A nine-year sentence for personal use cannabis? There is no legitimate argument that this is in any way fair, even in countries doing everything they can to “crack down on drugs” (which Russia is not doing), and no one would be in a better position to know that than a former American judge.

Amazingly, one former American judge is also a huge MAGA, and darned if the stars don’t align again such that the MAGA is supporting the Russian government more than the American citizen (Also black, lesbian, woman). Read Judge Jeanine’s thoughts on the matter:

Let’s talk about Brittney Griner. I’m tired of everyone saying she’s a hostage and she’s a political prisoner and all this stuff. She’s been going to Russia since 2014, right?

Playing basketball there, making a million dollars or whatever she makes. And she knows what the laws are in Russia. She’s got a vape with cannabis and hashish oil in the vape.

She doesn’t deny that it’s hers, she doesn’t deny that she packed it, she just says, I was in a rush. She had a trial, she was supposed to testify at the trial.

The trial started on July 1st, July 7th she was supposed to testify. She chose not to testify and instead had a friend, I think, give character testimony.

And instead of testifying, she then decided to plead guilty. So let’s just take off the table that this is improper what has happened to her.

What I’m saying is, let’s just take off the table the woman who hates the national anthem, who probably is not going to hear it for the next nine years if she’s over there.

And that’s something else that tees the hell out of me. You know, you don’t want to hear it, you don’t even want to come out of the locker room? Forget you’re going to take a knee.

And the bolded sentence is all one needs to know. Never mind that a MAGA was always going to be a Russian apologist under any circumstances.
