Daily walk to chow.

Quote:

Brittney Griner is being transferred to a Russian penal colony -- a move her family has dreaded since Griner's August conviction on drug charges -- but her lawyers don't know where she is or where she's heading, her Russian legal team announced early Wednesday in Moscow.

The transfer began Friday, her lawyers said, a day after U.S. embassy officials visited her and far ahead of the schedule they had anticipated after Griner's appeal was denied Oct. 25. Typically, her attorneys had said, a transfer takes weeks or months. Griner's attorneys and U.S. officials were not aware she had been moved until Tuesday.

Griner's family might not know where she is for some time; according to her lawyers, "Notification is given via official mail and normally takes up to two weeks to be received."

Russian penal colonies are known for having far harsher conditions than the Moscow jail where Griner has been since she was detained in February.

Hopefully he is chained and doing hard labor such as breaking rocks with a pickaxe for 18 hours per day.

Man, did she run over your dog, back up and run over it again? Why would you wish something like this on someone that isn't a killer or a predator?

I would. At least he can serve as a reminder not to just take your American freedom/privileges for granted when going to other countries.

Don't take pot with you to Moscow, kids.

Been waiting to hear about Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton making the pilgrimage to Moscow. She ain't gonna be a celebrity in the Gulag. Stupid games, stupid prizes.

I wish people understood how good they have it in the USA without going through something like this.

Although, from personal experience, nyone who has spent more than a couple of days in Russia already knew this.

Damn y'all are ice cold. That's a horrible fate and I wouldn't want it for someone I hate. Griner is at worst a mild annoyance. I feel for her family. I would hate to know someone I loved was stuck there.

Elections are when people find out what politicians stand for, and politicians find out what people will fall for.

You literally just have to travel once to 95% of the rest of the world to know this.

Yep...

I've lived in:

Singapore - cleanish compared to other SE Asian countries but disparity between rich and poor is 100x more than US: oppressive government

S Korea - beautiful country and the people are sometimes nice (they loved my babydoll blonde 1 year old daughter ; had daily requests to take pictures with her... it was strange). Overall nice country but definitely "dirty" and less advanced than US (except for internet speeds); relaxed government day to day

Australia - nice and clean; people very friendly in Perth, but also condescending to outsiders and super super socialist bleeding hearts who like to act tough but whine about everything; nanny-state government

Iraq - war zone ; enough said

Travelled to: (mix of business and personal below)
England - alright and 23 years ago; on par with US
Germany - beautiful in Bavaria; no complaints
Virgin Islands - dumps; nice beaches
Mexico (many times) - people are nice; infrastructure is terrible if not in a major city - even then it's hit or Miss
Suriname - very poor; unsafe feeling outside the hotel
Kenya - beautiful and friendly people; super poor country
Thailand - poor and bad infrastructure ; but nice enough folks; had a feeling of widespread corruption
Namibia - super nice people; but very poor as well; slow to respond to anything ("this is Africa")
Romania - very neat place; lots of historical sites; nice enough folks; mostly poor people; run down but hate soviets and very pro-American
Italy - beautiful and historic; better than most other places I've been; felt mostly safe except near train stations where migrants were gathered in large groups
Greece - very nice people; much poorer than Italy on the whole; good roads; degraded buildings; safe enough

Unsurprisingly, rapelor did not prepare him for this sort of reasoning.

And yet she did AND broke the laws of the country she was traveling in. My DGAFs are extremely high on her.

I guarantee Griner is being treated better than the typical weed offender locked up in US jail. She is literally the MVP (Most Valuable Prisoner) in entire world right now.

If you think I am a liberal, you are incorrect. Assume sarcasm on my part. Sorry if something I post has already been posted. Just the way it is!!

At least she won't have to listen to the racist and oppressive Star Spangled Banner anymore. She's safe from that.

If more neo-Marxist liberals got to experience what she's going through, it would fix our country.

I'm no fan of Griner and I'm glad to see that TexAgs is consistent in its belief that we should follow foreign laws instead of having an illegal knife in Mexico.
If you say you hate the state of politics in this nation and you don't get involved in it, you obviously don't hate the state of politics in this nation.

She'll come back and blame it on the U.S. Watch.

True. Most female prisons in the US are filled with non-violent offenders, and many now do not have a choice at all as to whether a sexual predator who 'identifies' as a female is locked in with them.

At the altar of gender dysphoria, actual women have less value/rights/say/worth in the west today vs. predatory men.

Siberia sucks...but she's gonna run that prison colony

I doubt there are many female prisoners in siberia that are 6'9" 205lb lesbian professional athletes

Man, the joy some of you get from a persons suffering. It's very disturbing. She said some awful things but this punishment does not fit the crime.

Some would say this enjoyment is… sociopathic, but I'm not a psychiatrist.
