The Russians is doing her grimmey
The USA is not doing a prisoner exchange the USA does not negotiate with communist countries
Feeling!!!!!! empathy for HER is disgusting.💣😱😱ðŸ˜ÂÂSHE DID THE CRIME SHE WILL DO THE TIME!!!
LET HER ROT IN RUSSIAN JAIL🤢🤢🤮🤮🥵🥵🥶🥶😵😵🤯🥳😨😨
SPECIALLY IN RUSSIA AT PRESENT 👎💥💥💣💣 US =+ NATO AGAINST RUSSIA IN UKRAINE!!!
DISGUSTING 🤮🤮🤮👹👹👎👎👎💥💥💣BAD US POLITICS…..
Better to not be in America since she made it a point to say we are racist and anti lgtbq. She is safe from this horrible country she calls America.
No one really cares
If Biden is going to get Brittainy Gainer out for Pot, why doesn't he get people here in America out for Pot too
No vapes come in those measurements 😂ðŸ˜ÂÂ😂🤣
0:10 lmao 🤣 what’s does this mean? It’s simple you commit a crime, you’re gonna do some jail time.
she’d kiss the flag now , loves 🇺🇸
not accused , pleading guilty!!!! gee
I hope she like borscht.
Wtf she is a criminal!do the crime do the time . Why are the media giving this so much attention? We want the list !
It means, she is guilty!!! And she cant play the racist bullshit game in russia, unlike she would have done in America… in America she/Him would scream, you profiled me, you searched my bags because I'm Half black, you profiled me because in gay, you profiled me because im married to a woman, you profiled me because I took a knee at basketball games, you profiled me because I'm a loud mouth POS…. hope she enjoys the 10yrs in prison!
Yes guilty, you don't get to just come home. Dumb enough to have drugs in a Communist country. Sad for her but come on people she broke a law.
So your saying , it’s hard forcing people to care?
Just a reminder America can call it personal use, Russia has different laws. Quit being ignorant comparing it to the US… just like how we want gun safety control but are gonna trade her for the biggest arms dealer in history lol
Story keeps gettin better
Brittany isn't worth all that. Sorry. Just say NOâ£ï¸ÂÂ🇺🇸
I see by the vast amount of articles pushed to my Home Screen that were are not supposed to mention her protesting the flag and national anthem and now begging the US government to rescue her for her own decisions because if we do, we are taking victory laps, we are right wing racist and We are anti American.
I guess We’re no longer allowed to point out irony because that is ALSO razist / phobic and sesist.
Britney is charged with 'smuggling' – may have better chance for exchange prisoner.
Whereas Paul Whelan, if he is charged with 'espionage' he may have to stay longer in Russia.

did he did just say
.702…
he did say .702…
less than 3 quarters of uh gram…
seriously…
?…
dang…
III wonder what that check from Russia and tha American Government is going too look like when all of this is said and done…
✨

She really has a renewed appreciation of the 4th of July!
We have American Pows in russia from Ukraine right now and griner think she a priority? A fucking drug addict over American POW's? Sounds about right for the biden admin though. They'll get the druggy out and leave the American POW's, watch and see. If we are trading with terrorists in russia, we trading for the vets first. Honestly, be better off to leave griner in russia since she hates America, thinks everyone racist.
It means she's gonna stay there for a while,plain and simple!
The cases adjourned until February 14th!?!?!?! WTF!!!!!!
So glad this street thug is behind bars.
Griner will serve her time in jail in Siberia. Her wife will join her and they will be happy Afro Siberian couple.
Good choice!
Anything but going back to the racist, right wing, rulled by white supremacists evil America!
If a libtard hater break's the law is that really a crime? Leave her alone she hates the USA more than Putin.
You do the crime you do the time. Don’t smuggle prescription drugs you don’t have a prescription for into Russia. Now you have to deal with the consequences. This is one of the woke sports stars who won’t even come onto the court during the national anthem then writes Biden a letter on July 4 lol.
You cannot tell me that she was unaware of the laws in Russia, she's played basketball there for years to supplement her WNBA income. Yes, it may have been an accident to pack those cartridges in her luggage but with the Russian Military exercises going on at the time, she should have realized that she was an open target.
I’m waiting for the complaints about Russian jails being full of white people.
Funny, we never hear complaints about China being “full of Chinese people†or complaints about the racial make up of the Middle East, Africa, South America, etc.
Trump would have had her out 139 days ago.
Slow Joe can’t stand up to Putin because Putin has too much dirt
on Joe, Hunter and CornPop
Thank you for this story, prayers for Brittney hoping she gets home soon.
The fact people are joking about this is draconian.
The media is making it a political issue by saying she was "wrongfully detained" You think their President likes what he is hearing? She is going to do some serious time in Russia.
Some Black people love lawbreakers. Keep ass over there to pay for he/her crime.
to the news reporters who lie, and have a agenda that is based on false narratives how's it feel to be. a sell out ? shouldn't even be able to call yourself americans you guys are embarrassment all are fallen soldiers didn't lay their life on the line or die for this disgusting agenda
I'm tired of seeing unlawfully detained it's not unlawful if you committed a crime and the picture y'all are painting is if your "famous " the law shouldn't apply to you she committed a crime now you should do the time the same as I would have too the government wouldn't take a second look and the thought they would even consider doing a prisoner exchange with a arma dealer is beyond comprehension doesn't make any sense if they do it and he sells guns to terrorists who kills kids women it is on the government and her
America has a lot more to concern themselves with than basketball player.
"I had no idea it was a vape stick….I thought it was my penis"
We should just learn that there is no point to travel to fascist Russia
I hope she stays locked in Russia until their entire mountain range is gone 😊â¤ðŸ˜ÂÂ😎😂
Couldnt have happened to a better anti-American!
"Packed in a hurry' MY ASS – that crap only flies in the West lool
They will not trade a Russia spy for a basketball player. She’s toast.
Why should she return home? She is super guilty, so, she must serve her time now.
Also, i heard, she doesn't like USA that much, so, everything cool.
Don't drop the soap.
