The question has been asked, not totally unreasonably, about the teacher being held in juxtaposition to Ms. Grines.

Let me expand the comparison:


Bizarre.  And yes it invites questions of certain sorts of privilege. 

The comparison I've usually seen is with the 60 year old teacher Mark Fogel, who got a stiffer sentence than Griner, for MM treating severe arthritis.  The outrage was mainly focused on his case not being mentioned by Biden and only reaching mid-level State Department officials.

"Conservatives"

Far Right might be more accurate.  Some conservatives are not own-the-libs Trumpians.

Less than 50 per cent of drug offenders in Russia do jail time

Was Ms Griner properly represented?  Did they go overboard in accusing Russian authorities of being strict vs Ms Griner because she is

a)  black
b)  gay
c)  famous?

Had they played it more low key like Lorber did, who knows?  Nope.   Had to rile up all America to decry the big bad Russians as evil.

And now......as we are now where we are in this  case - Biden has been warned to do this through proper channels (low key) and to not propogandize  the matter.  Lets see what occurs.

(In other words, LeBron and all others - media, gay groups, etc - chill, let the government handle this and Ms Griner's status and her treatment will be more to the positive)

You keep wanting Griner to be the villain here.

Why?

And yet again, you take Putin's side in this.

They want it done quietly because it is so obviously bogus.

If they wanted it done quietly they had the power to do so by just agreeing to the prisoner swap.

RUSSIA chose to put on the sham trial.

Kid is a fascist. He is more loyal to Putin than the United States. He has a twenty year history, in print here, of his political development. Kid is a turd in the swimming pool of democracy.

Senator Sinema is making waves mid-bill vote-a-rama.

Of course.

She and Manchin wandered into Thune's office to discuss an amendment she would like to make.

No stranger to manufacturing unhinged conspiracy theories, Dixon also recently got caught claiming that Planned Parenthood has employed a  business model to   introduce sex to  7th graders so they can profit off of  plenty of abortions in high school

The claim?  Or that it's an unhinged conspiracy theory?
