I don't usually speak out about stuff like this but I am struggling with this decision.

I live in the city of Richmond where they've torn down all of the Confederate monuments, except one. The last one is one block from my house, which is coming down tomorrow. I never looked at them as anything confederate, more history than anything else and how cool they were. Where and when does this crap stop?

This is how I feel:

I don’t normally comment on this stuff. But I’m having a really hard time seeing how this was a good trade. Even on the basic level, a basketball player for the worlds most notorious arms dealer? Seems way off balance.

 

[eweise]

Ridiculous. She’ll get millions of dollars and become a hero for not following the rules of another country. Hell, she’ll probably be one of our next Senators. All the while a Marine veteran sits locked up. You just can’t make this stuff up.

 

[mrsrobinson]

A black female lesbian basketball player who's openly criticized her own country, seems to have made this a more equal trade...

 

[scoflaw]

Biden likes black tranny's. That aint no woman, ever hear it talk? They might have cut some parts off but not the voice box

 

[Gofirstclass]

You guys must be missing the point. It wasn't about bring her home, it was about pandering to the masses to buy votes.

Look who he was pandering to:
Female voters
LGBTQ voters
Black voters

That list is probably longer but Brandon may have gotten more votes than his illegal and ill-fated plan to pay off student loan debt. And this prisoner trade didn't cost the Billions we taxpayers would have had to ante up to pay off all that debt.

We are in a 4th turning.......a cultural revolution that probably cannot be stopped. Just look at the results of the mid-terms. I surround myself with friends and family, drink light beer on the weekends, and listen to classic rock.

Did you all know there is another US citizen locked up on drug charges in Russia? A 61 yo school teacher. Tells you everything you need to know about our government.

White male. No returns for Brandon, the guy doesn't check any boxes.

 

[boatman37]

Yep. She hates our country? Leave her is Russia. All this was was a vote buying ploy

You need to get out more.

 

[SR400DB]

She admitted to knowing she broke the law(s) of a foreign country. She should have been the very last one brought home.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Winner!

She checked all the boxes necessary to appeal to the Democratic voter base. Much more than a Caucasian Former Marine could ever possibly do..

Politics. Plain and simple!

I crossed my fingers and held my breath just praying that mention of this twit would not sully this forum. Now that it did the comments on the subject are as usual, somewhat measured and reasoned but still not worth my time to consider.

And you responded why?

 

[The Bill Collector]

White male. No returns for Brandon, the guy doesn't check any boxes.

Dishonorable discharge from the Marines, 4 citizenships, passports from 4 different countries and arrested as a spy... Sure, he didn't check a single box, but the 2 gold star Olympian does, pull your head out of your ass any day .

 

[Carpediem44DB]

And you responded why?

For the same reason you asked the question. For yuks

 

[Bt Doctur]

People that disrespect America like her deserve to be left to rot in a foreign prison
