The fuck
Thank you
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
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
Have you thought of the Roman Empire already today?
Hadn’t until now. I almost forgot.
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.
So they are want to bomb Turkey next?
Not next, Cuba goes first.
Netanyahu already said so.
They can’t : it’s part of NATO so the US would get involved.
Wait…
Oh, good luck with that. The Turks are famously well armed and very nationalistic.
Do you not realize that “consent” is a foreign concept to conservatives?

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?
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.
They said/did what now o_O Wow, just wow…
Come on Murica! We need to liberate all those muslim turkeys for Thanksgiving and we get our Huge Sofia back! Yee-haw!
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.
Surely the good people of South Carolina will not elect this obvious incompetent cretin to the Senate.
I mean, trade like for like…
Which one are you talking about?
That’s really what’s on America’s mind. The Hagia Sophia.
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.
I would love the US to do that just for the AKP voters in Turkey to see the fact that Erdoğan is the strongest soldier of the American and Israeli imperialism with their own eyes when he remakes Haghia Sophia into a church.
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.
Wasn’t this a pagan site before christianity?
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.
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”.
Muslims got Hagia Sophia and Christians got Alhambra and the Mosque of Cordoba. Bet he doesn’t want to return those.
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.
Haha, exactly what I was thinking
