What's fucking stupid is that JD Vance himself has participated in the meme.

Oh god his face looks too small for his head on the left, did he catch that from Charlie Kirk?

what the fuck did i just read? this is completely fucked:

He claims he was then strip-searched, forced to give blood samples, a facial scan and fingerprints.

"Later I was taken back in, and the situation got even worse. I was pushed up against a wall and was strip-searched with a lot of force. They were incredibly harsh and used physical force the whole time," he claimed.

The fact they chose not to use the (entirely accurate) headline of "US Denies Mads Mikkelsen Entry to US due to Vance Meme" is the most frustrating part

I know at least two people in this world that do.

Why were they even checking his phone? I went to China recently and they didn't check my phone.

Officers quizzed Mads about his visit, and his plans, before adopting a personal line of questioning. "They asked direct questions about drug smuggling, terrorist plans and right-wing extremism, completely without reason," he claimed.

He should have admitted to that last one. They would have let him right in.

Remember don’t save a Winnie the Pooh, Xi’s mimic on a device that you bringing with you when you travel to China. Or your organs will be harvested :)

I have sent my Chinese girlfriend memes about Xi for ages, also got blocked by the Chinese embassy on twitter 6 years ago. I recently went to China and literally nothing happened. They don't really care that much, as long as you behave yourself and don't try and cause civil unrest.

Even China wouldn't really get you for this. Maybe at worse, a mild telling off.

Well, I on the other hand have a friend from China who casually started explaining me how her boyfriend went to a Chinese jail for 2 weeks after sending a Winnie-the-Pooh meme onto a private WeChat group, acting like it’s not that big of a deal

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Problem was he sent it in a WeChat group. Although that's different, as he wasn't a foreigner. This article is about foreigners and a dude who had a meme saved on his phone.

fuck dude

I've got roughly about a dozen of those JD Vance memes scattered across my gallery

They'd probably magdump me in a holding cell

Wonder what they'd do to people who have literal hundreds of those jpegs

Your username doesn't do you any favor in this case

Don't make fun of bald christian men. They get angry and then their god sicks bears on you for it.

Luckily Vance is the Antichrist. I mean, he killed the pope!
