I'll take a stab at it. Maybe its her ability to overcome growing up black, female and lesbian, having been rejected by her father upon coming out and still rising above to become the best female basketball player in college and the WNBA and a two-time Olympic gold champion, despite her personal flaws of breaking an opponent's nose, domestic violence conviction and divorce and pot smoking? Maybe its because she's trying to mentor youth and break the mold to make it easier for the next generation (you see the hostility here to her, imagine how she must feel?) and for taking a stand for a cause she believes in, protesting the national anthem during the Briona Taylor and George Floyd protests, whether you agree with her or not, and exercising her freedom of speech and giving voice to those with none. At any point she could have just walked away and gone back to where many Americans expect her to go, back in "her place." She could have walked away from it all and forever. But she didn't. Maybe its the courage to stand up and speak truth to power and fight for her right to be who she is and do the things that many of us take for granted or have no obstacles in our path, like being recognized and respected for who you are? Maybe she's just another strong black woman in a long line of them?brianlux said:josevolution said:
You’d have look at her life prior to getting arrested for basically an extract of weed! Was she a great student? Def a great athlete! Was she ever arrested before?

Honest question. Anyone?And very possibly so but taking weed extract into Russia does not indicate a lot of smarts. Great athlete, yes, for sure.But I still question what make her the best America has to offer. I am suspicious of such a claim as being more a political move than an accurate statement.I would list Mike McCready as a better candidate for such a statement.
Does she represent the "best of America?" I'm not sure but given her background and who she is, she's accomplished a lot and she's flawed, like everyone is, and an American that people can be proud of. I'm happy that she'll be home for Christmas.
I agree, with all of that, but I think "best of America" is hyperbolic and I would have chosen other words to describe the good fortune of her release.

How are you so sure that this administration is done negotiating the release of any other captive Americans? Please point us to when this administration stated that they are done negotiating?bootlegger10 said:I don't care what either family thinks. I'm looking at the situation. After how many months of negotiating we took the deal we got offered in the first hour of negotiations. Miserable failure, and not sure how someone in jail longer in Russia for the same crime is still sitting there.
Of course the family is going to say they are happy she is back. Nobody wants any of them over there. If they broke the law then they should serve some punishment over there, but not Russian punishment.
I just find this particular deal utterly pathetic on the US’s part. It should have been a 3 for 1 trade. We gonna hand over bombs next time, because that is basically what we did this time and only got one of many American prisoners back.
I am surprised some of you don’t expect more from your government. If you criticize Biden here you are automatically labeled MAGA.
On a positive note, for all you sports fans out there, it’s the first time in history anyone ever noticed a trade for a WNBA player…even if it was a Arms Dealer for a POTHEAD!!! Come on Shit-4-brains!!I agree there are BIG problems with the trade, but pothead? That's a stretch. Using marijuana in of itself does not make one a "pot head".And if you think Biden is S4B, how on God's green earth would you categorize 45? I think you would have to say "major city sewage system for brains", right?"It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0 -
Maybe she needs to visit Massachusetts? Or Canada? To witness for herself that both places aren't all fire and brimstone, smell like sulfur and with its populace minions of Satan? I mean its been since 2004 in Massachusetts and 2005 for Canada. Both still exist and are thriving. Now Seattle? I heard its fallen.gimmesometruth27 said:

