Yes, it's only Thursday, but this week feels like one to celebrate. Seventeen "guilty" convictions in the Trump Organization trial, followed by Raphael Warnock's re-election, the House protecting marriage equality, and now, Brittney Griner is coming home. Neat!
Griner will land in San Antonio soon, but the MAGAts and craven Republicans have already been screaming for hours about how awful this deal was. Suddenly, they have all discovered the existence of Paul Whelan, who's been in a Russian prison for four years. And they've gone after Griner for "hating America." What's that about? Sounds like unvarnished racism and homophobia to us.
In short, instead of cheering the fact that a wrongly imprisoned American is coming home, Republicans are trying to turn a win for Biden into a scandal that Whelan was "left behind." Hmmm. Whelan was arrested in Russia in 2018. But Joe Biden has only been President since January 20, 2021. Why didn't Benedict Donald spring Whelan when he was in the White House? Isn't Vladimir Putin his BFF? We cats are simply stumped. And we HISS.
