Brettney looks like IT
Why does she look and sound like a man 🧐
Send the “athlete” back.
I still wonder who wants to serve in the armed forces of this country??? what a disgrace.
If US Military gave convicted Paul prison time, Paul would not be in Russia's jail. Either way he is in jail. Bout & Griner similar remaining prison time. CONs being pro-guns put US in great risk daily. Always a danger to travel over-sea. I worry more about the CONs than Bout. GOP=CONs
TOO BAD SHE DIDNT FINISH THE WHOLE 9 YEARS AND WE LET THE REAL PATRIOT OUT,!!
Did she ever look sad? NO! Her wife probably wanted her back more than she wanted to leave. Being put with all those 'bad girls' would have been something that Brittney would have loved. She prob made lifelong new friends and lovers. The Prez , her wife ruined it for her.
It didn't take long for NBC to attack anyone who believed that this wasn't a good trade as "MAGA", as if you either agree with the left or you're a Trump toady. What a hateful stance.
Then, quick as a flash, the race card was thrown: if you didn't rejoice that Griner was being released, then the only reason possible for not following in lockstep with the cheering throng means you have to be a racist.
This is the group of "inclusion, diversity, freedom of speech and action".
The Left would rather have a bad, tilted, uneven trade than no trade. Sorry, I think it was an awful deal. Trading a doper for a murdering arms dealer? Pass!
He broke the law obviously. It's Russia stupidity and then gets off. Putin cashed in.
The merchant of death for a basketball player? I voted for you Biden but WTF!!!
Where is Miguel Almaguer?
The people of ukraine will soon start paying for this trade with their lives, keep feeling proud of yourselves for getting her home and waving her around like a victory flag while ukraine gets bombed more everyday 👏👏 good job america 👏👏
An athlete for an arms dealer? Foolish!
The most stupidity of biden is priceless lol
I bet she feels even more empowered to betray America even more now that she's gotten away with breaking the law AGAIN that she'll get right back to doing what she wants instead of following the law. She went over there to earn a million dollars in one year and acts like she has some moral high ground. She's GREED IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL she will continue breaking the law over here and not get caught, she's learned her lesson well.
Why did you change the original story you wrote, stating that Russia gave the choice of the marine, or Griner, or no one, to stating that Russia gave the choice of Griner or no one?
They let out the death angel for her?
I bet she scissored her wife and took a dump on the American flag! Welcome home Joanna man!
I am so glad we got our America hating drug smuggler, Brittney Griner, back.
With this latest prisoner exchange, Biden just stabbed Ukraine in the back.

The merchant of death is non binary.
Gun Dealer for a Transgender…..Bad Trade
The merchant of death for a ball dribbler, way to go Joe. She's an ingrate, still I didn't cheer when she was arrested, but how stupid do you have to be to not know that Russia and weed don't mix?
Putin has every reason to gloat over this. The United States is now the laughingstock of the world.
Not worth the trade
Real Americans stand for the anthem, even if they have bone spurs.
BOOOOOOOOO! 👎👎👎
UNFAIR AND UNJUST
TOTAL BS
OTHER'S HAVE BEEN THERE LONGER THAN HER BRING THEM BACK FIRST
SHE'S NOT ENTITLED
HER OWN FAULT SHE WAS THERE. ONLY OBVIOUS YOU DON'T BRING CONTRABAND WITH YOU WHEN TRAVELING TO AND FROM RUSSIA
TRADE AN IRRESPONSIBLE RECREATIONAL DRUG USER FOR A MERCHANT OF DEATH TERRORIST ?
NO WAY !
TOTAL BS
She protested the American Anthem. Let her rot in jail
Why she is back ? he broke the law she should be in prison
That's too bad. Prison becomed her.
I give it 3 months before it kneels during the Star Spangled Banner
She probably went straight out and scored a joint.
I don't think God approves of her or this trade.
So many more deserving.
She should rot in prison for breaking another nations laws.
I bet she's straight now she back in America
is this the same WNBA star Brittney Griner that wouldn't stand for the national anthem? and said dam America america just got punked out,
That's definitely her, there is better photo of bigfoot
So apparently you serve our country you aren't a American hero but you change your gender you get a heroes lifestyle
I don't think Griner was worth the price paid. Just 'on paper' alone the columns don't tally.
Wonder if she's high at this moment
I'm sure there's a lot of people who don't care whether she's back. Gee whiz, didn't get physical fitness time, ! Joe Biden and the Democrats are a disgrace to this country, this is a bad trade.
Biden seriously screwed over Americans to get a pat on the back from his Party. He did a great evil in this.
Griner should have been freed, but not this way, and not while leaving a more deserving American behind, & not before US veterans in jail for using pot for PTSD are set free and apologized to.
My comments disappear.
Britney Griner is a man.
Hey Mitchell!
Both democrats and republicans think it was a horrendous deal.
