The White House has secured the release of American basketball star Brittney Griner, President Joe Biden announced Thursday, confirming that the U.S. sent arms trafficker Viktor Bout to Russia in exchange.
Vice President Kamala Harris, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Griner’s wife, Cherelle Griner, were also in the room for the Oval Office call.
American citizens continually fight against government incited gun control. Meanwhile illegal gun arms dealers are set free: WNBA star Brittney Griner freed from Russian custody in prisoner swap with arms dealer Viktor Bout, officials say.
So we gave the MERCHANT OF DEATH, a man responsible for the deaths of hundreds if not thousands of people, back to the Russians for a basketball player... WHAT THE ACTUAL F**K? If our government had any morals at all, they would have just shot that motherf**ker and said too bad
South Park....XD You see 'little girl' drugs are baaaad!
We get one and the world gets 'The Merchant of Death'.
This is wonderful news!!👍
Seems like a problem. Pseudo celeb for terrorist. Yikes.
Will Britney Greiner get a Congressional Medal of Honor ?

Why is weed more important than common sense to people nowadays?
Why
Biden leaves the US Marine behind and trades the merchant of death for a celebrity
So we gave up an arms trafficking thug who likely would and will kill as many US citizens as possible for a basketball player. Good job Joe.
An arms dealer for a basketball player who despises this country…….wow, what a crock. Can’t wait to see how many pot offenders get let out in the states now.
What a surprise Biden making deals with Russia. A terrorist arms dealer for an anti American pompous “A” B league has been player.
Brandon gettin it done again. This is what experience and competence looks like.
What does Russia gain from this? The American people have spent $100M on a war effort against Russia. Why would the Russians want to trade a female basketball player for an arms dealer.
But left Paul Whelan behind.
Why would we trade a guy who sold guns to terrorists for a person who does not respect her own country? What a sad day in America.
If she were white and straight would the deal still get done? And yes if she were white and straight the Russians still would have busted her.
Oof. She realllllly needed that vape pen eh?
Elections are over they can do what they want now.

Russia frees WNBA star Brittney Griner in prisoner swap; US releases arms dealer Viktor Bout | LIVEThe swap, at a time of heightened tensions over Ukraine, achieved a top goal for President Joe Biden, but carried a heavy price. Biden just keeps screwing us Not too sure about the formula: 1 weed user = 1 arms dealer ...but I suppose it reflects the generally low value placed on life in the alcoholic countries. Its a shame we are allowing her back to the USA

Wrong on so many levels. Do you think she’ll stop shitting on America and all of our freedoms now? Think she learned anything If it were me or anyone else we still be in a work camp/prison! I hate that celebrity status grants some people things/ favors that the rest of us could not ever get. Maybe she will stand up and appreciate the playing of the national anthem now!

Brittney Griner released by Russia in 1-for-1 prisoner swap for arms dealer Viktor BoutGriner was detained by Russia in February and sentenced to nine years in prison for having vape cartridges with cannabis oil. Paul Whelan should have been the next prisoner released. USA lost this trade Great that she’s out and everything but that was a very one-sided trade. Dude is the “Lord of War”. One of most prolific arms dealers of the past 30 years.
