And? Is that supposed to change what I said? She's not the only US prisoner over there that deserves to be at home and is no more important than they are regardless of the optics.

Take this conviction with a grain of salt. Russian courts almost always convict. Their court system is based more on politics than evidence.

It does since both are doing it for signal boosting reasons.
I don't think Griner deserves special treatment, but celebrities get the attention that ordinary people do not.
She makes 1.5 million in Russia

We're on the blood path now
Don’t think any time would’ve been good to get caught bringing weed into Russia, but lord her timing was absolutely WOAT
I thought she was already in Russia, and was just traveling from one Russian city to another?She is an idiot for doing a job.
She was stupid for bringing weed into the country, though.
Russia is definitely taking advantage of this for politics, but the Biden admin doesn't seem to care that much.
I agree, but who knows if she could even get that information in Russia. I don't even know if common russian citizens were aware that they were getting ready to declare war, thats all im saying
On Feb. 17, Griner, who plays for the Phoenix Mercury, was taken into custody at Sheremetyevo International Airport near Moscow after her arrival to play in the off-season with UMMC Ekaterinburg, a Russian women’s basketball team where Griner has been a star for the past seven years. Airport authorities allegedly found four vape cartridges containing hash oil, a concentrated form of cannabis that is illegal in Russia, in Griner’s luggage. Russian Federal Customs Service said an airport security dog prompted customs officials to search her possessions. Griner was charged with violating Article 229.1 of the Criminal Code of Russia, a law criminalizing illegal drug trafficking and smuggling.
I agree, but who knows if she could even get that information in Russia. I don't even know if common russian citizens were aware that they were getting ready to declare war, thats all im saying
a special brand of stupid to not only be ARRIVING in Russia when folks were warned about the unrest over there but also to have drugs on you. women and panderers discussing the WNBA salaries but BG was making $200K as well as $1M Nike endorsement, she was not living in poverty, she could have missed a season overseas and her ribs wouldn't be touching
