The USA shouldn't expend capital and effort helping people who hate the USA....

She broke another country's law, and has to pay the price. Next.

Who cares ? Now she can develop a Russian Ebonics language …..

What's funny is that, considering the pitiful attendance and interest in this league of freakish Black lesbians, no one will really notice....

I bet if the Democrats were running the White House and maybe we had a black woman as a vice president things would be way different! She would be home by now! Oh wait we do!🤷

I don't understand how she's being wrongfully detained. If she had done this in say Texas 20 years ago she would be in the same situation. The law is the law. She knows Russian law. She intentionally violated Russian law the same laws the united states enforced. Lock her up. She knew what she was doing!

If she comes back a changed woman who embraces her femininity like she was created to, she finds her true self, I say it was a stay worth enduring, she'll be much better for it no matter how long.💯💯
