Ricochet is the best place on the internet to discuss the issues of the day, either through commenting on posts or writing your own for our active and dynamic community in a fully moderated environment. In addition, the Ricochet Audio Network offers over 50 original podcasts with new episodes released every day.
The podcast goes at Andrew Cuomo hammer and tong as the whistle is blown by a fellow Democrat in New York state on his handling of the coronavirus. But that’s not all! What about Trump and Kevin McCarthy? What about Nancy Pelosi’s enemies list? What about hedge fund guys yelling on TV about people who have no right to invest the way they invest? Give a listen.
