  1. NBC told the truth about Biden making a choice between Griner and Whelan – then NBC lied to get out of the truth they had told! They did the same with the Pelosi story, told the truth then lied to get out of it and fired the journalist who had told the truth!

  2. Gun control debate is now null and void!
    Just when you think this administration can't get any more dumber, Biden says hold my beer!

  3. This is disgusting Boycott the WNBA

  4. The only reason this criminal was helped by the White house is because of her sexual orientation and ethnicity from birth. There is a name for this I believe… lol

  5. Please give her the bill for the flight and man power to do this for a person who didn’t like the United States

  6. According to John Bolton today, Trump was offered the same trade for Paul Whelan, but Trump let him rot in Russia.

  7. Who cares about her? …smh.

  8. First wnba trade to make front page news.

  14. Biden: The Corona virus is a threat to the safety of Americans so wear a mask. Dangerous arms dealers are ok though.

  15. An leave a white marine there🤔🤔

  16. I'm curious, I wonder what John McCain would think about all of this if he were alive….

  17. The Transgressive Democrat Woke Cult Prizes this disgusting woman just because she is a
    Pot Smoking
    America Hating
    Black Lesbian
    WMBA player
    And it doesn’t matter if we give up
    The Merchant Of Death
    A man some called the most dangerous man alive (at the time of his capture)

    Democrats Hate America and Americans

  18. Honestly, it's good that she is released….but at what cost to the future of possible dead Ukranians and Americans…this gives me pause…Biden has played this well politically, but unlike myself, I can't help but think a lot of the silent majority are seething, which doesn't bode well…

  19. But they left Paul who has been there twice as long. Guess we know who they value.

  20. FINALLY!! The Democrats have done something about illegal guns.

  21. Enjoy your freedom BG and remember a United States Marine Veteran is paying the price for it, courtesy of dementia joe and the democrats.

  22. I am sure Viktor Bout thanks you Joe and Brittney. Enjoy having the blood of the people he helps murder on you hands. I hope it was worth it.
