If only he was a WNBA player vaping THC.

For her we gave up the Merchant of Death.

Wasn't worth it.

Rapidcreek OP ,

I'm sure she would disagree, as would you if you were in a Russian prison.

I wouldn't go near Russia. But she is a tad bit biased.

Rapidcreek OP ,

I don't know what she is biased about. Seems to me that she was just trying to make a buck and the kickback of Russia invading Ukraine ran over her. Wrong place. Wrong time.

Yea, no...If you're going to cross into another country, make sure you respect the laws of said country. Next time she'll hopefully leave her drugs at home.

Rapidcreek OP ,

The laws in Russia are very much determined on what Russia's anxiety is at the time. Don't play the lawful card.

Don’t play the lawful card.

Really? That's your defense for breaking the law..."Don't worry about the law"?

Don't go to Asia if that's your attitude. They make Russia look like a vacation resort.

When you say “leave her drugs at home” and “she thought she was above the law”, you make it sound like she audaciously took a bag of weed with her. What she actually took was

cartridges containing less than a gram of medically prescribed hash oil

that she didn’t consider would be a problem. There is a difference, even if you’re unable to recognize that.

She also disregarded a state department directive that Russia is a dangerous country to go to for Americans.

So, not only was she above the law, she felt she was above the US government's intelligence department as well.

She's put national security at risk and we all fucking paid for Biden making an appeal to black voters.

mateomaui ,

The majority of what you said also applies to Whelan.

He was there for work (just like her) despite all the warnings, and his presence was even more of a risk as a reporter than as someone there to play for a basketball team.

It’s done. Get the fuck over it.

That's correct...I think they should both rot in prison...but only one was let go. Why is that?
