CNN and Jen Psaki Team Up to Shade Trump Stimulus Check Signatures: Bidens Name Wont Appear Because Its Not About Him
By Tommy ChristopherMar 10th, 2021, 7:45 am
CNNs Kaitlan Collins and White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki teamed up to lampoon former President Donald Trump for delaying the first round of stimulus checks so they could include his signature.
At Tuesdays daily briefing, the CNN White House correspondent asked Psaki for a timeline on when Americans can expect to receive checks from the $1.9 trillion Covid relief bill that passed the Senate Saturday, and should head to President Joe Bidens desk this week.
And in a pointed follow-up, Collins asked Psaki if she had any update on whether or not he wants his signature on there like former President Trump demanded?
-snip-
Well, we are we are doing everything in our power to expedite the payments and not delay them, which is why the Presidents name will not appear on the memo line of this round of stimulus checks, Psaki replied. The checks will be signed by a career official at the Bureau of Fiscal Service.

"Society matters because you matter"
Taxes are the engine of the peoples' social insurance security; repayment for the benefits of being US citizens.

Checks were delayed last year so trump could get his name on them. Biden doesn't care about childish things like that.

She did it purposely.

at the top of the endorsement section:
"By signing and accepting this socialist payment, I acknowledge that President Joe Biden legitimately won, and thank him for this helpful bit of democratic socialism"
