Everything that is said this man (Bout) has done re: weapons and arming enemies of the United States, the not most beloved president of the United States (FJB) has done in spades in Iraq! Not only has he(FJB) Given arms he has also Given a complete infrastructure of equipment, bases and airstrip, motorized vehicles and aircraft, FREE GRATIS. FJB is a master arms dealer.
Edited to add FJB is not a dealer because he never sold it to Iraq, he just Gave it away.

So gun-control President frees arms dealer.

Arming everyone but Americans.

Brittney Griner Flees Back to Russia in Terror After Seeing American Flag



LOS ANGELES, CA – Freed WNBA player Brittney Griner has fled back to Russia after seeing an American flag for the first time in months. Griner spotted the flag near the tarmac of Los Angeles International Airport upon the arrival of her flight from Russia and had a negative reaction to the sight.

"AAHHHHH! The symbol of my oppression!" said Griner through tears. "When I see the American flag, I see slavery. I see Jim Crow. I see George Floyd. I see a country that does not care about black people, particularly not black members of the LGBTQ community."

"Only 3 minutes here and my very existence is already threatened by this American flag!"

The move came as a shock to many and was interpreted as a slap in the face to the Biden administration. "We worked so hard to free her. We told Putin he could have anything he wanted with no conditions whatsoever," said a Biden official who chose to remain anonymous. "Why would she go back to Putin? That just makes us look bad!"

Several activists sided with Griner. "They let her sit in Russia for almost a year," said nonbinary LGBTQ activist Nicole Owens. "And they only traded her for one guy. That's an insult. She is worth at least seven Russian Arms dealers." Other activists blamed the WNBA. "She barely makes a living wage," said Women's Rights activist Lena Hogan. "Her WNBA contract is only for $220,000 a year. She has to go to Russia to make any real money."

Griner is scheduled to arrive back in Moscow this evening.

Yup…

IMHO, she is not worth even one. She is not worth anything. She is terrified of an American Flag? We sure wasted a trade for her.

Flashguy… that article was from the Babylon Bee. It’s satire.

Except it isn't really. Her ilk always trash this country, disrespect the flag, kneel and what have you. Then when they find out they have no "privilege" outside the US and actually have to follow the law, they whine for big-USA to come save them.

Her life was never in danger, she just an entertainer that tried to smuggle illegal drugs into a hostile-to-USA country. The Marine risked his life many times for his country.

Congratulations. In this thread, you're "that guy".

Developing a sense of humor might help.

Sure it's satire and it's hilarious.

My point is that she was an America-hating, national anthem denigrating POS like Kapernick, until she needed help from her imagined "oppressive" government to save her from a real oppressive government. Maybe she will change her tune a little, but we'll have to wait and see.

If my intent did not reflect in my wording that I can correct it.

Man, loosen up

OK.

Sorry. I didn't see the byline at the bottom.

Nevertheless, my comment about her not being worth 7 arms dealers stands. And it is still a wasted trade.

flashguy

Oh, enough. Damn. It's satire FFS. You don't need to point out the truths in it, because satire reveals those truths. That is its entire purpose. Let's move on, please.

No lie detected here!

Oh, look, it's Sheila Jackson Lee, brilliant as ever.

"His weapons might have been used to kill Americans, but he has not killed Americans." Fucking brilliant.

Lee justifies swapping 'Merchant of Death' for Brittany Griner

Did Jackson just unknowingly fall on the side of “guns don’t kill people, people kill people?”

And they left the Marine behind. Leaving people behind seems to be a systemic problem with the Biden administration.

Also left behind is Marc Fogel, an American schoolteacher who was caught with a small amount of marijuana in mid 2021, and has been in labor camps ever since. Not a peep out of the White House or media about a "wrongful detainment". He happens to be the wrong color and gender.

This is who we conservatives need to be talking about. Paul Whelan is the one the media talks about because he was arrested when Trump was in office so they can blame share his situation, and Whelan was arrested on different, more severe, charges so the left can say that his case is being treated differently by the Russians. Also it seems like Whelan wasn’t really all that great of a Marine or person.

They don’t want to talk about Marc Fogel though because despite being arrested at the same place for the same crime as Griner, the Biden admin never labeled him as wrongfully detained. He was also arrested during Biden’s admin several months before Griner.

They can deflect on Whelan but can’t on Fogel which is why the media is completely silent on him.

Fogels mistake is being not black, not being a lesbian, and not hating America. Maybe he should declare himself all these things if he really wants his repatriation expedited. That would actually make for an excellent Babylon Bee article…
