As a non pot smoker with no tats, I’d pay a substantial amount to watch Woody Harrelson smack Wayne around.
I've been in California all week. In a suburban area - not downtown SF or LA. I was in a relatively nice hotel for a business meeting at least 15 miles from a major metropolitan center or downtown. I had to go take a call so I went by the elevators. The door opened and this lady came out and then turned around and started cursing at someone inside. "Ma'am I said, can you please keep it down". Then I looked inside the elevator and no one was in it. She's just a homeless maniac who has free reign around here.

They seriously have bums that are crazy out of their mind just wondering around everywhere now. They're all on meth, opioids, and fentanyl. "But pot is different"... yeah, sure thing man. Like there is no correlation of our country going soft on pot and the increase of those other drugs.

If you drink you are the worst kind of hypocrite there is.

Wait a minute...I’m confused. Griner’s “they didn’t read me my Miranda rights” public statement didn’t get the case dismissed? I was sure that was going to work. <rolls eyes>

Having said that...9 years is ridiculous. I’m sure it’s merely a ploy to squeeze as much out of the prisoner exchange as the Ruskies can get. That’s why they turned down the original offer from Biden. Now that her (crazy) sentence has been handed down they will start negotiating for an even better deal.

I’m no fan of her very public defiant stance towards her own country but I most certainly wish her a speedy release.

Again, this is what the people wanted. They wanted Uncle Joe Biden in the White House and we are not even halfway through his tenure and all we have gotten in return is awful inflation, gas prices, a disaster in Afghanistan, lies (thus far, it may happen) about canceling some of our student loan debt, and giving up a #1 seed ala 1996 UK for a 16 seed like Alabama Tech Poly University.

That is the equivalent of this trade to me...you have to make it somewhat equal. Most of us do not give a crap about Griner and she is not as important as keeping this terrorist guy off the streets IMO. Trade some lower level Russian guy for her...Biden and this administration are morons.

I just hope in 2024 we get some fresh blood. No one wants to see grumpier old men between Biden (rolled out in a wheel chair Weekend at Bernie's style) vs. Trump the Tyrant. I cannot stand either...I would trust my 33 year old brother to be president in 2024 over either, but he cannot run...yet two old as dirt aholes can do so. Our rules on the POTUS election are wack when it comes to age restrictions.

I agree with the we can do better than two old geezers as candidates. We need someone younger (I don't care what party).

I disagree that people wanted Biden ... they just wanted someone other than Trump (and got Biden). The candidates for both parties, have been horrendous the past two elections. It is amazing we can't get better candidates.

Yeah, things were soooo bad under Trump. Most prosperous, relatively peaceful time in history.

Jesus, you people live in an alternate universe. Stay home on the next election day.

The Five mentioned that another American was arrested last year for having medical marijuana and he got 14 years. But no one even knows his name because he’s not famous.

hopefully, we can work to get them all released as soon as possible.

If you’re Griner, patriotically like McCain, do you tell the president not to offer anymore, stay put? “I’ll be alright. Don’t give up the house for me. My guards like me.”

Would be so awesome if people here got ten years for weed. A loser free America! I bet you wouldn’t see as many tattoos either.
I probably play by the rules and abide by the laws as much (or more) than anyone on this board but this post ^^ is one of the most asinine I’ve ever read. Not trying to be a jerk but this is nuts. Is this a joke ?

I think it would be an easy sell for Putin to get her to just bash the hell out of the US and stir up even more racial tensions. Tell her she can rage against the machine and get her sentenced reduced to 8 months or she can do the whole 9 year. BLM was funded by our enemies as much as they were by foolish Americans.

... at the end of the day she's American and doesn't deserve 9 years for her crime.

Actually, she does deserve it because a Russian court said so and she admitted to doing it. Does it suck for her? Yeah, it does.

The biden administration failed her just as they have failed 95% of the rest of the country. This administration has let Russia drag their you know what across their faces and said what you gonna do about? Shameful.

Agreed, but maybe Biden admin was waiting until she was convicted to deal, so that they could get the most money out of the exchange to come. They can extort money from Griner's people, AND get their palms greased by Russia by letting the arms dealer out.

If y'all haven't figured out by now how this "administration" does their business, I don't know when it will ever happen for ya.

...and there's half the problem with American politics in a nutshell.

No one gives a fk about rights and issues. They just want to feel warm and fuzzy about the person they vote for. They want someone they could grab a beer with and have a good time, while getting their student loans paid off.

They got no idea how fast the gravy train ends once the communists and fascists are in control of a country. Doesn't matter how many examples they are shown. They just don't give a sht about their own rights enough to educate themselves.

Having now listened to "her" voice, I think "she" has a Y chromosome.

That’s not relevant to her situation and it’s not like she had a surgery or is taking drugs to change who she is. It’s pretty messed up that anyone brings this up right now or ever considering if she did have a sexual anomaly such as XXY it would be a tough thing to mentally live with, and she doesn’t deserve it mentioned here or anywhere.

My shtick is talking smack about pot smokers and people with tats that aren’t country club (I.e. visible when wearing shorts and a polo shirt).

It was Bidens time and the machine came through. He had been waiting for 50 years for his turn and the establishment gave it to him. Dementia and corruption were a bonus for all of us. Inflation, recession and a country gone insane are good for us all too because we remember how things were when times were normal.

Us old folks can sit around and whittle on our sticks talking about the good ole days when gas was 25 cents a gallon and a boy knew he was a boy and a girl knew she was a girl. And they knew one from the other, even with the lights turned out.

Agreed, but that's a pattern here with some. Just like constantly saying Michelle Obama has a penis or once Biden picked Harris, the usuals immediately began calling her a slut and a *****. It's a weird mentality that if they don't like a woman, she must secretly be a man or a *****.

I think that's a little different. Specifically for Harris who was sleeping with a 60 year old married man she worked for. I mean she did sort of sleep her way to the top.

No one happier about Griner’s dumb move than Paul Whelan. Biden probably never stated Whelan’s name until his woke constituents began to beg for a prisoner swap for Griner. He probably rots in a Russian jail, but for her foolishness. I bet this is an answered prayer.

AND YES ED, NIGHTWISH, ET AL, I KNOW WAYNE WAS TALKING ABOUT WILLIE* BROWN I WAS SIMPLY PILING ON/IMPLYING IN A JOKING FASHION THAT HARRIS ALSO SCREWED/SLURPED BIDEN.

*as part of my ongoing commitment to posting only the highest quality content for you, my loyal Catpaw brethren, I edited my original post to properly spell Mr. Brown's name

Don’t tell me that there aren’t political motives behind BG. The case of Audrey Lorber is a good indicator. She plead guilty to smuggling 17 grams of weed. Was released after 2 months in prison and paying a 15,000 rubles fine.

Everyone on here that is defending the sentencing is doing so because you don’t agree with her politics. Her politics doesn’t mean she deserves to be railroaded by foreign governments. If you celebrate it like many here and in the political thread have, that says more about you than her and you really should reevaluate your life and the things that bring you joy.

Trump was not anti America., or anti middle class, or anti energy. Biden is anti anything that make the working man’s life easier or better.

I never said it wasn’t political. I did say the sentence is ridiculous. That said, I also mentioned the not famous man that received a 14 year sentence for medical marijuana . I want him out too!

Let’s just focus on Audrey Lorber. Case closed.
