Oh shut up Tom Cotton! 😁
Find Bout again, only this time don't make it a law enforcement issue. Make it a counterterrorism operation. Then we could use SEALs, Delta Force, Rangers, Boy Scouts, whoever to do an Osama bin Laden on him.
Unbelievable! Not one single word about Hunter Biden and Joe Biden accepting money from Ukraine Russia and China! But still on the January 6th facade. Get over your Trump derangement syndrome Chuck!
She a drug addict basket ball player for a proven-gun trafficker trade America
All we've done is teach Poop'n that Russia can kidnap Americans entering their country and get all of his friends released.
Did Cotten mention Paul Whelan to Trump as someone who was being held in Russia during the term of the GOP
The only assymetrical thing about this trade is the height difference between the two released parties. The fact y'all are seeing circumstances over the human in question indicates that there are too many prisoners held by the same governments who speak of 'assymetrical trades'. Y'all are the problem and not the People
Any American visiting Russia should sign a document that is says if detained they do not expect the USA to help.
The most powerful country in the world? Unless Americans stay at home and do not visit countries that are deemed as hostile, then the possibility of these incidents happening again is for sure. So what do you do? America must stop being an evil empire. The broader perception is that America is a bully and the only country that promotes war as a means of changing regimes.
I cannot stand that
BASKETBALL PLAYER!!!😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😢😢😢😢😢😢
A pretty serious display of weakness, trading an arms dealer for a basketball player.
i like her glasses!! vin the add lol
The GOP are funny lol and what do they think Trump were and is lol
Don't go to Russia
The media is trying so hard to tell us this was a good deal. It was a disgrace. Why was it so important for Griner to be returned before someone else? She should be last on the waiting list……
PUTIN: THE THIRD 3RD HEART ATTACK WILL BE THE LAST. REPENT NOW OF GENOCIDE. PLEASE.
Tom Cotton, you might say that the U. S. should never have released that Russian arms dealer for Griner. What you don’t understand is that that Biden and the Democrats take their orders from blacks and will do anything if the big mouths in BLM yell loud enough. You notice Whelan, a white man stays rotting in a Russian jail because he is white and that is the only reason. Biden and the Democrats don’t care about white people. They only care about loudmouth constantly complaining BLM big mouths. If the U. S. had the notorious Nazi Adolph Eichmann in jail and Griner was in an Argentina jail Biden would release Eichmann in an exchange or Himmler or any other war criminal in exchange for Griner if BLM told him too.

Another biden fuc1 up. HEY nbc , any news on the twitter cover up? Were you really a part of the cover up?
I'm sure alot of democrats are not happy about it. Taking a basketball convict home in exchange for a terrorist. Watch 2024. Thanks to the Biden administration for bringing down the democrats
Great news 🌹
Meet the PRESS
🌹🌹❤❤❤🌹🌹
You don't know how dangerous he is now I do 💯 times more dangerous 😂 anger bitterness violence equal to death my eyes are open
It’s embarrassing for republicans to say so many negative and horrible things about Biden hot they don’t say impeach him and I do question Biden’s irresponsible horrible decisions but I say respectfully impeach him especially due to his health problems. Republicans are looking politically horrible and like clowns because they speak on and on about Biden but never say impeach him so that tells me they are not truly concerned for the country but getting back in power for their political power trips. Republicans invented a miracle vaccine that they strongly encouraged but once they lost the White House they didn’t encourage it anymore and it seems trump was the only one still encouraging it but that wasn’t enough because the hospitals were full of dying republican supporters but they didn’t start dying until after republicans lost the White House because it wasn’t being encouraged anymore because democrats we’re in power and now in charge of the vaccines. Again it’s not about the people but governments political power’s. Look how democrats we’re saying take precautions and stay inside then republicans immediately especially Fox News employees saying go out and enjoy life never encouraging precautions. So you see how they play with peoples lives because of their political powers and obsessions, both side’s are to blame for much death from open borders and other neglect. Look how both sides we’re to busy battling that only two lousy stimulus checks we’re given to the poor during a horrible time of our lives. That’s why nothing is going good for governments
It's not just Republicans criticizing this deal. I haven't seen a single Democrat that likes it either. This was shameful.
The way I see it if people are not happy with Biden’s trades especially republicans then say impeach Biden but they don’t because they don’t want a black president nor another democrat president to take over because they’re afraid it’ll effect election percentage. Then stopped complaining
Since when is getting Americans out of the hands of dictators a real estate deal? And think of the psychological damage the Russians inflicted on her – it is going to take a long time for Griner to ever feel safe again.
I would also suggest to the Republicans that they put themselves in Griner's shoes and think about how they would feel if THEY were the ones in a Russian prison.
Fortunately, Biden understands that what is truly important is getting Americans back. Period. Especially since Griner was in serious danger in Russia – she is Black, a lesbian, and an American – everything Putin hates. She was only detained in the first place so that Putin could have a bargaining chip.
So what if Bout is a bad guy. He'll never be able to leave Russia again because if he does, he will be snatched up and returned to the US to finish his sentence.
Imagine watching Saving Private Ryan. Instead we saved a confessed drug addict that broke the law for the release of an international weapons dealer that armed child soldiers for Charles Taylor of Liberia. Can Biden get more woke than that on foreign policy. Explain this to the child soldiers whose ENTIRE life is ruined.

We have are own Merchant of Death wrongdoer's born and bred right here in the United States of America. All bs about this trade is only propaganda and those who oppose this and demand the marine to be brought home immediately should stop and reevaluate what they wish for. The crazed Putin can easily accommodate us and send the marine in pieces, since everyone is assuming the marine be brought back alive.
The merchant of death for the smoker of hash oil…..what a deal!
This exchange was 100 percent for political gain. There is no hiding from that. Any denial of that fact is disingenuous. Especially when there are many other non-high profile Americans held in Russian custody under similar circumstances who have been there longer and still remain there now.
