    Eh, I really don’t think many people are saying “I wasn’t going to vote for Biden, but he freed Brittney Griner.” And there are surely others who think Biden was wrong for trading an arms dealer for a WNBA “star.”

        The moronic move was trading the Merchant of Death for a WNBA player.

        Tell me, what was gained by the trade? How exactly was it worth the political capital? How is Griner worth it but Whaelen is not?
