It's not a trivial offense.

There are more than 32,000 American prisoners in American correctional
facilities (currently) for marijuana crimes. But 0 of them are elites.

Mark Fogel is a caucasian American school teacher who is currently serving a
14 year sentence in a Russian prison for marijuana posession. What's the status
of his release? Does anyone give a flying one?

Sure, we should tell other countries how to punish their criminals and even
tell them how to define their crimes.

Ok, but Griner was *rightfully convicted* and she even pled guilty to the
crime.

Yes, Biden's actions SHOULD be obvious, but the media isn't going to let their
pupae escape before before they reach adult stage.

No, I called in sick that day. Someone else filled in for me.

Nope! When Americans visit other countries, they need to learn and obey the
laws, or pay the price. And I'm sure that they do just that when they don't
have elite status back home in the states.

 LL> I suppose Aaron would hire Ollie North to negoatiate with the bastard.

I like Ollie. He would have opted to bring the veteran home first, since he's
also a veteran, and since he's not a Soros employee.

In order to truly build back better, we must get Britney on the next flight
back to Russia.
