@Sleep_Is_For_Chumps if your husband feels that way it’s his hair shirt and right. He’s been there. His reaction. He’s not speaking. You are. All countries have blood on their hands. Their citizens, others, or both. Trying to qualify your remarks with second hand association to a veteran continues to demonstrate the weakness of your position, madam, and still demonstrates that both your first connection and your flame were off topic and inappropriate.
@Sleep_Is_For_Chumps where troops are stationed is not of their choosing. To call our soldiers “death merchants” and to equate them to this situation is again a wild conflation where you are spending considerable effort at the mental gymnastics to bring your grievances with American foreign policy into a conversation about political kidnapping and the State department’s prioritization of celebrity over political prisoners there longer. Start a thread about our imperialist ways? Cool. Noreply pls

@klgrady Linux. Get in line. The list of awful programming languages is a long one.
@andrewsweet I think it was worded pretty fairly. I agree that Griner’s detention was totally political. She was held and tried because of her celebrity status as a basketball player, knowing that would ring up well at the a state Department because the media would run with it.
Viktor Bout will kill Americans again.
Paul Whelan isn’t a basketball player. He’s been detained for 4 years. Griner admitted possession. Whelan? Should he have gone first?
The question was: is it fair? Equivalent?
@Sleep_Is_For_Chumps yes, indeed, America is the biggest arms dealer. The Merchant of Death killed a lot of AMERICANS. That’s what he was in jail for. Parking ticket. Mass murderer. Equal? No. What balanced the scales was her celebrity. She could have been blue. She handled a basketball. That’s a order consistent thought. Makes me wonder if a lack of thought, or the ability to think, is the basis of this insipid post that weakly pulls the race card when the real facts are irrefutable.
The Mini-Big Lie, in Arizona. Even without Trump the GOP is epidemically corrupted. #politics https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/09/us/politics/kari-lake-election-lawsuit.html
@corlin it’s not an equivalency. Exactly. There are other Americans who have been held longer, and for equally political reasons. What’s equivalent about one’s celebrity escalating your status? If it was you, or me? We’d still be in jail.
Global disruption of democracy is the modern A-bomb. Why nuke the world to preserve petro power if you can cripple it by installing unqualified inept and moronic faux-populist ass clowns through voter suppression and targeting billions of roubles and riyals to buy politicos, and neutralize societies that agreed to combat global warming. There are $132T in assets in the ground that backstop that campaign. The countries that ratified the Paris Accord are all under attack.
@BreakingKind you should like it here. No bots or trolls. Pretty easy to use
More signs of #fascism on the March, in Germany.
If you speak of me?
Then yes verily!
If you speak of Trump,
Change 2nd “i” to a for that hump.
