    I'm not the one besieging the Capitol, and a flight risk is a flight risk.

    That’s your interpretation. Has she said she hates America?

    Aren't some of them Proud Boys and/or Oath Keepers? In this context that qualifies as a cabal. They would be more than willing to help a member get away and hide out, or even leave the country.

    I'd have to see who was denied bail and their connection to both groups. You're getting closer. Just take the plunge! :)

    I know YOU don't understand but when she doesn't respect the National Anthem, then she hates America.

    I think a claim without evidence is a claim without evidence.

    I don't know, I think it's impossible to say. I've seen some people do incredibly stupid things.

    As a frequent visitor she may have been lulled into a false sense of security by getting away with it in friendlier times?

    Maybe she'd done the exact same thing in the past and gotten waved through. Alexi Novolny wasn't poisoned by the state until he was.

    I wouldn't even visit England with Vicodin and a prescription unless their State Department gave me something in writing to say it was OK but different people have a different sense of self-preservation.

    I'm gonna have to fence sit on this one.

    Trevor Reed got 16 years and he's now a free American.... I expect the same to happen here eventually.

    Anybody who celebrates 9 years for this relatively minor offense is more in the bag for Russia than even they realize....

    UMmmmmmmmmmmm, she's trying to get her
    Ummmmmmm she's walked off the court during it's playing and before it's playing, saying she won't listen to it and encourages the whole league to do the same.

    Isn't that what the forum wags call a Strawman?? Sounds like a perfect example to me, since we aren't talking about serial offenders or California....

    There's a lot of Americans locked up abroad. One happens to be a black, lesbian, sorta pro athlete. Why do we care about that one so much more?

    Because she's got more privilege than everyone on this forum combined, even though the race-baiters try to tell you otherwise.

    Thumb your nose at the National Anthem & really some sort of negative vibe - "half baked AOC talking points mantra" that she had a chip on her shoulder about...

    - You thought that I would say 'based on ideology'

    Get her back NOW! but no do not trade her for someone of significance.

    If I did what she did but did it to blm, gays, Mexicans, etc, then how would you describe it? I’m guessing things would suddenly change.

    And I'm just waiting for an American special operation unit to free her from terrorist Pooteen's captivity. :)

    It's grave injustice when terrorists kidnap Western citizens and deprive them of their freedom. :(

    Yes but she did bring that x 1 tablespoon worth of "THC"... Enough to get her femur bone 'HI' on a good day (I don't actually know THC etc. ) . None the less I don't want a hardened criminal being exchanged...

    I don't believe anyone forced her to go there and violate the law.

    Prisoner exchange is based upon respecting each other as lawmakers. But this doesn't apply to terrorist organisation ruZZia. :)
