This means the entire Trump elitists have been exposed. And it means they’ve taken it to their families. That’s the way it goes with COVID 19. Their cockiness won’t keep them safe.

I hope the news media’s practice of distancing themselves and wearing face masks keeps them from getting it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Caroline

Radio Caroline is a British radio station founded in 1964 by Ronan O'Rahilly initially to circumvent the record companies' control of popular music broadcasting in the United Kingdom and the BBC's radio broadcasting monopoly. Unlicensed by any government for most of its early life, it was a pirate radio station that never became illegal as such due to operating outside any national jurisdiction, although after the Marine Offences Act (1967) it became illegal for a British subject to associate with it.

The Radio Caroline name was used to broadcast from international waters, using five different ships with three different owners, from 1964 to 1990, and via satellite from 1998 to 2013. Since 19 August 2000, Radio Caroline has also broadcast 24 hours a day via the internet and by the occasional restricted service licence. Currently they also broadcast on DAB radio in certain areas of the UK: these services are part of the Ofcom small-scale DAB+ trials. Caroline can be heard on DAB+ in Aldershot, Birmingham, Cambridge, Brighton, Glasgow, Norwich, London, Portsmouth, Poulton-le-Fylde and Woking.

In May 2017 Ofcom awarded the station an AM community licence to broadcast to Suffolk and north Essex; full-time AM (medium wave) broadcasting, via a previously redundant BBC World Service transmitter mast at Orford Ness, commenced on 22 December 2017.

Radio Caroline broadcasts music from the 1960s to contemporary, with an emphasis on album-oriented rock (AOR) and "new" music from "carefully selected albums". On 1 January 2016, a second channel was launched called Caroline Flashback, playing pop music from the late 1950s to the early 1980s.

It's got to be running rampant in there now, or will be within days. If they don't require everyone to be wearing masks at all times, especially now, then they are being wildly irresponsible. I expect there to be no mask policy.

He/she was first, but I don't think they ever named who. It was around the same time that two people at Mar-A-Lago tested positive and the administration was still saying, 'oh no, we don't need to test the pres and VP, they're fine." Of course, now we're at the point when everyone that comes near Trump is required to be tested every single day. He's terrified. And yet, we're all supposed to be warriors, willing to lay down our lives for the greater good of the economy.

This would be a great time to show her loyalty to the cause.

What's more likely is a trip to the border to spread the disease to the children her husband is so fond of putting in cages.

It would be fun if she gave the orange racist moron and his slumlord son-in-law heart attacks.

I’m Not Sayin’
May 08, 2020 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Look, I’m not saying that I am happy to hear about Pence’s Press Secretary Katie Miller having coronavirus.

Stephen Miller, Trump’s Resident Nazi, is married to her so that woman has been punished enough.
But maybe having this virus dance its deadly cha cha around Trump Himself will get him to pay attention to it.
