if it was an ordinary citizen nothing can be done by biden, but if a oriviledged black lesbian then they get noticed,
Do the crime do the time!
Hilarious…
She hated our country now begs for our help. HA! Let her rot.
Another spoiled American brat who finds out how the rest of the world operates.
After all this I bet she wont be bending the knee on basketball court
Her and LaMelo

Then: "america sucks!"
Now: "america, help!"
She didn’t do anything good in Russia lol
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Russia can keep the POS.
Section 8 vibes
Being held in prison for 10 years on heavy drug charges for a small amount of cannabis oil, does not equate to you did the crime do the time rhetoric. Although cannabis oil is illegal in Russia. She is not being charged for having cannabis oil. She is being charged with drug trafficking. That is not the same. Comprehension should be fundamental for adults. Anything can be said to be illegal it does not make it lawful to human rights or even legitimate.
Funny how she is asking the US government for help when she has protested against the United States and has failed to stand up for the National Anthem. I hope she spends at least 10yrs in a Russian gulag. God bless these Untied States of America…
You can’t do whatever you want in a foreign country she thought she was going to get away with it..
I thought she said that American is a “Racist and Terrible” country? I thought she’d be a lot happier in Russia. Let her stay there.
Keep her over there. She protested against the US when she lived here and refused to stand for the national anthem.
Hope she ❤️ Russia’s anthem.
Lock her up for life
She committed a crime. Nobody cares that this entitled brat now has to pay for the consequences for her actions. She isn’t worth making a deal with Russia over.
The government will make a private deal to get her freed so they won’t be called out on their hypocrisy for not doing the same for the rest of the people locked up in the US for the same offense.
Kamala Harris is trying to get Brittney Griner out of jail for drug possession when she personally imprisoned thousands of Americans for the same thing and even kept them in jail longer than their sentences when she was Attorney General
So let me get this straight. This skank who hates America wants America to get her out of jail. What I really, really want to know is, why are we just now hearing about this drug smuggler? It happened in February. Why now? Other than that, she hates America so much, I say let's let her get to know Russia. I'm sure she'll like it better.
I hate the USA but what the USA to help me, see you in 10 years
Brittany looks like a dude. Let Russia have her.
MIDNIGHT EXPRESS
She broke the law . She hates our country . She dissed our flag and anthem . I really hope she likes her new country
It’s a he or she?
