Let's face it. A POTUS who thinks he needs to travel to Fort Knox to confirm the gold is there needs to be removed from office NOW for cognitive or mental decline!

I wonder if they'll ever read these comments they must put some one on to read them? Tell Seth that Bob testing to see if different shows and stars are smart enough to read their fans comments! Good luck from Bob.

Sledgehammer… wasn't that a TV series in the 70s about a hilariously psychotic overly violent cop? That fits.

These actions (Greenland, ICE, Maduro, Epstein, Greenland, US government taxibg citizens higher who buy Chinese cars (while all of the Chinese products that US corporations get aren't taxed that high )terrorist attack against the people of Iran) of the US government all scream: desperation.

They are destroying the old world order and people think it's by accident. No one in power is serving for the betterment of the people, they are preparing for the next stage… and we are about to suffer even more.
@vinsanity40k
May 16, 2026 at 8:38 pm
it's not a "war" if you just keep slapping "operation" in front of the name. ridiculous.
@olorin4317
May 16, 2026 at 8:38 pm
Bit odd that everything Trump does seems to benefit Xi and Putin in the long run… oh, China was well prepared for a massive oil crisis and Putin cashed in? Ya don’t say…
@olorin4317
May 16, 2026 at 8:38 pm
Interesting how Trump leaves every meeting with Xi or Putin looking like a dog who’s been yelled at by his master…