The House on Thursday passed landmark legislation that would enshrine marriage equality in federal law, granting protections to same-sex and interracial couples and clearing the way for President Biden’s signature.
“Today, Congress sends the Respect for Marriage Act to the president’s desk, a glorious triumph of love and freedom,” said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), quoting the gay rights activist Edith Windsor in comparing marriage to magic. “This legislation honors that magic, protecting it from bigoted extremism, defending the inviolability of the same-sex and interracial marriages.”
The House had already passed an earlier version of the Respect for Marriage Act in July, but the Senate delayed its vote on the bill until after the midterm elections. Late last month, the Senate passed the bill with a bipartisan amendment to allay some Republicans’ concerns about religious liberty. The amended bill passed the Senate in a 61-36 vote, with 12 Republican senators joining Democrats in favor of it.
n a 258-169 vote, the House on Thursday passed the bill with the amendment, which clarifies that the federal government would not be authorized to recognize polygamous marriages and confirms that nonprofit religious organizations would not be required to provide “any services, facilities, or goods for the solemnization or celebration of a marriage.” Thirty-nine Republicans joined all Democrats in supporting the measure.
At a bill enrollment ceremony after the vote, members of the House and Senate celebrated as Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) signed and formalized the bill’s passage.
“We can put to rest the worries of millions of loving couples who are concerned that someday an activist Supreme Court may take their rights and freedoms away,” said Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.), the first openly gay person elected to the Senate. “We are giving these loving couples the certainty that their marriages are legal and that they will continue to have the same rights and responsibilities and benefits of every other married couple.”
Biden has signaled his support, saying that ensuring federal protections for marriage equality is among his legislative priorities in Congress’s lame-duck session.
“The House’s bipartisan passage of the Respect for Marriage Act — by a significant margin — will give peace of mind to millions of LGBTQI+ and interracial couples who are now guaranteed the rights and protections to which they and their children are entitled,” Biden said in a statement after the House passed the bill. He added that after the Supreme Court in June ended the right to abortion after nearly 50 years, “Congress has restored a measure of security to millions of marriages and families. They have also provided hope and dignity to millions of young people across this country who can grow up knowing that their government will recognize and respect the families they build.”

That they're going to do. It'll be a pleasure to watch. However, the Faustian bargain or deal with the devil, POOTWH, will be Deathsantis trading a POOTWH withdrawal and endorsement of same in 2024 for a POOTWH and crime family full, blanket pardon. You watch. Jared Dear Boy, Ivanka Darlink, Jr. and the Dim one, all pardoned for any and all crimes, suspected crimes and potential crimes of the future.The Juggler said:

Former President Donald Trump shot down Russian attempts to trade former Marine Paul Whelan for “Merchant of Death” arms dealer Viktor Bout, former national security adviser John Bolton said Thursday — as Trump ripped his successor for agreeing to send Bout home in exchange for the return of WNBA star Brittney Griner.
Bolton recalled in an interview with CBS that he was in the midst of his 17-month tenure at the White House when Whelan was detained on concocted espionage charges in December 2018.
“The possibility of a Bout-for-Whelan trade existed back then,” said Bolton, 74, “and it wasn’t made, for very good reasons having to deal with Viktor Bout.”

And I keep hearing on the news about how the charges against Whelan were bogus. You do have to wonder. I think if they were bogus we would have already got him home.Remember the Thomas Nine !! (10/02/2018)

honestly there are bigger issues in this country. hardly anybody actually gives a shit about whether someone stands for the national anthem or not. those people that do are just creating a wedge issue that literally no democrats care about. the anthem being played at sporting events is a stupid tradition anyway.lindamarie73 said:

Not standing for the anthem is every American's right. It's right there in the 1st Amendment.

One day you too will be an elder person I hope no one ever calls you shit for brains..lindamarie73 said:

So Brittany Griner was one of those that wouldn't stand for the anthem. She is/has and will get a lot of shit for that. She does not represent the best America. Who even said that?brianlux said:josevolution said:
You’d have look at her life prior to getting arrested for basically an extract of weed! Was she a great student? Def a great athlete! Was she ever arrested before? I haven’t look deep into her life but I bet she was a good American citizen!brianlux said:brianlux said:I'm not taking side here but I honestly want to know, what is it about Brittney Griner to refer to her as "represents the best America — the best about America"?
Honest question. Anyone?And very possibly so but taking weed extract into Russia does not indicate a lot of smarts. Great athlete, yes, for sure.But I still question what make her the best America has to offer. I am suspicious of such a claim as being more a political move than an accurate statement.I would list Mike McCready as a better candidate for such a statement.
I'm glad she is freed though. Sucks for anyone to be locked up abroad. Hopefully she is smarter next time she packs.
One would hope she would now stand for the anthem after experiencing what real oppression looks and feels like…jesus greets me looks just like me ....0 -

I don’t think we should have traded that man for either Griner or Whelan.Whelan was dishonorably discharged right? So why do people refer to him as a marine?hippiemom = goodness0

Because it fits their narrative in comparing him to a black lesbian who kneeled for a song.cincybearcat said:I don’t think we should have traded that man for either Griner or Whelan.Whelan was dishonorably discharged right? So why do people refer to him as a marine?
And kudos to you for your reasonable take. God speed!www.myspace.com0
