The Biden (interim) Dictator

[sonofdaxjones]

Watching MIR try to grant American citizens the same rights and privileges in foreign countries is just fascinating.

Watching dax ignore his knowledge that the Russian authorities trumped up her charges to hold her as political capital isn't at all fascinating. Dax picking a bigoted, anti-american, war crime committing authoritarian over an African American black woman, is the least surprising thing ever.

To give a recap of Russian drug laws, for those of you who don't know, dax does. In Russia carrying under 7 grams of cannabis is considered their version of a misdemeanor. She had less than 1 gram. Because she was traveling, they charged her with trafficking. She was supposedly trafficking 0.7 grams of cannabis.

"I didn't intend to break the law" is not a viable defense against prosecution in most places, even in the United States . . .well at least in some places.

The United States if filled with laws that are draconian and turn seemingly innocuous behaviors into criminal offense, seizures and forfeitures.  The authorities defend themselves based on precedence ex:  Carrying large amounts of cash, going to pay cash for a car, or the proceeds of drug deals?   Or . . . both??   Prove your innocence citizen!

All of this has nothing to do with skin color, or sexual identity or whether BG hates the United States or not, and everything to do with a mentally incapacitated President's handlers convincing him to trade "one of the most dangerous people in the world" for a celebrity criminal . . . and just the celebrity criminal

There is a really easy and legitimate critique of Biden and his handling of this case but dax, wacky, and all the people they follow on twitter are completely missing it because of their uncontrollable rage about a black lesbian having something positive happen for her.

    The usual bullshit strawman tapout from MIR

Move along, just MIR being MIR.  A sad individual who only see's the world through the prism of skin color

That's an amazing strawman. Whether she intended to break the law or not is irrelevant. The fact is she carried less than a gram of cannabis. Another fact is that carrying less than a gram of cannabis is punishable, in Russia, for a maximum of 15 days in jail and a fine. The final fact is that she was charged as a felon, trafficking an amount of cannabis that literally couldn't fill a thimble.

Marc Fogel is still being held because he actually violated the Russian drug law that he's being held for. Brittney Griner is now home because she didn't violate the law she was being held for, it's really that simple.

You continuing to try to dispute these stone cold facts, staring you dead in your beady racist eyes, makes it very hard for anyone to believe your stance isn't about skin color or sexual identity.

The stone cold facts are you only view the world through skin color.  If this was a normal non black person you wouldn't give a single solitary eff. 

The stone cold facts say that you openly support the United States trading one of the worst people in the world for a criminal celebrity only because she just happens to be a black person.  Otherwise, see above.

Just the same old bullshit form one trick pony MIR . . . skin color, first, foremost and always.  The ultimate racist

a "normal non black person"?

Not a celebrity

A citizen of four countries — the United States, Canada, Britain and Ireland, Whelan was a former sheriff’s deputy and served several tours in Iraq as an active-duty reservist. He was discharged from the Marines for bad conduct in 2008 after being convicted of charges related to larceny, according to military and court records.

Maybe he can appeal to Canada, Britain or Ireland to get him out?

[Dugout DickStone]

convicted of larceny?   

[catastrophe]

Still a normal non-black person. That’s got to count for something.

K-State grad, right?

[nicname]

The US trading a certified very dangerous dude for anyone can be reasonably questioned on its head.

That the Biden administration efforted the trade for political points can be reasonably argued.

That the loudest voices in argument against this trade off are coming from a pragmatic standpoint, and not from disagreement with Griner’s lifestyle/identity is a much harder argument to make reasonably.

[MakeItRain]

I'm convinced that 99% of the people who are talking about Viktor Bout don't know why he was arrested and can't express what threat  he could presently pose to America.

Any reaction DW69, or are you just wanting to spread the word?

I'm convinced that 99% of the people who are talking about Viktor Bout don't know why he was arrested and can't express what threat  he could presently pose to America.

Yeah, I personally question how this man is dangerous to anyone within the US. Even if he was working for Russian intelligence before he was arrested, any information he would have for them is more than a decade old at this point. I'd prefer he serve his time, but it's better to let him go than to let an innocent person rot in a Russian prison. And for those claiming it was a "bad trade," if Russia were holding an American who trafficked guns through African warzones, would you like him to be set free within America? It seems a whole let less safe for the Russian people to have a man who disregards the law roaming around than it is for Americans to have this man committing crimes within Russia.

This all won't matter in a week and you'll all find something else to bitch about with each other in that time.

It's no surprise that yla thinks both sides are bitching here

[yoga-like_abana]

Buncha bitches ITT to be honest

[sonofdaxjones]

Only uninformed derps are not and were not aware of Bout.  They did a movie based on the guys story.

Some people are simply unable to separate discussion of political platform, political policy, political action and political beliefs from skin color, gender/nongender/sexual orientation

There's DOD officials already going to media with concerns about Bout as well as the sitting chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee.
