"Why should I have to research laws in the foreign country I'm going to? It's the same everywhere, isn't it?" - Classic "Ugly American" (and a direct paraphrase of some idiot I overheard while in hospital - he was going to China.)
Actually, yes. Same as Robert Schellenberg: he was already a convicted drug trafficker in Canada where he got a slap on the wrist, then got caught doing the same thing in China.
This chick is insufferable and deserves everything the Russians are about to dish out. Colored, tatted up everywhere, gay, monstrous, and totally out of place. She's correct to be deeply worried. And the US embassy in Moscow is all but deserted and out of business.
And the US embassy in Moscow is all but deserted and out of business.
The Russians first projected an image of the TIME Magazine cover "Bringing the Serbs to Heel" on the building of the US embassy. Then they renamed the street to "Donetsk People's Republic Square". The response of the embassy was to remove the address from its website and to use co-ordinates instead.
Russian authorities have renamed the street outside the embassy after a separatist region that claims to be independent from Ukraine, "Donetsk People's Republic Square."
Like most of the world besides Russia, the U.S. refuses to recognize the Donetsk "republic" and, so far, appears to be refusing to use the new address.
And then:
Following the change of address, this week the U.S. unveiled a workaround of sorts. The Embassy's website quietly switched its listed contacts to coordinates: "55,75566° N, 37,58028°E." At least one section of the website, meanwhile, has kept the traditional address: Bolshoy Deviatinsky Pereulok No. 8.
Sent by the last janitor in the basement with a ham radio ,, in morse code. There are less than 100 inhabitors of the US Moscow embassy now, which had 1,200 ten years ago. Dust in the wind.
You know, I don't have a problem with someone hating the US- you don't get to choose where you are born. But I would expect them to be seeking citizenship in a country more to their liking.
To proclaim that you hate the US while continuing to enjoy the benefits of US citizenship, and then ask for diplomatic intervention when you run afoul of the law in another country is ridiculous. I hope comrade Griner rots in a gulag.

Neither do I, if they are foreigners (not a fan of the US myself). But I think anyone who is an American should love his country, and the same for every other country. Chadians should love Chad.
It's true that you don't pick your country. But you also do not pick your parents, siblings and children. Yet even if I saw some really annoying brat that I hated, I would be rather disturbed if the parents said that they do not love him. Same for countries.

She thought her black privilege card would be accepted in Russia.
Didn't realize that the Russians don't view her as black, let alone grant her privileges on that basis.
You think Russia imprisons people for being black?
Only if they're American citizens.
Was she imprisoned for being black?
If they did, it was a brilliant move to shove a wedge right into America's weakest part.
If she had been a straight white man, no one would have cared.
In fact, Huffington Post may have written about how he deserved to be tortured to death, like they did with Otto Warmbier.
Drug trafficking, ostensibly. Though many other actions also fall afoul of Russia's laws, which are rather strict.
Countries like Russia arbitrarily arrest Western citizens to use as leverage and bargaining chips in negotiations though.
Countries apply laws selectively, much like mods on web forums.

that's a chick?
A lesbian.

It's a man.
We've truly lost when even people here are playing the fucking stupid emperor has no clothes game.
Hilarious if true. It's denied on various internet sites though.
tallest WNBA player ever
no breasts whatsoever
male hips
Adams apple
deep low voice
Yeah, I saw the 200+ cm and thought: what the hell?
Funny how this is a man and Ellen Page is a woman with all of her 153 cm.
I thought you were trolling until I clicked the link.
lmao, maybe she(?) should petition to Wakanda for help
I also noticed the apparent Adam's apple on this Basketball American damsel in distress.

Bad times for Brittney Griner ahoy.

You mean Deviatinsky Pereouluk? Yeah the Russians did rename it to Donbas something, fucking hilarious.
But that was after D.C. in 2018 renamed the the street the Russian embassy occupied to “Boris Nemtsov Plaza.”
Children and grifters are running this world.
I think it's more recent than that.
And then:
LOL.

Brittney Griner is fucked.
Pretty sure the Russians will just hold her as leverage.
I absolutely despise her, she has met her match; and lost.
Imagine my surprise.
Fuck around and find out.

Let it rot.
I hope they give her the full 10 years. She can kneel on an American flag the entire time.
I mean she thinks america is so horrible. I’m sure she is much happier now
Only thing that's missing here is a foreground picture of Biden eating ice cream.
This is America.
