Tough to decide whether swapping Rodman for Griner is a plus or a minus! Decisions, decisions.

Your shit doesn’t cut the mustard in Russia.
You’re not in the racist USA any more, people of any race, color or religion matter not. You have no rights.

Another publicity junket for Rodman, the only way to stay keep his name afloat.

Oh, I'll take Rodman back into this country, easy choice. At least he's still friends with Trump, who he did not really like much as POTUS, but he recently described as "fucking cool as fuck...I look at him like a friend. He can carry a torch with me anytime.."

Yeah, it wouldn’t be the bottle of vodka he drinks nightly.

Oh, prospects are lookin' pretty dim now, Britt. You might want to start learning a bit of the Russian language which might make your stay better. For instance "Я всегда играю мужчину" will make prison dating go smoother.

Ha ! Too bad they don't have any computers with google translator.

I heard the current procedure is to get a soviet style mullet, immediately followed by a full head shave, with the barber laughing and yelling "Fake out !!"

Maybe they will divide her 10 year sentence into 5 for her and 5 for him. Let them serve it together as room mates. As spoiled as both are, one will surely kill the other. But its OK. The world will be a better place with one or both dead.
