Oh they were keeping her all nice and fattened up knowing they were going to trade her

He looked happy.

Yeah, eager for her book & TV deal

no

Oi

Like...free speech?

Hope the dude appreciates his home country a bit more now!!

It’s a man.

No es una mujer es hombre

Her first request was for fish 🤔

She will forever be irrelevant in my eyes unless she apologizes to America for her prior naivety, immaturity, and disrespect - and then pledges her newfound patriotism and allegiance to the flag with genuine humility, respect, and sincerity. Until then, I don’t have time for her.

And we don't care

See weed free did her some good

Looks like Pete Davidson

Pathetic ! Maybe stand the F up during the national anthem ?! Now she’s into all the news shows , probably write a book 🤦‍♀️

Yep she will write a book , get rich and will become a worse version of herself

Was she still willing to say how much she hates America or does she love her country now?

That's what 10 months drug-free does...

🤣send her back 🤣

Who gives a FK what he’s has to say!

😼

He should have stayed in Russia

No one cares

🤡

BOT A WOMAN... Did you see his beard? Yup, crazy this an exchange was done for? He did the crime won't pay the time ... Justice for the but not for me ...

For someone who protests the playing of the national anthem at her games she has a lot to be thankful for.

So what does the dude have to say about being found out in a Russian prison?

Hey look it’s Pete Davidson

Does she still hate America?

I have one question: will she standing up during USA national anthem?

🤮

NO ONE CARES!!!

Looks eager to smoke that weed pen if you ask me

Fantastic might be a bit of a stretch

Make she she kneels at the press conference this way I will be able to recognize her

I'd rather get an update on the Merchant of Death. Worst deal ever!

He sounded healthy as a male horse

She’s never looked fantastic so right there we can see this is an article packed with BS.

I had no idea Brittney was actually a man.

Brittney Griner back home in US after Russian prisoner swapThe deal achieved a top goal for President Joe Biden — but failed to win freedom for another American, Paul Whelan, who has been jailed for nearly four years. The Marine who faithfully served America should have been brought home first - not some ball player who took illegal drugs into a foreign country. The ONLY reason she was traded for the “merchant of death” is because she is black and homosexual. And soon her husband/wife will be between her legs 💩💩💩💩💩🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
