  1. I feel very bad for the wasted opportunity she could have had. But look on the bright side. When she gets out, she'll be clean, sober and bilingual in Ebonics and Russian.

  2. They can keep shim

  3. Sad reality is there are many more UNGRATEFUL, ANTI-AMERICAN Millenial Brats being pampered by the current Progrressive Liberal White House who need to learn the same lesson about how We the People fought and died for our FREEDOM & INDEPENDENCE to become the U.S.A.

  4. Where is Michelle Obama on this? The Russians know that Biden and Harris are very weak and they have no respect for them. Michelle might have some impact, but the Russians clearly think her husband is a joke. Biden will sell the farm to get the basketball player home – but is she worth it?
    L

  5. Hates America and Embraced the Communists/Socialist Ideals….S(HE) is Home now….Enjoy Your Stay….

  6. Free whatshername. Russia should show some class and kick her out of Russia.

    People are arrogant.
    She has been entitled her entire life then her lack of sophistcation ie.not knowing Russian laws and how they deal with people, assuming she can do whatever.
    She might not do 10 years but her career will be long past by the time she gets out.
    Just another blow to the wokes. That movement is losing momentum.
    Russia is much more conservative than the US.

  7. She can kneel for the Russian flag now

  8. Russia must be systematically racist.

  9. My baby cousin got 5 years in prison for 7 grams of weed, which is two 8th, on her first ever offense. So why is this bish so special and above the law.

  10. Never forget she had been to Russia 12 times before so she knew she was breaking the law. Also until Joe releases every U.S. prisoner locked up for weed he can S.T.F.U.

  11. You take illegal drugs into a totalitarian country you are a fool and get what you deserve. Suck it up.

  12. When you break another country's laws you subject to there laws and punishment. It doesn't matter if it's Russia or any other country. She broke the law now she has to deal with it. She's no victim.

  13. Ok you wack jobs! People bring drugs into our country there facing life,
    This DUDE! Knowingly brought drugs into Russia, admitted it! Because he thought he was above the law! And why the hell would HE want to come back here? He hates America, and Americans! He has a lot of balls asking for America's help!

  14. Dreadful!

    Goodness gracious what shall we do!?

  15. So Ms. Griner,
    How bad is America now?

  16. Maybe she will find Jesus and disavow her wicked lifestyle choices while she has time to reflect in Russia, an Orthodox Christian nation.

  17. Lmao rip bozo, see you in 9 years

  18. Good ! Keep the trash over there in prison were she can teach her new daddywife her pronouns and she can identify as a prison chew toy.

  19. Well in 9 years there will be any America to come back to…..she is the lucky one here.

  20. Have a nice stay Brittney Griner.. you hated America until you needed her.. the same country you took a knee to you're now begging for help.. my thoughts and prayers go out to the people who have to take care of you.

  21. First off, Brittney's a dude, second, good

  22. Keep her, we don't need her

  23. Good that dicke won't be missed any way

  24. Poetic justice will be served in the mens prison. That ain’t no lady

  25. You commit the Crime you do the time only politicians husbands get special treatment

  26. Brittney Griner is a convicted drug-smuggler and will be in a Russian penal colony (work camp) for a long time. The US GOV told her family and friends to remain quiet and let them do what they do. Well, Griner's wife, Cherelle decided to get on TV and talk about how the white house isn't doing enough at an Al Sharpten rally. Rev. is a criminal and has been for many years. No credibility. Also, the WNBA, NBA and mainstream media joined in and it went horribly wrong for Griner. Negotiating prisoner swaps through the media is a bad idea and it backfired on the US GOV, WNBA, NBA and the dirty "Shadetree" Rev AL. You can play the "race-card" in the USA, but not Russia. Her own people let her down, sorry as it is.

  27. I think she needs to stay in Russia, no way would I give up a criminal of war to free someone that doesn't like America

  28. it was prescribed by a doctor its casabas oil for her stress. shies not a big time smuggler you fool shies multimillionaire., white raciest media are not telling the truth they making out she went to Russia to sell drugs. if she was white shed. be home long time ago. how ever where is her white friends now? what about her Russian white basket BALL FRIeNDS….no one helped her because shies black. ..black people if you have white friends they never got your back. remember that

  29. She's lucky her punishment didn't include capital punishment —– like it would in most other countries when caught trafficking drugs.

    Too bad

    Don't do the crime if you can't do the time, felon !

  30. She smuggled hash oil into a foreign country. Period,! Why is her sentence considered to harsh? For her arrogance there are consequences. Ask Kamala about all the pot smokers she prosecuted and jailed. I’m sure they didn’t want to rot in jail either. Do not trade her for a murderer, I’m sure they will since it’s not in the best interest of the American people.

  31. Hopefully she’s going to be ok in Gulag 😂!

  32. Keep her over there. Maybe she’ll learn to appreciate America more.

  33. Release immediately? That old senile fool can't put together that many words to where it could be understood, putin needed a good chuckle today 😆

  34. Pretty sure Russians don't give fuk one about this American hating dope head athlete. They know that Biden will cave to woke pressure and will trade like 20 to 50 criminals for this America hater. Mark it

  35. Lol republicans are so scummy
