WNBA star Brittney Griner arrested in Russia

[goduke]

You do realize when Trump was president he asked China to release the UCLA stealing thieves, XI released them with no prisoner exchanges immediately. That's the difference! Biden and his administration can't negotiate their way out of a wet paper bag.

I'm convinced Trump would have got Britney out already with out swapping out for a Russian terrorist.

You just compared negotiations of two different countries with the country you are using that relies a lot economically on our business.
It’s not an apples to apples comparison in the slightest

[mama whoiscrying]

The end is near.

[budwiser]

Imo russia signed griner for this, not for her basketball

[budwiser]

Not only do they get bout for a nonthreat, they also sowed division among Americans

[KVB]

I already seen this link before. If you note the date on this, you will see that it took 3 months for this to come out which seems sketchy.

I guess that you can believe the original story that was posted on every major news network, or this one that came out 3 months later.

You do know that Lavar Ball was a known Trump hater, right? He wasn't going any credit regardless what transpired.

You're just denying facts and placing speculation.

You are also twisting the original story that "was posted on every major news network" and I already explained how you and Jibby are specifically doing that.

This has nothing to do with Ball being a Trump hater, again trying to speculate.

You are all over the place.

Why in such denial? That's strange.

Maybe it's not denial, maybe you just can't tell the difference between twisting the story, speculation, and the story that is corroborated by everyone.

Strange that it's so tough for some of you to accept the fact that General Kelly was two days late but was thanked for the effort anyway. You guys should look in the mirror and try to figure that out.

I don't think you guys trolling, I think you have an environmentally caused learning disability aided by the inability to think for yourself. You listen to too much bullshit, and choose to believe what you want in the face of a different reality, and then most likely (based on SBR posts) walk through life crying "whataboutism" to avoid facing your own shortcomings.

Instead of being insulted, just do the work and accept that the world isn't always what you want it to be. Or maybe just grow up.

Sheesh.

[KVB]

Look, you guys can believe what you want. Nobody cares. You don't have to believe Kelly, China, the Balls, UCLA and even Trump.

It doesn't matter.

But when you post fake news at SBR and double down on it, you are just being a bad actor.

Nothing more.

Try to do better. For this topic you can start by at least trying to settle your own personal debates on which blowhard is the bigger blowhard between Lavar Ball and Donald Trump before you speak in public.

Or you can just name call. Whatever floats your boat.

[NrmlCurvSurfr]

Jibbby you are a Fake News spreading numbnuts.

Please try to do better.

For the sake of SBR, social media, and America as a whole, please try to do better.

Yeah guys, can we at least stop the name calling, cmon man!

[KVB]

Yeah guys, can we at least stop the name calling, cmon man!

Yup, spreading and doubling down on Fake news isn't a name call, it's a statement of fact.

So is numbnuts.

But when I tell Jibbby he's an idiot, it's even the same. I'm still calling him Jibby, his name, i'm just attatching a description of his behavior to it.

Sometimes that's the only way to get their attention, it's the only language they know.

And it worked.

Let's stop making SBR an internet haven for misinformation before SBR has to do it for us. Then everyone will think, incorrectly, that their free speech is being attacked.

It's your choice, posters. You've already pushed SBR once, and bannings ensued, and everyone complained like they were innocent.

[KVB]

Yeah guys, can we at least stop the name calling, cmon man!

Let's keep worrying about name calling too, and ignore the elephant that is embarrassing the egos of posters who just found out what they know is wrong...reality.

Let them take it out on the posters who brought the news, and ignore the sources that twisted it.

That'll ensure they don't make the same mistake twice, right?

[NrmlCurvSurfr]

I hope we can all agree this was ALL political, it was clearly a bad deal for US as a country, and is just another example of someone’s actions not having consequences, we see this on a local level daily with our own criminals…*cough* California *cough* …and countless other liberal safe havens…

for the record 9 years for some weed is also insane, but when you are in another country you play by their rules…

Corroborated by everyone? Who is "everyone"? Lavar Ball?

Back in November, right after this happened, and 3 months before the story was posted at ESPN (The one that you linked), Lavar Ball claimed that he and Xi Jinping got those kids released.

Have any major news sources posted the story that you linked, other than ESPN?

Certainly Trump hating CNN would have been all over this updated information 3 months later.

[Kermit]

Here is Trump talking about what he was doing to help those UCLA kids. I don't see anyone in the comments section claiming that he never did anything.

Plenty of other "news sources" parroted the espn report. As far as I can tell, that version is supported by Lavar Ball and a maybe unnamed team source. The other version by Trump and his press secretary. By my standards, the evidence is a bit thin to firmly believe either side. I'm more this school of thought:

Who the hell really knows what happen? Except KVB, he seems pretty sure for some reason. I choose to remain skeptical.

Biden done a miracle here

KVB is claiming that we were posting fake news. Every major news outlet posted basically the same story when this happened. Those articles are still up and I don't see any redactions to any of them.

Maybe Trump didn't do anything and he is flat out lying. Or maybe Lavar Ball is the one who is full of shit. Ball claimed that he and Xi Jinping worked together to get the kids released. I find that much harder to believe than Trump was responsible. Trump has a direct line to the leaders of the other countries. And really, who the fukk is Lavar Ball in China?

[JIBBBY]

Yeah guys, can we at least stop the name calling, cmon man!

KVB started it.

I agree, I'm done with the name calling. I like KVB but he popped off. I like to defend myself. No hard feelings on my end.

I know I was right with Trump getting those UCLA players to go free though.

Funny thing about all of this was that no one claimed that Trump didn't do anything until Trump got mad that Lavar Ball wouldn't thank him for helping, and Trump said something like "I should have let them stay in jail". That was when Ball got into a war with Trump and claimed that it was really him (Lavar Ball) that got the kids released.

Biden gave up the house for a ghetto tranny in this deal. If that is a miracle then congrats Joe Biden. lol..

Exactly. The players were thanking Trump when they were released for a reason.

Lavar Ball is an attention seeking loser. Can't trust a word he says. I feel bad for the Ball kids with a father like that.

Yeah, he traded Boardwalk for Baltic Avenue. I would love to play Monopoly with him.

What are you, in third grade?

You bring SBR down when you post false stories and narratives, whatever your reason may be.

Besides, it's not cool.

What kind of idiot trades a Russian arms dealer for a basketball playing druggie?
That's like trading Tom Brady for Brock Purdy.

This nation is doomed.

[Booya711]

Serious question for all people that think this was a good trade. Hypothetical question here…If Trump had swapped an arms dealer for a maga hat wearing basketball player….would you all be saying good trade??

We all know the answer to this…a resounding hell no!

apparently not only did one of the world's most dangerous men get released, that ALREADY hated the usa, we also had to drop any and all charges against saudis who kill our journalists... all that for someone that hates america, beats up his wife, and claims he is a woman

Agreed 100%.

It's was clearly a political move for Biden to win the black and tranny votes.
