She disrespected our country she should of served her time to learn her lesson

[TheMjphoto]

Watch her get a Medal of Honor for smoking weed. Unreal

[dougbrigman]

I'm glad she's home but that marine deserves more than she does trade a arms dealer for a basketball player over a marine is bullshit

[usmcmsgt]

It's funny how the media is not talking about the ramifications and the negative impact it could have to have a guy with the name of merchant of death released.

[bryangarnica]

My dad also packed pounds of marijuana by accident in his luggage! Damn border patrol! Where’s his release??

[martharamos]

Maybe now she will stand for the national anthem

[carolstevens]

Honestly Britney should be responsible for all the costs involved..

[imddisinfectionservices]

All of the real issues facing our country I wonder who cares about a second rate b ball player who talks trash about the US?

[bama]

So a drug trafficker and a gun runner are freed, out of prison haha a little ridiculous. She knew what she was doing! I don't feel bad at all. I feel bad for the choices our government made

[rt]

She and Jussie Smollett ...two peas in a pod.
This is ridiculous.

[jknewb]

Who made the negotiations for this? How can the current administration be trying to ban semi auto firearms when they just released a Russian arms dealer. ... HYPOCRISY AT ITS BEST

[amanhasnoname]

The Russians get back the merchant of death to serve his country in a time of war. The US gets back a transvestite basketball player. A win win.

[hotsAUc]

She free🤎🤎🤎.... Like always🫴🫴🫴 those people 💢 mad💯

[cmbr]

She shouldn’t have lied about the reasons she brought drugs along. It was no accident that she packed the cannabis oil. It was for pain, joint pains of a professional athlete. She might not have gone to jail at all.

I completely am against her disrespecting our country. However, I think 10 years in heavy labor prison is a bit harsh for a marijuana vape. After the 🇺🇸 rescuing her, hopefully she will have respect for this great country and not stay in the back for the National Anthem. What boogles me is the Marine didn't get released, that ticks me off.

[wangang]

we kinda dont want her back, All yours Canada!!

[DocProcRealm]

Can we please get Nicholas Cage on board for the sequel
