A while back I signed up with Bluesky,which I thought was great.In no time I had written 230 posts and received good responses. Then yesterday they demanded I sign in. I had forgotten my password and every weak attempt they made to reinstate me failed. As good as they were their system sucked. I still cannot get through. They are cold and unresponsive. It's a pity since I enjoyed posting with them and find returning such a dead end.

Strike Three
One. We lost a great possible president with Al Gore, when the evil Supreme Court handed the victory to Bush, ( shades of their future corruption). Gore would have tackled the climate crisis, and never gotten us into a fake war with Iraq.
Two. We lost a great possible president with Hillary Clinton when the absurd Electoral College handed the presidency to the unfit Donald Trump despite her winning the popular vote. Her election would have moved our country ahead decades, and saved us all from the many failures of Trump's term which millions seem to have forgotten.
Three.We lost a great possible president with Kamala Harris when our gullible, misogynistic male citizens voted for Donald Trump, still unfit and far more insane. Sadly many of the Trump voters were young Latino males who should have been grateful for being embraced by our kind country, but instead betrayed us with the election of a cruel dictator.
If Trump achieves his goals of complete dominance, there may not be a Strike Four as we will no longer be a free country and the 2024 Trump supporters, like the Apostle Peter, will constantly deny they voted for the hateful autocracy we all are living in.

It's hard enough to see the same boring commercial again and again and again. It's even harder to watch when it is inaccurate and stupid. Take the Prilosec "Fire Brigade" commercial. It says why use ten buckets of water to put out a fire when you can use one fire extinguisher? And they show a fire extinguisher dousing a fire that it would only actually take one bucket of water to do the same job, not ten. As an award-winning copywriter for 40 years, I find most of today's commercials lacking in concept, wit and logic. I'd write to the advertiser or ad agency, but I have found that most companies never answer their mail.

I am told that Trump won because he is better at the economy. Hmm. As far as I know Kamala Harris has never declared bankruptcy, but Trump has filed six times. Apparently the American people are bitching that everything is too expensive. Yet it seems like everyone has an expensive cell phone, and the restaurants seem to be full every night I go to to one. And how can teens spend over $100 on a concert? And why didn't these whining Americans want the small business loan Kamala offered? Or the child care she was working on? And wouldn't it have been nice to to have the government handle elderly care? I guess not. They figured they were better off with a president who wants to eliminate Social Security. Hmm. If they thought it was thought it was tough to make ends meet before wait'll till Trump shows how good he is at the economy. Plus you can imagine how beneficial his deportation plans will be for small business. When you can't find anyone to do those jobs you think you're too good for your profits will plummet. As for increasingly high rents, that's not inflation, that's greed. Landlords these days, like dentists, and veteranians want to be rich whether they've earned it not. And there are no rules to stop them from picking your pockets. And going back to those deportations. Let's hope that Uncle Gino and Aunt Maria never find out that it was their nephew's vote that put them on that bus to Chihuahua. Forgetting all that, let's go back to Trump is better at the economy and peruse these statistics.
