Signaling virtue is good, actually.
If they lack that virtue, they should resign and be replaced by someone of higher character.

They don't have any power to do anything. They have none. Zero. Zilch. Everything else is virtue signaling. It's futile gestures.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Bratwurst history could be rewritten after a chance find dates Germany's first sausage stand to 1269 in Erfurt, beating the current title-holder in Regensburg (below) by over 100 years.
Historians are now on the hunt for the site where the Erfurt sausage stand once stood.
