If I was General Grant I would have given less jobs to my corrupt buddies so I could have had a more successful presidency.

His presidency is underrated and was unjustly maligned by Lost Causers, Redeemer Democrats and Liberal Republicans trying to crush the legacy of the Radical wing of the party, but it could have been a lot more.

It's amazing to me how many people are like "nuke/raze the entire south" while completely ignoring all the people from marginalized groups who live there. Single out and target racists and racist leaders specifically.

I mean, I think there's a vast gulf between "We should have gone scorched-earth in 1864 and brutally squashed any hint of sympathy for the Confederacy" and "We should launch a campaign in 2021 to raze everything south of the Mason Dixon and salt the earth."

Reconstruction and how the period between 1865 and 1890 played out is a good chunk of the reason we have to deal with this horseshit in 2021. There could have been a concerted effort to brutally suppress any type of Confederate sympathy and erase all longing for the antebellum South. Instead we got Jim Crow, Birth of a Nation, Daughters of the Confederacy, etc.

Trump adviser Jason Miller to launch GETTR, a 'cancel-free' social media platform
Fox News ^ | July 1, 2021 | Brooke Singman

Posted on 7/1/2021, 4:53:01 PM by McGruff

EXCLUSIVE: Former Trump senior adviser Jason Miller is launching a new social media platform on July 4 to declare "independence" from Big Tech, billing it as a "cancel-free zone" focused on free speech, with "superior technology" that he says will "be the envy" of Silicon Valley.

The platform is called "GETTR," which Miller, the CEO of the company, told Fox News evolved from the idea of "getting together."

GETTR is officially launching on Sunday, July 4 at 10:00 a.m. ET, but the platform is already in the App Stores.


Too much Google for freepers.

I just read about this today via Newsmax. I tried creating an account using my HOTMAIL e-mail account, went through all the steps required to start the account, and was told to look for an email with the verification code. No code arrived and I got an error message. I tried redoing everything later on, creating the account again, and it said that I tried too many times today to create the account. What??? Why can’t anyone on our side get it right from the get go whenever they start a new social media platform?

BREAKING: Trump Reportedly Will NOT Join GETTR Platform Run By Former Spokesman Jason Miller

Speculation continues to mount about what platform President Trump is planning to join or launch, and when it will happen

Bloomberg reports that 45th President Donald Trump will not join GETTR, the new social media platform created by his former spokesman, Jason Miller, despite media publications suggesting the social network was created by “Team Trump”.

A senior Bloomberg reporter explains “Trump isn’t joining Jason Miller’s new social media platform,” and President Trump will not “have any financial stake or participation” in GETTR. “Apparently the ex president still has plans for a separate platform. Unclear what exactly,” she noted. GETTR was officially launched earlier today amid expectations that President Trump would himself be launching a new platform following his bans from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and virtually every big tech platform.

Yep it's this. They absolutely outsourced to the lowest bidders who then hired the cheapest and worst talent who didn't know or care about security. And I guarantee that even if those coders understood or cared about security they were probably given an arbitrary launch deadline and had to cut corners to get it out the door by then.
