The Prisoner Swap Pander

The Biden White House had an imprisoned Russian arms dealer to swap for an American prisoner held in Russia. The choices apparently were drug-using WNBA player Brittney Griner, who is Black, LGBTQ+, and on record as not caring much for our country, or former U.S. Marine Paul Whelan accused of espionage which charge our government says is false.

I imagine the Bidenistas asking themselves which group is a more reliable support of the Democratic Party: (a) the Marines or (b) African-Americans and the sexually unconventional? Their answer appears clear. 

The twofer Ms. Griner got the nod, the Marine continues to languish in prison. I call that a straight-out political pander, and one with which I'll wager most Americans do not agree. 

Our ruling elite are pond scum who despise us. The least we can do is return the favor; perhaps we can think of ways to make their lives miserable.

Afterthought: The Russians also got a twofer. They got their arms dealer and they made President Biden even more unpopular with Americans, especially so with American service personnel.
