What, you're not speaking about Daniel are you? The Chinese guy always out here acting crazy speaking to himself… I have wondered about him, he's a pretty good sized Chinese guy he should be in the army…he was using the toilet next to me speaking mandiran and broken English, he said something about p___y and it made me laugh.. I said ""everyone needs some.p___y once in a while"..then he acted upset.. maybe he's upset because he's not getting any I don't know… It didn't bother me.. I can tell he's acting crazy.. he's not really crazy… His untrimmed toenail makes him seem a little crazy but that's all part of the act… No bother here.. Daniel is a sweetheart.. maybe a little upset that's he's stuck here in the Texas heat.. I don't know for sure… You tell me.. his name is Daniel,…a solid Bible name.. he's alright with me.. I'll make sure nobody hurts him..😊
Try making fun of a particular prophet of a particular religion, you will most likely get your head removed from your shoulders with a small rusty knife in a peaceful manner.
He should move to the US…where comedians make jokes exclusively about politics & nothing else.
In people in America thank they are being suppressed that's what sad about America people wine and cry look at china what they do to people
Just imagine if Trump the Stupid was treated like that for every anti-government statement he has said.
I would never want to live in a country so devoid of humor.
What a boring news story lol!
A Chinese comedian tells a joke that offends some people, gets cancelled, and publicly shamed….doesn't sound all that different from comedy in the U.S. these days. Lol.
Joke not funny. Punish him.
…. I am getting credits to watch this. I am getting credits to watch this . I am getting credits to watch this.
I bet he just read Maria Ressa' s "How to STAND UP to a dictator"
U win sum, he dim sum.
This is what happens if you have teeny diks.
HIS SOCIAL CREDIT SCORE DROPPED LIKE MY BALLS AT THE AGE OF 12
Why anyone associates with those doughnut holes is beyond me.
Only in China.
The only he offended was one tiny man’s ego
😂
It seems that republicans would love to have this or Putins sort of ‚government‘… well Trump Chi, Putin isn‘t that a nice trio😂
😂😂
😂💦💦💦💦🥠🥟
God bless America!
The Chinese government is definitely full of easily offended pansy divas.
Ouch that was really funny stuff. It must have touched a nerve and why are they so sensitive.
"The agreement slashes Chinese tariffs on a wide range of farm and industrial products and removes some barriers to American service providers, like banks and telecommunications companies. And it puts the United States and China on equal footing as China enters the World Trade Organization…" "Passage of this legislation will mean a stronger American economy, as well as more opportunity for liberty and freedom in China." "Trade with China serves the economic interests of America." –Republican George W. Bush
Ma'am….wgaf
love putin and xi🥰😍🤩
So fragile
And all you MAGATS want the us the be the same with y'alls fake patriotism.
See this is authoritarian censorship. See the difference.
Begun… this clone war has
putin and xi are very smart people. many people have told me
Notice how Trump doesn't like to be joked about either…
Kim Jong-un? No. Putin? No. Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud? No. Same mold.
I get offended when people don't pick up their trash and cut in line. I think the Chinese should jail their entire population over it.
The US obviously hasn't gone this far, but the US seems to be heading in this general direction with cancel culture. When it comes to comedy, nothing is sacred and everything should be open to ridicule.
“7 years dungeon, no trial.”
Stick and stones?
I guess Winnie the Pooh is scared of words.
