    I don't agree with every conclusion he reaches or everything that he says, but it is well worth reading for someone that wants to understand multiple sides of the argument.

    So is the narrative around the world now: If you want the US to release your criminals back to you, start arresting gay, black D list celebrities and athletes?

    I have no idea, I don't really care. I don't care about Grinder or the former Marine. I'm here to talk ****. I don't give a **** about politics. I'm not a conservative, I'm not sure why affiliation is so important to people on here, why everyone wants to be categorized is ****ing strange to me. Stop associating me with these fake actors you call politicians and fake groups yall calling political parties. These dudes do all that yapping on tv and then have lunch with each other. This is a new America and in this new America there is nothing of value that I want to conserve. I'm here to talk ****, my opinions are my opinions and are not in support or in opposition of any party or affiliation. If we have another lockdown I'll pick sides again to have fun with you guys

    This, except applied to the entirety of America. I don’t understand why people’s political affiliation forms such a large part of their identity in the US.

    In Australia everyone hates politicians and we just try to vote for the less brain-dead and corrupt bunch.

    Putin wasn't releasing anyone but Griner. For one reason and one reason only. To sow discord in the U.S. He knew the exchange would set off the right just like it has. He is not a stupid man. The country played right into his hands. He has been doing this **** for years. Sowing division and we always fall for it. This whole "it wasn't an even exchange!" bullshit. We will never have an even prisoner exchange with Russia because we do not arrest Russian citizens for low-level **** like mar1juana posession and sentence them to 9 or 14 years.

    I keep saying it and I know people disagree but they need to lower those rims. The argument against it has always been silly to me, they already make the balls smaller to compensate that women on average have smaller hands and being able to palm a basketball matters...

    Well, dunking matters. It's a huge part of the game. There are entire archetypes of slashers that are feared when they drive because you know you can get yammed on.

    Lower the rims.

    We see eye to eye but this doesn't make sense (Biden's trade). Outside of being a US citizen Griner is worthless. Hates the country, adds nothing of value (nobody watches the WNBA) and is a dumbass. Not worth an arms dealer

    The sole reason for this trade was to score some votes from women, blacks, and gays.

    Then tell me what imprisoned Russian we have that was worth the exchange. We do not have low-level Russian offenders, genius.

    You are the exact mark Putin was looking for to stoke the division. Well done comrade!

    Wow I mean wow.

    You sir are spouting the fake news. I don't listen to that trash. You think you know me but you are the clueless person to lump all who don't think exactly like you into the far right crackpots. Way to stretch your "truth".

    I'm an independent who hasn't voted on the R ticket since Bob Dole - and I vote every time. So keep lumping those who are willing to admit and change their mind into the crackpot right.

    … Then don’t make the trade and leave the dumbass law-breaking, domestic violence-committing, America-hating minor celebrity where she is?
