"Of course he did. He was promoting it like he had a wagonload of it."

We're going to have to disagree about this.

He never was really on Trump’s side.


Have you been a regular listener since the last election?

Took a look at Sweden who are now following New York in not doing enough to begin with. Sweden did not implement any lockdown....business and restaurants open.... urged only to practice social distancing and avoid traveling (which failed) .....prime minister 'now warning' that thousands will die from COVID-19 , the parliament currently planning more restrictive measures since deaths and cases shot up dramatically...7,693 Cases and 591 Deaths already and quickly rose.

Two Days ago on the street

Leave it to Nike to ride the wave of coming PPE sales. I prefer the motorcycle glasses - they stand out less, look cooler, and are not as much of a hassle to take off and on, or to store. I don't have a pocket big enough to put that face shield in. :)

The only issue with motorcycle ridding glasses though, is how much protection do they really provide - but I've also read that even eye glasses over protection, and motorcycle ridding glasses have foam seals on the back of the lenses which fit against your face - but they are vented?

Rush paid attention to the election too.

He’s not stupid.

But Trump was the very last person he touted.

When he called Rubio a ‘full throated conservative’, I laughed out loud.

That is why “let her rip” was a DOA strategy.

Once the bodies start piling up, the pols have to reverse course—every time—regardless of what they want to do.

That lesson is going to get learned over and over and over again around the world in the next few months....

“That’s probably why my WIFI router came with two 5G radios installed”

Please be aware (do your own research?) that 5Ghz Wifi is a completely different creature than Fifth Generation (5G) cellular.

5G operates at 600mhz (general service) and 24Ghz for broadband.

Your Wifi is not 5G.

“We’ve managed to contain the pandemic,” Maduro says, after reporting just one new coronavirus case in the past 24 hours, for a total of 166.

In defense of CVS, companies were given ZERO notice from the CDC that they were going to chance their recommendations. The corporate office for my husband’s business is struggling to find a vendor for masks for their several million employees. The best they are going to be able to do by next week is provide 2 cloth masks per employee.

And as you know, there are no other masks to be found ANYWHERE.

So, in my husband’s case, he happened to have a supply on hand for cleaning and other purposes, and he has a sweet elderly lady who just delivered 50 hand-sewed masks to his employees.

Again, CDC is ultimately to blame here. 2 months ago they could have been honest with the public and said, yes, you do need masks but we don’t have enough supply, so here’s what y’all need to do.

I agree about Rush. He was very slow getting behind candidate Trump.

I was a daily listener, and I remember one show where he kept whispering “Ted Cruz” as an answer to the questions he was asking. He did this several times during this show.

Mark Levin just got shut off within about four sentences after coming on post daily presidential presser.

Don’t waste my time with BS, Mark.

CDC is definitely the primary bad actor.

However, I would love to be plaintiff’s counsel taking on these big corporations while they pled ignorance about the Wuhan flu and blamed it on the CDC.

The corporations waited for somebody in authority to tell them what to do.

That is _not_ looking out for your employees, that is just going through the motions and doing cya.

Yes. One of the thing learned was people initially were not staying distances as requested, there were still too many ignoring the recommendations. Sweden did exactly as Cuomo did and now the are seeing this drastic rise of death and cases.

It’d be intresting now to follow what happens in Sweden....their Parliment is just meeting about further measures to take but the warning now is clear.
