Let's talk about Griner, Whelan, and Bout....
There was a time when an American being freed from hostile foreign soil would have been cause for celebration. But folks on the Right have cultivated an absolutely backwards brand of patriotism that has led to Brittney Griner, someone who gave this country Olympic gold medals, being downright vilified. And time and again, I see the same insipid talking points trotted out to justify hating her, Joe Biden, or both. So I thought it'd be good to break this down, point by point:
"Biden could have traded for Paul Whelan instead of Griner!"
No, he couldn’t. Whelan wasn’t on the table. Russia has painted him as a spy, and they’re holding on to him. It was Brittney Griner or nobody. Whelan himself called her release “wonderful news”, and his family put out a statement, as follows: "There is no greater success than for a wrongful detainee to be freed & for them to go home. The Biden Admin made the right decision to bring Ms. Griner home, & to make the deal that was possible, rather than waiting for one that wasn't going to happen.” And for what it’s worth, Trump didn’t do jack to bring him back while he was president, so let’s dismiss the pathetic bloviating from 45 regarding his deal-making acumen.
"She deserved it for handling drugs!"
No, she didn’t. Even if the few drops of hash oil weren’t medicinal, as her defense claimed, nine years in a penal colony for a vape cartridge should be outrageous by anyone’s standards. And let’s not forget, Russia has made exceptions to their strict drug policies for athletes before. Hell, remember that doping scandal from some years back? In an attempt to win prestige the Russian government concocted a whole program for helping their athletes to evade doping regulations. They were technically banned from the Olympics and global sports for years. But, oh, yeah, this basketball player had less than one gram of hash oil. Nine years in the gulag! She had it coming!!
"Viktor Bout is a danger to the world!"
No, he isn’t. He was Mr. “Lord of War” fifteen years ago. Not anymore. He’s been out of the game for over a decade. The market has changed, the players have changed, technology has changed, the world has changed. He’s not the “Merchant of Death” emerging from a cursed tomb, he’s not going to be handing Cobra Commander any laser guns, and letting Putin crow for a few weeks about getting a buddy out of prison is a small price to pay for reuniting a woman with her family.
"She hates America because she wouldn’t stand for the national anthem!"
Give me a break.
If this was TLDR, I'll just point to Beau of the Fifth Column.

Peter Doocy tries “gotcha” question on Jen Psaki, gets schooled INSTANTLY
In the years to come, as we weather disasters on the regular, we'll never know how many lives could have been saved if the GOP hadn't decided to make climate change an issue. If they hadn't taken the easy money and doubled down on fighting every step we have to take to answer this threat. I'll always be thankful for whatever we manage to accomplish that makes the future a little brighter, but I'll always know that we could've done so much more if only we hadn't been slowed down by the ignorant, the arrogant, and the greedy.
