Because the other side don’t care to fight, do they folks? The Democratic Party don’t want to fight for democracy, it’s sad. That’s why I call them the Democrat party. They don’t like it, but that’s okay. That’s okay. We’re gonna keep calling them it anyway! But they don’t want to fight. Won’t fight for this big, beautiful democracy, and won’t fight for, with, their ...your big, beautiful GUNS. We love the second amendment. Some say the best amendment. But the Democrats ...don’t want you to have those guns. Want to take them away. So you won’t be able to fight them.

skim milk burn!
The Hill reports:
Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) on Sunday said Democrats who support impeaching President Trump should “buy a spine” and do it. But he also said they’d regret it, pointing to polls that show a minority of voters back impeachment.
“Impeachment polls right up there with skim milk with the American people. But my advice to my Democratic friends is, if you want to do it, go hard or go home,” Kennedy said CBS’ “Face the Nation” Sunday. “Go to Amazon, buy a spine. If you’re not going to do it, let us get back to work.”

I read that as Visa credit card. There is almost no way they can do a timely search for your social media unless you just suck at using the internet and have everything on full display. They are hoping you will give it all to them voluntarily.

having talked to people who use a bunch of different data sources to aggregate potential customer data, I really assume anyone with enough money to buy bulk data can throw this stuff together
I guess if you've used a different account on a different device that doesn't use wifi, isn't paid for by any account linked to your name, doesn't have gps, has never logged into any website whatsoever other than that account, and uhhh maybe has never opened a web browser to go to anything other than the one site, you may be in the clear

I had to work with Palantir once who was trying to gain access to a bunch of our databases of which I was one of the owners. They just wanted a datadump per the wishes of our company but there was absolutely no rationale about why they needed it or what they would use it for. We refused and eventually, eventually they were like "oh, we don't need it." It was kind of absurd.
