GTTR hacked day of its July 4 launch.

Several verified accounts were targeted in the cyberattack, including those of Marjorie Taylor Greene, Jason Miller, and Mike Pompeo.

GETTR, founded by former Trump aide Jason Miller, was hacked on the day of its official launch.

The accounts of Miller, Marjorie Taylor-Greene, Mike Pompeo, and other Trump allies were targeted.

A man claiming responsibility told Insider the hack was "easy" to pull off.

test run of the idiot wing to see how it goes. Distractions to let us drop our guard.

Somewhere, evil, but competent people are out there working on the real plans.

at the radio when caller after caller said 'WHY DONT THE DEMOCRATS GET SOME BALLS AND DO SOMETHING" and he was agreeing with them, I tried to call in, couldn't.

I would have asked "you tell me what Schumer can do about Manchin and Sinema and I will call Schumer myself and tell him!"

i.e. they are bought and paid for by Koch, we know that now, there is NOTHING the DECENT other 48 Senators can do about it

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

That attitude is what will sink us in 2022

And if Sinema isnt bought by them, can someone explain her to me?

She's a troll. She enjoys doing things to make Democrats angry, like that stupid curtsy. Of course, she could also be bought out.

13. Sinema Might Get Primaries

There's enough Democrats here in AZ that are not happy with Sinema. She might be on Koch's payroll, but ultimately we can get rid of her on her next run. She was elected by Democrats -- not crossover Repubs -- and surprised that she was able to get elected as an out of closet bisexual in this very conservative state. I think more people will be receptive to an unpaid for Democrat. And it's not like she's an all-star for Arizona. I think her time is limited.

He said she'd be primaried. I always listen to Dr. Dean.

And I hope she knows it. I wish there were other pressures put on her as well. Is there any backlash from the LGBTQ community? Or other Arizona Democrats? Maybe they are, I just don't hear anything.

And I'd just add, at the risk of being risque, that the one "character" in their myopic world view of the LGBTQ community, that a Conservative male will put on a pedestal, purely to add to their fantasy life, is a good looking, bi female.
