He didn’t necessarily get rich because of Nike. Nike was a part, yes. But he’s got 20 years of NBA salary and numerous endorsements.
You use slave made devices…you presumably use them to help you make money… not better.

I had no idea who Paul Whelan was until today, from what I have read he was discharged from the Marines after a court martial related to larceny. Not exactly the stuff of heroes.
I am not going to try and compare who deserves an exchange most, but it does seem a lot of people are just jumping on the fact this guy was a marine and thats it.

WRONG! Don’t try to put me in the human garbage bin.
I didn’t get rich off of slave labor. Yaboi did that.

He served the country he’s wanting to save him far more than Woke Ass did, even if he stole.

And he is also a citizen of 4 different countries. I am the last person to say that is bad. I love a good global citizen but there have been discussions on this board with other members who exprwssed about concerns anyone with a second nationality and where their true loyalty lies.

Stop repeating that she was jailed for a minor offense. That is the US standard. Other countries deem Pot as more serious. you travel there you have to be willing to pay the price if you get caught. Its not our laws its theirs.
Just stop. Criminals get put in jail. Full stop.

If you are truly horrified* about the American Carceral State, join the left in their calls for reform.
*-which I doubt that you truly are. This is partisan performance.

And Brittney Griener is a criminal too. So according to you she needed to be put in jail. Full stop.

The Admiral mouth piece for the administration said she was innocent and shouldn’t have been in jail.
It’s my understanding that she was in jail.

Don’t join the libs in reform though, they’ll just make you dumber with their cries of isms.
Instead, support reform because you’re an intelligent human being, who does not rely on negative emotions to get through the day.

People will undoubtedly die because this arms dealer is released.
Does anybody think getting Griner released early is worth lives?

And you pervert President paid to get her out of jail where she deserved to be. While he keeps his own political prisoners locked up.

Just asking how is this arms dealer any worse than any other arms dealer?
We sell weapons all other the world that kill innocents in a plethora of countries.
I am not saying this dude is any way a good guy or should have been exchanged but lets have some honesty here.

He sold directly to war criminals and African warlords.
Of course some of our weapons do tend to end up in those places. But we don’t sell directly to them barring someone screwing up.

Oh, we’re definitely selling weapons to war criminals.
There are absolutely atrocities being openly committed by every dirty little Slav in both sides of Eastern Europe right this minute. If you ever recognized the fact that Arabs in Arabia are among the most violent and gory people on Earth, then get a load of everywhere that borders Russia.
