If Biden wants to rescue Griner, all he has to do is to ask Donald Trump to intervene and negotiate her release. Trump was great at persuading intractable foreign governments to release Americans. After all, Putin and Trump are the two most salient politicians of the last half century.
In the alternative, Biden may have some success freeing Griner as a window will be opened when the U.S. stops shipping weapons to Ukraine. However, that window will not be open for too long inasmuch as Biden will be impeached once the new congress is formed. Not only impeached, but there is a chance that Biden might be convicted in the Senate, especially after his business relationships with China are exposed, although the two-thirds threshold for conviction would require a substantial number of Democrat defectors. Lastly, the new House of Representatives might consider impeaching Kamala as well as Biden. Both are incompetent.
I did didn’t think anyone could be as failed of a president as Obama, but Biden has surpassed Obama failing at nearly everything. Eighty percent of Americans believe the nation is headed in the wrong direction. People vote their pocketbooks first, and Biden has lightened just about everyone’s pocketbooks.
Oh god who cares. This idiot talked for years about how bad this country is and how she wanted to leave. How we mistreated her. Let her realize how wrong she is for a little while.
Normally I wouldn’t fee this why but this woman was over the top with the rhetoric.
This has nothing to do with her free speech. This has to do with her hatred of America.
I didn’t say she doesn’t have the right to say what she said. I said I really don’t give a rats ass if she now finds out slowly how wrong she was for expressing those feelings.
My question still stands. You think she DESERVES to be imprisoned in Russia because she legally expressed her concerns about some of American society? Because her experience wasn’t just like yours? Are you serious?
You need to renounce your Catholicism. You’re indifferent to this. You’re HAPPY she is suffering.
1 that’s not why she’s imprisoned.
2. That’s not my position.
If a person goes around saying that the country they live in is terrible. If they refuse to salute their own flag and pay homage to their own government and military…. If they use their public platform to create more disaffected citizens who resent their own nation, then don’t ask for that government’s help when you find yourself imprisoned in another country that treated you worse.
If this woman comes back and still talks greazy about America- she can go you know what to herself. She gave up her right to beseech her countrymen and government for help.
But she’s an American. Americans have a constitutional right to say what they want. You and I don’t have to agree.
She said something you don’t like. So you’re indifferent to her being wrongfully detained in Russia.
Funny, you’ve got no problem talking about Griner being detained in Russia but you shut the fuck up and won’t talk when asked why you support Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
Catholics pray for those in bad spots. They aren’t indifferent to them. You are the latter.
Indifference. Regardless of your opinion of her beliefs and the fact that at you disagree. she’s an American wrongly detained. You should support her release.
But you don’t, because you support Putin, for reasons you won’t answer, despite my repeated questions as to why.
Why do you believe that Griner should retain her rights but I should lose mine?
I have a right to feel the way I feel. I have a right to express it. You don’t have a right make me adopt your values and your way of thinking. Be consistent.
51- I have no idea what you’re talking about. If you think I support Putin- great. I don’t care. That’s your opinion. Never saw your questions you’re talking about.
Cool. Now you’re the arbiter of what is means to be Catholic. Someone call Francis! Tell him to swap places with 51.
My tea’s gone cold, I’m wondering why I
Got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window
And I can’t see at all
And even if I could it’ll all be gray
But your picture on my wall
It reminds me, that it’s not so bad
It’s not so bad
