#ETTD: The Kennedy Center edition

Everything Trump Touches Dies. Ask Trump Shuttle, Trump Mortgages, Trump Marina, Trump Plaza, Trump Taj Majal, Trump Vodka, Trump Magazine, oh I could go on and on. Ask the careers and reputations of his sycophants. During the...

Steve Helmer The question is, do they die because he's a bad businessman or because he's a con artist and his failed business ventures/remodels a way of laundering money he's getting through not-so-legal ways.

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (126261) • United States 2 Feb

Hello everyone. I hope your day is off to a good start. It is 13 degrees F and dark here at the Jersey Shore. The high for today is 32 which sounds reasonable after the past week of craziness. I went to bed early last night. I...

Go Crossbones @crossbones27 (52205) • Mojave, California 31 Jan

Steve Helmer A lot of people think Trump is Hitler. I think he's a senile old man who is being manipulated by those around him to make themselves richer. Pay attention to the stock market whenever he makes his threats. He wants to invade Greenland; the stock market falls....

Is there no end to the madness?

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (54531) 1 Feb

I used to try to always give people the benefit of the doubt. I like to think most people are kind and empathetic. I'm a grown woman, a mother, a grandmother. I've seen a lot of life, met a lot of people. I know there are bad...

Would you watch Melania's movie?

The Horse @TheHorse (234740) • Walnut Creek, California 31 Jan

I understand there's a new movie out, perhaps funded by Amazon. It is supposedly about Melania Trump, Donald Trump's wife. I have read that the movie is absolutely terrible, and that attendance during its first week in the...

Steve Helmer I wouldn't see any documentary in the theater. It's just too expensive not to watch a movie with action in it. As far as one about Melania Trump- that just seems boring. Something I maybe would put on as background noise if nothing else was available to put me...

Have you been behind the guy buying lottery tickets?

The Horse @TheHorse (234740) • Walnut Creek, California 31 Jan

I know I have joked about this many times, but it just happened to me again. All I wanted was a small bottle of Scotch, so I could have some with my yogurt, and live to be 107. The fella in front of me had a six-pack of beer,...

Bensen32 @Bensen32 (28606) • United States 16 Jan

Bhem @JustBhem (70555) • Davao, Philippines 24 Jun 19

What is your secret for having a Long Term Relationship?

Jandie @tech40 (23230) • Philippines 24 Jun 19

Steve Helmer I think the best piece of advice I could give anyone is to keep your dirty laundry between the two of you only. It's much easier to resolve an argument if you aren't getting a bunch of outside advice/opinions from people who have their own motivations.

Thelma @thelme55 (77615) • Germany 18 Jun 19

Again! It is not new to me that we have a bomb alarm here where I live. The bombs were the remnants of the 2nd World War thrown by the allies (American or British army). Every time a new building is built, the workers have to...

Steve Helmer Don't have a problem like that here. But, I have been in a couple sheds that had very old boxes of dynamite (once used for removing stumps). Was afraid to sneeze.

danishcanadian @danishcanadian (28954) • Canada 15 Jun 19

AmberLynn @ScribbledAdNauseum (104615) • United States 14 Jun 19

A person on my facebook just shared a supposed incident that happened in my city. The incident involved a young lady and a well spoken, cleanly dressed black man. Those two identifiers always makes me raise my eyebrows. [i]Is this...

Steve Helmer I've found stories like that are loosely based on an isolated incident and blown out of proportion so people will share it. As for it being a black man, racism is alive and well.

Movie Review-Aladdin

Denise Knight @gnatsmom (2575) 11 Jun 19
