Russia gets an arms dealer, US gets a female basketball player; leaves veteran Marine behind

The Biden administration prisoner exchange is a clear example of how incompetent and immoral they are after exchanging Viktor Bout, a Russian citizen also known as the "Merchant of Death" for a WNBA basketball player Britney Griner while leaving US Marine Corps veteran Paul Whelan to languish in a Russian prison. 

Griner actually committed a Russian crime by bringing marijuana into the country, while Whelan was railroaded by being falsely accused of spying. He has been in prison since 2018 and was sentenced to 16 years, while Griner has been in custody since this past February after the pot was found in her luggage.

US policy in prisoner exchanges is to free the longest incarcerated American and I did the math: 

Whelan was detained in December 2018 and Griner in February 2022. Thus, December + 2019 + 2020 + 2021 + 11/12 of 2022 > February 2022 + 10 of 2022. 

Conclusion: Whelan has been in a Russian prison a lot freaking longer than Britney Griner, but Whelan キ gay, black, female, basketball player. Thus, Griner gets the break while Whelan gets the shaft.

Biden's handlers initially tried to get both Griner and Whelan released in exchange for a very dangerous person responsible for the deaths of many thousands of victims, but couldn't convince Putin's people to do a 2-for-1.

Bout was convicted in 2011 of a conspiracy to kill Americans and was given a 15 year sentence.

So, based upon Whelan's white supremacy, the Russians freed Griner and Whelan can whistle as far as Biden  is concerned.

Nevertheless, Whelan's brother, David Whelan, congratulated Griner on her release in a Thursday statement.

"There is no greater success than for a wrongful detainee to be freed and for them to go home. The Biden Administration made the right decision to bring Ms. Griner home, and to make the deal that was possible, rather than waiting for one that wasn't going to happen," he wrote.

His statement also noted that the Biden administration notified the Whelan family that Paul would be left behind in the exchange. 

David's statement pointed out that it was the second time the Biden administration had left Paul behind in a prisoner exchange, with the last instance coming in April, proving to many Americans that Biden's priorities have nothing to do with ethics or morals, just like decisions he makes on a daily basis.

"How do you continue to survive, day after day, when you know that your government has failed twice to free you from a foreign prison?" David added.

Biden mumbled and it sounded as if he said Griner will be back in the United States on Friday.

Bill Clinton, Sex Consultant

Herman Cain has his hands full with problems being hurled at him by anonymous women who claim he has been sexually inappropriate with remarks and/or demonstrations, or that they just made them feel uncomfortable, or whatever. Mr. Cain blames the Perry campaign for spreading these lies, and the campaign denies it totally, just as Cain denies the allegations.  A third anonymous woman has also come forward, and claimed a similar occurrence happened to her, but she never reported it and is reluctant to give her name. Justin Beiber is also having similar problems with a woman who claims he fathered her child in a bathroom after a concert he gave, and he too denies this claim and plans to continue giving good concert.

Maybe Bill Clinton can come (no pun intended) to their rescue, just like he did with Anthony Weiner when he got snagged with his Weinerish body photos on Twitter. Maybe Bill can also help Julian Assange, the Wikileaks leader, with his sexcapade allegations. Cain, Beiber and Assange can then have bumper stickers that say, "I'm a friend of Bill's."

On a funnier note, Occupy Everything But a Job is still going fast and furious. Oakland's mayor, Jean Quan, who originally gave the protesting bagovonds her blessings, soonafter took those blessings away and replaced them with teargas and police muscle. However, she had a change of heart, a wont for liberals to have, (when it's a conservative, it's called 'flip-flopping'), and she allowed the mob of slimeballs to return to the park, repitch their greasy tents where they could have sex with abandon, and protest things they cannot even spell.

Hey baby, whas your name?

In the wild and wacky world of terrorism, Viktor Bout was convicted of trying to sell weapons that would be used to kill Americans. Bout had little to say to the press and will likely be spending the rest of his days in the slammer.  On a more serious note, Linday Lohan is also going to jail where she will likely get better treatment than Viktor Bout, as she had no inclinations to kill Americans, just perhaps, her career. This is her 5th jail sentence and she will report on November 9th. It's expected she will not serve much time in the hoosegow because of prison overcrowding. Lohan will likely spend about a day or less in the slammer, which, hopefully will not interfere with her glamorous life. She has a photoshoot for Playboy, psychotherapy for her substance abuse problems to attend, and then plans to rendezvous with Bill Clinton when she's a free woman. Wait, that isn't true.

Solyndra, Sun Power, Beacon Power, green jobs, Fanny & Freddie, OWS and Obama. Can things get more screwed up? Just saying.
