the GOP of Pennsylvania attacking personal liberties

“Republican lawmakers in Pennsylvania on Wednesday approved subpoenas for a wide range of data and personal information on voters, advancing a probe of the 2020 election in a key battleground state former president Donald Trump has repeatedly targeted with baseless claims of fraud.”

K: so, the GOP/TFH party is now going after voter’s personal information in some
attempt to overthrow the last election… what is left out is what they intend to do
with all this personal information of Pennsylvania voters?
are they going to go out and intimidate voters into saying they were the
victims of voter fraud? or are they going to mine it to gain better information
about voters in an attempt to influence future elections?

I imagine the law suits are already going into the pipeline…
within two weeks or so, there will most likely be dozens
of law suits against this clear and present invasion of
personal liberties…but, the GOP only cares about
personal liberties when it suits them, as in the wearing of masks
as a “personal liberty” but when it is about getting millions of voters
personal information to rewrite history, hay, no need for any personal
liberty… its for the orange Messiah and getting him back into the white house…
and all personal liberties are fair game if it gets the TFG back into the white house…

Job security for the government lawyers, and entire “justice” system, which the tax payers end up paying. Just another way to rip off the tax payer. If you’re working for the government, getting paid by the tax payer, you need to have a demand for your position, in order to keep your paychecks flowing. No work means no money, so keep making reasons to keep the workload high, and your bank account will continue to grow, courtesy the tax payer.

I wonder when the Pope is gonna have a talk with the 1,000+ priests of his, about all the child molestation cases that occurred in PA alone! Soon, real soon. …and how about the other 49 states?

I wonder why the government isn’t pushing the issue? Get the Pope in front of Congress and have him explain why his people are a bunch of child molesters, and he hasn’t done anything about it. Let’s hear the BS.

No worries, though. We can all hear the horrific stories, and then go on about our lives as if nothing happened, like we did with Brett Kavanough. We heard the stories, and then we put him on the Supreme Court. Un Freaking Believable!

…and I wonder how much the vaccine manufacturers have profited off the vaccines?? Things that make you go hmmmmm.

Political parties are allowed access to voter information: contact details, voting intentions, previous voting patterns etc,… they do have to follow strict GDPR rules to the letter, though.

The same goes for posting political leaflets through letterboxes… it is classed as government business and so is not considered to be junk mail, which means that members of the public cannot obstruct an essential part of the election process… which they often try to do to help aid the party they support, and when you tell them that it’s not junk mail but government business, the dejected look on their faces is priceless. :laughing:

K: this GDPR rules you speak of are EU rules of which you no longer belong…and the U.S
doesn’t have these GDPR rules…my point was more about the GOP/conservative loves
having Personal liberties… as long as it applies to them… for others, not so much…
I will be willing to bet the farm that the subpoena’s are for democratic area’s,
Philly for example… in an attempt to try to weed out enough votes to claim
that IQ45 won the election…

The only possible viable answer is that under precepts of ’ national security’ violations, any party can circumvent processes that are perceived involved.

Generals can be upstaged on any reasonable assessment within a party, even up to and including a chief executive

This is reminiscent of the Civil War.

I got all that… there are many ways in which political parties and voters alike can attempt to tamper with many aspects of the election process, of which I gave an example of, but the situation you’ve cited sounds like it is within the law.

America doesn’t have GDPR rules? Not even under a data protection act?

The UK does still have GDPR rules, albeit in an amended form since 2018… follow it, or face criminal charges.

Political things that PK posts are always so twisted, distorted, and often exactly backwards - they aren’t even worth reading - such as this OP.

The US - unlike the EU - has a patchwork of civil data protection mechanisms that grew out of state statues rather than federal regulations (such as CCPA - California’s data) - so to an extent are a little different in each state - but there are a variety of federal protective laws such as -
Privacy Act of 1974
COPAA - Children’s data
HIPPA - Insurance data

There was an attempt back in 2015 to make a privacy law similar to the GDPR but the US has an issue that the EU doesn’t have - a 1st amendment right of expression and free speech - and that complicated the issue so much that the American’s never got that bill passed (and seeing how much corruption is forming such laws - it is easy to see why protecting personal data would be extremely challenging).

Now that the US is turning communist - I don’t think the idea of protecting personal data is even anything to consider - personal rights are fading across the world - but the pretense will probably continue for a while longer - until reset.

:laughing:

When you say reset, do you mean globalism?

Do you think we will be worse off under globalism, than we are under the current (and previous) state of the world? PK… feel free to reply to that too, if you want.

I meant the already designed and underway global economic reset intended to form the new world digital economy and global dominion.

There isn’t going to be any “we”. We are still semi-free people right now. I don’t think such people are going to exist very shortly. Mindless, drone-like servants of the order will exist (not much different than the socialist political pundits of today - like PK) - whether that is better for anyone just depends on your perspective.

Is he a slave if he doesn’t know that he is?
Is a slave better off not knowing that he is a slave?
Is mindlessness better than mindfulness?

K: the thing about Observe is that he isn’t even American… he has no idea about America or
American principles or more importantly, its laws…

take HIPPA for example, is about medical/health data. it doesn’t protect all health
information, nor does it apply to every person who uses or see’s health information,
HIPPA only applies to covered entities and their business associates…

in any case it is irrelevant to my post where the GOP is attempting to
subpoena email and other private information of millions of Pennsylvanians
in an attempt to use that information to subvert democracy…
of course Observe is all in favor of this which is why he didn’t address
the points of the post… it is easy enough to look up… so don’t his or my
word for it, look it up for yourself…the rest of his post is simply
more insane conspiracy theory of which he seems to have an endless amount…
