That’s really what’s on America’s mind. The Hagia Sophia.
US brain incapable of understanding that there are other countries.
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.
Surely the good people of South Carolina will not elect this obvious incompetent cretin to the Senate.
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.
Muslims got Hagia Sophia and Christians got Alhambra and the Mosque of Cordoba. Bet he doesn’t want to return those.
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 said jesus christianity
They should have pay the king with praise and dollars like when they used to. /s
Does he not realize that the Hagia Sophia is not under the control of the US in any way, shape, or form?
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?

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?
Not next, Cuba goes first.
Netanyahu already said so.
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?
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.
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.
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.
It does not. The US is just doing very poor cosplay of a long-dead empire.
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.

Eww
The fuck is he gonna do? Deus Vult his ass over tit?
