Wasn’t this a pagan site before christianity?
As someone who lives in South Carolina, there is one small benefit to this guy being such a nutcase, He’s distracting Lindsey and his PACs, we’ve gotten a couple fliers in the mail from Lindsey Graham affiliates calling out Mark Lynch’s crazy antics (most specifically his calls to legalize cocaine). Haven’t seen one ad attacking the leading Democrat, Annie Andrews. And sure, that will probably pick up after the primaries are over, but I do love watching Republicans waste money fighting each other.
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.
I can’t tell if this is real or satire
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.
Somehow it’s real… Edit (I had linked the actual post but deleted it to not drive traffic to that shit)
I did the dirty but couldn’t find it. I need a deep cleanse now.
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
They’ll have to re-record that song.
It’ll go “Constantinople not Istanbul”
Doesn’t really roll off the tongue though.
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.
Feels crazy to see this. But I saw some headline where after Iran, Turkey is next on Israel’s list. This could be painting the seeds?
Come on Murica! We need to liberate all those muslim turkeys for Thanksgiving and we get our Huge Sofia back! Yee-haw!
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.
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?
Okay, ignoring that reading this has made me even stupider - I always assume there was SOME kind of thought process that lead to such statements (yeah yeah I know, haha politicians and thought processes ololollol) and I’m very interested in this one. What exactly happened there? Where did the connection between the Hagia Sophia and the office of senator for South Carolina come from? What is he free-associating?
Where did the connection between the Hagia Sophia and the office of senator for South Carolina come from?
He is a senator. The Roman empire continues.
Even senators need some kind of prompt to produce their nonsense. Who told this guy the Hagia Sophia was in the circle of influence of the SC senator?
US politicians believe their constituents elect them to police the middle east. See everything in Iran, Iraq, their rabbid support for Israel, etc.
They truly believe that God granted them this power to spread his war on Muslims. That’s why a SC sensor thinks he has control over Hagia Sophia.
Okay, yes, that makes sense (as in, I can see where this is coming from, not as in, it’s sensible). But a senator? Potus, sure, obviously. Possibly a governor even. A senator? This seems like a fundamental misunderstanding of the office itself.
It is. But you see, that doesn’t matter.
It does not. The US is just doing very poor cosplay of a long-dead empire.
Religion masking fascism
The only connection I could make that would make sense to someone like that is Türkiye is near Georgia and so is South Carolina, therefore it’s in the US… but I’ve learned you should never try to ascribe logic or reason in situations like this. There is none. It’s almost like they use a random word generator in their attempts to manufacture the outrage of the day.
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…
This dipshit is getting roasted by russia fucking today over this. I mean. Where in the fuck did this even come from??
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 sorry I just assumed this was satire lol.
I yearn for a world in which you were correct…
Eww
US brain incapable of understanding that there are other countries.
BULLSHIT! PROVE IT!
/s…
Does he not realize that the Hagia Sophia is not under the control of the US in any way, shape, or form?
“Every country in the world belongs to America” -Bandit Keith, Yugioh Abridged
In America
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?
Netanyahu already said so.
Not next, Cuba goes first.
They can’t : it’s part of NATO so the US would get involved.
Wait…
Do you not realize that “consent” is a foreign concept to conservatives?
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?
That’s really what’s on America’s mind. The Hagia Sophia.
