We will leave the Marine in the jail in Russia, we will free the guy who was going to target U.S. military soldiers and just get the high profile basketball player.  It is a terrible message to send not only to the despots of the world who now know they can get a trade if they just capture an American, but to the military, the United States military, who are saying, hey, I can serve this country and the president will leave me and take the basketball player.


Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn.



I am extremely glad that Brittney is being returned. I think it is a good thing whenever we can unify American families, but we have a lot more work to do, obviously. What about Paul Whelan?
I would love to know what the Biden administration's plan is for Paul Whelan.

We paid a heavy, heavy price for Brittney Griner, and I truly hope that she does appreciate and respect the U.S. now and all that this country has done for her.

Whelan's earlier court martial and bad conduct discharge from the Marines may have been a factor in downgrading his importance.  But the charges brought by a corrupt Russian political machine seemed to be bogus and possibly a payback for the detention of Maria Butina.  It's worth noting that Butina served a total of eighteen months on a charge she herself confessed to, while Whelan has been jailed four years on charges that fail multiple logic tests.

We can wrap up a half dozen republican bundlers and faith leaders and send them back to Moscow for the release of Whalen. The GOP is still chock full of plants and moles.

Russia made it clear they were not willing to include Whalen in any swap. We chose not to blow the good on the perfect and took what we could. While we continue to work on Whalen.

Biden is awkwardly pushing all the buttons on the camera to get the best picture he can.  Trading Bout at all, a "Merchant of Death," blood of hundreds of thousands on his hands, world-class creep and sociopath who conspired to kill Americans he saw as in his way.... is an ugly business.  Even Putin probably loathes him (given that Bout stole and sold off Russian munitions that the Red Army is now short of), but loves how it makes him look like a winner who really played the dumb Yanks.

When COULD THIS have been accomplished.?  Was there a one for one to be had months and months ago?  We will likely never know for sure.

Another legislative accomplishment on Bidens watch.  Supreme Court can go take a hike.

I was here for the birth of DOMA, so I am very grateful to be able to be here for the funeral.

Talk about ridiculous.
There was no legislative need for a problem that does not exist, nor ever will.
As for DOMA it helped Obama get elected President.

Having no fixed morals, Red quickly shrugs off the battles he has clearly lost. It is good he is getting lots of practice at this these days.

Because being against it was part of his 2008 platform?

Or was it when it was challenged in court in 2011 his administration refused to defend it?
