I can’t tell if this is real or satire
I thought surely it must be satire, but this was legitimately posted on his Facebook account. I have no words. I guess we’re trying to bring back Byzantium now
Thank you for checking so I didn’t have to
Have you thought of the Roman Empire already today?
Hadn’t until now. I almost forgot.
They’ll have to re-record that song.
It’ll go “Constantinople not Istanbul”
Doesn’t really roll off the tongue though.
Finally, my collection of byzantine coins will be worth something
US’s writers have gotten really lazy since season 240 or so. It’s like they turned the whole show over to a Poe’s Law bot. I keep hoping for something good…there’s interesting fan fic, but they never seem to follow up.
I did the dirty but couldn’t find it. I need a deep cleanse now.
Somehow it’s real… Edit (I had linked the actual post but deleted it to not drive traffic to that shit)
Does he not realize that the Hagia Sophia is not under the control of the US in any way, shape, or form?
Well yeah. But since the war in iran is now totally and completely won. They need a new barbaric country to liberate.
Do you not realize that “consent” is a foreign concept to conservatives?
“Every country in the world belongs to America” -Bandit Keith, Yugioh Abridged
In America
Every country in US belongs to America!!
His drooling constituency won’t
For sure. How many of them could point to it on a map, ya think?
6, maybe 7 people could?
If I had to guess, I’m assuming this is coming from the seemingly common belief amongst the crowd of a certain political persuasion that Christians are the most persecuted people in the world ever, and that Muslims are trying to kill us all or convert us all to their religion?
and that Muslims are trying to kill us all or convert us all to their religion.
It’s always projection with these motherfuckers.
They have weaponized their persecution complex.
Motherfucking abrahamic religious fucknuts who apparently worship the same god always infighting thinking they’re the “better” religion.
God, if he’s real, must be rolling his eyes and simultaneously facepalming so hard right now.
Global north always does this.
US bombs some country in middle east, the people there fight back as self-defense, US says they are fighting in name of religion, and then US commits war crimes there in name of “spreading civilization.”
Just using same rhetoric used against native americans. And people can’t progress during war so US uses that to justify occupation.
Surely the good people of South Carolina will not elect this obvious incompetent cretin to the Senate.
I mean, trade like for like…
What percentage of the good people of SC even know what the Hagia Sophia is?
Which one are you talking about?
For those who don’t know, the original Hagia Sophia was one of the most impressive construction speed-run of all time. Completed in just under 6 years with
4th6th century tech. They botched it a bit so the roof fell but still very impressive.Edit: 6th century tech, first church was made in 4th century, current structure with the speed run was started in 532 and finished in 537.
What’s impressive is that it’s survived centuries of earthquakes without seriously falling apart
Yeah, they would have had a clean run if they had made the dome more curved. It was a bit flat and an earthquake took the dome down and destroyed the altar. Still very impressive and definitely been well maintained.
That’s really what’s on America’s mind. The Hagia Sophia.
Muslims got Hagia Sophia and Christians got Alhambra and the Mosque of Cordoba. Bet he doesn’t want to return those.
Haha, exactly what I was thinking
Ms lindsey probably thinks the HAGIA sophia was a christian church before.
It really was a Christian church before though. It was built as the Christian basilica of Constantinople.
This dipshit is getting roasted by russia fucking today over this. I mean. Where in the fuck did this even come from??
I’m sorry I just assumed this was satire lol.
I yearn for a world in which you were correct…
I mean their propaganda machine created the SC situation to begin with.
Rupert Murdoch is australian
Truly an island that exports horror and takes no responsibility.
I’m sure they’ll go after the Vatican next. Because it’s not Catholic enough.
Sean Hannity just renounced his Catholicism because of that little Trump/Pope spat.
Their “Christianity” is Messianic Trumpism.
I thought it was last days adventism or some such sect. Nutters, the lot of them.
It’s too catholic, not supply side jesus christianity
They should have pay the king with praise and dollars like when they used to. /s
Is he really that stupid? I mean, the intellectual demands in American politics have not been high in the last few decades, but this is a real low point.
Real low point so far…
I’m not sure those kind of people know “low points” anymore. More likely “lowest point yet”.
I’ve been there. Beautiful building with so much history. Definitely NOT located in South Carolina.
I wonder if some deep dark corner of his mind thought Türkiye is near Georgia, and so is South Carolina, therefore I should have a say…
probably confused it with the bird turkey with the country.
The fuck
Thank you
US brain incapable of understanding that there are other countries.
BULLSHIT! PROVE IT!
/s…
How is this not a shitpost?
Southern states breed a type of politician that is what Donald Trump is on a pettier and smaller scale - you could say they were the prototype. Try Ma Ferguson and Alfalfa Bill Murray for stupid fucks that made their way to Governor (Ma Ferguson is probably(?) the originator of “if English was good enough for Jesus, it’s good enough for me”; Alfalfa Bill Murray almost started a Texas/Oklahoma war).
Sorta like how MTG, and Michelle Bachman before her started. National attention for saying stupid shit = avalanche of votes on name recognition in your stupid home state.
The fuck is he gonna do? Deus Vult his ass over tit?
