In an unprecedented move, President Donald Trump successfully got his name stamped onto the COVID-19 relief checks that many Americans will soon be receiving.

But the president is not an authorized signer for legal disbursements by the U.S. Treasury. It is standard practice for a civil servant to sign checks issued by the Treasury Department to ensure that government payments are nonpartisan.
Yet he persisted because he is Cruello-The-Vain!
Meanwhile,
Epidemiologists estimates 37,000 American lives (60% is expected to die) would have been saved from Covid-19 infection if social distancing started one week earlier!
The death certificate idea is a good one.

Another Michigan wonder woman.
As I noted elsewhere, his name will be stamped on the memo line. Now the question is “What to write after it?”
Vast majority will be direct deposit, so once again, Fat Nixon misses the obvious.
“Asshole”?
I think his name appears on the “memo” part of the check. At least, that’s what I heard. Mine will be automatically deposited, but I’ll be disappointed if some kind of tawdry notification does’t pop up on my iPhone with “A big strong, powerful gift from your favorite President.”
Mar-A-Lago National Cemetery for the Pandemic of 2020 has a really impressive ring to it.
Joyce is pretty great, too.
Most of this money is being directly deposited, so the only people who will see his name on a check will be those who will be waiting weeks to receive them, and that will only happen if he fails in his attempt to shutter the Post Office!
Speaking of “Florida Men.”
On Tuesday, the health department reported the aggregate number of residents and staff at long-term care facilities who have tested positive for COVID-19, the deadly respiratory disease caused by the coronavirus: 1,179 — up 217 cases since Monday. Most of the cases are in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties, but alarming hot spots have metastasized in three North Florida counties: Suwanee, Clay and Leon.
Which facilities are those?
The state won’t say.
The state is facing a legal challenge from a coalition of news organizations. Begun as a lawsuit drafted by the Miami Herald, the challenge has drawn support from several other news media, including Gannett’s Florida publications, the Sun Sentinel, the Orlando Sentinel, the Tampa Bay Times, The New York Times, Scripps’ five Florida TV stations, and the First Amendment Foundation. The list may grow further.
Soil might not be deep enough and Mar-A-Lago will one day in the not so distant future be swept away by the rising sea.
How about the one in NJ?
Yeah, for burial at sea. It’ll be underwater in the next half century.
We actually had ours deposited today. I sanitized the computer screen when it showed the deposit. Don’t want any Trump cooties on me!
why didn’t he stick his face on them… like …
