WNBA player Brittney Griner has been in Russian custody since February 17, 2022 on drug possession charges. 4 months later, and the breaking news is that the Biden State Department is meeting with her team, the Phoenix Mercury. Meanwhile, we all know Trump would have had her home the same week!

🐴 SHITPOST 💩
Did you actually fake a tweet just for this post?
Yes, and it's why I labeled it a shitpost. Kek.
This generation didn't watch the Midnight Express movie.
She is a horrible person. We used to follow the WNBA because Maya Moore was from our community. BUT Griner was the meanest, most aggressive player we ever saw. A good clean basketball game is fun to watch but this lady (??) was totally out of control. She injured people on purpose and always tried to foul without getting caught. She may not deserve to be detained illegally but I for one don't feel a bit sorry for her.
Who gives a fuck about Griner? She went to a foreign country and broke their laws. I find it funny, cause she's the epitome of the ugly American who can get away with anything in the states. She's a black feminist lesbian WNBA player who hates the U.S. That gives her four shields against criticism in this country, so it's good for her to go someplace where she gets treated just like anyone else would for breaking the law.
This is more about the incompetence of the Biden Administration than anything else.
An Olympic athlete and WNBA player gets arrested by the Russians on February 17 and the best plan the Biden State Department can come up with is this?
"Let's meet with Brittney's team when they make a trip to play the Washington Mystics 4 months from now. After an hour, we'll set up a virtual meeting with the Phoenix Mercury and Sheila Jackson Lee."
Meanwhile, Trump got A$AP Rocky, who was also guilty as charged, out of Sweden very quickly.
Real story, but fake Tweet, in case anybody else is wondering why I labeled this a shitpost.
State Department officials meet with Phoenix Mercury about Brittney Griner's detention in Russia
State Department officials met Monday with members of the Phoenix Mercury about Brittney Griner's monthslong detention in Russia and the Biden administration's efforts to secure her release.
The State Department confirmed the meeting, which involved officials from its specialized office that advocates for hostages and wrongfully detained Americans.

Looks like the players joined a virtual meeting with Congressman Greg Stanton, Democrat from Arizona and Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, Democrat from Texas, after the meeting with the State Department ended. I'm sure Putin is quaking in his boots!
She could have freely bought cannabis in Colorado, then been arrested at the TSA checkpoint in an airport because cannabis is illegal at the federal level. They have signs at the Denver airport warning about this risk.
Dumbass.
I liked this post but this is kinda a "when in rome" situation. Hope she gets out but we cant expect other nations to cater to our laws.
