Someone *could* argue that symbolic gestures are actually meaningful, that demanding leaders do better can be worthwhile even without a specific policy and such symbolic arguments are not virtue signaling.

But not a dude like @DanCrenshawTX whose tweets include: pic.twitter.com/vWV8uGFbGa

I'm just a little skeptical of the motives of the politicians saying today's tragedy requires an instant rethinking of policy but after every mass shooting in this country insist the only answer is to do absolutely nothing.

Some of those unvaccinated who are filling up critical care units all over the US are the same who fight universal healthcare by arguing they don't want to pay for other people's bad health choices.

If you’re thinking about making a political statement concerning the deaths of Marines and sailors, please stop yourself. Mourn these heroes for what they are. Tying them to your politics dishonors the fallen.

If you don't like that the Taliban are back in control of Afghanistan, maybe the time to raise objections was back before the previous president signed the country over to them in February 2020.

As many as 22 active duty & veteran service members kill themselves each day. My husband's squadron has lost two in just the past few months.

Megyn could talk about that. She could take this moment to encourage vets to seek help if they need it. But she'd rather do this instead. https://t.co/Hr2NsAylvh

Oh, good, I was wondering when the right-wing smart set would arrive at "we should engage in collective punishment against civilians, you know, like what the Germans did in World War I and World War II." https://t.co/Q0jineSXw0

Seriously, someone tell me what the House would do at this point that is not already done.

Authorize military operations? Already authorized.

The SIV program already exists.

Funding for operations exists.

What are you going to do on the House floor, Congressman? https://t.co/kivntuQGKw

Virtue signal. He wants the speaker to call the congress into emergency session so he can virtue signal plus get some more air time on Fox News.

Republicans feel comfortable demanding Joe Biden's resignation in a way that they didn't with Trump because they think it's a perverse appeal to his sense of honor and duty. A trait the former president didn't have and thus, couldn't be appealed to.

Brian is projecting the emotions he feels during school shootings. https://t.co/570aom87z2

Interesting. I mean it’s not like he’s the one who eagerly tweets out the text of the second amendment minutes after news begins to break of yet another shooting.

Let me get this straight: Getting vaccinated to save others during a pandemic is a personal choice, but what a woman does with her own body should be mandated by the government?

Does H.R. McMaster know that American soldiers were killed in Afghanistan while he was national security advisor? https://t.co/MesUrJfp03

I hope someone followed up by asking about previous terrorist attacks. During Trump's term, there were at least 560 causalities from ISIL attacks in Afghanistan. 141 of these occurred under McMaster's watch. 98 more were killed in the 3 weeks after McMaster's resignation https://t.co/Ax4pDf47Li

It wasn’t hubris that drove America into Afghanistan. It was fear. by Robert Kagan
Americans may consider their Afghan experience a failure. They would do it all over again if given the choice.

You spent years trying to corrupt and then overturn a US presidential election, including hijacking US foreign policy to strongarm an ally under duress to aid your corrupt scheme, all to keep a sociopath whose mismanagement helped kill 600,000 Americans in power illegitimately. https://t.co/9sJwb3Qpsi

You don’t have to take seriously those who see US troops getting killed primarily as an opportunity to repeat preconceived domestic political talking points without considering strategic circumstances or realistic alternatives to US actions.
They’re not taking it seriously either

This was a lie when you first said it in 2015, it is a lie now.

Some abortion clinics donate tissue for lifesaving medical research, with patient consent. They don't "profit" from it. Nothing is sold, and money doesn't change hands except to reimburse the cost of transport. https://t.co/zJMW9MBAIz

Afghanistan coverage once again answering the question, "is there any amount of lying or bad faith that would cause the media to stop giving Republicans the benefit of the doubt?"
