Exactly. So we can do the same to “Soulless Joe” Manchin in all good haste.

I know. When I first heard that a Senator was changing parties, my first guesses were her or Manchin. Good thing the Dems gained a seat this past November or they would have lost the razor edge majority.

I think the hang up for most is that she was traded for Viktor Bout, aka The Merchant of Death, a man with a long history of supplying arms to warlords and terrorists all over the world, and was famously portrayed by Nicholas Cage in the movie Lord of War. He was serving a 25 year sentence for conspiracy to kill U.S.…

She wants to be a Republican so bad but AZ is officially a swing state where Reps have lost the last couple elections so the poor girl doesn’t know what to do. Can’t be herself : (

Our sister Kyrsten has left us. We drove her away.

Every one of us needs to look in the mirror and ask ourselves what part we played in this tragedy.

I guess the last straw was Democrats and Joe Biden giving railroad workers one (1) sick day and a raise. Pretty close to communism if you ask me. Well, big companies and billionaires will finally be represented in the halls of power.

I’ve been expecting her to switch to Republican sooner or later. Close enough I suppose.

Reread the headline with an open mind you might get the nuance. I read the headline as she’s the first black woman that America thought was important enough to rescue. In any situation. In any country (even America). Period.

Driving them to dictatorships? Come on, now. Griner gets paid more than a hundred grand a year to play the sport she loves. That’s plenty, or would be for most people. Just because the NBA outrageously overpays its athletes doesn’t mean the WNBA is wrong not to.

Relatively free? The Olympics were without incident?

Agreed. ICE has the wrong mission and top to bottom the worst fucking people doing their job for the worst fucking reasons.

Viktor Bout is not a criminal mastermind. He is a man who had a skillset (he could fly a plane) and connections (through his military service) to exploit egomaniacal warlords and corrupt government officials into buying weapons from him and smuggling them from Eastern Europe into these war-torn countries specifically…

Bout going free is awful, but not because he’s really dangerous now. It’s simply unjust that he isn’t going to face the full consequences of his crimes.

Gonna have to disagree with that one. Prior to Griner’s sentencing, perhaps, because since then they’ve been routinely discussed as a package deal for Bout. And even THAT would have been a crap deal. Bout is widely acknowledged to be one of the most dangerous people on the planet, full stop. His name should never have…

You can’t genuinely tell me that you’re anti-gun, anti-capitalist, pro-Black, and pro-queer when you are cheering on that a man who sold guns on behalf of Russia to murderous regimes across Africa.

He’s too high-profile for us to torture, I think. But I agree that this was a very poor trade, while simultaneously being very happy for BG and Cherelle and everyone who loves them.

Probably not much more than it has for the last 4 years. 

Brittney herself admitted she brought it in. She says she packed them in her bag by mistake because she was in a rush. 

Hopefully the US handed over the “Merchant of Death” in the same condition that North Korea handed Otto Warmbier back to his family. Otherwise Russia just got back a person responsible for countless deaths and will no doubt go back to arming enemies of ours and all of our allies that will results in thousands of more…

No offense but you have no idea what you’re talking about. One arms dealer getting out of prison has zero affect on Ukraine. Putin, the dictator of an entire nation, has been throwing every bit of resource imaginable at Ukraine and failing. Absolutely nothing about that just changed. He has no special access to special…
