This meme is a screenshot of a Twitter/X post from the RNC Research account, highlighting a clear contradiction in Bill Clinton's statements about lying under oath. The post states that during a deposition regarding his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, Clinton claimed he "NEVER lied under oath," including a direct dialogue exchange where he answers "No" to the question "Have you ever lied while under oath?" The post then contextualizes this by noting that Clinton was impeached in the past for lying under oath about an affair with an intern. Below the text is a real photograph of Bill Clinton looking somber, seated at a formal hearing table. The meme uses this contradiction to create a satirical, critical joke about Clinton's history of perjury.

This is a satirical political meme formatted to look like a real Associated Press (AP) fact check article from 2024 US election coverage. The absurd headline jokes that a major news outlet had to officially debunk the fake, silly claim that the "JD" in politician JD Vance's name stands for the made-up, nonsensical phrase "Jorkin Depeanus". The humor comes from the ridiculous premise that such an obviously fake, immature joke would become widespread enough to require a formal fact check from a reputable news organization, leaning into online mockery of the 2024 Republican vice presidential candidate. A real photo of JD Vance at a public event with an Ohio state flag in the background appears below the edited headline.

This satirical meme is presented as a screenshot of a fake online news article. The headline claims that gay adult film actor Brandon Cummings, who is said to star in the "Let's Go Brandon" series of male-on-male pornography, was arrested after physically assaulting 35 Neo-Nazis. Below the headline is a mugshot-style photo of a young white man in a white tank top, overlaid on a generic cable news broadcast background featuring a blue digital globe graphic and purple/red light streaks. The meme's title frames the fictional Brandon as an anti-fascist hero, with the "no clothes" line referencing his purported career as an adult performer. The joke relies on wordplay and subversion of the conservative political "Let's Go Brandon" slogan, repurposing it for an absurd, anti-fascist humorous premise.
