We know this because they left Paul Whelan to rot. 

And what did his genuflection to Putin's demands get us? Another U.S. hostage taken in Evan Gershkovich. 

The ENTIRE world sees the Biden administration as total pushovers. Especially when it comes to catering to racial and sexual minorities.

Your premise is that Biden is weak because he handled the Britney Griner situation poorly.  You didn't articulate why, so I started asking why.  You definitely mentioned that Britney kneeled for the anthem, is black, and is a lesbian, but you didn't mention that Whelan had been in jail longer.  

So I was just trying to find out if there was some sort of principle behind your complaint, or it you were just complaining for complaining's sake.  Along the way you said that her race and sexuality didn't matter, so I guess kneeling for the anthem is the problem?  If there is no over-arching principle to you complaint, then you're the feckless one, not me.
