I'm going to the US in a few weeks. I'm taking a factory reset burner phone and putting a brand new M2 in my notebook with a vanilla Windows install. I don't use social media and don't remember my passwords.

And I sure as fuck don't use biometric unlock on anything.

"Mads told Nordlys he tried to explain the images as being harmless and meant as jokes but the immigration authorities ignored his pleas. He claims he was then strip-searched, forced to give blood samples, a facial scan and fingerprints."

Blood for Memes, incredible

Remember some years ago when people were posting online like "in Russia it's illegal to post this picture of Putin 🤣" with this pic?

Now that's the USA.

As much fun as we're having sharing and resharing this ridiculous image of a ridiculous person, this is actually a very serious problem.

If you're going to the US, backup your data and wipe your phone clean of everything personal. Play dumb, leave Facebook & Instagram installed etc.

Don't do anything remotely fancy, because these mf-ers are just entitled children with a gun, they own you.

Or visit Europe

This poor guy was abused and it speaks terribly about the nature of the U.S. There are so many people willing to beat and abuse other people for no other reason than they are given a green light to do so. It's pretty disgusting. People are afraid to voice criticism. When I criticize the U.S. it's because I believed all of the things I was told as a kid that were only partly true, that it's a great county. When people criticize the U.S. they are holding it to a higher standard, they want it to be better. If you can't take criticism you're weak and it shows you don't want to improve or make corrections.

Got lucky. Next person they find with one will be sent to the concentration camps.

Critique of the dear leader is forbidden. Freedom truly is dead.

They will not stop with tourists and immigrants. They're preparing to crush democratic resistance.

It's a movie plot but I wish somehow hackers could inject random anti Trump memes on all phones just to see what happens.

Y'all are making it so easy to keep these fuckin' elbows up.

President Rapist, Couchfucker Veep.

This is America. It's pitiable.

Quick! Someone make it a Garbage Pale Kid card. 🤣

Mads Mikkelsen

Did anyone else immediately think of Galen Erso?

In all seriousness this is really scary and I’m glad the guy is ok.

Bro did nothing wrong

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.

this thread needs more JD Vance memes.

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.

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

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

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

Mads Mikkelsen

Oh good lord, that is terrifying!!! Imagine waking up in bed to seeing THAT!!!

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

Say thank you. /s

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

Here in the British Colonies of America, we have a long tradition of never criticizing our leaders. Wait, United STATES or America?? When did that happen? Oh, I have made some serious mistakes.

obviously they thought he was gay~

/s

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 :)

How long before they're turning American citizens away, making them essentially stateless?

Honestly just boycott the fuck out of Disney World and watch them use their massive power to remove Trump yeah? I feel like if they truly believe they’re not going to get any intl travelers it might cause some alarm

Don’t travel here. Our policies are insane.

Let this meme become god

Do not mock the Dear Leaders pet!

Yet another reminder that nobody should be travelling to the USA.

It is not the welcoming place that it's marketing claims it is.
