If anyone truly wishes to refuse those TrumPayoff checks, I have a suggestion.

I am the official "designated processor" for those refused checks. Simply send them to me and I will handle the rest.

After subtracting a truly nominal handling. processing, and remailing charge, I will quickly send the remainder to your designated recipient. At this point, I estimate that portion to be $15.43.



NOTE: THIS POST IS INTENDED AS SATIRE. iF YOU SEND YOUR CHECK TO ME I WILL ONLY SPEND IT FOOLISHLY.

It's being borrowed from our children and grand children without their consent (Another more accurate word would be "stolen".). My wife and I won't spend it, we're putting it in a fund for our grand kids for them to use as they see fit when they are adults.

We are lucky in that we do not owe anyone a cent. And we do have savings, and 2 pensions, but our youngest was furloughed from her job Monday. Luckily, the oldest and her husband work from home.

Trump will play up this money as he does everything he can to be re-elected and avoid indictment.

People need uninsurance benefits and health care, not a check.

Lindsey just told Trump not to send checks.

We collect food for 2 local pantries. The shelters in our town are consolidating all clients into one location.

But for those of you that really don’t need the money, please think about using it to support your local small businesses.

I plan to order out and tipping big with a portion of ours.
