart enough to understand this, but the issue wasn’t the triviality of her offense (smoking weed); it was what we had to give up to get her back. Prisoners are in this context valuable resources and we have to give up someone valuable in order to get one of our own back. This was a question of making a good bargain and “Biden” (or whoever is really running things) made a very bad one: we got an ungrateful anti-American pothead when we could have gotten Whelan or possibly one of our foreign agents back instead.
Another angle is that Bout was so bad the case can be made we shouldn’t have traded him for anyone (and certainly not for Griner). Anyway you look at it, this is another big error for the Obama/Biden gang.
She didn’t “smoke pot.” She brought THC laced vaping cartridges into a country where they are illegal. See, unlike the current U.S., some countries have enough regard for themselves that they actually take their laws seriously and enforce them.
You suck dicks and nobody gives you shit about that.
You lefty homos ask too much.
Egregious, but about what I expected from Brandon.
One thing I have been thinking about, I bet she hasn’t learned anything from her experiences, and goes back to bashing USA.
Not a Lesbian, it’s a dude.
That thing isn’t a lesbian, it’s a filthy, disgusting, anti-American, TRANNY pervert. Yes folks, Brittney has a dick!
She’ll go back to smoking pot. He’ll go back to selling arms and drugs. They have a common thread in that they both hate America.
Another abject failure in JoJo Cabbage Brain Biden’s regime.
That’s a good point. As soon as she gets back to her old environments, she will go back to her old habits.
Is it Biden or is it whoever black racist puppet master?
Two Russian prisoners considered: Marc Fogel and Brittney Griner.
Marc Fogel is a history teacher (10 years teaching in Russia) arrested in Russia in August, 2021 for possession of legally prescribed medical marijuana:
https://www.newsy.com/stories/american-marc-fogel-detained-in-russia-over-marijuana/
Brittney Griner an America-hating 2-time Olympic gold medalist basketball player arrested in February 2022 for possession of medical marijuana.
Marc Fogel and Brittney Griner have very similar circumstances behind their arrests. Why the different treatment? Why is Griner famous for her arrest and Fogel almost unknown?
Differences: Fogel has a low intersectional score, and therefore lower political capital. Brittney has a very high intersectional score: black, female, lesbian.
The special treatment given Griner will no doubt solidify her victim mentality and we can expect more of the same from this mostly repugnant human being. But what if she uses her notoriety to advocate for Fogel? This would be a delightful sign of personal growth.
White house claims it was Brittney or no one. Are we really so weak? We had their high-profile arms dealer.
Joe Biden with his politically correct ideology along with his PC administration would choose such character as Graner instead of the right choice of having Paul Whelan to be freed.
For Biden and his administration are an abomination to everything that is wise, good .fair decent and just.
Biden will always make the anti-American choice, even when not paid to do so..
Everything politically correct Joe Biden and his PC administration does an abomination to everything that is wise, good and right
Joe Biden by this, is ,again, showing his true colors, Which are Red and Green meaning that of the Red/Green alliance’
That is the Communist- Islamic alliance.
But………she has tattoos. And really broad shoulders, like a man. I guess I missed the Disney version, where she’s a little mermaid.
Biden in Office worst President in Americas over 240 year history
