Unless your last name rhymes with hump?
He hasnât been able to leave the White House!
â The White House Grounds . The Presidentâs Park currently consists of approximately eighteen acres surrounding the White House and is used by the president, the first family, andâon special occasionsâthe public.â
â Sports & Recreation
- The White House tennis court, first built in 1902 behind the West wing, was moved to the west side of the south lawn in 1909 to make way for the expansion of Executive office space.
- A heated indoor swimming pool was built in 1933 for Franklin D. Rooseveltâs therapy as he was disabled by poliomyelitis. During President Nixonâs first term, this space in the West Wing was converted into the White House pressroom. The Ford administration installed an outdoor pool on the South lawn in 1975.
- Bowling lanes were first built in 1947 in the basement of the West Wing but were moved to the Old Executive Office Building in 1955. In 1973, President and Mrs. Nixon, both avid bowlers, had a one-lane alley built in an underground workspace area below the driveway leading to the North Portico.
- A small movie theater, converted from a long cloakroom, was installed in the East Wing in 1942.
- A game room with billiard and ping-pong tables was constructed in 1970 on the third floor of the White House.
- A jogging track was built around the driveway of the South grounds during President Clintonâs first term.
- President Eisenhower had a putting green installed outside the Oval Office with a small sand trap on one side. A new practice green was located on the south grounds in 1996.â
Poor baby!
I wish heâd invite Jesus over for a few games.
The Trump Administration Accidentally Sent Stimulus Checks to Dead People, and Now It Wants Them Back
You can pry my stimulus check from my cold dead handsâŚliterally.
Do they not understand how checks work?
Dead people donât have bank accounts to deposit the checks, or to cash the checks. You canât just walk into a bank and ask for cash for a check if you donât have an account there. And thatâs if the check is made out to you, to say nothing of being written to your dead relative.
So, the pieces of paper languish somewhere until theyâre null and void anyway because the requisite number of months have passed.
And if even that isnât good enough for the Administration, they can solve their SNAFU quickly by putting a stop-payment on those checks. Done.
Nooo! One of those appalling poor people might find to find a way to cash that one cheque after all, probably with the help of a Democrat. And that one poor person might just be one of, you know, those people. Canât have that!
The crazy thing is, if you donât have a bank account (many poor people donât), then you have to provide even more identification to a Currency Exchange or Payday Loan office to prove that you have the right to cash that check.
I mean, thereâs the original bone-headed mistake, and then thereâs the astonishing stupidity about how checks work. These guys are so dumb they canât punch their way out of a wet paper bag.
(But yeah, youâve hit the nail on the head: itâs about those people, pure and simple.)
Has anyone here received their stimulus check yet?
Not a physical check, but our direct deposit landed overnight.
Ditto, direct deposit here too.
I think they want them back so they can frame and sell them in the White House gift shop. Do you have any idea what a valuable collectible Donald J. Trumpâs signature is?!
If they cut a check, it will go out each week based upon income level. They are starting with $10K and below and theyâre supposed to be increasing that level each week.
Money to stiffs, while stiffing live people.
PSA for Canadians â this does not happen with federal government cheques unless you are dead.
If you think you forgot to cash a cheque or two (or ten) back in the day, you can set up an account with CRA and apply to get them reissued.
I have no idea about the US, but I just learned this myself, recently.
The hard part right now is that you need a printer and a non-family member to witness the paperwork. To be fair, they came up with those rules prior to a pandemic.
But if you can, get yourself some money!
They Stand Behind the President, kind of funny:
