Pay close attention.

During his previous 6 FBI background checks over the past couple of decades, there had been no public claims of sexual assault, possibly as a result of excessive drinking habits.

Have you been paying attention the last couple of days?

Edit: I guess that wouldn't be virtue signaling since signaling a virtue doesn't necessarily mean you are a fraud.

You're also on that personal responsibility, anti-PC tip, but I suspect the personal responsibility thing is more a way to punish yourself. Either way I don't think you're using "virtue signalling" as a liberal.

I'm definitely not doing it as a conservative. Personal responsibility is just common among both sides of the fence. It's just commonly linked to republicans because they use it as an excuse to denounce welfare and justify their positions in life because they refuse to understand the fact that somebody has to be the janitor no matter how hard people work. Honestly I think their the originators of virtue signaling with their holier than thou christian values.

Just because the phrase comes from republicans as a way to lazily denounce people who are progressive doesn't mean that's how I use it.


Edit: Also, I'm anti censorship. Not really anti-PC because I personally try to avoid racial slurs and such, I just don't think I have the right to push that on to others.

Two cities were razed by a tsunami in Indonesia but how can that possibly compete for news time when a rich woman was dry humped 40 years ago?

Don't worry. Hawk and I are gonna vote. That should put an end to elected officials accepting bribes.
