Isn't it??

That looks like Pandora's Box. If you open it, Shariah law pops out.

Sick fucker he is.

You win the day on DU!

To bigger things.
Like couches.

It probably thinks we'll be inundated by ottomans being imported.

Asking for the VP.

get in the way!

Settees, sofas, recliners...

(although I know 45 has been trying to get rid of that )

Because when you're living in a fascist tyranny, it's oh so important which mythology the tyrants pretend to subscribe to....

Thanks for that.

.... that there are actually people who voted for this idiot.

230,000+ voted for him and that shit talk. That State is bat shit crazy.

I'm pretty sure Mexico is growing fond of that wall. Canada is going to need one, too.

And way way worse.

For them it's NOT a conspiracy theory, but TRUTH.

Because Muslims of course.

I'm pretty sure MAGA is negatively impacting more Americans than whatever is happening in Turkey.

...for its ongoing efforts to make Texas look enlightened, by comparison. Much appreciated.

and then some. Clowns galore down there.

Me and Urban Dictionary have become best friends, in recent days...

Electing these lowest common denominators to office is a direct result of defunding education.

The last in education … he is a product of being really stupid

This is put out by the Zwemer Center for Islamic Studies.

It discusses what can or can't be done with Sharia law in the US.
It looks to be used mostly for family disputes. Anytime the Law doesn't
follow US laws the US law takes precident.

The GOP rep is just using scare talking points to avoid his incompetence
and lack of doing what would help actual constituents.

during both his terms of office, with their "justification" being that he briefly attended a "Madrassa" in Jakarta when he, his mother, and stepfather lived in Indonesia (which has the world's largest population of Muslims), before eventually attending a Catholic elementary school.

Nothing Extreme About Indonesian School Attended by Obama

... an irredeemable imbecile. Which says nothing good about the judgement or character of his fellow imbeciles that persist in voting for Republicans despite the mountains of irrefutable proof that they are voting against their own best interests. They just gotta have someone onto whom they can project their own pitiful intellectual shortcomings: Dem dere liberals!

Racists. They cling to it deep down.

"Devil" or "Demon" because their stupid R's tell them so.

“We have a Turkey President… “

Instead of, “The President of Turkey who … “

Btw the President of Turkey has a name too. Erdoğan. ( pronounced Ear daa one)

The sad thing is that there are Oklahomans who will listen to him and say, You tell them liberals
the truth.

I like that one!

I don’t know how solid this list is.

Btw New Mexico is the lowest ranked probably because of the large # of Native Americans.

Her oldest just started 1st grade, and her youngest is starting Pre-K in Lancaster, PA.

The fall of the United States is well underway, now inevitable.

... Clinton was president, some asshole senator from Texas, whose name is not worth remembering, proclaimed that, "Bill Clinton never met an education bill he didn't like!" He intended it as a pejorative, but it just served to exposed the Senator as the idiot he truly was.
Republicans hate and fear an educated electorate, because they are far less likely to buy into the simple-minded conservative bullshit malevolently intended to deprive them of the critical thinking skills one needs to survive in a society so grotesquely corrupted by the corporate hive-mind devoted to keeping them stupid gullible, and easy to manipulate.
As Voltaire so sagely noted, "Anyone capable of making you believe absurdities is capable of making you commit atrocities."
The irrefutable proof of that statement now surrounds us.

But I thought Erdogan was one of trump's dictator buddies?

Pretty sure this clown mixes his religions too.

Same shit, different religion.
And it's not the Ottoman Empire, it's the Trumpian Empire they're trying to impose on America.
There are only about 4 million muslims in the US, but I would estimate at least 30 million MAGATS.
So who's the real threat to the United States? A Muslim Brotherhood that has no real power in the US, or the MAGATS who are lead by Republicans who control all 3 branches of our government?

We have a rafter of wild Turkeys that come through our neighborhood. They look like street thugs in comparison. While I stop everything to watch them when they are around, these colorful birds would but t on a whole new level.

that he won't pardon the Orange Traitor come Thanksgiving.

He apparently forgot that Woodrow Wilson is not currently the President, either.


I mean, yeah, there's a dictator in Türkiye right now, but I seriously doubt he will be conquering Greece anytime soon, let alone laying siege to Vienna.

Tayyip Erdogan at his home in Maralogo a couple of times for dinner while he was a regular citizen?

is Christian Nationalists like YOU trying to establish YOUR version of Sharia law on the rest of us. Stand down, ya doofus, and go read some real history, not what you learned at Patrick Henry College or didn't learn wherever you went!

office, a scary thing.

Note to any republicans reading this...do you want such a person legislating laws that could regulate laws surrounding your financials, your daily living habits/anything else, that are still in crazy land?

Republicans seem to want to keep the rest of us in a state of constant paranoia or something. The OTTOMAN EMPIRE??? Are You KIDDING ME??? WTF???

When you are trying to show that someone is crazy, it's best to get your facts straight first!


I don't know WTF that congressman is talking about or where he got that thought process.

by some podcaster/talking head...

After the last decade, who the fuck knows where they get their conspiracy theories anymore. There's such a massive right-wing conspiracy ecosystem that they come from fucking anywhere and everywhere.

It was clearly a defeat for the Ottoman Empire, which began to decline.

The close of the First World War was the last of many defeats suffered by the Ottomans.

beginning in 1915. They also were part of the axis with Germany in WWI. So, they weren't exactly small potatoes.

I was referring to the cessation of expansion - not dissolution.

the kind of shit they say to fellow conspiracy theorists online.

In fucking 2025, you'd be hard-pressed to find one who doesn't believe something at least as absurd.

Whatever you pick, I can find a white christian american who also did it!

I'll start with McVeigh!

OK has some of the nicest folks I've ever met, but ye gods and panther tracks, the brain dead church lady garbage they put into public office! Even Florida doesn't grow 'em this stupid and then elect them.

"President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey and former President Donald Trump have maintained a close personal relationship, which has influenced U.S.-Turkey relations during Trump's administrations. Their partnership has been characterized by mutual interests in regional stability and cooperation, despite underlying tensions in their countries' political dynamics."

I know there are stupid people like this guy, but goodness, are there so many that he could somehow manage to get elected?

No wonder we are in such trouble.

A raving moron. Our system has failed when people choose to have morons represent them in government.
