idk if the “lie” claim is the best language they could have used since there seems to be a few sources supporting it https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_of_Winnie-the-Pooh_in_China

that said, obligatory fuck tankies but this is a good meme and fuck ICE.

EDIT CONTEXT: https://www.snopes.com/news/2025/06/25/norwegian-tourist-jd-vance-meme/

ICE and CBP claim the guy was denied entry for drug use. I don’t fucking believe them personally after stories like Khaby Lame essentially being forced to self-deport after some racist MAGA kid decided personally getting him deported was a good move.

But u know we all about honesty in this joint so

    Wait… “finds meme on phone”? Does that mean people are required to give phones for a check up when entering US?

    incoherent mumbling privacy… more incoherent mumbling

      That’s the tip of the iceberg.

      They’ll demand pins, passwords, blood sample, biometrics, etc. recently they demand that visa applicants set their social media profiles to public. Specifically to look for things like this.

        Well, the only social media profile I have under my name is a decade-old facebook profile, if it still exists. Then again, they might not believe that, or otherwise not trust someone with no social media presence.

        Aside from the obvious fact that I wouldn’t want to give them any pins, passwords or blood samples either.

        It’s a shame because I’d love to visit some places and people in the US some time, but not for the foreseeable future…

      Apparently they also demanded his phone password with the threat of a $5k fine or 5 years in prison. I always thought you had the right to stay silent when it came to passwords but idk if that’s any different since he’s Norwegian. Shits fucked.
