Too bad for BG! There should be no crazy jail time for that BS and we ALL know Russia is milking it but, THEIR LAWS ARE THEIR LAWS! She knew it was a war going on AND she knew what she had in her bag! Why should the US move mountains and give up ANY leverage we have to save this chick🤔 Man, worry about bringing down fkn GAS prices that affect us ALL before, you worry about BG and her poor choices! Sorry but, I TRULY DGAF!
And yes, if it were LeBron, he would have BEEN home! Facts are facts but, I STIL DGAF!
Don’t sh!t where you eat. Why don’t her wife and her supporters go over Russia and demand her release.
What’s also funny…All forms of weed are illegal in the WNBA.
Hardly the crime of the century. We live in a sick world of corrupt man-made rules and laws which only serve land thieves, warmongers and corruption in high places. Hope Brittney doesn't end up like Oscar Warmbier.
Trump got the Ball kid out of China. If not for the war we wouldn’t have the optics nightmare and would be able to get her back. Griner is out of luck right now.
She made a mistake at the worst time to make a mistake. She’s not a national hero, and Lebrain James is still an idiot.
“ I didn’t know it was against the law to commit double murder” regards Oj Simpson
Lmfao she getn Russian muff n not even given a fk bout fatasswifey;) LICK IT CLEAN AND ENJOY UR STAY IN RUSSIA. HAHHHHHA. ALL THE NIGUHZ CANT SAVE U
This what happen when progressive is allow to do what they want here in us soil, think they doesn’t have to follow others people country law. You might be above the law for being black here in America and you used to that, in other countries you won’t be, because color doesn’t matter. Being black in America at the moment is a privilege. Not anywhere else in the world. Let this be a lesson and don’t think you above everybody else’s laws. Some of y’all might say is a race thing due to my comment above, but if they allow her there before and in a number of years, this situation is just merely her action that cause a reaction.
"My wife is wrongfully detained in Russia." Ummm no, your wife smuggled illegal drugs into Russia and got caught. She's the one who is in the wrong. No sympathy for this celebrity.
Phelps wasn't detained anywhere, no one left behind, is not on this America's agenda anymore
Where did she get them, or was it planted
the real crime is saying you can post up cousins
She’s top of mind for the president lmao, nothing else is near the top of the list
Poor poor child
She was so oppressed in America
Hope she's enjoying her freedom in Russia and never has to hear the awful national anthem ever again
Boohoo sniff sniff
Still didn't let her go?… Russia's mad at the USA/ & War… Somebody tells Russia they can't bargain with Reiner. The news Will won't🚫 blow it up this injustice like some blonde hair white girl! It's weed‼️ She lost $mill already +served 6 months! just deport her back😡!
let her rot , you think this senile pos is going to put in any effort to get her out
Wow these comments is weird for a nonviolent crime. You would think she blew some people up. It's a dug people use daily to help with pain, not sure why everyone wants to criminalize her like she was selling it.
Keep that thing there and let it rot. Maybe it'll commit suicide 👍
no way Biden called her and her lover!! after all we have going on in the states, a president would spend time on a criminal who hates America!!! no way he called her!!
Let her stay there forever
If a white American man in Russia was arrested for the same thing do you think it would have got 99% less media coverage?
Is there a double standard?
She should stay in Russia along with sending Rapinno there and LeBron.
I hope Russia throws the book at this pathetic reprobate hater of America!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lock her away forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
But won't Griner have time to get more tattoos while she is in prison?
The Marine has been home for 2 months. He rotted for over 3 years. Biden got him back. Chump was too busy kissing Putins communist ass. The MAGA cult can’t handle those FACTS. Obama got Bin Laden.
If it were Tom Brady the US would’ve REALLY stepped in and he’d been home the next day. She’s being tried as a trafficker while having only 1 gram. However taking anything illegal to a foreign country is a dumb ass thing to do.
KEEP HER KEEP HER KEEP HER
Shes scared as hell.. the Russian women are more of a man than she is.. " yes dear, no dear….help me mr president!!!"
She should just take a knee to protest, after all she did that in America.
And now America is supposed to get her out of jail in an Actual oppressive Country.
She’s in jail not because of a mistake, but due to absolute stupidity.
