America Getting Britney Griner Released Encompasses Everything Wrong With This Country
Over the past few weeks, there’s been a coordinated media frenzy celebrating the U.S. government exchanging a notorious Russian prisoner for a WNBA player named Britney Griner. As many have pointed out, what’s more uniquely baffling about this situation is, as we speak, there are thousands if not millions of inmates in penitentiaries all over America serving time for marijuana charges. Furthermore, none of the so-called “compassionate” elected officials have lifted a fucking finger to release them. I wonder why; could it be because the country profits from having more inmates, could it be because the “war on drugs” never ended, or could it be that they just don’t give a fuck and they just got Griner out of prison as a publicity stunt? We don’t know. But as Ms. Tomi Lauren stated on her channel, “It must pay to be a whiney celebrity”.
There is another aspect of this situation that was brought to the forefront. Russia has had an American man imprisoned for several years. He’s been imprisoned because they say he’s a spy. Assuming that’s true, does it make logical sense for the U.S. to negotiate Griner’s release over his? I think that’s one of the stupidest moves that could’ve been made. An argument could be made that, if you could get both released, you should’ve let them stay. The message this sends the rest of the world is that America cares more about celebrities than patriots. Furthermore, it sends soldiers and potential soldiers that same message, which could lead to concerns for national security.
Over the past few years, the degeneration of America has been precipitous. The country has been divided on issues that are ridiculously unfathomable. If the country continues down this path, God help us all. It’s been real. Peace!
